PBP UFC on ESPN 56: Lewis vs. Nascimento Official PBP Discussion: Sat. 5 / 11 at 4pm ET

[Sivo The Ram]

love the armbar attempt, but he's gotta work on that takedown defense if he wants to become a contender

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

1-1 very well could be 2-0 Buck

 

[Substance Abuse]

Buckley is such a good athlete that he doesn't need to improve his approach or get too tactical. Unfortunately, it won't carry him to the top and his downfall will be quick and expeditious.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Can’t tell if ruziboev is a really bad at TDD or if Buckley has developed a really solid takedown game

He has a good double leg but ruziboevs wrestling is not good from what I’m seeing

 

[CrimsonFan]

2-0 Buckley.

Hes doing what he needs to do to win this absolute trap of a fight. His manager is a dumass for booking him this fight right nos

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Imagine Ruziboev vs Matt Serra.

Matt Serra out here catching strays lol

 

[GreenGorilla]

I feared this might happen, Ruziboev is not physical enough at this weight and way too predictable with his approach. I sparred a guy that was tall like but just as lanky and it was the exact same thing, a fucking bitch to get into range and find entrances but if you can time his right hand you hit the TD every time.

 

[Urluberluu]

weird fight no striking trade only takedowns from and usless kick from rusiboev

Buckley hasn't done anything with the takedowns.

Rusiboev hasn't done anything.

 

[Jackonfire]

Can’t tell if ruziboev is a really bad at TDD or if Buckley has developed a really solid takedown game

He's using a lot of strength on these td's

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Maybe he will rely less on it and develop more technical skill eventually. Top tier athlete

 

[Neck&Neck]

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Buckley must've watched Meinfield and that's holding him back because these blitzes have been so half assed

Ruzi looks like he's slowing down and gassing and Buckley still looks fresh but his entries are way too safe imo.

 

[neandertal]

He grazed the off button there.

 

[duke_droese]

Long left hook and jab are open for the giant.

 

[Momentosis]

Ruziboev is tired and hurt.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Full mount

 

[SamuraiBro]

Honestly neither look that good

 

[AmericanParadox]

I don’t know what y’all are talking about, Buck looking great. Keeping it all together against a big dangerous dude.

 

[MGS]

illegal upkick, nice

 

[Poirierfan]

Bring on the main event already, this one's over.
