@Duluth I don't really like Stipe. There's just something about him. He seems like a nice guy but there's just something there that makes me want DC to take his belt. I also expect Stipe to win though.

O'Malley is starting to believe his own hype or at least he's starting to play the hype game. Can't blame him for wanting to make up for lost time etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost because it's usually when someone starts beefing with more than one party(Vera and Garbrandt) that their focus may not be where it should be. But again I expect him to win.

JDS has always been one of my guys. I prefer fighters with strong boxing etc. I think this is a good match up stylistically. I just think maybe JDS is slowing down and Rozenstruik, although stopped quickly by Ngannou was on a 4 fight streak. JDS lost to Ngannou and Blades in the lead up to this and hadn't been as busy as Rozenstruik. Could work in JDS favour i guess. Being potentially fresher and better rested.

Stipe, O'Malley, Rozen

Yoder is pretty cute

[Duluth]

@mariner4life and Souza isn’t

[raznomore]

@mariner4life she was a cheerleader

[raznomore]

Yoder stealing this with dominant position. I had to cash out. Cash was $101 so made a tidy profit....not $12k though..

[raznomore]

Yoder either has excellent late head movement or is fluking not getting kod by that over hand right

[raznomore]

Wow. Should have toughed it out dammit.

Yoder won that for me.

[raznomore]

Great set of prelims so far. Mixture of tough fights and one fantastic arm bar sub.

Pretty much the right decision in the main event. But although there was an eye poke, pretty classless of DC to just fuck off out of the ring.

It’s weird because he gave credit to Stipe in the post fight. But losing DC has always been a pretty cringey DC.

[Duluth]

@raznomore

Maybe he was asked to rush to the interview? It didn't look good though

Stipe with a smart fight - wrist control in the clinch, a good amount of body work. He seemed to up the pace in the last minute of most rounds. Shame about the eye but Stipe was already taking control by then

Unfortunate injury in the co-main

[MiketheSnow]

Great night of fights again.

Watching JDS is like watching Arlovski (my fave heavyweight). Great technical skill, fitness and ring smarts.

But the punches don't quite have the same snap, and overall not as durable as in previous fights.

One lapse of concentration / over extending and it's all over.

Tough luck for Suga. But Vera didn't look overawed. Will be a good rematch.

Stipe outhought and outfought DC despite the eye poke.

Stipe won't beat Ngannou again.

John Jones who knows.
