The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Islam vs Dustin on TONIGHT

[steevoo1]

Forgot UFC London is next week too. Some fighters getting interviewed saying they're gon have to go London fight then get quarintine for two weeks before theyre able to get back home smh.

The fact they are fighting tomorrow with no one being tested is insane

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Shooot I’m not complaining & I’m sure none of the fighters are either.

Here’s the thing though, are other sports leagues going to test every single player before they resumes their seasons? Not saying they shouldn’t just honestly wondering

Not to mention any coaches or trainers etc. slippery slope

 

[Deleted member 37467]

I would think yes, for sure.

I'm assuming in 30-60 days we'll actually have enough kits and people can get tested, which is obviously an issue right now.

They were saying half the states kits were used just to test the Jazz players and staff.

There's like 600 fighters on the UFC roster...

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They gonna test every staffer, dancer, coach, official, fan, judge etc? Seems like a challenge

Not to mention you could pass the test one day for one event and catch it the next day. They gonna have to test every single person involved with a fight every week.. or in the nba or mlb for every game? Idk

Put a few bucks on some fights

I feel like Maia and trinaldo are good bets. Maia and burns are 2 bjj aces but Maia should be way bigger. And trinaldo is well rounded enough and a good match up against makdessi

Feel like putting more on trinaldo ..Anyone have thoughts? I honestly haven’t been keeping up with mma too closely lately

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Tbh burns bjj could be just enough to keep him out of danger and his striking seems better than Maia’s. Can never doubt Maia tho even at 42 he has that grit and durability

Fighting with no fans really seems like the wildcard in how it will impact individual fighters

haven't decided on my bets yet but i feel trinaldo is worth a look. leaning towards kevin lee, throwing ribas in a parlay, and maybe o2.5 for yahya/barzola.

Card actually lit

Would have been nuts with the crowd too and with Lee missing weight it could have been a Vitor vs Rumble in Brazil 2.0

[newbs24]

So much like TUF fights... Like it... Makes the fights easier to call without the crowd ruining it

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bizarre viewing experience tbh. Even though we've gone through TUF and what not, it's just weird knowing this is a "major" event taking place in this environment

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wow

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It’s not terrible but it’s a shame the Brazilian fans aren’t in there. The energy would be nuts

 

[ryda421]

veronica baby girl i eat it like groceries after the fight no shower needed

 

[dasitmane]

Hoping Macedo doesn't get cut now

 

[xbiker47]

still could not even imagine Tony and Khabib fight in this kind of setting

Sports isn't meant to be like this especially title prize fights

 

[imasoleman18]

her laugh

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The post fight interview with no audience is strangely fun

 

[OTG]

goddamn ribas annoying

 

[OTG]

solid effort from brandon moreno, those scrambles were crazy.

 

[buc em]

This is the first entertaining fight of the card. Hope it continues the rest of the night.
