Haven't been this excited about a UFC fight in a while. I've got to hand it to Dana White, he did it. Fight island. I think that is so cool and what it must have took and cost is incredible. But he pulled it off. It's like Enter the Dragon and Dana is a modern day Han without the drug dealing and surrounded by hotter women.

What a thrill and honor it must be for the fighters to be the first to compete in this venue designed just for UFC fighters.

You have to give credit where credit is due. This is some legacy for Dana. When there were just too many restrictions he just gave it the finger and created his own fight island.

Fight Island sure is a special move.

Impressive.

Will watch (whilst typing with one hand and fantasizing about Hairy Chest Henda)

I've been happy with all the cards since they returned. Tomorrow night should be great. Masvidal looked pretty good at the weigh in. I think he was in better shape than he let on. I heard he was in camp with Dustin Poirier. I still can't see him beating Usman but he'll be competitive for a couple rounds at least.

Something will probably come up and it won’t happen...

Why would a Bench be a hinder for this event?

They could just move it.

He's been under the radar for so long that I've just recently started paying attention to him. I like the brash but personable Cuban. He has a lot of good one-liners that he doesn't intend it to be. Also, it helps that, like the vast majority of Cubans who know what Socialism and Communism is like first hand, he's a Republican and Trump supporter. Also, he's a legit badass and fought in some of those Kimbo inspired backyard brawls not afraid to be surrounded by street nigs as he's throwing hands against one of their
brothers, in a couple of fights against a Kimbo Slice protege, where the crowd was against, if not hostile, to him. That takes some balls.

Usman is a beast and I have him as the favorite but I'm rooting for Game Bred.

I like Jorge and will definitely be watching, as he always puts on a good fight. I'm not sure however if a 20lb weight cut in less than a week was a good idea however. If he even thought he had a fight possibly coming up, he should have been in slightly better shape coming up to it.

Dana has handled the Coronavirus shutdown better than any other sports commissioner. These UFC events every week have been fun to watch and there is no competition from any other sport.

Jorge's gonna get 'rag-dolled' for 5 rounds....50-45 for Usman.

Yes, idk how anyone can drop weight that quickly, maybe he's fasting, that's not a good idea, I still think Masvidal wins

Unless the person is 500lbs+, neither do I. The average person who is in decent shape (like Jorge was when he was 192), you would think they would have a hard time dropping more than 8 lbs in a week.

OneMoreRep · « **Reply #12 on:** July 11, 2020, 06:04:43 PM »

I hope Masvidal brought in the best wrestler in the UFC (Yoel Romero) to help him train. Romero's wrestling (if ever used) puts every wrestler in the UFC to shame, have heard Cormier say that a few times.

"1"

If I was close by I’d buy Quarter Pounders and Blue Moon and have you over to practice roundhouse kicks while watching!

In the first link dont click on the play button in the small box but scroll down and use the big play button..before you hit it close the little image of masvidal or usmans face with the little red x above it after 3 to 4 seconds.

I usually go back and forth between the two links just incase one of them cuts out.

I tried the first one and it wanted an email address, so I said f*ck it! lol I'll give it another try.

The second link has worked perfect and is crystal clear, but no chromecast.

That ref is the 2020 version of Mazzagatti! I'm no bleeding heart, and I love to see a brutal K.O or even a solid ass whooping, but that last minute was fucking painful to watch as a fan of Aldo.

He should never ref a fight again. If the guy is turtled it should be stopped. Never mind the shots he took with his arms pinned.
