PBP UFC on ESPN 28: Hall vs. Strickland - PBP Discussion: 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT

[Elvis.]

Honest question, this card & the Bellator card on at the same time , where does this rank as far as best night of free fights ?

 

[Ares Black]

Well my casual buddy just texted me asking about Buys.

Maybe the Co-main gamble paid off.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Should go both ways.

Nah, striker should obviously get the benefit of the doubt either way.

If a strike lands legally, who cares when it was thrown. If a strike lands illegally, why should a striker be penalized because his opponent gets his hand down quickly?

 

[Kaynan]

Ok so it was technically illegal. The rule is still dumb

 

[Gio]

Just in time for the main event. Let's go guys!

[Pequeño Corey]

what a pity party

Stop talking about broke-ness..

She mentioned that she just bought a house. Given the current market, she most certainly overpaid. And you know that her parasite husband isn’t contributing anything. Onlyfans incoming.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Main event is next right?

Yes

 

[PokerMage]

man i like both guys more then Ngannou.

just want a good fight. a spectacular KO from lewis or a clinic by Gane

 

[Jose Beehive]

Bobby Green and Fiziev? Intriguing-- is Fiziev getting thrown a softball or does Bobby have what it takes to steal the hype?

It is intriguing cos I always think Fiziev can end a fight at any moment, but Green has only been finished 4 times in 39 fights, and only 2 of those times were by TKO/KO... Live dog perhaps, but i'm thinking Fiziev has enough.

Not gonna overlap with pitbull McKee either

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Just call the guy Cyril with an R. That's how we say Rs around here. Anik calling him "Cy-del" just sounds patronizing.

 

[cooljay1622]

going with strickland because hall is never mentally 100 percent.

 

[10mm]

Yeah.

It was perfectly calculated or a total leap of faith, but extremely close to being illegal. .05 second earlier and her hand would still be touching the ground, therefore being a illegal strike.

But thats the chance you take fighting. Most fighters dont get up like this. There is your reason. If she would have stopped getting up, she may have missed the kick. Cant tell the future as much as I would love to be able to. Cant penalize on what might happen.

 

[El Fernas]

Nah, striker should obviously get the benefit of the doubt either way.

If a strike lands legally, who cares when it was thrown. If a strike lands illegally, why should a striker be penalized because his opponent gets his hand down quickly?

The thrown point its exactly the argument they use to make ilegally landed punches legal...its exactly my point, they should be penalized for what they do judging the conditions at the moment of throwing.

That's legal. That's not weight bearing.

 

[MGS]

One hand touching the ground doesn't count as downed anymore.

I stand corrected. At first I was like okay that's a grey area, but you guys are right, I need to slow down of the liquor

 

[TempleoftheDog]

She mentioned that she just bought a house. Given the current market, she most certainly overpaid. And you know that her parasite husband isn’t contributing anything. Onlyfans incoming.

The weird part for me is that she’s married. Everything she said was I did this, I did that. Not we.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Apparently some people here would actually rather see a fighter DQd after getting a head kick KO because the opponent had a finger or two touching the mat. SMDH

 

[Kaynan]

That's legal. That's not weight bearing.

The “weight bearing” nonsense further highlights how arbitrary and dumb the hand rule is
