PBP UFC Nashville - Lewis vs. Teixeira Official PBP Discussion: Sat 7/12 at 6pm ET

[MMA4Life]

I'm not even sure why I'm suddenly posting more here TBH. It might not last, it might last indefinitely. At this point even *I* don't know. I'll just ride the wave as long as possible.

You were in the pocket man. Jokes were hitting analysis was on point. PBP Champ was you tonight lol. Next time I see you you will be a mod.

That crowd went nutz for Lewis --

looked like they were all in on the fun.

Somehow I don't think any of them went home outraged over the stoppage to the point where they won't get any sleep the rest of the weekend. But that might just be me.

I didn't start the PBP that way though. First couple of fights I was getting people mixed up and pulling a Biden. But yeah, after that I pulled myself together

Why did they stop it?

Because it's scripted bro!

Their is a bit of jest in my posts I’m not serious sorry to bother you

Hat is fair, my brain being 12 beers deep is almost certainly not functioning as it should be.

Cheers brother, no worries, I'll take the L here.

You still worded it fucking stupidly though lol

Losing money due to the result AND seeing the "wrong" winner call Trump? Yeah, I'd be surprised if multiple riots weren't being started by some Sherdoggers tonight.

Sounds like you should write your congressman​

I don’t think they are allowed to do that right? I’m pretty sure if a foul occurs you have to pause the action right away.

So it’s either:
1. Stop the fight
2. Pause the action and take a point while Derrick is trying to finish
3. Let Derrick try to finish but let Tex get away with the grabs

They do it all the time with fence grabs. They just never take points for it and warn them instead when it prevents a takedown.
It's no different in this case it just seems like it because he was dropped prior. Think about all the times a fighter has grabbed the cage, to work their way to the feet.
Sean O'malley literally was hanging of the cage with Herzog as ref. He didn't care that time... If he stopped a fight for a TKO off a fence grab, he should be fired.



You have to look at what is happening when the fight is stopped. A fighter has intelligently defended himself multiple times through 3 different positions.
If he stopped it to take points sure, but you can't defend that stoppage at all. Let it play out and penalise the fighter after.

Didn’t think Lewis had much of a chance tbh.

Well done to the posters that were backing him all week.

Great fight, @Oz.Pride

Jake Matthew’s vs Paddy Pimblett!,

Have been calling this for a while. Jake handles him easily, if Paddy had the balls to stop being a weight cutting can.

Some mismatches and main event wierdness aside i enjoyed this event, plenty of finishes and a few decent scraps with only a couple dull fights - 7/10.

Because it's scripted bro!

I closed my stream after the Wondermiddleagedman fight, totally forgot the main event was coming up
