Good interesting fight

 

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

Is there a decent card worth watching coming up?

The current state of the UFC is on par with UFC 9

220, Fight Night: Belem, 221, Fight Night: Austin... I mean in my opinion they're all pretty good.

 

[Mishima Zaibatsu]

That should be a good scrap.

Damn.

I'm interested in seeing more from this Emmet guy, he's up there in age, but he's pretty athletic and what he did to Lamas was impressive.

It would've been a lot more impressive if he hadn't come in 3 pounds overweight. That being said it was still a vicious knock out.

Yeah, but to be fair, didn't he cut weight on short notice or something?

 

[Onetrickpony]

Yes, I think it was about a month or so. In my opinion if he couldn't make the weight they should've fought at a catch weight so Lamas didn't have to drop down too.

 

[Jehannum]

I remember Josh Emmett cause that KO was sick, but who the fook is that other guy?

 

[Sheepdog]

220, Fight Night: Belem, 221, Fight Night: Austin... I mean in my opinion they're all pretty good.

UFC 220 is a Stipe/Francis injury away from being a top 3 worst PPV card of all time, possibly even the worst. Volkan DC would be a trash main event of a PPV and below that is the worst ever undercard.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

Yeah, but to be fair, didn't he cut weight on short notice or something?

He signed the contract saying he would make it.

That's where his excuses end for me.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

Another TAM vs Alliance battle. I hope Stephens crushes him.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

Emmit will knock him out man he just can't fuck with baldie

 

[nuraknu]

I don't really have a dog in this fight. Just going to enjoy.

That's unlikely if it goes Emmett's normal way.

[nuraknu]

You mean decision?

 

[nuraknu]

I know what you mean. But it will be interesting to see if he can do that with Stephens, anyway. Plus, I'm not sure how many 5-rounders he had prior to UFC.

 

[Onetrickpony]

Stephen’s might be in trouble, if I remember correctly powder had special powers.

 

[Jehannum]

It will be great for shoop artists if Stephens gets laid out like Lamas was

 

[Jehannum]

oh I didn't know Josh Emmett was at Team Alpha Manlet, I rate his chances at 15% less now

 

[Wild]

That should be a good scrap.

Damn.

I'm interested in seeing more from this Emmet guy, he's up there in age, but he's pretty athletic and what he did to Lamas was impressive.

I think he's going to KO Stephens here.
