Cymbols Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Last night’s UFC was sneaky good. Have to feel that Gilbert Burns’s spot belongs to Leon Edwards though. Poor guy had the worst luck with the timing of lockdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 There’s always a lot more action and finishes when they use the 25ft cages. Hope they book Edwards / Usman next, but they’ll probably go with Masvidal because they’re really bad at this 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Alexander Gustafsson is coming out of retirement on Fight Island, in a Heavyweight contest against Fabricio Werdum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Fight Island is falling apart. Two Brazilians have tested positive for Covid today, leaving Jack Shore and Modestas Bukauskas without opponents. Both Cage Warriors vets and super sound guys too, which sucks. Nicholas Dalby and Ramazan Emeev have been left without opponents due to injury over the last 24 hours. And today Khabib’s father has died, resulting in two of his teammates pulling out of fights on the island. Six fights have fallen out in just one day, and we’re still eight days out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 It is utterly baffling they've opted to include backyard cage fights. It's like an official F1 game including illegal street racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so they can pay homage to Masvidal's start as a bare knuckle fighter in Kimbo Slice's backyard and Adesanya's career beginnings as the main character in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.

Your Mom Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I wish UFC wasn't so expensive. I've really gotten back into it with the lack of live sports and I think tonight should be really good but it costs $85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I find it hard to get past the lack of a live audience. I've seen episodes of Countdown with a more exciting atmosphere than the last UFC event I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Ideally, you'd have fans cheering, but without being tossers. Unfortunately, combat sport crowds consist of many unpleasant characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen episodes of Countdown with a more exciting atmosphere than the last UFC event I saw. I’m absolutely loving UFC events since the restart. The lack of shitty audience sounds (wooing, and the worst being chanting “USA” for every white fighter facing a non-white fighter) plus the cage being 25 feet instead of the usual 30 has led to much more exciting fights, especially at the prelims level as the lack of high level fighters from overseas has led to many mismatches. That causes a lot more exciting finishes. I hope we never get live audiences back for MMA. The crowd shots are always super cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I completely missed it but I don't remember MMA fans chanting USA like....ever unless maybe it was a USA fighter they were cheering for, and even then I'm not sure that's the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 The USA thing does happen, but isn’t super common. And in all fairness, I can’t recall it ever happening other than when an American fought a non American, irrespective of ethnicity on either side. No different to the Brazilian vs non Brazilian crowds during South American shows. And as much as I am enjoying it as it currently is, I personally do miss going along to shows. I’ve missed two Cage Warriors shows since April, and I fully cannot wait until they open these back up. I am also well aware that this makes me a hypocrite. Don’t care.

It's happened a bunch of times, either a non-American white fighter fighting a fighter that isn't white, or two Americans but because one of them isn't white, they must be foreign scum to MMA fans because most MMA fans are a bunch of shitty assholes. The most recent one I can recall is the Kamaru / Colby fight. Also, holy shit, what a D'arce by Amirkhani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
