UFC 263: Adesanya vs. Vettori 2

MrStuffins

Nate's a f*cking idiot!

He hurt Edwards and rather than go after him, he started taunting and letting him off the hook.

It cost him the fight. Unbelievable!

hawaii501

Some last minute from Diaz, he had Edwards hurt badly. Thought he was gonna finish it. Leon wobbling for the last minute hut did well to survive.

Easy 49-46 win for Edwards for me, hope he gets the title shot now.

Nate Diaz is an idiot. He wobbles Edwards badly with one minute to go and what does he do? Act around and showboat despite being down all 4 rounds which let Leon recover to survive the last 30 seconds. If Nate had any common sense he would have went hell for leather there and then and Leon would have crumbled. Actually sickened by the stupidity of Nate.

Have to laugh at this. Nate getting absolutely lit up and all the commentators can talk about is how "awkward" he is and how his "clowning around" is so hard for his opponents to deal with.

:pac:

Leon really wanted to take his head off there in the 5th and it nearly cost him. Back in my box...

He had it. And show boated instead. I'm raging with him

Same here.

I didn't really care who won, but it annoys me when he has a guy half the way out of there with seconds left in the round and let's him away with it.

FFS!

Nathaniel Diaz is one tough bastard.

I had to laugh at Edwards looking up at the clock because he was definitely too googly-eyed to see it haha.

pappyodaniel

All the experts slagging off Nate. I'd say he was as surprised as ye that he hit him so hard. Gimme a break.

EagererBeaver

And that's why this fight was impossible to understand from Edwards' perspective. Completely dominant against an inferior fight but all anyone will remember is Nate drilling him. Hard to see a title shot off the back of it without another fight somewhere.

LurkerNo1

Seriously disappointing end, the KO was presented to Nate on a plate and he chooses to showboat.

Great entrance from Moreno.

Looks confident.

Podge2k7

Hopefully another cracker of a fight between these two

MrStuffins

Pulling for Moreno here. He seems like such a good dude and it'sbeen class to see him go from a kid on TUF all those years ago to where he is today.

I'd love to see him with the belt

I said we might know something after a minute what I meant was obviously the way they set up, is there a frantic start yadda yadda anyway pretty much on the minute mark Nate delivered his first taunt and it was all downhill from there until those crazy 90 seconds or so in the last let's be honest the other 4 rounds were pretty straight forward for Edwards and was nothing to write home about.

That was a quality strike by Nate a bit more focus and he could've got his hand raised. I don't give him the props like the commentary team are willing and can justify pushing the myth Nate does better in the later rounds or whatever.

PatrickDoherty

I expected that Diaz on slaught in the late 3rd to early 4th round and him to get the finish, left it too late due to that game plan from Edwards.

I've given up moaning about him not checking that leg kick but really would improve him no end to check them, lot of people changing their underwear after ****ting all over Diaz on twitter for 23 minutes.

Mike Beltran is one big ****er.

MrStuffins

Moreno looking sharp.

I wonder how bad Figgy's cut was? He made weight with 40 secs to spare and he doesn't look as confident here as he normally does

When he ditch that Dragon Age facial hair he had goin on?

MrStuffins

Joe reckons it's 2-0 Moreno but I think I'd edge that last one to Figgy. Threatened the sub in his takedown and caused damage on Moreno's.

1-1 for me

MrStuffins

GET IN!!!!!!!

Stacks of pesos in Dana's eyes after that.

pappyodaniel

That was so dominant.

hawaii501

Moreno looked so good in there tonight, excellent finish and I thought was 2 up anyway. Dana's new cash cow for Mexico!!

eagle eye

Delighted for Moreno, serious entertainer, high level grappler.

MrStuffins

How can you not love the guy?

On Embedded, Figgy just kept talking about how he was gonna destroy Brandon for "the disrespect", Whalid Ismael giving it socks at every opportunity.

Moreno pops up and says how it's his dream come true that he finally has a room big enough for his Lego and Funko collections!

Lad has a Mickey Mouse tattoo on his back :pac:

You were 100% right. Figgy didn't look anything close to his usual self. I'd say the cut had a part to play.

Taking nothing from Moreno, he was fantastic.

The difference was huge.

Figgy may have been less than 100%, but Moreno was 110%

Great performance!

Marvin looks a tank. Anyone think he has a chance here?

Definitely a chance. Split Dec in their last one and Jan showed Izzy isn't super human.

I think Izzy wins it but a Marvin win wouldn't be shocking to me

pappyodaniel

vettori gave Izzy problems the last time they fought.

Takedown for Vettori already.

pappyodaniel

I have Vettorri 2-0

I'm not sure. Vettori's corner told him he lost round two.

I have it 2-1 Izzy but it's close

What fight are ye watching.?

Not one of Izzys best performance. I think Marvin is doing well.

MrStuffins

3-1 but Izzy's hardly running away with things.

Eeking the rounds. Other than leg kicks I can't think of anything Izzy has done that stands out

ShaneU

shit fight

MrStuffins

Not a great fight at all

PatrickDoherty

50-45, completely different levels, good athlete vettori but no brain.

pappyodaniel

Decision ain't too straight forward,

EagererBeaver

Adesanya just a completely different level of fighter as everyone knew.

Christ he's an unlikeable twat though. Vettori shrugged off a really bad eye poke and and an awful kick in the balls and Izzy's clowning around and mocking him. More he's talking about "showing respect".

MrStuffins

Scorecards don't really tell the story.

Pretty bad fight.

Agreed. Can't take to him at all. Touch of the Jon Joneses off him

Pardon me, at what point was that any way competitive?

The Italians will be doing some gesticulating after staying up to watch that.

You wouldn't think Vettori was fighting for a title.

theteal

I missed the first round but can't disagree with the scores there. Vittori kept giving him enough space to pick his shots, mindless stuff. Issy could have kept at that knee and finished it I reckon.

Yeah still not a likable sort but I doubt he cares.

hawaii501

Marvin got one meaningful takedown and a couple of jabs throughout the fight.
Easy nights work for Izzy, maybe 49-46 at a stretch but scorecards correct for me. Love watching him fight but hate the childish antics and showboating he does.

50-45 would indicate total domination if you weren't watching the fight.

This wasn't total domination. Izzy won the rounds but it wasn't a one sided beat down by any means
