Thanks to everyone who participated tonight. Special thanks to @ya_dong for picking up my slack.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In future I want to get the thread up a day earlier so we can get predictions in and see how everyone's picks play out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

That’s a good idea. Let’s give it a shot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Strong first round for Rakic.

Edit: Didn’t matter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Fuck yeah, I am so glad the BMF didn't get decided by the judges

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Justin and Max deserve the 300k for fight of the night, unless there is something crazy left to come

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Everyone lower in the card simultaneously shed a tear. Max is a lock for at least $300k.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I feel like I might need to be on the receiving end of some ground and pound. Everytime I see the ref stop it im like bro he was fine let the fight go on. Based on the moicano and Lopez fights

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Holy fuck no way. Max with the ko 100% just earned himself 300k

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I thought Max was in trouble when he took this fight, but I was wrong. What a savage!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same before the fight I just said "I'm rooting for max to survive I don't want to see his career ended". I was so wrong max stock through the roof

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Now I wanna see him do whatever the hell he wants. Aside from the lack of low kick defense, he looks like he could give anyone at lightweight and featherweight a tough fight.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Diego Lopez is the real deal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

He’s so exciting and dynamic. I think we’ll see him fighting for a title before long.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

He's my new Erick Silva.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Damn, gotta put some respect on Alex's name if you haven't already

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah, Jiri had me worried. He is a goddam tank.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Hands down and legs open for kicks. I thought he was on his way to a loss too. Nice turn around and finish by Jiri!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ilia looked shook after the finish. Probably just in shock like the rest of us.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He looked genuinely nervous to have been called out by Max

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Can’t blame him after that performance. Max was fighting a great fight up to and including the finish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Game on! I wouldn’t be mad about a Brundage upset.

Edit: Nope. Brundage made it beyond the first round at least.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Max looks great. Hopefully he starts checking those low kicks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Max is looking so fast and so sharp. Justin can't get his hands on him. If this was anyone in Max's division they would be out cold.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That weird thumbs up chest tattoo on Hill is something special. It’s right up there with Brock’s feather knife and Alan Belcher’s mutant Johnny Cash.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It's like the early Facebook like icon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Lmao salty man Jamal hill knocked thr fuck out round 1. You fucking idiot you deserved that for trying to strike with a two division k1 champion who has slept every ufc fighter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Why make a BMF belt when Anik can’t even say “motherfucker” on air?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Round 2 had me thinking it was the blind motherfucker belt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No doubt. The UFC gloves are a real problem. I can’t think of any reason to not switch to a new design after countless eye pokes over the years.

A bit late but I didnt see one up. Pretty good early prelims so far.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks for putting this up! I was slackin. 300 is off to a strong start.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Kayla arms are like SpongeBob's when he inflates them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Harrison vs. Holm went about as expected. Pennington is probably nervous after seeing that performance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just realized the title of this thread says UFC 290. Good enough for government work!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

yeah I just noticed as well. I guess you now where where I copy pasted the title from

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Hey there’s activity here, so it works! Also Aljo vs Kattar sucked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

AYY kbin federation issues seem to be resolved and im getting these posts quick as fuck. Sick card so far. Shine bright Jiri you Autistic Samurai.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Good decision. I thought Tsarukyan was out for a second with that d’acre attempt, but he gutted it out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I thought he was out at the end because he sort of flopped at one point but turns out he was chilling waiting for the bell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Alex made it look easy. What a card! UFC 300 lived up to the hype and then some.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

50 fucking comments bro what a sick card. im buzzing off that Holloway finish. My friend who has no idea about MMA just texted me that he bet $10 on holloway and won $85. Zhang stomped her fight and I really dont see anyone beating her anytime soon that craig jones training paying dividends.

The main event knockout from Alex was fucked. He slept him round one with no prior damange, no wind up. This guy is actually playing with cheatcodes. He has the magic touch if he touches your chin its over. Cant wait to see Jamal hill bitch and moan about that stoppage on his yt channel

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god Max is a fucking beast. Please stay at 155.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Seriously. This version of Max looks like a worldbeater

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Holloway calling for 600k buddy it was hard enough to pry 300k from Dana you ain't getting 600.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Maybe UFC brass will go the One FC route and give all the finishers a bonus in addition to fight of the night. Doubt it though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

These last two fights are bangers, but I feel like I’ve already seen the main event after the max and Justin fight.

Edit: clarification

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Herzog is one of the good ones. However, I don’t understand how he didn’t call the fight at the end of the first round.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah Yan was 100% out, IMO. She was floppy and literally convulsing as she was stood up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

She got smacked on the side of the head for 30+ seconds in round two also. Hope Weili can pull it out.
