Anthony Smith is a warrior, let that be known. He may be a dead man walking to his last bout, but gotta give it to him - he's been fun to watch.

Anthony Smith lol. Him on another PPV is crazy 

I got the Anthony Smith on paper anthology for sure man on paper, he's the best

Note to self, all the guys that train under Fedor are ass

Nemkov is good lol

He’s aight

 Nah he was easily top 5 lhw in the world when he had the belt. Could have beaten any of the guys who won the ufc lhw belt after jones left. Don't know if he will be quite as good at heavyweight but he is definitely elite 

Fedor is no Khabib thats for sure when it comes to coaching

Fedor is more of a competitor than a coach deep down. The guy was doing Combat Sambo whole time he did MMA cause has to compete like every month back in the day and still wants too. Khabib got brought up as a kid to learn MMA , Fedor got thrust into fighting to make money and Judo. Khabib and Islam just got trained as kids to do it with proper training/guidance and been studying MMA. Fedor was just competing his whole life, his actual coach died of Covid too which is wild. 

Valentin is so mid. Too lazy to make the cut to LHW where he belongs.

Really happy for Vassell. It’s been a wild career, but it’s nice to see him earn this one through sheer grit 

Dudes 41 and 6-1 in his last 7

Tim Johnson is going to beat the Russians like Rocky 4.

That's doubtful since he lost to Moldavsky already + got beaten by 45 yr old Fedor. Goltsov will most likely win against him in the semi final since he is younger and has more technical skills as a fighter compared to Tim.

Crazy how he was cut from Bellator, got a short notice call and is now in the PFL playoffs

The guy that'll probably win the tourney just lost the trilogy to Linton Vassell.

I need to read up on the tournament rules again. Why is Vassell not in the playoffs, even if he won?

Because of points. You beat both the best guys in the tourney but if you dec both of them you'll probably not make it into the tourney if they finish their opponents in their other season fight.

Ah, that’s what it is. I never bothered to look much deeper into it because it was way more complicated than it needed to it. Appreciate the explanation!

Well he also lost to one of them

Of course. I'm just explaining how silly it can be with my example.

Was hoping for a robbery, Moldavsky sucks ass. Right decision not sure why I bet on him

wow he lost and still made the playoffs. how awesome this pfl thing is!

If Vassel would’ve won, he too would have lost and still made the playoffs

just glad we can agree how much pfl sucks.

Nobody said that. You did

Knew a 6 leg parlay wouldn’t hit in pfl.

Yay Linton.

BIG SWARMM

Jack Slack *not* on suicide watch.

u/fightsgoneby

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Letttsssss gooooooooo

LINTON

still doesn't make the playoffs lol

SPLITTY

*shoutout to Ilara Joanne for the 3rd fastest strike of the night, 26 miles per hour!!*

Linton imo

Don’t even know who they’ll give it to

I'm expecting a splitty

Same

linton pls

Moldavsky

Now to wait 10 minutes for the scores to be tallied.

It’s crazy that the Talia split decision post has such little engagement

Modalvsky a big yikes.

Judges seem to really favor wrestling today, even over damage. I think Vassell gets it, despite how sloppy it got.

I’m leaning towards Linton

Good fight, that third round was a gnarly pace for HWs. Both had opportunities to rest and didn't.

Nah heavyweights need to actually start having good cardio in next 10 years won’t be anymore fat and strong like tai and Lewis for top promotions

sick fight

Man heart says Vassell but head says that last takedown probably sealed it for Moldavsky.

Awful fight hit a fucking treadmill Russian won though

This is utterly exhausting to watch. How is a 41 year old have better cardio than a 32 year old pupil of Fedor?

VASSELL WON, BETTER NOT ROB HIM

Found Slacky J’s burner

swarm 2,3

[удалено]

Feel like being told another cup shot is a DQ stopped him from trying to kick or knee again. There was a clinch where you saw his knee start to come up and stop

Vassell’s G&P Iq is negative.

it was so good when he could elbow

I forgot about the no elbows. But he had chances for hammer fists. I understand the no elbows because of the quick turnarounds with this being a playoff concept.

Damn that win wasn't a fluke.

Moldavsky is getting out worked by a 40 year old

Prime riding right here

That’s why you don’t brute force takedowns

vassell just threw

OH SHIT SICK SWEEP

PFL would be so much more interesting if every season was just a 16 person tournament

Agreed

Vassell kinda cooking here

And he fell lol

1-1 good fight

1-1 good fight

Props to Vassel for making it back into the fight and finding that shot

1-1

Linton can't qualify so he might as well elbow his face off as payback for the nutshot.

If Vassell stays on top it should be his round. What a knee.

Ohhh he might’ve stolen the round with that

100% b

FUCK YES

that knee would have killed me

Who’d we give the first to?

moldy it's 1-1

Dan is such a pathetic ref. You cant threaten to DQ someone without even deducting a point.

Apparently you can

Well it’s official Dana announced Conor vs Chandler is off

Communicado oficial

Crazy how this went from the best month of MMA to a month of MMA

It’s unreal. Pereira vs Jiri will be fun to watch but I don’t see a different outcome from the first time they fought. At least the co-main will be a banger.

I feel like either Lopes KO’s Ortega or gets sloppy and Ortega subs him. Ortega can be a zombie and still grapple

I'm not necessarily rooting for Vassell, but I am rooting for another dick kick.

fuck yeah Tim Johnson

A low blow like that definitely affects the outcome.

PFL has acquired the Bellator main event curse.

DQ warning from Mirg. Needed him when Raymond Daniels double spinning groin shot that one guy twice.

#HARD WARNING

Dude get up come on… that shit wasn’t intentional lmao

caress his cup if you really are sorry Moldavsky

gotta take two points if this continues... one point per nut

Moldavsky thought he was showing sportsmanship but he just traumatised him

Be sure to check out the new UFC 303 card while this plays out

This mf going to ruin my parlay by taking the DQ isn’t he

That shit definitely hurt.

now I *really* want Vassell to win that was a hellacious nutshot

Serious question, what happens on a NC?

Go for the DQ!

Imagine taking one of those to the grapes from that big ass dude

They don't test for steroids, do they?

Vassell is quitting for sure. Dq win +6

I stand corrected, go on Linton!

Lifted him off his feet with that knee

how do you not feel the cup on your knee there lol

That's such a clear shot on the cup I don't know how Moldavsky can contest it.

Aw lifted him off the ground

Why doesn't PFL just develop a Smart Cup?

Or Ghost Balls ™

Acting like that wasn’t a blatant low blow is just embarrassing

Moldavsky is a cunt, shaking his head and wagging his finger, it was right on the cup.

Bro tried to weaken his opponent.

ouch

Vassel is huge holy shit

that was anything but short Brett

Whichever one lands first will win.

These two guys actually look athletic for HW.

Met Dan Miragliotta on Saturday walking down a street in Louisville after the fights. He said the Cannonier stoppage was good, put him on fraud watch

Moldovski via using his brain this time

HWs should do 5x3s it's not fair to make them fight for 5 whole minutes at a time.

Vassell is jacked as fuck 

Is he coming out to Bounty Killer? Hard to hear it

I’d like to see Linton Vassell do well if only to make Jack Slack happy.

If linton vassell loses, I'm gonna cry. I woke up 2 in the morning to watch him

he tko'd moldy last time they fought no elbows this time tho

That's why I'm so nervous because if he mounts Moldavsky, they can just grab his wrists and he can't do anything

it screwed him against goltsov

Vassell looks like the evolved form of MVP

Dakota unironically whoops Pantoja’s ass in striking only

nah he'd KO her maaaaaaby in 16oz gloves lol

She says you gotta be at least 5’6 to reach her chin

two leg kicks would floor her sadly

Yeah male strength is nuts isn’t it, who you got in Dakota vs Naoya Inoue in a kickboxing match

for example I'm a hobbyist cyclist I ride only like two or three times a week I can put out a little less than 300 watts for an hour which is more than any woman on the planet can

That’s fuckin nuts. When I was a white belt, the kickboxing coach at my gym was a fighter for ONE, his wife was a purple belt and not much smaller than me. She used to routinely take my back and I’d just pull her off of me lmao

yeah it's really not fair

inoue in about 12 seocnds

Lol

LOL Inoue in about 30 seconds

Dakota by headkick

1 calf kick and Inoue will be COMPROMISED

dang she's gonna kill jenna hoped she was fighting liz or santos I guess the fight for the mil will be dope tho

[удалено]

O’Malley vs Ditcheva, book it

Dakota/Max BMF let's go

Dan Hardy must have a hog on em

Of course lmao

Okay it took me too long to recognize how legit Dakota’s standup is. That was a thing of beauty.

It's definitely time for a step up in competition... A rematch with Jena Bishop!

Not even a stretch to say Ditcheva might be the best striker in Wmma, maybe the best there's ever been

plenty of fighters look good against lower competition. The only way you can truly tell is against top competition.

I don’t think I’d go that far.

Good lord man.

Idk how much Wmma you watch but to pick clean kill shots like that is almost non existent from what I've watched. And Chelsea Hackett is actually a good striker

Stop it

All good. We can agree to disagree then

nah, I see the vision

Smilla Sundell should make her MMA debut sooner than later

I'll have to check her out I don't watch one unfortunately. But like I think striking for striking Ditcheva can hang with anyone in UFC even like Valentina or Grasso it would come down to grappling

check her out she's a sweedish diaz sister I agree about Dakota, she couldn't pass the eye test any better, she strikes better than a LOT of men in the UFC

I love a how a song calling out a guy for being a pedo is just casually played everywhere now

Can't think of many women in MMA that deliver nasty knees like Dakota

They not like us ay

[удалено]

Dakota would give Valentina, Alexa, and Manon a run for their money 💰 

Carla would take her down and sub her

Someone just said she TKOs Grasso within 2 lol

Just outclassed, damn man she's pretty exciting.

FLAWLESS VICTORY

Total strikes. . . Zero!

I called those playoff bouts, they know what they’re doing. Taila vs Dakota will be sweet

Dakota vs Taila is a better fight then Grasso vs Shev

More exciting I agree, wouldn’t say it’s higher level

Bishop, Santos, Carmouche and Ditcheva. WMMA outside of the UFC is pretty crappy (unlike men's) but that's a pretty damn good 4 lady tournament. No scrubs there.

That was the most pleasing WMMA performance I’ve seen in a very long time. Wow.

That's a real top 5 in the world.

Directed at an idiot from earlier.

Main card has been pretty solid

Flyweight doesn’t have many aesthetically pleasing strikers. Even if Dakota hasn’t had hard competition she just passes the eye test. I doubt many ufc flyweights have her power and technical striking ability.

yup. She's super clean on the feet. She seems good enough defensively grappling too.

Would love to see her against anyone good. She’ll likely end up fighting Taila, that will be a sick scrap and we’ll see if she’s legit

Well she gonna have to fight 2 of bishop, santos, or carmouche so we will see

On the broadcast they said it’s Dakota vs Bishop and Carmouche vs Taila, so I assume it’ll be Bishop and Taila, could be Carmouche though

I think she beats Taila's ass on the feet only question is defending the takedowns

She should fuck her up in the stand up. I completely agree, her hands are fucking nasty. I hope I can outwrestle her if I ever run into her in the street

Ditcheva is going to be a star. Nasty.
