PBP UFC on ESPN 53 - Ribas vs. Namajunas Official PBP Discussion: Sat. 3/23 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT

[KOPPE]

I give it to Parkin

 

[OldFashion]

Parkin was easily outstriking Usman throughout the fight, Problem is judges still don't know how to score leg kicks

 

[wufabufa]

Just working guess I'll tune in. Any good under the radar fights tonight?

Saaiman vs Talbot

Usman needs to learn how to box properly from his stance instead of trying to switch off the cross and throw superman punches.

His feet don't move properly.

 

[Elvis.]

Close shave

 

[Urluberluu]

Ufc should cut them both

 

[CleverNameEh]

Imagine fighting an english opponent and not trying to wrestle them.

Fucking hetard

 

[Dorkman]

Feel like it should be parkin. But who knows.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

No clue whatsoever who won that

Not the fans for sure.

 

[OldFashion]

Judges got it right

 

[Bradillac]

That is a robbery lmao. Parkin did nothing in the 3rd.

While this is normally true, they seemingly did there. I think that's the right decision here. Parkin landed more, cleaner and did damage to his leg

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I have it either 2-1 Parkin or a draw. it was close.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Parkin just cruised the lot, looking for his spot
Mo missed his chance to pull in

 

[Spounman]

Cry some more Mohammed, and eat that

 

[BFoe]

Where do they find these cans to feed Usman?

I mean... a HW on a 3 fight winning streak will be fighting a ranked fighter or at least Arlovski but it is pretty clear they have zero confidence in Fat Usman but want to keep him for his last name.

No way in hell was he ready for anyone in the top 20. I suspect the reason the UFC has no confidence in Usman is… because he is not good lol. I didn’t have confidence in him either.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Parkin 29-28 is the right call but I really thought judges would score it Usman

 

[KOPPE]

Boxer and Mo Usman dont mix

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

Snoozeman era ain't coming back

 

[Psychojoe86]

Usman should have mixed in some wrestling for this fight. Coaches let him down on this one.
