Alex Pereira Saved UFC 303 Again (Terrible PPV Reaction/Rant)

Ayy man listen today I give my immediate post-fight reactions and breakdown of UFC 303 Pereira vs Prochazka 2 which got SAVED by Alex Pereira's win over Jiri Prochazka and by Dan Ige vs Diego Lopes in place of Brian The Eagle Ortega (who wouldve won) because otherwise.. man.. this video is just a big rant about Anthony Smith vs Roman Dolidze, Mayra Bueno Silva vs Macy Chiasson's early stoppage and the terribly boring fight of MVP vs Ian Garry. Outside of that, I give my reaction to Payton Talbott's insane KO, Joe Pyfer, Jean Silva, Michelle Waterson retirement and the rest of the prelims which were actually great. Let me know YOUR thoughts down below and make sure to drop a like, subscribe for fights to make after UFC 303 and follow me on ig/twitter ‪@bedtimemma‬

Anthony Smith losing to a journeyman middleweight is such an Anthony Smith moment

[@Koskesh666]

Dolidze is good, hes had one or two mediocre performances, but when he shows up he shows up. Kinda like a younger Anthony Smith. Anthony smith basically lost to a middleweight Anthony Smith😊

[@MartialArtsNk]

Anthony Smith though is a middleweight AND light heavyweight journeyman, the ultimate journeyman.

[@MartialArtsNk]

@@Koskesh666 No he's not mate, he's always damn low level. He's lucky he got to avoid most of the good opponents, especially power punchers. He's dreadful, in most areas. Like man talks about being top 10 in 2 weight classes, he ain't even top 10 in 1 weight class legitimately. Feed him to somebody solid entering the rankings.

The only reason washed up Smith lost is not cause he's washed, but cause Bedtime MMA cursed him to lose by picking him to win. And a shame for Ige, negative fight IQ. Is a real G though as he saved that co-main event on 4 hour notice so can't hate him, but that's why I'm pissed. Man could have won via KO easily in round 3 but chose to go to the ground.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE. the wmma fight was actually pretty entertaining and that cut was brutal, cant complain about it. garry vs mvp was a snoozefest. mvp has no ground game and ian garry cannot compete on the feet with mvp. all this tells me is garry at this moment would get pieced up by jdm or leon edwards and mvp would absolutely brutalise wonderboy and ko him stiff if they ever fought. overall a 6.5/10. if it wasn’t for the main event ending the way it did this would genuinely be like a 3/10.
