I never thought I'd see the day that Darrick Minner & Kyler Phillips would fight on the same main card .... I'm stupified !    ⚠️

we've got wimmens mma co-headlining the card and one of those fighters even has a wikipedia page.  40% of the main card is wimmens mma, and giga chickadee is headlining the undercard against whatever random can takes the lowest bid.  are you not entertained?

come to think about it, over half of the competitors dont have a wiki page. this card is stacked. @sobercuban rolled over in his car fire grave just to pick up tickets for this event

Just so Joey's wife comes to the event, it'll be a good night

Let's go God of War! Been a fan of his for a while. Good to see him finally get a title shot

[OzPride 27,550]

I'm hoping Nauridiev didn't get caught up in the Austrian Coronavirus chit - ⚠️

I believe Zhang (248) is in the U.S. now-

[POTUF 54,588]

I really think we're now in the timeline where the flyweight division is about to get folded. 

Benavidez's title challenger just missed weight. That makes Benavidez the only one eligible to win the belt now. Cejudo only loses the belt once a challenger wins it. So if this Randy wins, he doesn't become champ, Cejudo retains, and won't defend for atleast a year. 

[juice64011 45,248]

Joe B has got this anyway. Figeiuredo is a good fighter though.

I'm afraid he has the Ken Flo gene. Always the bridesmaid. Spotting a hitter like Figeiuredo 3 lbs is a bad time tew.

Enjoy your ban.

figueredo missed weight and cant win the title lol 

i hope he wins the fight anyways just to make even more of a mockery of the division.  it needs to be scrapped

[ijosef 1,822]

I wonder if the 'cramps' he was experiencing during the cut was just his body saying "this isn't a real division and I'm not going to let you fight here."

[-idyb- 23,502]

tom breese has pulled out of a fight on the day of the event 3 times in the ufc so far.   whats the over/under that he'll do it again tonight?

i bet this guy would be having a panic attack right now if his opponent even had a wikipedia page

Edited February 29, 2020 by -idyb-

[-idyb- 23,502]

i got like 5 alarm clocks going off.  today is the big fight day. the moment that ufc fans from across the world have been waiting for.

we got more womens MMA co-main eventing this card stacked full of fighters that are too cool to have their own wiki page,  followed by a fight where one fighter has the opportunity to defeat a weight cutting can and win a vacated belt in a vacated division. i knew there was a reason for me to wake up today

Pena playing 4D chess commiting 2 fouls at once with that 12 to 6 elbow to the back of the head to cancel each other.

Given his result tonight, I bet he wishes he'd withdrawn.

[Bezerker101 54,699]

need Ankalaev & Figueiredo for a good night- ?

[juice64011 45,248]

A wimmens co-main and I don't know who either of them are. 

[ijosef 1,822]

How dare you? This likely determines the next women's featherweight contender! This is high level WMMA right here.

[ijosef 1,822]

That meaty-thighs Dumont chick just fell over due to exhaustion more than the punch from Anderson.

[juice64011 45,248]

Worst. stoppage. ever

[Bezerker101 54,699]

ufc toilet mma and I had Ank-

[skillandpower 12,860]

This stoppage is by far the most pathetic EVER.

That ref should ne sued by baldy.

[skillandpower 12,860]

That ref stopped one the most exciting fights of the whole card.

What was that idiot thinking ?

When will refs learn to let fighters bang
