PBP UFC on ESPN 58 Perez vs. Taira Official PBP Discussion: Sat. 6/15 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT

7/11.

Was hoping for better.

 

[Fact Checker]

Dom saying he targeted the knee, he's also the guy who said Conor was just blocking punches with his face

Dom is right about this one. He’s normally spot on with his X’s and O’s when he’s unbiased.

Normally fighters use the backpack to fall straight backwards. Taira first took the crossgrip before leaning his weight to the opposite side and shifting both their weights on Perez knee.


That’s a man who understands grappling and leverage.


I’m very impressed

Taira's scream just scared the cats out of my living room. haha

My pug popped her head up from a deep sleep and looked from left to right like she just got plucked in the butt.

 

[GSP_37]

After the post fight interview, was Tatsuro making a double handed jerk off motion?

 

[onSMASH]

Taira trying WAY too hard, made me cringe even more than his dirty-ass fight strategy.

It's a dirty sport, you're literally in there to hurt each other. Fuck are you crying about.

 

[HHJ]

He looked elite on the feet, not surprised he kept it there for a bit.

defense was sus

he need to work on that

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Dragged one of my frat bros through the streets of Memphis at 6 AM. He was on acid, thankfully I was not. If I'd turned right coming out of the building instead of left, I might not be posting here tonight. Ended up at the Peabody hotel, still amazed a cop didn't see us to this day since we both surely would've gotten arrested.

 

[linvillegorge]

The kid looked good tonight but this commentary dick riding is something to behold.

 

[milliniar]

I'll dub that a rodeo takedown by Taira

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Dude jumps in for a selfie, then leaves Taira hanging on the day lmao

 

[Cherry]

Goodnight Sherdog

 

[Bradillac]

Those who say Perez won round 1 (because stats!), are you watching it with Chris Lee per chance?

Wait, people are saying Perez won r1 lol? Tiara dominated that round. The 2nd was closer until the finish, but Tiara was still in complete control.

 

[milliniar]

After the post fight interview, was Tatsuro making a double handed jerk off motion?

He wanted everyone to line up in front of him

 

[Substance Abuse]

I thought it was cool lol. Was he intending to blow out perez's knee? no, but the way he was dragging perez to the mat from back control with the laced leg was pretty fucking slick.

On replay, you're right. Looked accidental at first, but with intent after I looked at it closely. Good call.

Yes because stats says he landed more strikes!

Pretty sure the idea in fighting is to hurt the opponent -- sucks, cause it might be a sideline of time off and recovery, but is that not the fuckin idea? To destroy what's put in front of ya?

Call me crazy, but stopping the opposition is the actual goal, right?

 

[Your Salad]

Submission or random bullshit?
A very MMA thing to discuss.

BRB, starting a thread in the heavies.

 

[fortheo]

Submission or random bullshit?
A very MMA thing to discuss.

I'm going with "BOTH"

And I enjoyed it lol. Dude was swinging on Perez like a spider monkey.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

It's a dirty sport, you're literally in there to hurt each other. Fuck are you crying about.

It's a sport with rules that just adopted new gloves specifically to halt the eye poking epidemic that Taira seemed all too eager to continue. Don;t even get me started on the knee thing.

 

[ExitLUPin]

My God, Bisping is sucking him dry

Sometimes it's very obvious when a commentator has alot of money on a fighter. It's usually Bisping too lol

He was a second away from saying Taira is bigger than Ohtani in Japan.
