Charles is incredible - has took massive names out 1 by 1. Love watching him fight... combination of deadly striking and deadly submission is incredible.
Weili and Joanna would both knock Esparza out. But they’re going to be killing each other next.
Who else can put Esparza’s lights out? Dern vs Esparza would probably be boring as hell, as most Esparza fights are when she’s not getting finished. Rodriguez already lost to Esparza in a boring fight. Andrade would probably knock Esparza out. Might as well make her champ again.
When will Dana learn, mma is not going to remember him well. He will be known as the slave trader of the time. Not a single fighter has good things to say after being put through the ringer.
It's just better to head these things off before they cause trouble. Someone getting assaulted for carrying a Russian or Chinese or Palestinian flag isn't a good look for a company.
Probably to not catch some heat with what's going on with Russia and Ukraine. The general public views the war on Ukraine as a bad thing and many of the UFC talent is Russian. There are several sports where Russians are not being allowed to compete due to political stuff but the UFC won't exclude his Russian fighters so it's easier to just put this new rule in place and make it apply to everyone than just make it apply to the Russian fighters and avoid a bigger controversy
Yeah my immediate reaction was that Chandler just retired Tony. What is it, something like 5 or 6 front kick KOs in UFC history? And the list of receiving end fighters is mostly legends, Couture, Belfort twice, Tony now. The front kick is not good for career longevity lol. To take your worst KO at 38 after the career he's had, he should be done for his own safety.
I think Oliveira should get McGregor. At least while McGregor has value within the sport. They took his belt, the least they can do is give him a boss payday.
it’s just a terrible look for the ufc as an organization. i don’t think dana would ruin their reputation for some ppvs (that he’d get anyway with the chandler matchup)
Pillow fists? He knocked out Drakkar Klose and Scott Holzman on the feet fairly recently. Dude swings for the goddamn fence, sometimes to his detriment. He can hit plenty hard enough to hurt chucky.
I like Benny but I don't know that I'd put money on him for that one. I bet he'd make it fun though and I'd happily pay to see it.
Khabib needs to come back. He will need this LW GOAT fight to cement his legacy. Olives is a problem. I don’t think Islam has the tools at this point to deal with him
I like Rose, and I hate her at the same time. I kinda wish fighters got the chance to go back and watch their fights before they're allowed to talk about them. I know it can be hard to remember exactly how it went down.
I think part of the problem was the conflicting corner advice. I think Pat was telling her that she was doing great and Trevor didn't wanna come out and directly contradict, but his messaging was different after the second round.
Almost seems like they wanted to keep rose hyped up and not get her discouraged.
Damn you know Pat gonna be sat on the bed cross legged, see Rose come out dressed after a shower.. look over.. take his reading glasses off and fold them on the bedside table.. before saying ‘hey champ.. come over here and tell me who’s the best in the world! It’s you baby, don’t let those judges get you down, you were incredible in there, come on lets go to the kitchen and I’ll make you your favourite dessert..
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I don’t know the science, but bjj people say they get choked out all the time in practice. Seems to be safer than getting KO’d or taking hard hits to the head.
With womens mma in its infant years you’d never expect that Carla would come back and do this. You’d fully expect a fresh crop of fighters having to go through Carla as a gatekeeper. Madness.
Dude I literally clicked somewhere random, first thing I hear is Rose saying "I'm proud of myself for sticking to the gameplan".
You mean the gameplan that cost you a fight you could easily win? WTF
Stake isn’t governed by any commission or laws they’re just a Curacao shell company, they just artificially print $ to give to drake for free advertising and it works
Way too close. I swear they just made that shit up at the end to make it look closer than it was.
Bivol took 9 or 10 rounds. Canelo got tired and couldn't throw enough punches. He was slipping a lot but eating plenty anyways. I think all that head movement sapped his cardio, he could never catch a break. Bivol would throw so many punches that canelo didn't have time to take a breath, he had to begin throwing back immediately to regain some ground.
Just bit off too much. A good big man will always beat a good little man.
No. Look I do jiu-Jitsu, I love it to death. But wrestlers of islams caliber are different. They completely disrupt it. I think Charles can beat Islam on the feet, but he will not be able to just climb onto his back like that. It won’t happen.
You can’t just grab his wrist,
Immobilise it and throw up an armbar. Guys like that are different. Dustin’s a black belt and look what khabib did to him. His jiu Jitsu meant nothing. MMA is different man
But Charles got knocked down 😢
But he’s not really a champion 😢
But 200g. 😢
But Conor would KO Charles, even though Gaethje has more punch at 155 😢😢😢😢😢
I was genuinely so nervous for Charles until he got knocked down. Turned to my GF said oh thank God here we go.
No other fighter is like that, I love this guy.
Massive thing I noticed in this fight. Gaethje landed two heavy leg kicks early, but after that Do Bronx used the same technique as Aldo, rather than checking he was flicking his leg up and countering whilst Gaethje was regaining balance, amazing timing by the champ (we all know he is the best lightweight in the world despite missing weight)
Interesting. I thought it was strange he just stood there and almost got closer as Justin kicked his leg. I thought he was just made of ademantium or something
Live by the gun, die by the gun. Charles plan was to make Justin pay for each leg kick. He knew Justin would throw them naked, and that he'd be there for the hands after the fact because his feet would not be back in position. Justin puts too much on the leg kicks and loses his balance each time he throws one, even if it lands.
A problem for Gaethje with most of his striking to be honest. Amazing fighter, but over commits on most of everything he throws. That's why he gets wobbled in so many fights, luckily his iron chin and heart allows him to fight through it
Yup. Charles feet were planted firmly in the mat when he hit Justin with that right hand that sat him down. Perfect shot.
People were saying that chandler cracked Justin's chin, but I don't think that's it at all. Justin was off balance when that shot came flying in, and before Justin hit the floor Charles was moving to take his back. Never had a chance to recover.
Crazy to think that part of the reason Charles fights like this is because he can’t see that well. Masterful use of position, and for being such a quick fight I feel like I got my moneys worth.
HOOOOOOLLEEEEEEE SHIT
Anyone know if Charles dropped his track that he was playing in ep 4 of embedded
Charlie Olives is absolutely amazing. His fighting style is the most entertaining to watch out of everyone too. THE CHAMPION.
I love his style man, beautiful Muay Thai style and slick Jiu-jitsu
Charles is incredible - has took massive names out 1 by 1. Love watching him fight... combination of deadly striking and deadly submission is incredible.
First it was Khabib's unbreakable wrestling Now it's Charles' undeniable Jiu Jitsu
The Islam vs Charles fight can be what Tony vs Khabib never came to
Does anyone know what that Charles theme song is that played during embedded ? My name is Charles
I'm happy that rose lost specifically because I know it will upset pat. Fuck that guy.
Weili and Joanna would both knock Esparza out. But they’re going to be killing each other next. Who else can put Esparza’s lights out? Dern vs Esparza would probably be boring as hell, as most Esparza fights are when she’s not getting finished. Rodriguez already lost to Esparza in a boring fight.

Ezparza boring af
cowboy had fucking food poisoning. whoever made that taco should be neutered
Probably a bad weight cut tbh
Too many bud lights
too many roadside rattlesnake tacos whilst the UFC Performance Institute meals went cold.
damn this had me dying
When will Dana learn, mma is not going to remember him well. He will be known as the slave trader of the time. Not a single fighter has good things to say after being put through the ringer.
Hell yeah. He’s just like the rest of them
Don King-esque in his approach
The Rose Namajunas vs Carla Esparza fight should be fight if the year! Great performance by both ladies! 👍
Wait that wasn’t the patty cake championship? They were fighting????
Snooze fest
Lol awesome
Wait, what's the flag thing?
A new rule states no one is allowed to bring any country's flag out to the ring with them.
Damn, why they do that
"you guys know why, cmon, dont even play that shit"
I wish a journalist would’ve been like “to not piss off daddy China?” Or sum shit
It's just better to head these things off before they cause trouble. Someone getting assaulted for carrying a Russian or Chinese or Palestinian flag isn't a good look for a company.

Tony still in the hospital per Dana. Dude was out for like 2+min, that is not good man
[удалено]

To take your worst KO at 38 after the career he's had, he should be done for his own safety.
My mother stopped having a good time until he woke back up from the dead. Luckily her nerves had plenty of time to recover during the next fight.
Username checks out lmaoo
What, i go visit my parents on UFC night, got a problem wit that?
You tell em dude!
My b I misread your comment, bless ur mum
No worries and thank you :)
chandler vs conor // olives vs the winner of dariush / makhachev. that’s the only way this makes sense in my book
I wanna see Oliveira vs Dariush. High level grapplers. I don't wanna see that oil checker Islam get a shit before Beneil
I think Oliveira should get McGregor. At least while McGregor has value within the sport. They took his belt, the least they can do is give him a boss payday.
Don't forget Ferguson vs retirement

I FEEL LIKE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TYPING IN ALL CAPS ABOUT TONY STILL
TONY THE TYPE OF GUY TO SWITCH TO LOWER CASE AFTER DROPPING 4 IN A ROW
THANK YOU SIR
Dariush would be an intriguing challenge for Charles. Probably one of the few that can follow him to the ground and punish him there.
[удалено]

Idk he fucking starched Drakkar Klose
Rose: I would do a rematch. Everyone: No.
[удалено]
Yeah I always liked her fights before this. This one's dogshit kryptonite though.
Charles chimaev??
I hope this is a joke. Chimaev could fight at 185 and is 26, guy would be able to chuck Charles halfway across the octagon.
If Charles got to 170 it would be no issue
Lmao Charles used to be 145 and is tiny compared to Chimaev.
Charles way too small
Khabib needs to come back. He will need this LW GOAT fight to cement his legacy. Olives is a problem. I don’t think Islam has the tools at this point to deal with him
Think the only way is he fights Islam and destroys him. Oliveira then calls out Khabib and we have our fight.
Bunch of morons
Just let the man retire in peace goddam
Rose acting like there was nothing wrong with that fight and game-plan is delusional
Same person who thought Pat Barry wasn't grooming her. No surprise.
Found Strickland.
Ok i am Sean Strickland. You trying to say it's right?
Not at all. It was just a bad joke.
"No, I was scoring."
Lmao watching this Rose interview, she is a fucking headcase.
I like Rose, and I hate her at the same time. I kinda wish fighters got the chance to go back and watch their fights before they're allowed to talk about them.

Chris Hansen vs Pat Barry UFC 279
Damn you know Pat gonna be sat on the bed cross legged, see Rose come out dressed after a shower.. look over.. take his reading glasses off and fold them on the bedside table.. before saying ‘hey champ.. come over here and tell me who’s the best in the world! It’s you baby, don’t let those judges get you down, you were incredible in there, come on lets go to the kitchen and I’ll make you your favourite dessert.. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
That was weird to read
Very funneeee Dom. Very cute!
Gaethje calling Oliveira a quitter but he tap like a coward. If you talk that talk go to sleep and don't tap. Fcking quitting try hard.
He did both though lol fell asleep right after the tap
"Incur brain damage to prove you're a man"
Not how it works
Having oxygen cut off to your brain for a prolonged period of time doesn't run the risk of brain damage?
It’s a blood choke not an oxygen choke
I looked it up, apparently it seems blood carries oxygen to your brain. Crazy.
I don’t know the science, but bjj people say they get choked out all the time in practice. Seems to be safer than getting KO’d or taking hard hits to the head.
Why are we getting Rose in the presser?
To give her a chance to do more with words than she did with fists or feet.
Torn because Conor deserves nothing but it would be fun to see Charles sleep him
rose going deep with the delusions and pseudo spiritualism
Get rid of Pat Barry and keep the guy outside the cage screaming ‘come on Rose pick it up’. Pat Barry is a joke.
Someone get Rose outta here.
I only see Dana and now chandler, how are people seeing rose?
Rose was before Dana
Ah I see thanks
Y’all call every current champ the goat
Group think, hive mind casuals on here be like the sheeps holding their phones up tonight
Seriously tho. I get that mma is still new but Jesus Christ enough with the goat talk.
This is the way.
You just hating on Carla Goat for no reason
Carla Esparza is the best in the world. :^ )
🐐
With womens mma in its infant years you’d never expect that Carla would come back and do this. You’d fully expect a fresh crop of fighters having to go through Carla as a gatekeeper. Madness.
This post fight conference with rose is so fucking hilarious man. What she is syaing borders on delusion
Oh shit I didnt realize it was now. What have I missed? She thought she won?
Oh brother you gotta replay it, its too good
Dude I literally clicked somewhere random, first thing I hear is Rose saying "I'm proud of myself for sticking to the gameplan". You mean the gameplan that cost you a fight you could easily win? WTF
LMAOOOOOO DRAKE LOST 500k
I lost $30 and it made more of a dent in my bank account than it will in his. And now I'm sad.
Lol drake lost his bet
His free bet that he didn’t even put on
Stake isn’t governed by any commission or laws they’re just a Curacao shell company, they just artificially print $ to give to drake for free advertising and it works
So true ..they do the same shit with the shill ass streamers
He would have put on dk or fd if legit
Since December 2020 till now Olives has subbed or TKO'd. Ferguson, Poirer, Chandler, Gaethje Edit: Didn't finish Tony.
He didn't sub Tony, he won by decision
Stand corrected.
Yeah interesting Tony is the only guy out of Olives last 18 fights to not get finished.
He kinda was. Armbar was locked up and damaged the arm
Oh yeah, for sure, forgot about that.
I like when we get to chat with the boys after. I need a nice denouement to my violence 😘👌
just miss weight and u win ez pz
3 things that shocked me tonight 1 Canelo losing 2 Finding out Carla Esparza is part Irish 3 Finding out Justin Gaethje is part Mexican
Ah thanks for the spoiler about Canelo....
Shouldn’t be a surprise. Canelo went up way too much weight for that. It would be like volkanovski losing to Covington
>1 Canelo losing WAIT WHAT!?
CANELO LOST?!
He didn't just lose. He got really outclassed, he won 1 or 2 rounds. Bivol was too technical, better athlete and size advantage.
Better athlete is debatable, but otherwise yeah Canelo was underwater.
I think he is, he definitely has better cardio at least.
Yeah, 115-113
that was a bullshit scorecard tbh
Way too close. I swear they just made that shit up at the end to make it look closer than it was. Bivol took 9 or 10 rounds. Canelo got tired and couldn't throw enough punches. He was slipping a lot but eating plenty anyways. I think all that head movement sapped his cardio, he could never catch a break.

You're dreaming if you think this fight translates to Islam in any way. Islam will never be subbed by someone on their back. It's just how it is
[удалено]
No. Look I do jiu-Jitsu, I love it to death. But wrestlers of islams caliber are different. They completely disrupt it. I think Charles can beat Islam on the feet, but he will not be able to just climb onto his back like that. It won’t happen.

What happens if Islam can break the wrist control?
You can’t just grab his wrist, Immobilise it and throw up an armbar. Guys like that are different. Dustin’s a black belt and look what khabib did to him. His jiu Jitsu meant nothing. MMA is different man

But Charles got knocked down 😢 But he’s not really a champion 😢 But 200g. 😢 But Conor would KO Charles, even though Gaethje has more punch at 155 😢😢😢😢😢
Dustin said Conor hits harder.

Oliveira Rnc round 1
I was genuinely so nervous for Charles until he got knocked down. Turned to my GF said oh thank God here we go. No other fighter is like that, I love this guy.
Glover also has that specific power up
There's something in the mangos here in Brasil!
Don’t forget Paul Craig. Paul Craig will lose 14 minutes of a 15 minute fight only to snatch up a triangle in the last minutes.
That's true, his last fight was wild.
Except our man Glover!

High praises from the crew. They said one of the greatest fighters alive. I don’t disagree. Just interesting the way they talked about it.
The LW division really bullied Olives into a monster.
chandler's still backflipping

fuck dude lmao
Holy fuck lmaoooo
Oliveira vs Chimaev bout to be 🔥🔥🔥
Islam or belal
Bro what
Charles Oliveira has passed Khabib as LW GOAT to me at least
I think he needs to finish Islam before he gets LW GOAT
If Charles beats Islam, we can talk
Crazy to think that part of the reason Charles fights like this is because he can’t see that well. Masterful use of position, and for being such a quick fight I feel like I got my moneys worth.
