This was super weird. Delayed knockout or faked to try and get a dq win?
https://twitter.com/CPBetting/status/1934100890157461835?s=19That angle looks legit
But there are other angles where he's looking at the ref and remonstrating before he hits the canvas

Yeah there's a couple of damning angles
On a related note I think upkicks on a technically grounded opponent should be legal

Agreed

The kick didn't even seem to hit him flush, so weird to think someone might flop in mma. Like if that's your attitude surely you're fucked before you're even in the cage. Ref must have had enough doubt to make it a no-contest rather than dq. Great call.

Atlanta purses released, not including post fight bonuses. More than I was expecting considering there is so much talk of fighters not being paid but, huge variance that I can't really get my head around. I mean why does Namajunus get $200K more than Usman when he is the headliner? No win bonus for the main card? I guess these are all individually negotiated? Certainly must suck starting out, are they stopped from getting individual sponsorship when they join ufc? If not then is it really that bad?

Finally caught up on the fight night, been a struggle to stay off X to have it spoilt. Luckily its been a really quiet last few days on both news and UFC front...
Very enjoyable card for a fight night.
Rountree Jr was clinical taking Hill apart, well deserved to be a top 5 contender.
Though what stole the show was this fight which took away ALL of the post fight bonuses $100K to each fighter. Likely best fight I've seen this year

, more like the @MiketheSnow Good riddance, what an absolute ass. Keeps talking about legacy but just can't help tarnishing it and holding up the entire division as well as Aspinall's career.
On my UFC catchup I've just got to #151 which was cancelled due to Jones ducking an extremely short notice callup of Chael Sonnen who at that time was a middle weight.
Found the conference call announcing the cancellation and Dana did not mince his words on what he thought of Jones, no idea how it went from this to Dana singing his praises and talking about Jones 'never ducking a fight'..this was all pre PED/run ins with the law as well.

Oh he still hates Jones
There was a period where all the big champs retired or lost. The UFC had two stars to talk up - Jones and Pereira. White praised Jones while he thought he had a big fight to sell. He'll be calling someone else the GOAT soon
DW also dislikes Ngannou. He'll praise him if a fight with him an Apsinall was possible (doubt it'll ever happen)

Three sets of predictions and we can't agree on a single fight. I guess that's good match making
