[@nickscarla-tl9xp]

Islam vs Poirier had the same vibe as Bo nikal vs Brundage. We expected such a dominant performance and fast finish, we were kinda let down - even tho they both we’re technically dominant the whole fight and both got finishes..

[@andrewcrockett3343]

Sorry, if your arm snaps you lose the fight. It’s UFC, it’s not a medieval battlefield. There are some limits and rules

[@galaxyvulture6649]

Guru and lucas are absolutely stupid for this take. Like all it would do is make the injury worse and harder to recover from.

[@coltizz]

Yee this was a really stupid take. Kevin still had the arm locked up and was cranking on it when it’s already broken. Yes you definitely get permanent dmg as-well as ripping of ligaments bending an already broken arm 90 degrees in the wrong way.

[@somealias-zs1bw]

By that logic they should have called it off BEFORE his arm was broken. What's the point of waiting for the break and THEN stopping the fight? Literally adding insult to injury.

[@galaxyvulture6649]

@@somealias-zs1bw Bc if you ever read the rule book it clearly states breaks from submissions are treated as technical submissions. Holding on to the joint like palharess will just cause far more damage and it can even be permanent. Should the fight continue till your opponent is unconscious? Should tkos be banned since they still can fight?

[@coltizz]

@@somealias-zs1bw They seem to miss the point. They let the fighters fight it out during the submission, and it’s up to the fighter to tap if he don’t want his arm to get broken, the ref won’t stop the fight until it broken because it’s their job to give the fighter every opportunity to escape. And it’s good they stop the fight when it’s broken especially in a case like this when Kevin is continuing to cranking on it, that can really give you permanent dmg and rip apart the ligaments in your arm.

[@bornmenu]

exactly, the key to beating strickland is to just keep punching and going forward even if your not landing. Just like what ddp did, Strickland doesn't have any step back counters or any type of offense off of the backfoot because he's too busy defending and his stance is just not in the position to counter. But I guess costa didn't see that and tried to fight off the backfoot and outstrike strickland like an idiot. You have to keep pushing strickland back

[@drewmorg.]

Strickland has the standup version of Dagestani wrestling on the ground. It's effective and dominant but not exciting to watch. He is so defensively sound that he gives zero opportunity for opponent to throw at all. You know Sean can punch harder and that's what makes it frustrating. He enjoys watching the man's eyes wilt slowly instead of hurting them badly. He's a torturer not an executioner.

Am I the only one that thinks Hafez vs Gall should’ve been FOTN? The main event was tense and exciting but it was mostly just Dustin defending takedowns. While Hafez and Gall had an actual war.

[@PughMMA]

Oleksiejczuk posted after the fight that his arm wasn’t broken. You can’t break your arm from an armbar. (Mir is an exception because he’s a heavyweight and didn’t have it fully sunk in when he hipped into it.) You can only dislocate it, which only tears the UCL. By that logic, Poirier should’ve been TSed because he tore his ACL stuffing a takedown.

Islam is absolutely underrated at striking but to say he is top 10 is a lil sus. His striking is automatically made 50 percent more effective just. Y the fact that ppl are terrified to grapple with him. His opponents are splitting their attention into two separate threats so simple striking set his will work much easier for Islam. I’m not knocking him I agree they are not boring and he’s a great striker.

They need to get rid of these teemu quality gloves. Not a single fight ended in a finish, islam's gloves fell apart at the end of the fight, dustin and islam got cut from them, they're unisex so they're terrible for women fighters, they're UGLY, and they invalid the whole reason of getting them since theyre were several eye pokes still. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be fired like the referee for the randy brown fight (he didnt give the full 5 minutes for eye pokes).
