Had Song 29-28 but it was tight. A lot tighter than you'd think from commentary. :pac:

MrStuffins · 07-03-2021 3:32am

Very close fight. Had Phillips 29/28 but as said above, could have went the other way.

Impressed by Phillips

mdwexford · 07-03-2021 3:38am

Let’s go Dom!

Think he’s fighting for his career here. Losing is not an option.

MrStuffins · 07-03-2021 3:40am

Mad to see Cruz go from where he was to being an underdog v an unranked opponent.

Pulling for him here

[Deleted User] · 07-03-2021 3:51am

Cruz look gassed in the second?

mdwexford · 07-03-2021 3:52am

This is tight.

I’ve round 1 Dom, round 2 Kenny.

MrStuffins · 07-03-2021 3:58am

Rounds 1 & 3 to Cruz.

I gave him round 2 as well but I can see 29/28 here.

Either way, Cruz should take it

I agree and hope we are right.

[Deleted User] · 07-03-2021 4:01am

Right result but Jesus.

MrStuffins · 07-03-2021 4:01am

Three completely different scorecards.

Right man won though

robwen · 07-03-2021 4:04am

Who did Dom call out there, something to do with monster?

MrStuffins · 07-03-2021 4:06am

Anyone know any more about what Cruz was just saying?

From what I gather, a guy from Monster Energy Drink has been throwing his weight around and making UFC fighters do promo for him and stuff under threat of breach of contract or something? And now Cruz wants to fight him?

Rogan seemed to cut him down, calling it political

Found this:

https://amp.reddit.com/r/DanaWhiteRoasts/comments/f9ksf9/ladies_and_gents_this_is_an_absolute_gold_this_is/

Apparently he's a photographer for Monster who pretends to be tight with fighters and has used that to be a guy who decides who Monster give sponsorships to.

He then uses that in a roundabout way to get himself close to fighters, or to engineer ways to make it look that way.

Sounds weird

Always thought Dom was a bit of a nob head. An amazing fighter over the years but always comes across as a sore little fooker. That interview was bizarre to say the least.

mdwexford · 07-03-2021 4:18am

Santos by murder in round 1 would go down well.

MrStuffins · 07-03-2021 4:39am

This was not the fight that I imagined would be a let down tonight

[Deleted User] · 07-03-2021 4:40am

Really hope this doesn't set the tone for the night

mdwexford · 07-03-2021 4:41am

Dismal stuff. Both playing for a 0-0 there.

sydthebeat · 07-03-2021 4:42am

Nah mate

[Deleted User] · 07-03-2021 4:44am

Surprised Dana didn't tell him to **** off there.

The White Feather · 07-03-2021 4:50am

Anderson doesn't look good here arriving to the arena

Far too cagey, disappointed in that fight.

Mind you I am a casual fan so easily miss nuances. But really hope better to come.

mdwexford · 07-03-2021 4:54am

Was torn between Islam sub or Dober KO for a wager.

Went with the former but Dober is being underestimated here.

[Deleted User] · 07-03-2021 4:55am

People have little to be at. :pac:

Wow! She looks terrible. Like she can barely walk.

Her face is so pale!

Not a good start

She looks like she's been up for a few days straight.

That's what she gets for drafting in Paulo "Grigio" Costa to take care of her weight cut

[Deleted User] · 07-03-2021 5:07am

Not gonna pretend to know whole lot about him but looking at his record how is Makhachev only ranked 14th?
