Watching Khabib vs Tibau for the first time

Sanchez vs Pearson

Round 1

Hey remember when Diego briefly changed his nickname to "The Dream"? Lol. He also has a Chuck Liddell mohawk.

Crowd is loudly booing Pearson and cheering Sanchez.

Pearson landing lots of body shots. Staggered Sanchez with a counter.

Sanchez landed a spinning kick and flurries at the end, but the first round is all Pearson. 10-9 clear as day.
This is an easy 30-27 Pearson, and one judge didn't give him a single round, lunacy.
 
You know that meldonium is the most popular PED in Russia? lol
I didn't know that, but either way, the explanation for popping made sense. Sorry it's not in my head anymore man.
@Ackmed what was the explanation given by Makhachev for his positive test on meldonium?
 
Round 2

Sanchez is getting badly outstruck. Headkick lands clean for Pearson.

Sanchez is kicking a lot but not landing anything significant. Pearson knocks him down with a huge right. Diego is showboating but hurt. Pearson gets a quick takedown.

Sanchez lands a decent punch and flurries at the end.

10-9 Pearson, again clear as day.

20-18 is the only acceptable score.

He got caught cheating dude. Just take a look at the list of guys popping for meldonium in all sports. The list is full of Russians haha
 
Lmao a Russian taking meladonium swept under the rug... Fuck off USADA.

PED cheat confirmed

"USADA ultimately ruled that Makhachev's testing failure stemmed from a "radiofrequency ablation procedure for frequent ventricular arrhythmia" the fighter underwent in Dec. 2014. As part of a follow-up treatment plan, Makhachev's physician recommended the fighter take meldonium "as a preventive measure against a potential relapse" in Nov. 2015. Makhachev then took meldonium for four weeks but stopped his use prior to Jan. 1 2016, the date meldonium was added to the WADA banned substance list."

"After a thorough review of the case, USADA concluded that the extremely low meldonium concentration in the athlete's urine sample, combined with the athlete's explanation of use, was consistent with ingestion prior to the substance being officially prohibited on January 1, 2016," the organization announced in a statement.

I've watched this fight a couple times, and I always gave it to Khabib 29-28. It was a relatively close fight.

So basically...

Round 3

Pearson calm and methodical, Sanchez wild and aggressive. Pearson landing body shots. Sanchez landing fuck all.

Sanchez keeps throwing spinning kicks and paying for it. Eating counters.

Sanchez is bleeding. Pearson lands a huge body kick, Sanchez is visibly hurt.
They both flurry at the end, but third round is another clear 10-9 Pearson.

30-27 Pearson is the only reasonable score. The judges that scored it for Sanchez should be arrested.

Probably the worst decision in MMA history. An absolute robbery of historic proportions.

@Hellowhosthat
 
He was cleared.

You're spending a pathetic amount of time trolling lately.

He's not a troll, he has a deep hatred and bitterness for Khabib and anyone to do with him.

Funny how is avatar didn't get resigned to UFC tho and is a reject in Bellendtor.
 
You know you're a fanboi when you give a draw to one guy.
It's a 10 point must system.

Definitely not a Khabib fanboy, in fact quite the opposite. I thought he was overrated until quite recently.

Nope. I cheered and was happy for Usman last night
