Ouch. That's exactly where the nanosecond fighter reaction of "Fuck this guy, I don't accept that this is happening" really bites you in the ass. If that grip is really on you just have to bail from everything to protect your arm.

Nah. Your opponent doesn't tap to a joint lock in professional MMA, what are you supposed to do other than carry it to completion? Broken arm guy literally put himself in that position by kicking off the cage and trying to turn in and stand from inside an Americana, and he had at least a full second to reconsider or tap if he wanted to. Instead he just tried to ego through a locked-in submission attack.

I'm fucking stoked for the Tuivasa fight. Mostly because I'm interested in seeing how Gane will deal with a guy he won't be able to just kick to death. Tuivasa has a monster chin and definitely doesn't "wait" out his opponent.

Also pretty excited for the Whittaker v. Vettori fight. Especially since it'll be a 3 rounder.

See, I don't roll so all I saw the first few times I watched it, was just 'dude breaking another dudes arm'

I had to go back and and watch it several times. Then I saw that he was already attacking the arm before the other guy tried to breakdance his way out of danger. But I definitely didn't grasp the entirety of the situation at first.

I didn't get some sort of Rousimar Palhares vibe or anything. But I could definitely see where Pavao was put into a position to either let go, or hold on and keep the hold while Downer tried to escape. Which does seem like a shitty situation that did NOT turn out very well for Downer.

Unless Izzy just gives up, retires, etc. there is no fucking way he'd lose to a guy like Till. Hell, Till got crushed by both Brunson AND Whittaker. Bisping is smoking crack.

Tuivasa is on fire right now. All his stops are Rd1 Rd2 latest.

I feel bad this is Gane's comeback fight after losing a shot at the belt.

Yeah I think the odds are a little fucked up. Vegas isn't giving Tuivasa any credit. He's for sure on fire. I did put a hundo on Tuivasa to win by knock out because he won't win by a decision.

If you take Volkov and Jairzinho away from Gane's wins he hasn't done that much more than Tai has.

But he's a proven himself to be an elite point-fighter, on a level that is far above everyone else in the division. So I get it.

Now neither fighter, Gane nor Tuivasa, had a fight with Curtis Blaydes. That annoys me if this is supposed to be for top contender.
