Media UFC on ESPN 72 - Dolidze vs. Hernandez Official PBP Discussion: Sat 8/9 at 4pm ET

[Spounman]

Is guiding the head directly like that not a case of spiking? Genuinely curious

Nah, it happened before

 

[rorschach51]

Beautiful timing, although I reckon @helax probably tapped him with a triangle choke from guard, its a well known fact Kowboy has 30 seconds of gas, possibly 32 seconds on a good day.

@Kowboy On Sherdog would never tap. He's still a Cowboy's fan somehow, that says it all.

@Kowboy On Sherdog taking down @helax at Meow Rumble 88, back in 1978
Reminded me of that

I think that the rule is that even if it is technically a spike they don't call it a foul if it's done to escape a submission attempt. The theory is that if the other fighter doesn't realize what's happening and release his hold to prevent it, welp, that's on him.

 

[helax]

Best slam we seen in ages in UFC

It was so good! We deserved it!

I think the last memorable one for me was when Jessica Andrade slammed Rose on her skull, twas a sad day that one

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I don't know about you guys but I just loveeeeee slam finishes, something about them look so awesome, I think its the impact of them and also they are quite rare, so its always so awesome when it happens. LOVE IT

 

[MisfitsBR]

Last three fights have been money. Three straight finishes.

wow, I guess I'll have something to watch at the treadmill tomorrow

 

[Axe720]

But seriously, at some point Kazama needed to realize going for the sub was only getting him punished more and get back up. It wasn't just the slam, he was opening himself up for shots to the face for at least 2 minutes straight before that.

I've noticed that happens a lot these days. It seems unless a fighter is an absolute ace on the ground, going for creative subs from the bottom is an inferior choice compared to sweeping or scrambling back up.

Nah... Just had my morning protein shake and Monster

 

[AmonTobin]

This card is goated thus far for so many underwhelming names

Imagine that happening in a street fight on concrete

 

[Neck&Neck]

I always hated on him back in the day
But they should give Jouban a chance on commentary

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

True, we did deserve it. I love slam KOs, they are so awesome. The impact of them is totally different than a punch KO or kick KO etc etc, it just looks so devastating.

Getting ready for 7PM ET

 

[Neck&Neck]

Smith and Wellmaker are two young brothers to watch
Dare I say explosive

 

[rollthedice]

Nah, it happened before

Damn that's right, poor Matt got slammed, twirled and split on in a matter of seconds

 

[Axe720]

@BroRogan @GoldenAzazel upon further review, the move kind of looked like a spinebuster. Elevation reminded me of prime Batista, while the snap on the finish had shades of Arn Anderson.

 

[SKYNET]

Nah, it happened before

I'm going back a while but this one is still fresh in my mind
