I wasn't even going to make the post.

But I'm page 1, post 1 namesake of this MMA shitposting thing. I'll be damned if I don't hit Post Reply on some bullshit-- I'm not going out easy.

Lol I'm glad you feel fulfilled jayrebb.

All credit to Usman. I will never talk bad about the guy being boring ever again.

Wideman leg getting trashed is one of the most karmic examples of mma gods existing. It's why we love sports.

The sport truly is treacherous. That's why when you see such a dominant figure, like an Usman, who is so fucking calm and so smooth, it really makes you respect what they are doing even more.

Anyone can get headkicked into oblivion, anyone can gumby their leg. It takes only a second for a career to be over. Yet some of these guys make it look easy.

Also, Masvidal looked way better on a week's notice.

I can't believe what I watched. Holy shit....

What a shot. it literally looks like a piece of art. It looks like CG sweat. What a fucking punch. Thats the type of strike you have to land to knock Jorge out.

And whats even more insane is Usman straight bullied him with that entire action. He used his left hand to literally parry/slap Masvidals blocking hand before the right hand came down the pipe. Then finishes it off with a fucking shoulder shrug to push Masvidal's corpse off of him. He knocked the fucking wet off that boy. He disconnected him from reality.

and he pummeled his head off the matt for good measure. herb Dean trash.

Look how far ol Herb is from the exchange. At that point you need to be closer.

Someone should make a montage of herb Dean letting someone get punched unnecessarily after getting knocked down. It would be a video like 2 minutes long.

Also, inc on the Masvidal KO memes. I can picture someone putting a baseball hat on him with a bat in his hand like he just struck out etc.

Jorge was riding a bit too high off of his Askren destruction. He did tool Diaz as well, but eventually that energy comes back for you. The MMA gods are truly cruel.
