Weidman can only blame himself for telling the docs he was hurt bad by illegal knees that turned out to be legal knees.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Rumble got to take DC out by 2 rounds or the fool is done.

Bingo

 

[Chumley]

I have a weird sinking feeling that Rumble is going to kill DC in the first round.

 

[Infernostew]

Did Weidman say anything about being unable to continue? I don't understand why the doctors would stop the fight besides Weidman saying something to them and having to eat it while trying to stall.

 

[PaulKersey]

You're expecting him to know the rules better than the ref? Why wouldn't he take a 5 minute time out if the ref was telling him it was an illegal knee?

This was all on the ref and the ny athletic commission.

He should know what is touching the ground. It's ok, maybe eidman can get his W back in Bellator.

 

[Fitts]

After the weigh in stuff, I want Rumble to win. Well, due to that and because I'd like to see him wreck Jones.

Spoiler

I give Jones the advantage in that fight, FYI.

 

[alr1ght]

Still the GOAT Rumble KO

 

[Oscar]

I want a Rumble KO just because it cracks me up every time people say "he was in the shadow dimension" or something similar :3

Shadow realm!

 

[alr1ght]

Did Weidman say anything about being unable to continue? I don't understand why the doctors would stop the fight besides Weidman saying something to them and having to eat it while trying to stall.

I thought I heard Joe say Weidman said he couldn't continue (while he thought they were illegal).

The moment he needed a doctor to check him out from a legal strike, he was unable to continue.

The fight wasn't stopped because Weidman couldn't continue. The fight was stopped because once he is examined by doctors for a legal strike, it's no longer his choice to continue.

Commentary team was claiming that. Internet detectives must find and read his lips.

If so, no rematch. Screw him

 

[dopplr]

Good thing DC shaved. I want him to pull the win - he's the only fighter I never want to see lose. Just gotta weather the storm of the first few minutes and grind to a win.

 

[Infernostew]

Just hoping DC puts in a better effort than his last fight. That was fucking dire. Personally rooting for Rumble.

 

[Rhaknar]

Shadow realm!

Yes that...

Lol I dont know why it makes me laugh so much man.

 

[Guru-Guru]

I want Rumble as our champ. Rumble vs Jones next would be hype.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I thought I heard Joe say Weidman said he couldn't continue (while he thought they were illegal).

Sounds like he played himself.

 

[polyh3dron]

Sounds like he played himself.

Yep. He tried to game the system and it ended up not working out the way he planned. Welp.

 

[Infernostew]

At least I know this fight won't last all 5 rounds

 

[Chumley]

I thought I heard Joe say Weidman said he couldn't continue (while he thought they were illegal).

If he did then my argument for a rematch is kind of nil.

 

[juliushandle]

He should know what is touching the ground. It's ok, maybe eidman can get his W back in Bellator.

Damn, rematch in Bellator makes sense.

 

[Rumblebones]

I'm scared for DC.

I like both fighters. Don't want either to lose, but here we go.

 

[broz0rs]

I have a weird sinking feeling that Rumble is going to kill DC in the first round.

same here, even though I'm pulling for DC to win

 

[Archaix]

Sounds like he played himself.

Yeah, regardless of how many weird and bad decisions were made along the way it all happened because he was admittedly trying to game the rules.

 

[Dr.Acula]

At least I know this fight won't last all 5 rounds

Get ready for 25 of the boringest, huggiest minutes of your life!

 

[parrotbeak]

The official to DC's right looked sketchy as fuck.

 

[Chumley]

I'm scared for DC.

I like both fighters. Don't want either to lose, but here we go.

My brain says DC wins my heart says Rumble murders him.

 

[RBelong2Us]

But if it was illegal does the match stop as an NC or W for Weidman?

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

I thought I heard Joe say Weidman said he couldn't continue (while he thought they were illegal).

I thought he said he was wondering if Weidman said that. We definitely heard Weidman said he could continue a minute after that.

 

[alr1ght]

God I hope DC doesn't lay on him for 25 minutes.

I think he's going to get clipped early.

 

[Chumley]

here we go

 

[Spladam]

Get ready for 25 of the boringest, huggiest minutes of your life!

Lol, we'll see.

 

[Rhaknar]

Get ready for 25 of the boringest, huggiest minutes of your life!

You might be on to something

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

What..the hell..is this gameplan from Rumble.

 

[Spladam]

Why is Rumble still trying? He needs to start punching.

 

[Infernostew]

Rumble, what are you doing?

 

[dopplr]

Fuck yeah DC. Looking solid.

 

[Macattk15]

What are you fucking trying to do Rumble?

I often think he is legit the dumbest fighter.

 

[Obliterator]

Rumble is trying to wrestle DC.....what the fuck is he doing

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Did Rumble just shoot on DC 2 minutes into the fight? Define stupid.

 

[BadAss2961]

Can't believe Rumble initiated the clinch with DC. lol

 

[Guru-Guru]

I'm guessing this was not part of the gameplan....

 

[Rhaknar]

And again.

 

[Infernostew]

I'm guessing this was not part of the gameplan....

Rumble engaged in the clinch

 

[Reg]

bizarro land

 

[Obliterator]

Sure Rumble, you should try to wrestle arguably one of the best wrestlers ever in the UFC in any division. Great call

 

[Archaix]

DC's been talking a lot about how he's willing to stand with Rumble. This is clearly just mindgames.

"He'll never expect me to tire myself out wrestling!"

 

[BadAss2961]

Rumble seems like he's trying to fight DC like Jones did.

 

[Macattk15]

Welp Rumble's gas tank gonna be gone after this round.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Lol, we'll see.

You might be on to something

I hope I didn't jinx this, lol.

 

[Yaari]

Hope Rumble isn't gassed after this.
