PBP UFC Paris: Imavov vs. Borralho Official PBP Discussion: Sat 9/6 at 12pm ET

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Lots of finishes on this card

 

[Ares Black]

Sean already beat him, I know if crazy but SEan has a crazy resume. (I think it was also on short notice, weird. )

Lol I completely forgot about that. Yeah it was short notice at LHW.

I still think Imavov wins a rematch.

 

[podsox]

so of lopes wins next weekend… how fast do the nerds disappear

well, just for information, Imavov said in the interview after the fight that something gave way in his foot, more precisely under his foot, a tendon perhaps at the beginning of the fight, and that he really felt a lot of pain. so, he's happy with his performance even if he woulfd have liked to finish him.

Nah, Strickland is a bad stylistic matchup for Imavov. He had really bad luck to get Sean in a short notice fight, I think he would’ve already fought for a title if that didn’t happen

Alright good card, time to go to CVS to get my seventh mRNA covid vaccine

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Just wanna say the crowd was amazing, so much energy and buzz, awesome crowd. You see how crap that would have been in the empty UFC Apex, it would have been a yet another decisionfest, the fighters just ain't got the urgency in UFC Apex, there is a big lack of urgency and so much point fighting. The fans and having real humans there make it important and bring that urgency, its totally flat without the fans and they will coast

10/10 crowd, it came through amazing on TV, I'd imagine how awesome it would be there

Idk but I just went and dropped a bet on Lopes at +250 after what I just saw. Fuck it.

I noticed it after the first low blow. He had a weird limp and was trying to stretch out his leg.

I've read the Fighting Nerds themselves say Prates is the best in that camp.

 

[maximus__]

The real question is... could Imavov actually beat Sean Strickland?

The style-dynamic is still pretty much identical.

They already fought. Imavov got wrecked...

That was an actual 50-45/ 49-46 type fight.

Evidently second time is easier with Sean so you are probably right. lol, that is right Sean is still in the division which is now completely different from when he fought Coasta.

Sean looks to have regressed or lost spirit after the split decision first fight with DDP and already being a champion.

 

[Da Speeit]

You've actually lost your right to an opinion tbh

Fucking Drumpf

Lol, its weird and I agree. I would be surprised if he fights again in the UFC, I bet he would do well in the PFL. Actually without take downs and gloves, bare knuckle might be really easy for him.

His kicks really help out his striking. But BKFC level isn't exactly elite he'd probably still do very well.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Guess i missed the whole card, but sounds like it was a boring pre written score card, French people suck, and Brazil too, can't wait for the Australian card.

 

[vinnie245]

Great card with a ton of finishes, main event could of been better and it was missing a true barnburner but still one of the best cards of the year - 8/10.

This is absolutely true! There's a reason Apex cards feel like aggressive sparring sessions.
