UFC Fight Night: Korean Zombie vs Rodriguez Early Prelims 00:01am Sunday Nov 11th

tinpib

Starts at midnight tonight, so 4 hours time.

Seems like UFC are celebrating their 25th birthday and going back to where they started in Colorado and are putting on a white collar MMA night

Skimmed through the card on Sherdog/Wiki, the amount of fighters without wiki pages was an indication, and when I checked further on Sherdog indeed a huge number of fighters are making their UFC debut tonight, although plenty have been on Dana's Tues Night Contenders show.

I think this thread will be quiet. God knows when I will watch this myself, some great sport on tomorrow.

However as we know cards like this can throw up some great scraps.

can't wait to see the korean zombie back in action and I really fancy he'll either sub or ko yair, think yair is a little over rated myself.

everyone seems to think perry will ko but at the odds I think cerrone might
be able to keep him at bay for a pts win.

finding it hard to get exciting about most of the card esp two of the womens fights though barber is supposed to be very good.

would like to see trizano beat pena but I don't see it happening.

Lastly...John Gunther, worst fighter on the
entire ufc roster or very close imo.
I hope he doesn't get too badly hurt and going from zuniga to ramos is about as big a jump as a man can take.

would like to see erosa return with a win against a very confident opponent and let's not forget erosa almost beat one of the very best in paddy the baddy pimblett :pac:

such a shame

He'll get one more fight and it'll be bye bye although imo that'll be it possibly

kinda reminds me of a fighter called tommy speer who lost a tuf finale
to mac danzig but a worse version of him
poor ol tommy got handed to rumble (51secs) after danzig and then
got cut

Ultimate Seduction

Weird stoppage there. What's the refe looking at so many replays for its obvious smelling wasn't out and didn't tap?

Ultimate Seduction

TKO what the fcuk

martyos121

Fight of the Year, without a doubt.

Hope Zombie is alright, that elbow was absolutely disgusting!

What an incredible finish by Rodriguez, l actually thought the bell saved KZ. Great fight.

Really want to see them re-book that Zabit/Yair fight now when the latter’s foot heals up, I think it could be a lot more competitive than I first thought based on that Yair performance with a broken foot since the first round.

ricero

Never seen a knockout such as that before in my life. It was unique.

tommyboy26

holy crap that was an insane fight and an even crazier finish. KZ was ahead on the cards which is mental.


delighted for cowboy as well. dont like perry at all.

cowboy says ufc has offered him a very interesting opponent at 155. any one want to guess who it is?

I reckon Gaethje

Brussels Sprout

Crazy finish to that main event. I must say I'm not a fan of all the hugging and high-fighting mid-fight. Save it for afterwards!

Autecher

I was surprised so many people were picking Perry over Cerrone, cowboy is better than him almost everywhere.

Perry belongs nowhere the top table. His mouth has got him further than his fighting.

Mike Perry posted this on his instagram. At least he can laugh about it.

He's an absolute brawler with no wrestling or jiu jitsu

Also cowboys submission was a thing of beauty

yea that crap does my head in

ASOT

Just rewatched the main event, my God lads it's up there with the best every fights in the sport.

Ultimate Seduction

Fair play to Skelly, he says he won't appeal that ridiculous stoppage if it means yer man loses his win bonus when it becomes a No Contest. Hope he gets the rematch.

TerrorFirmer

Man, what an utterly insane finish. The last second of the fifth round, you'd have to feel terrible for Zombie for that one. Amazing fight though.

Imagine if you'd put money on Yair via knockout, talk about a hail mary

I didn't look at the replays more than once, but to me it looked like the elbow came just before the bell, but that the ref waved his arms to call it off after the bell sounded. I was expecting some discussion/controversy in the days following, but none came, so maybe I'm wrong.

Is there a "saved by the bell" rule in MMA/UFC? Under most boxing rules, you can be saved by the bell in the last round.

Also reports said that Zombie was ahead on the cards. But that was presumably only up to the end of the 4th round. So maybe a 10-8 round (I think a knockout blow is sufficient for 10-8!) to Yair would have swung the cards anyway?

KZ was ahead on 2 cards, level on the other. If it went to a decision the only way Yair would have won the fight would be if he got a 10-8 score from all 3 judges in the last round.
