UFC 236: Holloway vs. Poirier 2 (April 13, 2019)

[G Trooper]

He wasn't that big of an underdog... If everyone had him he would have been an even bigger favorite. How are you supposed to downplay a victory before a fight? It's not a huge upset at all. Both are great fighters. If lionheart would have beat jon jones that would have shocked the world. Demetrious johnson losing to cejudo shocked the world.

You just sound upset. But at least today you are coherent. Have a good day!

[Sanity Check]

Khabib scored the main event the same way I did: draw.

There might've been collusion between judges and russians they need to look into 49-46 was not a good score.

I didn't enjoy the co main or main that much. The fights were exciting. Adesanya and Holloway fought below their level imo. Not the best of performances from either of them.

No, just stating facts. Are you not coherent? Is that why you are saying he shocked the world? Not a huge upset at all imo. Or do you think poirer is a bad fighter since he shocked the world in your eyes?

Yeah no way in hell should that have been 49-46. Adensanya i think fought more impressive than when he fought silva. Holloway did fight worse thatln against ortega. Poirer just hits so hard.

This is why I used the phrase dude...

I have a family and kids and it’s sunday at the masters. Plenty other things for me to do than have a keyboard war with you... get over it.. you lost a bet (something you should be used to lol) and now you upset. I get it. You can now proceed to name calling and what not, like you usually do. I’m not gonna respond to your foolishness again.. like I said. Have a nice day!

[PaperTrail07]

Worst card for me in YEARS....could not have whiffed harder and then got red ****** in the Jouban fight....SMH....big $ loss for PAPER

[PaperTrail07]

Like Brandon Davis at 135----rooster_eater was 160!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at fight time....that's MADNESS....

DP was the much bigger man.. Like a 10 pound difference from what I saw.. The bigger man connects with punches yes he's gonna rock the smaller man..

I don't know what was up with that? Looked like DP was a weight division up in this fight.. Max still got rocked and hung in there.. RSPK!!!

Love to know what they both weighed in when they stepped in that octagon tonight?

I saw what I saw and that's my take.. Max Holloway looked tiny in there against DP and that's why he was getting rocked with every punch..

[PaperTrail07]

Weird--was wondering myself-I got the W on it

had krylov over 1.5 rounds. resulted a loss. fight was stopped at 2.30. its a 2 way market, shouldnt that be a push?

[PaperTrail07]

Agree----these BOXING judges need their penetrating head checked....without JOUBAN there is no penetrating FIGHT.....Grant walked backwards the ENTIRE fight and they were 50/50 on strikes......its an absolute ROBBERY there.....Grant is VERY LUCKY Jouban walked forward for the fans bc his skill attacking are GARBAGE----nothing but a counter fighter than needs a dumb fighter to swing wild to connect.....apparently attacking the whole time means nothing...

That was a judging robbery black man won though.. I really though Jouban was the aggressor and won that...

[PaperTrail07]

100% my man.....what a penetrating laughable decision.......these boxing judges need educated.....absolute idiots...

Yeah. A clown having to chase down a dude who has all this "universally feared" power, but is apparently terrified to stand and bang. Jouban was trying to engage the entire fight. Grant just spent 14+ minutes moving backwards. Considering the fight was a technical chess match and overall was basically even; with the takedown and two or three bombs at the very end, and with the cage control (for 14+ minutes...) Jouban just got robbed IMO. Grant literally landed about 5 significant strikes and spent the rest of the fight scurrying around trying to evade Jouban. If anything, the most realistic result would've been a draw.

Ok that explains that part, my bad on that. What does having a family and kids have to do with anything? You are just an air better troll. So don't talk about money, you broke. Plenty of other things for me to do as well. I was wrong on 2 fights. Had anders and holloway. Was right on krylov, adensanya and dwight. Have a greaT day and go play in traffic, thanks buddy

[slikec]

Just watched postfight and Adesanya looked banged up badly uffff. Both fights amazing. What a chin on Max. Omg most would be out and he didnt even get knocked down- amazing! Cant wait for both unification fights!

Actually you must be confused, I didn't say jack about skin color. I said I think it's bs that an American born citizen comes to the ring playing another (rival) country's music in a different language. Ur the forum idiot though so no one is surprised.

Fkking idiot what took you so long. 2 More people confirmed what kind of shitbag of a racist piece of shit you are after my initial response. Wanna start a poll about who's the idiot? Useless fkk. Do you even bet on sports?

Yup Paper, I was happy to win that fight but I saw that as a complete robbery.. I was like what a gift. ..

Both Max and Gas displayed serious chin strength in those fights.. Most fighters would have been slept taking those clean shots..

[Enfuego]

Yeah thought it was 48-47 but I think the right man won.

Round 5 was 10-8 Stylebender.

[Thrilla]

1.5 episodes into the embedded series watching now and if I had to pick based on this alone it would be Poirier and Adesanya.

Not feeling the will for revenge from Holloway and also Gastelum isn't giving me the energy of someone who's motivated. On the other hand Poirier's word usage and energy tells me he's on a mission. Haven't seen Adesanya yet....Will finish watching.

The importance of pre-fight media proven once again.

[bjpenn85]

You get better price with Israel who has a million centimeter of reach and wont get taken down, to MUUUUUUUCH cheaper price, how can anyone even risking money on Holloway when you got gold just next to it?

Blown away, get a grip people.

Told ya...

[bjpenn85]

Holloway is the man, but cant bet him at those odds imo. Dustion Poirier is also very tuf, and he has power, so this may be a fakking sweat if youre thinking about going heavy on Holloway. This def has upset potenial. I think Holloway is the better fighter, but i dont think hes that much better that im willing to bet money at this price. Since the odds say that Holloway should win 7/10 times, is there room for a bet here? Do you mean he should win 8/10? Im not convinced.

I tried hard....

[Thrilla]

I won close to $836k this event.

Round 5 was 10-8 Stylebender.

Oh yeah it definitely was. I was referring to the Main Event. I had it 48-47 Poirier not 49-46 like all three judges.
