MMA-UFC UFC Fight Night / UFC on Fox Events

Those right head kicks were a thing of beauty

Hopefully Swanson can shut Lobov up, for a bit at least. McGregor's one thing, but his teammates doing cheap imitations is so bad.

Lobov stands basically no chance here, unless that ridiculous fight with Choi knocked everything Swanson had left out of him. Swanson wins easily if he's still the same fighter he was against Choi. Choi hits a lot harder than Lobov and is a far more skilled striker (offensively at least). What a crap main event. It pays to be McGregor's buddy protégé lol.

Upsets are no different in MMA compared to other sports but I'd be legitimately shocked if Artem came out victorious over Cub. Artem with his record really shouldn't be in the UFC but his grabbing his opportunity....so fair play to him.

At least he's not as bad as Danis yet. That guy's never even worn gloves and thinks he's running things in Bellator. I hope Shields whoops him in their grappling comp that is coming up.

Anyone watching the prelims. A pretty impressive come back from Moreno

 

[Adzam]

wow that was scary

 

[brendan84]

Holy ******* s**t, what a KO!

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

WOW! That was an impressive sub.. just controlling the body and pressing the shoulder into the throat. Would be interested what someone with BJJ says about that.

 

[RU_]

Had no idea what the hell was going on with that sub.

Von flue choke. I only learned about them last week in my mma class so pretty cool to see one

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

From Twitter, seems that was more an indictment on De Limas ground game rather than impressive from OSP.

I take it De Lima persisting holding onto the head was what made it possible? Don't you ideally want to clasp the hands together to create the pressure or am I thinking of something else?

In that case yeah but I think the idea is to kinda get your head in deep under the opponents arm so they can't get it out. When I did it we only spent a few minutes on it and I don't think I quite had it right. Bjj guys would have a better idea

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

This should be a barn burner. Really excited for this.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Wowee.

 

[Adzam]

I like how it was pretty much the same punch that knocked him down the first time used again to finish the fight

 

[Adzam]

I love Cub and he is mostly likely going to win but I'm pretty tempted to chuck $5 in Artem. Paying 5.10 on Sportsbet

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

That line from artem in reply to Cub saying he has more Russian fans.. "I guess that means you'll have a pretty big funeral"

Brilliant.

Artem is clearly out matched when it comes to mma but I got a feeling Cub will stand with him which gives Artem his only chance.. and it's not a bad one.

 

[Gigantic]

Did one of the announcers say that this was one of Cub's toughest fight thus far? Or did I hear wron?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

lobov is asking to be knocked out

 

[Gigantic]

Lol, another 2 rounds of punishment please

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Artem getting LIT up.

 

[Gigantic]

Hopefully there are no more main events for Lobov, ever again

 

[Dan]

Didn't think it would go the distance.....Artem's tough.

How good was that spinning elbow.
