PBP UFC on ABC 6: Whittaker vs. Aliskerov Official PBP Discussion: Sat. 6/22 at 12pm ET

[Bobby Boulders]

Fuck terrible hotel wifi in Alaska for making me miss this entire card. Glad to hear Bobby won even if I was picking Ali

Was thinking I hadn't seen you, and that isn't normal. The card in reality wasn't nearly what it was on paper. Main card was OK, prelims were pretty boring

Ikram wasnt ready

The UFC thought he was. They 100% put him in that spot to highlight reel a legend but he ended up on the wrong side of one.

Might be some significant chin questions. Whittaker has never been a huge puncher and he put him on baby deer legs with a punch that didn't even look all that clean.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Quite the main event. Reaper proves he is in fact still in contention.
I'ma dive back to bed. Have a good one, Shermanos!

The one question I had about Bobby is if his reactions were slowing a bit. I believe he put that doubt to bed today.

 

[HeadKickerV2]

I really wanted to see if Khamzat would be able to take Bobby down... if Khamzat would be able to take Bobbies punches... fck

 

[flektarn]

All that said, changing opponents on a week notice and having to adjust his weight cut sucks. But a dude with two fights in the UFC shouldn't even have been sanctioned against the #3

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Ah, they'd wanted to promote 303 with Conor headlining on ABC, this card was strategic. I bet this card still does well, relative to any other card without Conor. Lots of people watching this promo on ABC right now

why are people posting hillary duff all of a sudden what did i miss

it is DUFF DAY!!

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Yeah because hes "mopped the floor" with every top guy hes fought. Dude barely beat a small Burns and scraped by a last minute Usman, lol.

Burn’s definitely isn’t small lol, he walks around at 200lbs and thick. Why act like burns wasn’t the 2nd best WW. He didn’t scrape by usmsn either, he ragdolled him and show their levels apart.

[Objectively Correct]

it is DUFF DAY!!

what that mean

 

[Timewarp]

Khamzat would mop the floor with Poobert

Typical khamzat fan. "Khamzat would do this khamzat would do that blah blah" all talk, undisputed twitter weight champ no doubt.
Major props to Rob.

FTFY

How?

Are you serious?

Ikram essentially spent a week longer cutting weight than Rob, the he got on a plane and travelled half way across the world whereas Rob was already acclimated. Did you see their weigh ins? Ikram looked absolutely horrible. Props to Rob but this was in no way an even playing field.

Having two weight cuts In a week may have fucked his chin as well

Whittaker's first finish in seven years holy guacamole

That tells me he fought a can in disgiuse.

Ikram got put out cold in the 1st against Khamzat too. He doesn't have a good chin.

While Rob's finishing has been a big problem in years he's mostly fought guys with iron chins or great defense - Yoel, Izzy, Kelvin, Vettori, Dricus, Cannonier... None of those guys have been KOd @ MW except for Izzy against Poatan in round 5 and Cannonier in one of the worst stoppages ever against Imavov. Rob damn near had Jared out too and stumbling all over the octagon. He also has Vettori as rocked as we've ever seen.

Costa and Till are probably the only 2 he should have def finished who have either shaky chins or bad defense. Ikram has both.
