46-49 50-45 49-46 for Strickland. The motherfucker going 46-49 for Costa needs to see an optometrist.

Edit: The name's Dave Tirelli, I went back to Lima-Raposo and he did the same lmao

How much energy does Poirier waste pulling his fucking shorts up constantly

It really is 'tism v 'tism the fight, Islam is 100% on the spectrum and as much as I want to hate the guy he's just organically, endearingly funny.

Welp, that's it, bro's subbed.

When his forehead opened up I considered crossposting to the monkey torture thread but he still came out on top. Good for him. As boring as it is to watch two dudes thumb wrestle in a figure 4 for twenty five minutes, I can't fault him for doing what works and staying true to the spirit of the Gracie BJJ infomercial.

A fitting start to pride month.


At first I thought he was taunting Islam by showing him the cross on his thigh but I think he's just autistic.

if you watch all of dustin's fights, he does this CONSTANTLY its pretty much a tourettes tic he has. I can't connect it to being a tell to any of his movements as much as just being a waste of time, energy, delay of positioning, and possibly creating an unnecessary opening.

I think someone asked about it recently, and he said he wasn't even aware of doing it, so yeah, it's a tic.
 
I went four for five in the picks would have gone five for five if I had bet my head instead of my heart. But at least my boy Dustin made Islam work for his money last night.

I will also take the stunning and brave position of defending Sean Strickland. I love to watch him fight because he exposes how much of so-called MMA boxing is complete bullshit. His style of fighting pretty much prohibits other guys from getting out of the blocks and getting their rhythm going. And Sean does not have pillow hands. You saw it with Izzy you saw it with Dricus and you saw it last night with Costa, Sean has these guys gunshy about getting in the pocket with him.

If you want to get ripped by round 2, take a drink every time he does this during a fight
 
Paulo "The Holo" Costa's hair density is a physical manifestation of his health bar. You can see it grow progressively thinner and thinner as the damage taken during a fight accumulates. If he were to get knocked out cold, he'd become completely bald before his body hit the canvas.

Stopped reading there.

More seriously, in an ideal world, he'd be a gatekeeper, and not a former champion on the cusp of getting another title shot.

The actual gatekeepers at Middleweight are Whittaker and Cannonier.

The only MW who could arguably jump the line ahead of Sean is Khamzat Chimaev.

Dana's skill at ventriloquism continues to impress me. How a man manages to say as much as he does with Jon Jones' balls in his mouth must have taken years of practice in regards to Islam not being the best P4P fight in UFC while Jones is still 'active.'

I'd pay to see a Dana vs. Rogan main event where the winner gets Costa's stapled on toupee as a permanent crown. Nah but for real though, Damon Jackson's hair job looks way less fucked up you can do better Paulo. It looks like he got a transplant from a dude who was already balding.
 
Oh did he actually get the transplant? I sort of thought he did, but since it still looks thin I figured he must not have lol

Think it’s a mental reset. He probably got it from years of doing wars. Funny thing is now have guys like Sandhagen seeing sports psychs and these psychs telling them to have a tic in the fight to centre themselves - his is stretching his arms wide.

So many fighters with these small tics.
-Dustin pulling up shorts
-Whittaker touching the back of his front leg with his rear foot.
-Topuria touching his nose on the reset.
-Fiziev running his hand through his hair…even when he’s bald.
-Dillashaw touching his forehead, particularly if he’s going to do his particular brand of wrestling shot.

Mak’s boxing looked pretty good tbh. Nice.
