Just got home. This was my first UFC live event.

Loved the action on the Prelims. Main card was 50/50 on the action. It definitely ended on a good note from Jacoby’s finish (after a lukewarm fight) then Kape, the Cub fight and Buckley vanquishing the Trumpster.

Hopefully I can catch a numbered card one day.

How were your seats and what percentage of the time were you looking at the Jumbotron?
 
I’d imagine you’re watching the whole card on jumbo

It’s all about atmosphere being in the building vs actually seeing the action

Hey Davey.

I managed to finagle a box suite ticket. I had a good view but you definitely have to watch the Jumbo. Maybe cage-side seats provide a better view. With the cage and all the angles a fight can take, your view can easily get obstructed.

1000%. It's the music. The crowd chanting. The crowd is definitely an element to a great card. The fighters the other. I was down bad during that David Jacoby fight. Fight was unexciting until he got landed that straight. Crowd was booing up till then. Crowd erupted after.
 
Impressive win by Buckley and I'd def be down to see him and Usman fight. A win there should get Buckley a shot in late 25' or early 26'. Colby on the other hand looks like he was never the same after his eye started bleeding and I'm sure he'll use that as an excuse to discount Joaquin.

Joaquin looked good. Him beating Colby was satisfying for a lot of people lol.

I think some people are still on the fence on him or feel like there’s still questions on his skill.

His last two opponents were older (though they were ranked opponents). And how good is take down defense? Belal, Shavkat, Brady and Garry all leverage wrestling in their games. Some more than others.
 
Loll mans was getting beat so bad that Chael was really contemplating on throwing the towel.

Colby is beyond washed. Don't need to see him in the octagon ever again. Send him to the GFL.
 
That was the version of Kape I had been waiting for 🔥

Hopefully he get some good match ups

Buckley looks better every time he step in there...

and +1 on his post fight call out lol waaaaaaaaaay better :rofl:
 
Nah Stylebender legacy is set, that run was unreal.

this is all bonus/funsies at this point.

nothing left for Izzy to prove.

Glad we get to still see him fight
Basically agree but I think many casuals will change the narrative if he were to lose 3 in a row. They quickly forget how Anderson's career went after he lost the belt but hey it is what it is. I'll still have Izzy as #2 MW ever and I don't see anyone reaching his status for a while.
 
It’s so wild the trajectory of Pereira and Adesanya after their first MMA fight.

Izzy is the second best MW of all time. He’s lost to champs.

No different than Usman. Who has only lost to champs (i believe Khamzat is going to be the next champ).

Also lol at Izzy catching strays after Kape’s fight.

They really should do Kai/Kape.

He wanted to be known as the GOAT.

That ain’t happening unless he regains the title and goes on another big run.
