If Cowboy wins, PLEASE HAVE COWBOY/CONOR BE NEXT

Do want.

We'll see what happens. Rootin' for Cowboy tonight.

 

[shwimpy]

rest of the card not even worth a mention?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

If Cowboy wins, PLEASE HAVE COWBOY/CONOR BE NEXT

FOOL!!!, the Jets are gonna win tonight

 

[mreddie]

rest of the card not even worth a mention?

Just to see Diaz again I guess.

 

[hwalker84]

Sitting in a suite tonight. Feels good to be me .

 

[Lightning Count]

Updated OP with main card and prelims.

 

[v1lla21]

Hoping Diaz loses.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Come on Cowboy, pull the upset.

Hoping to see UberOvereem smash JDS just for reactions lol but I know JDS will probably smash Overeem's head in.

Nice to see Nate Diaz back. The layoff won't be pretty for him tbh.

 

[Dysun]

curious to see if RDA curb stomps Cerrone or if theres something to that USADA RDA

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

I'm curious to see what Karolina Kowalkiewicz has tonight

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I hope Overeem vs JDS won't be a slough, but I doubt it

 

[ldcommando]

Good card
Rooting for cowboy

Also Dos santos and Johnson

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Should be some good, old school, no employable skills scraps tonight.

 

[parrotbeak]

What song is Ngannou walking out to?

 

[oneils]

Oops I missed the early prelims. I wanted to see those as some of those fighters were from last season's tuf. I'll have to catch them later.

Hopefully Miller will be able to fight.

Edit. Crappy, hopefully he is ok.

 

[dream]

Goddamn, Cole Miller is an unbelievable coward. Just an unbelievable act of cowardice.

 

[parrotbeak]

I just turned it on and i think it's the first early prelim.

 

[Lightning Count]

Goddamn, Cole Miller is an unbelievable coward. Just an unbelievable act of cowardice.

Shut your mouth, you don't have the guts to do what these fighters do, they have to watch out for their health.

I know you've been having a rough day, but that aggressive tone is uncalled for, Lightning Count.

Calling a professional fighter a coward is uncalled for.

The first regular prelim or undercard event. The early prelims or fight pass prelims were on at 3pm est, I think.

Uh, wat - the guy is a coward for not wanting to fight with one eye? C'mon.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Calling a professional fighter a coward is uncalled for.

Nah. It really isn't.

 

[parrotbeak]

I just hope Cole already saw TFA.

 

[dream]

Calling a professional fighter a coward is uncalled for.

Absolutely untrue. Brian Bowles relinquishing his title by quitting on the stool because his hand hurt was cowardly. Renzo Gracie pretending to be concussed to get out of his fight with Frank Shamrock was cowardly. Cole Miller not even taking the 5 minutes to see if his eye would get better because he obviously didn't really want to fight was cowardly.

 

[Lightning Count]

Nah. It really isn't.

When there is a risk of retina detachment, you don't go shitting on a fighter. That can end careers.

I didn't think it looked obvious. Looked to me like he just couldn't open his eye.

 

[Ikuu]

The first regular prelim or undercard event. The early prelims or fight pass prelims were on at 3pm est, I think.

You got two of them for a reason.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

There was no increased risk for retina detachment by not waiting the full amount of time the ref and doctor was prepared to give him so they could check it out further.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Yeah. Guy can't see, nothing else to it.

Are you new to the sport?

 

[Lightning Count]

You got two of them for a reason.

Would you rather he continue and risk damaging his eye further?

No fight fan wants that.

 

[parrotbeak]

Hmm, I'm on Fight Pass. I just saw Gannou take a guy's face off. Is this live?

 

[HuskyPanda]

OP, you think Dos Santos and Overeem will go the distance?

 

[oneils]

You got two of them for a reason.

If you can't see out of an eye, the doctor stops the fight.

 

[scabro]

No fight fan wants that.

fitting for human cockfighting, imo

 

[Lightning Count]

OP, you think Dos Santos and Overeem will go the distance?

Highly unlikely, this ends in under 2 rounds with someone knocked out. Certainly screw up my bets if it goes the distance.

 

[oneils]

You got two of them for a reason.

Pretty sure the fighters don't get a choice in the matter. If you can't see out of one eye, the doctor stops the fight.
Edit. Double post, sorry.

 

[ldcommando]

Lentz takes this

 

[Lightning Count]

Fuck McCain and his sensationalist attitude for those remarks, he doesn't know shit about MMA.

 

[dream]

Fuck McCain and his sensationalist attitude for tose remarks, he doesn't know shit about MMA.

Yeah, but to be fair, you also don't know that "I can't see" is fighter code for "I want out."

 

[oneils]

Hmm, I'm on Fight Pass. I just saw Gannou take a guy's face off. Is this live?

I seem to be having problems posting so this may be a double post.

Yeah I think you are watching a replay. The undercard is playing on fox 1 right now.

I found that pretty interesting. Maybe Cowboy is having some injury on his foot? Perhaps we'll notice something of it. Surely they are never absolutely healthy, but now there's something to look for.

 

[Rur0ni]

Life is risky. We make judgement calls. These fighters go into the ring knowing the risks. And in our every day life we make such calls. Like having sex without a condom, or having one drink too many.

Oh I see now. I just went to FP and it started playing but I see i have the option to replay any of the early fights.

 

[TheChits]

Grueling first round, but good start to the fight.

 

[scabro]

Fuck McCain and his sensationalist attitude for those remarks, he doesn't know shit about MMA.

was he though? even Dana White agrees Mccain was right

and lets face it, the sport was at its most entertaining when it was

condom depot > reebok

The first UFCs had that excitement that someone could actually die.

There is a reason they have a ref in the ring and a doctor ringside, though.
