UFC Fight Night Sun. Sep. 23 Santos vs Anders

Axwell

Not a great card between replacements and generally trying to put something together but could be a few entertaining ones to get it over the line. Fully expect Santos to walk away with an early KO and Oliviera to take it to the ground and get a realatively easy sub win. Barao was almost 6lbs over for the fight, disgraceful effort from him but can see him grind out a decision but really at this stage the UFC should cut their losses with him. Sam Alvey by KO, bad match up for Lil Nog..nothing else really on the card grabs my attention.

Comment on reddit sums this up well. Didn't even know there was an event tonight although I will watch it now!

this looks like a good card with lots of closely matched fighters and a few wars on paper anyway.


main event will do well to go past one maybe two rounds...santos comes out swinging and gets knocked out for me..thats where my few euros are going anyway.

oliveira is one fighter I like, a match for most but I don't know his opponent

other oliveira wins by sub in the first round I'd be thinking..

I hope barao gets his ass handed to him, such an unprofessional git.

I don't rate markos so if this brazilian is any good at all I think she'll win this.

I thought little nog had retired but its been two years, alvey not worth a feck imo but he is tough and I don't think little nog at this stage of his career has the tools to put him away.

trinaldo and dunham should be a dogfight though...leites lombard could be another and yet again I'll be hoping lombard gets finished..if leites can get past the first I think he could do it

I'd be very suprised if saunders could overcome moraes however.

would like to see sherman win also as its the last fight on his contract so I'd say he might get the door if he doesnt perform very well or win.


early prelims look well worth a watch

mailburner

first fight about one minute away

mailburner

lombard has 3 wins from 11 fights in the ufc (1nc)

a few there he completely dominated early on no doubt and got caught late on but with the power he has its a hard stat to believe


the one shining light on his record is the fact that he beat palhares...

mailburner

delighted for leites, had to be hurting after the first round but just
wanted it so badly and lombard yet again a spent force late on

yet again I'm very happy lombard got beat

Missed the first few will watch a few and see how the card is shaping up, have an early morning so dont know if I will last

mailburner

that was incredible by moraes, world class that was

credit to the ref for not standing them up in round one though

Axwell

What stage of the fights are we at, just turned it on now

mailburner

1st televised prelim

Axwell

Wouldnt be a ufc event without a good eye poke

mailburner

Neither of these fit to go three lol

Axwell

That fight seemed to drag on forever. Think i might call it a night and catch the rest tomorrow.

Santos v Anders was an enjoyable fight. Well worth a watch.

Oliveria breaks Royce's record for most subs in the UFC.

Why does Sam Alvey wear a double gum shield if he's going to always have it hanging out of his mouth. Annoys the shït out of me

He annoys me in general, but yeah that stupid gumshield thing in particular is ridiculous. Probably trying to protect his infamous 'smile'.

Only just watched it, half caught the main card and 3 prelims last night. Bit slow on this one.

But ya, a good fight. Dunno wtf Anders was doing at the end of that 3rd, I guess he was goosed but I think it shows his inexperience. Gutsy though, taking it on short notice.
