OT: WWE/MMA/Boxing Thread

Yeah she’s in a class of her own. Absolute domination

It's partially her, and partially how thin the talent is in the women's divisions.

Volkanovski's entire game plan is predicated on winning rounds by extremely slim margins. I can't remember the last time I saw him actually have someone in trouble, or attempt to finish a fight.

 

[MindzEye]

I'll give Volk a ton of credit in that round, how he didn't tap is incredible.

 

[Deckie007]

Holy shit. How did Volkanovski get out of those subs?

No clue, and Ortega is gassed AF now.

 

[MindzEye]

Volk's gas tank is stupid

 

[Deckie007]

Incredible fight. Ortega might be too tough for his own good

 

[MindzEye]

48-47 Volk but probably 49-46. I've got round 3 & 5 for Ortega though.

Max almost killed him and dude kept coming. Yeah, he's ridiculous.

 

[MindzEye]

50-45 and 50-44 are terrible scorecards.

Put some motherfucking respect on Volkanovski's name. Yeesh. What a performance.

dont agree about round 3, that visual at the end of the round after Volk laid a beating on him was something that overturned the two sub attempts

Ortega out struck him for most of the round, knocked him down and almost subbed him twice. 30 seconds of effective ground and pound doesn't change that. "The visual" shouldn't matter when scoring a round. I agree that it matters, often too much, which is why ineffective lay and pray wrestling still wins rounds regularly, but it shouldn't according to the scoring rules of UFC.

The way the rule is written: "Effective Striking/Grappling shall be considered the first priority of round assessments." Ortega won 4 of the 5 minutes of the round dominantly. Volk won the 5th minute dominantly.

AIn't gonna complain, that's a great fight.

Just flipped it on when the last fight before the co-main ended. Can't wait for MVP-Lima.

2 punches landed in the first round, 2 minutes in...both knockdowns ffs.

MVP's wrist control from the bottom is loony good, wtf.
