UFC Fight Night Events Thread - Spoilers Within

Couldn't agree more. I would love if the UFC would cut the amount of cards they put on by about half. One big event a month and maybe one other fight night. I be looking at the cards on Wikipedia and I haven't got a clue who 3/4's of these people are...

Yeah no surprise there

Yeah seen that, it'll last 30 seconds max I'd guess.

The guy I'd compare him to is Chimaev. He's just a killer. They fight in different divisions but I'd expect both to be champions.

I know it's very early to be calling that for Nickal but he's been a world champion and collegiate champion wrestler multiple times. He has unbelievable strength.

I think Chimaev would destroy him,

There's only 1 years difference in age & Chimaev is far more experienced in MMA , wrestling would probably cancel each other out & it would come down to striking ,

Bo missed out on the 2020 Olympics because he wrestled David Taylor for a spot on the team & lost , Taylor was a 2 time World Champion & actually went on to win the Olympics so np shame in losing to that man ,

I think Chimeav may be a better all round grappler,

His wrestling record is unreal although its is Sweden 23 -0 at the national championships , talk he came 3rd in Russia Jr but not sure if that is true ,

Also rumour he actually did lose 1 in Sweden but he changed his name .His original name is  Khamzat Girikhanov ,

Ahh come on now he's still the best by a country mile in Sweden , He only lost a combined 6 points in them 23 matches, its a fantastic record , of course its not as competitive as D1 but its still outstanding ,

Pure wrestling i agree but i think he may be the better MMA grappler only time will tell,

If im wrong I'll have no problem with that ,

He was under 23 world champion twice, I wasn't suggesting he was senior world champ just that he'd win world titles. His first fight was a brutal knockout but against much weaker opposition than hell face now.

I wasn't suggesting he'd face or beat Chimaev just that to me he looks a similar type. They are at different weights.

He's nothing like Askren because he doesn't have to use wrestling, he's very good on his feet and he can sub without a takedown.

The judge who gave Vera that fight should be fired, he was dominated all fight ffs.

That was one of the best Fight Nights of recent times. All the main card fights were great - MacKenzie Dern put a serious beating on Angela Hill, that was insane, never seen her fight like that before.

Heard Bannon got a gift there

edit.. she lost, yes?

Aspinall impressive

So quick

The problem is that all our potentially great MMA women are playing Rugby, Camogie and Gaelic football.

I concur and Molly is entertaining because of the potential of a knockout. I can see her being around for another few years if she wants to keep.going.

Molly was in a perfect position to defend that arm bar, Julija could not stretch herself out & was never going to fnoish it from that postion,

Molly quite literally rolled herself into the arm bar ,its not a go at her but its exactly what happened, If she had of remained composed & stayed put she was in no danger,

I'm afraid this time your totally wrong or just refusing to back track,

Molly was in the perfect position to defend it, her arm was not extended & Julija was never in a million year getting it until the roll ,

Molly should have stayed where she was remained clam got her feet under her & stacked Julija further into the fence,

I'm really surprised with you on this because it was pretty obvious to anyone with even limited knowledge that roll literally gave her the submission to say other is simply incorrect

I disagree, when Stoliarenko's head was past the hips it was difficult to defend, once her right leg came across the face it was over before she ever rolled.

Come on your not finishing an arm bar from there on anyone who's got half decent grappling experience ,

There is absolutely zero logic in rolling in that position

I definitely see no need to track back. Anyone thinks that position was a strong defence for the armbar just simply doesn’t see the finish from there. You are looking at it very one dimensionally.

Her arm was separated from her body. She has no way to defend, other than bicep and shoulder strength.

It’s true than she can’t move fully back to hyperextend horizontally because of the cage. But she doesn’t need to. Just needs to get the angle and extend her hips forward.

This image is less than a second after the one you posted. Molly’s is the red glove. You can see it’s gone from in free space to against Juilja’s chest. Her arm is straightened.

You really think that if Molly “sprawls”there that Julija isn’t strong enough to hip into arm. I think it would be trivial. Her deadlift vrs a bicep curl. FWIW there is some space to the cage that add further hyper extension.

That position is a really strong armbar finish. In addition to hyper extending, it also strongly internally rotates the shoulder. That’s why it’s a really common reaction to try roll out, like Molly did. It’s possible to make enough space to get out. But much easier to follow and finish.

The better way to escape is to circle clockwise. But ironic Molly was block from going that way by the cage.

I stand by my initial comment. It was over before the roll.
