There was a real poisonous atmosphere to this entire scene. Advised me a great deal of the Khabib vs. McGregor battle. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Dustin Poirier wins through doctors blockage Gilbert Burns vs. Stephen Thompson Im actually anticipating this one. Stephen Thompson is maybe the finest technical striker the UFC has actually even seen, Gilbert Burns is a jiu-jitsu expert with hammers for hands. The winner of this fight will likely get a title shot at some point in the future. Im choosing Thompson here. Hes one of the most challenging, unique fighters on the roster and hes outclassed practically everyone hes dealt with in the Octagon. Cant wait. Round 1 Cant blog anymore did a drinking video game where I conjecture whenever Joe Rogan says “karate design” and Im dead. Burns appears to be attempting to take this to the ground, which is smart, however Thompson has excellent takedown defence. A lot of the early part of this round is taking place on the fence. Not really excellent for either fighter. And obviously the crowd is booing. Wow– surprise– Burns got it to the ground. This could take him the round and make Thompson a bit more hesitant to through his world class kicks. Wonderboy ultimately returns to his feet, however a strong round for Burns here. CNET ratings it 10-9 for Burns Round 2 A frantic 2nd round fought on a hair trigger. Really tough one to score. Thompson appeared to manage the battle on the feet, however Burns snagged a takedown in the last thirty seconds, which might have taken him the round. Hard to say. I think Thompson, however who knows.CNET ratings it 10-9 for Thompson Round 3 Good start for Thompson, with a stinging straight over the top. Whoa … Thompson clips him with a SWEET wheel kick that almost knocks Burns off his feet. Unreal. Thought we may get a finish, however Burns appears to recover. Now hes got Thompson to the mat. Can Thompson get back to his feet? Hes running out of time here and Burns has got side control now. This looks bad for Thompson. CNET scores it 10-9 for Burns and 29-28 for Burns overall. Official choice: Gilbert Burns beats Stephen Thompson by choice (29-28 on all 3 scorecards) Tai Tuivasa vs. Greg Hardy Oh man, nothing like a heavyweight slobberknocker. Tai Tuivasa, is well-known for his triumph shoeys (a shoey is when you drink beer out of a strangers shoe, after the complete stranger has spat in it– yes, I know, gross). Greg Hardy is well-known as an ex-NFL gamer with a damaged history. Numerous are divided on whether he must be battling in the UFC at all. This fight ought to be absolute chaos. Tuivasa is loose and explosive and fun to view, Im selecting him to get it done tonight. Round 1 Holy shit, Tai Tuivasa comes out to the Spice Girls. This is the very best entryway Ive ever seen in my life. Please win Tai. Im asking you. Wow. What a wild minute of battling. Tuivasa comes out slicing the legs. Hardy counters with a thunderous shot and PROPERLY wobbles Tuivasa, however as Hardy is available in to finish he gets utterly melted by a counter left hook. Incredible scenes. Tuivasa climbs up to the cage and goes straight for the shoey babyyyyyyy! Remarkable. What a battle as long as it lasted.
The main occasion fight in between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 concluded in shocking fashion, with McGregor suffering what appeared to be a freak broken leg after rolling over his ankle in the dying seconds of the first round.It was a round McGregor conclusively lost, after being outstruck on the feet and battled to the ground after an unsuccessful submission effort.

Regardless of the outcome, McGregor was losing this fight comprehensively. Later On, Joe Rogan carried out an interview with McGregor as he was getting his leg participated in to. Realistically, its tough to inform when McGregor will be back– if hell be back.

Tai Tuivasa wins va KO in the preliminary Irene Aldana vs. Yana Kunitskaya Aldana came out triumphant.

This is a huge defend the ladiess bantamweight division, between 2 of its top competitors. Interestingly, Aldana is coming off a bad weight miss, hitting the scale at 139.5 pounds, when she required to hit 136. Will that affect this fight? Historically fighters who miss weight have a benefit, however sometimes that weight cut battle can have a huge effect on endurance. Lets see what takes place. Im choosing Kunitskaya. Round 1 Kunitskaya is throwing heat from the outset, landing big leg kicks. Shes moving strongly and really searches for this. Once Aldana settled in she began landing big punches, including one to the body that appeared to really impact Kunitskaya. And then suddenly Aldana definitely fractures Kunitskaya can be found in with a heavy counter check hook that lays Kunitskaya out. She attempts to safeguard with upkicks, however eventually Aldana gets on leading and lands bomb after bomb on Kunitskaya, who struggles to safeguard. This one is over. Irene Aldana wins via TKO in the very first round Sean OMalley vs. Kris Moutinho Sean OMalley won in a landslide success.

It would be a wild upset if OMalley lost this fight, but complete stranger things have occurred in the UFC. Exceptionally, OMalley broke the bantamweight record for a lot of strikes landed in a roundCNET ratings it 10-8 for OMalleyRound 2 OMalley cant miss and Moutinho has one of the craziest chins Ive seen in a battle. Regardless, a wild battle.
And it looks as though hes broken his ankle? The fight is over. McGregor is furious.
