oh snap i thought you said faber haha

yeah faber is a manlet. that 5'7 they have him listed at is generous. 

yeah have a hard time believing he's taller than Frankie Edgar (5'6).

 

[illphillip]

I hope Moraes gets some shine this season. Want to see that kid in the UFC already.

[illphillip]

My dude Masvidal another one of those with sick boxing.

Hyped for this freebie minus the chicks.

I'll stare at Meisha's thighs though.

 

[boxer15]

I feel like Masvidal deserves to be on the main card.

 

[illphillip]

Masvidal and Healy are both coming off losses. So prelims it is.

 

[phillyzphan]

I wonder how they determine who is gonna be on the main card and the prelims. I would've figured that RDA v Khabib would've been on the main card. Especially over Romero v Tavares. Even at 172, Benavidez is on the prelims while Holloway v Fili is on the main card.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rda and khabib are supposedly top ranked in their division.. You'd think they'd be featured.. After the women's division dies out this shouldn't happen

 

[phillyzphan]

It may end up happening more cause they're adding a 115 lb women's division. I think they start on TUF with Pettis and Gil. 

 

[smedroc]

The main thing i'm taking away from last nights card is that Theodorou is handsome as ****.

 

[illphillip]

And Bisping is apparently never getting over the hump.

 

[smedroc]

Shout out to Noons follow up shot aswel. One of the cleanest bombs i've seen in a long while :x

The whole episode of Stout and the ref afterward.... Not gonna i laughed at the time but **** was pretty sad to witness

 

[tiger energy]

I wonder how they determine who is gonna be on the main card and the prelims. I would've figured that RDA v Khabib would've been on the main card. Especially over Romero v Tavares. Even at 172, Benavidez is on the prelims while Holloway v Fili is on the main card.

Maybe they are putting known fighters in the prelims so they can draw more people to watch before the main card starts?

I missed yesterday's fight cause I'm on vacation. Was it good?

 

[champcruthik]

One week from 172 in B-More. #ChampBringingHeat

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dude, today is a ridiculous day for sports

I'm so hyped for this card tonight, can't even think about it right now though because of the Clipper/Warrior game

 

[champcruthik]

War "Cowboy," Miesha, Khabib, D.O., and Mein.

 

[shogun]

I love my bae Meisha. Her face usually looks like a mess after a fight. Hope she takes less damage in this one.

 

[phillyzphan]

Glad that Thiago Alves is back and really wanna see if Khabib is really that good. Especially after seeing that vid yesterday of him as a kid fighting a bear in Russia.

Damn, is Joe Rogan wearing a suit? Never thought I'd see that.

 

[notoriouslar]

Yoel
Cowboy
Miesha

[red80]

where has thiago been? injury? im totally out of the loop on everything :x




nobody does that lead kick+jab combo like cheeago.

 

[notoriouslar]

I think he has had at least 3 surgeries over the last two years. Looks great in there right now, combos are killer.

 

[red80]

thiago looked good for someone who hasnt fought in 2 years. dude is such a nice striker.

 

[shogun]

I forgot but didn't they find an abnormality in his brain or heart a few years ago during a physical? Been wondering where he's been. Dude went from a contender to disappearing.

 

[red80]

more of these combat sambo guys need to make the transition to MMA 

i remember when fedor was in his prime there was a guy in russia giving him a run for his money in combat sambo

 

[notoriouslar]

As the homie @NewYorkRic said on Twitter, "If you let Khabib Nurmagomedov to lock his hands, your going to have a bad time"

Rogan riding Khabib hard here, though.
