@@oldashfifa Max was up on the cards, so it was crazy for him to throw down with seconds left. Incredible knockout. However, Yair was going to lose the fight and he somehow knocked out his opponent with an elbow at literally the last second. Also, I struggle to even describe how he threw the elbow. It was like backwards and upwards. Insane.

[@oldashfifa]

@@michaelrockhold7933 that’s an argument for why Yair’s was better but still it’s the kind of moment that can (rarely) be replicated. And I’m saying that not to be contrarian but as a compliment to this great sport that can produce moments like this. Close enough I’d say.

[@FAMIB]

The way Izzy lured Poatan in and then finished him was just masterful.

He couldve pushed him off and potentially caused more damage while he was nearly unconscious by slamming his head off the canvas or whatever. Sportsmanship on full display there. Ref did great as well. Communication to both fighters.

[@OnMicMMA]

I have never noticed what Paul craig actually did to be so good at the triangle. Most people try to throw up both legs. Paul didn't do that. He caught him with one leg. The left leg was at the right angle and fast enough that Anky was already cooked. Its crazy how gracefully the right leg comes in to synch it up. RIP Paul Craig, your still my boy.

​@wtfiswrong1h lmao you goofball you act like Alex didn't get saved by the ref and saved by the bell - like the detail and nuances of the fights don't matter. Noob casual thinking. The fn detail is izzy landed on Alex first each time and he wasn't getting out on his own. You know what all those silly sports analysts and statisticians in the silly lil usd $240 billion sports industry think? They had izzy as a decent favourite despite being "0-3" leading into 287 - cause it was obvious izzy finds Perieras chin, just to avoid him being saved again. And what happened at 287?
