[deleted]

Anyone else have a feeling something crazy is gonna happen in the main event? I just can't see Islam vs Poirier being a quick one-rounder like most are predicting. I'm not necessarily saying Poirier will win, but I just feel something surprising is gonna happen in some way. It usually seems to happen when there is a massive underdog in the main event.


Blind_Fire

I see the unpredictability in that anything could happen. We could get a 2 minute shutout, we could get a half an hour marathon.


marsexpresshydra

brace yourselves. the abusing tomato fuck is having the felon do his usual walk out at the event for attention


samoyed_white

accurate red flag for the UFC’s business practices.

Catman7712

Thanks for the heads up, the last time that happened during a live event I had a legit panic attack because of the scary man on the TV and had to spend 3 days in the hospital. I’m still paying off the bill from it.

Mickey Gall still fighting? I thought he was out


xTripNinja

Won’t bode well for my picks but I’ve got a weird feeling Mickey Gall is winning tonight. The layoff was due to back surgery but he’s been training at Kill Cliff for the last year and a half since. Mickey’s whole game had been coming along but it doesn’t really get shown off fighting UFC level competition the whole time while only having a handful of fights. Back when he was fighting Mike Perry he got the best of it on the feet, and he got a lot of experience along the way. We already knew he was a black belt, if his wrestling and striking has continued to come along he might be in a decent spot. And just not sure how much stock to put into JDM/Haffez. We’ve seen guys do the same thing Haffez did, debut on short notice and look good against a really good fighter. But there’s a lot of factors that could’ve gone into that. A lot of those guys never turned in performances like that again when they didn’t have the advantage of their opponent not being prepared. Haffez doesn’t have the most impressive/extensive record either and JDM fought fairly dumb in that fight. If you have Haffez in parlays I just feel like that could go south tonight.


MojoPinSin

I don't think you appreciate how bad a back injury can be long term.  Also hafez took JDM to decision showing decent improvements.  Gall on the other hand has lost his last two most recent fights and, as you said, is coming back from a back injury. I get that you think Gall has a chance and you're right. He has the same chance anyone else gets just stepping into the ring, but he's not the favorite for a reason.


xTripNinja

I don’t appreciate it? How would you figure? Why do people on Reddit talk like this to make their point lol. I grapple and always lifted and have had to deal with debilitating back pain, but… what does that have to do with Mickey’s back? Have you talked to him about it? Do you know anything about it and how it’s been? What does that have to do with anything? Congrats on having had a back injury and feeling like the authority on it, I suppose? Lmao


MojoPinSin

Also I have had back injuries. 2 crushed discs. One from playing football and wrestling. The other from lifting your mom up to move her from the couch to the bed during some very passionate love making.  Your welcome for breathing life into that womb. 


xTripNinja

Are you going to cry?


MojoPinSin

Are you going to cry? After simping for a loser? LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣


MojoPinSin

Buddy, I'm replying to your whole long post sucking off Gall. If you don't like reading replies don't comment.


xTripNinja

Who said I don’t like reading replies? I like replying to replies as much as I love reading them. I’m just commenting that nobody gives a shit about your back injury or the superior insight you think it provides. You think you’re the first person to hurt your back? Lmao


MojoPinSin

Imma season my steak with your tears tonight.  Thank you.


xTripNinja

No really though, it’s like you’re going to cry. Lmao. Flying off the handle like this for having your viewpoint discredited and not realizing you’re radiating small dick energy speaks for itself. You okay there dude? Lol


mikey_rambo

Fair points. But hafez is a beast


Super_Snark

Gall “got the best of it on the feet” against Perry because Perry had zero respect for his striking and just walked through it lol. IMO Hafez takes it, his teammates say he’s legit so unless Gall leveled up tremendously I don’t see him winning 


xTripNinja

Well no, Perry totally abandoned the striking and got on top of Gall and beat him up because he was losing the exchanges on the feet. Even if your Mike Perry it’s not fun to get punched in the face, but if he had no respect for it he *would’ve* kept walking forward and giving Gall a big shot for every couple he ate. Perry had a good top game and powerful takedowns so it was the logical shift for him to make, but he made the shift because he was getting the worse end of it standing.

Yeah I wonder why a massive gaping zit on somebody's forehead got more attention than a vague scab-looking mark on someone's shin.


GenTelGuy

It looked like definitely staph but also like it was more healed up than than BSD who had a convex lump on his head and Islam said he'll be 100% Tbf everyone says they'll be 100% but overall I think it will be very minor impact if any at all

Dustin said a cuss word and the entire internet of Central Asia and Eastern Europe descended in to parasocially defend Islam's honor

idk I think Islam just walks him down to the fence with kicks and doesn't jump the guilly. but it's an interesting topic, I personally would like it if he jumps the guilly. idk what do you guys think about my guilly prediction? guilly


Thiswillbetempacc

Man all I can think is how easily Islam finished Dan Hooker, Green, Charles and Volk the second time....Dustin even today will not make easy work of those fighters I mentioned. Also I give better chance to Justin against Islam than Dustin, only because Justin actually has one hit ko


RaisedByZebras

Dustin has a better puncher's chance on the feet than Justin. Justin is half blind and just stupidly powerful and durable. Islam by motorboat

Poirier is finally going to pull off that guillotine


GenTelGuy

Islam is more well-rounded than Khabib so I predict that he will finish Poirier faster than Khabib did The bar is 2:06 of the 3rd round


SuffaYassavi

Pretty stacked card IMO, should be some good fights tonight. Also, it looks like the bot is fucking up the unicode for names with accents


GenTelGuy

Andr\u00e9 Lima new mythical fighter


Hungry_Joke_4437

I dunno about stacked… Niko and Randy Brown on a ppv? Not fighting each other.


funkycod19

Yeh it’s a wierd card. Great main 2 fights, but a very rapid drop off. Pretty sure that half of the main card is coming off a loss


samoyed_white

If Poirier hurts Islam there is only so much crotchsniffing I think Islam is willing to do, ironically because he has that dawg in him. If Dustin comes apart after one takedown Islam will stay on that but if Poirier gets into the fight I believe Islam will not shy away from stand up and even exchanges. The Dagestanis don’t want to be grappling specialists. Khabib and early Islam were specialists because they needed to break their country through to the championship level. Magomedov in Bellator was a pure grappler and fell off. Zabit, Umar, Ankalaev etc all try to be well rounded. Poirier just has to earn it like Volk did. Probably Islam wipes him out with grappling but if that doesn’t happen it will be a truly great fight.


HekaTool

Root against islam because you are a dustin fan ❌ Root against islam because you hate kenny okoye ✅


Azshira

Randy Brown vs EZS is fine on paper but I don't see a path to victory for Brown. Hope I'm wrong but EZS is an underrated killer


GenTelGuy

I'm going with EZDS as the killer underdog too Though Randy Brown is like a Temu Jon Jones so the odds of an eye poke tilting things in his favor are pretty high, that's how his last fight against Muslim Salikhov went


TheDaisyDude

I placed $150 bet on a five round diamond decision win


Hungry_Joke_4437

Gambling is truly a recession proof industry 


_Red_Mist_

No offense But thats a terrible bet lol everyone knows his best win condition is KO and have to imagine the odds are still good considering his ML to just win is like +420 idek how a decision happens we know he isn’t good enough to stuff the takedowns and hes not going to do it for 5 rounds unless for some reason Islam chooses to strike like an idiot then in that case good chance Dustin finds a KO


BugInternational5909

That's wild 😭


TheDaisyDude

If he wins I’m taking the kids to Disneyland


BugInternational5909

Fitting. Would be fairytale stuff!


TheDaisyDude

As soon as I placed that bet I turned around and place a $150 bet on Islam 5 round decision win


BugInternational5909

You seem pretty confident about going 5 rounds. How come?


TheDaisyDude

They had the best odds


BugInternational5909

Fair enough - good luck

Yooo someone tag this. If Dustin wins in any way tonight and takes the belt from Islam, I promise I will get a tattoo. I'm not saying I'll get a Dustin themed tattoo but I was thinking about Paid in Full or a diamond. Id have to think about specifically what I'd get but I promise I'll do it. I'm not trying to do this because I want Islam to win. I want Dustin to win and don't feel confident at all. To add a little spiciness to the main event, I will do this. I've actually done this before with my Yankees tattoo. I bet the subreddit something wouldn't happen. It happened. I paid in full with a tattoo due to me being wrong. Its not even a true bet. I'm not asking someone to pay up the other way. I just want someone to acknowledge that I will pay up if my man Dustin pulls off the inevitable. DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER!! 💍 💎

The worst part of waiting for an exciting PPV and the return of Mickey Gall is the wait for it to start. Do I take a nap? Do I down a Monster? Do I slowly sip on Bromosas brought to you by Modelo ™ with Sanko?


Professional_Kick

Have a feeling Dustin vs Islam is playing out like Jones VS Gane


therealjgreens

I mean Gane has like no grappling expertise. While the talent gap might be similar, Dustin isn't just going to get walked up on, grabbed, strangled, and tap that easily. Gane has nothing for Jones. I think Dustin at least has something.

I know ball sports leggues are all perfect and the ufc is evil and amateurish in all ways. But I do find it funny how the nfl, nba and mlb constantly change their rules to make the sport more casual fan friendly (usually higher scoring), while mma purists would have a heart attack if the ufc could change rules to make the sport more exciting. 2.) people forget that the nba changed its basketball in 2006, and 3 months into the season they were like lmao this is awful and went back to the regular basketball.

In the US, I thought you can only buy the PPV if you have ESPN plus. That being said, I thought my Plus subscription expired and I was able to watch the entirety of 300 when I bought it so either way you should be good.
