He killed him. Masterful use of that left butterfly hook

The AC must not be working very well in the arena tonight, I see everyone fanning themselves lol

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Bobble head movement..

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bermudez the all time leader at FW in takedowns? Interesting

Happy for Mendes

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I feel like it's wild that Bermudez and Mendes haven't ever fought

Bermudez made his UFC debut in December 2011
Mendes made his UFC debut in February 2011

I also find it wild that Bermudez first beat Jimmy Rivera on TUF by TKO in the entry round. I don't remember that at all

Jimmy Smith: "this is the hottest arena I've ever been in by the way"

Boise get your **** together

 

[Barbados Slim]

Damn that's 4 straight L's for Bermudez...

 

[QU!K]

Israel looks kinda ayo

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bermudez third straight split decision loss

I just read that Featherweight Volkanovski started out 4-0 as an amateur at Middleweight

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Israel looks kinda ayo

Listened to him on the Rogan podcast this week, he's a real fight enthusiast. He follows MMA very closely, past and present. I know a lot of fighters don't actually follow the sport so I found it rather interesting

Dude seems pretty straight, not that it matters either way

 

[QU!K]

Sage too small for 170, he should fight at 155 while he's still young enough to do the weight cut

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

In the olden days yes, but I'd like to see the culture start changing to fight closer to your natural weight

If younger guys start doing this maybe the landscape can actually start to shift

Good win by Sage though

 

[xbiker47]

good win for Sage

 

[af1 1982]

Sage too small for 170, he should fight at 155 while he's still young enough to do the weight cut

I'd like to see him and Woodley side by side. Not actually fight since Tyron would kill him but Im willing to bet they're around the same size

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I honestly don't find Sage's corniness to be a bad thing at all

Legit he's always spreading positivity and I don't think there's any fake ness to it

World needs more positivity

 

[QU!K]

Good comeback win, he was looking like food early

Son was probably like

"Thank you Mr. Ottow!"

I don't like that he's at team Alpha Fail

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ivanov training out of AKA? Hmm.... they got the formula for JDS

 

[alchemist]

Sage has a bright future, from what I’ve seen the guys super disciplined and only 22. Been doing martial arts since he came out the womb too.

 

[alchemist]

JDS is getting KOd.

 

[QU!K]

I'd like to see him and Woodley side by side. Not actually fight since Tyron would kill him but Im willing to bet they're around the same size

I take back what I said

 

[alchemist]

Woodley cutting weight hard in the first pic LOL

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

WTF? This guy pretty much died and came back to life... stabbed in the heart in February 2012 and fought in September 2013

In the early morning of February 26, 2012 a group of eight men entered the capitol bar "Ice" on Graf Ignatiev Street and attacked Ivanov and his two friends, both with criminal past. Ivanov was stabbed below the armpit, with the blade of the knife penetrating his heart. He was in the intensive care unit after 6 hours of lifesaving medical intervention at Sofia's Pirogov Hospital, his condition stabilized with the aid of an artificial respirator.
