UFC 259: Blachowicz vs. Adesanya (March 06, 2021)

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:00 PM

Cmon Joe hang in there. I need Askarov by decision to set me up in good position for my heavy heavy outlay on Izzy

**Hugo de Naranja** · 03-06-21, 09:01 PM

Awesome performance from Askarov. He looked a step ahead in all phases and improved over what he's shown before. Benavidez unfortunately looked much slower than he's been. Seems like those Fig fights took a lot out of him.

At least Joe B gets to go home and have Megan Olivi practice submissions on him

DC actually made a decent point during the fight that a lot of these Dagestani fighters are a step ahead on their opposition's next move. Such an impressive performance from Askarov to keep Joe down for so long in the first round shows real skill.

You're way off here. Joe has fought, competed with, and beat the best that division has to offer. He's 36 years old. I think you're just jealous he's bedding Megan every night.

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:10 PM

Let's go. Yadong KO would be beautiful here.

Who’s not?!! lol

**frankieunits2685** · 03-06-21, 09:12 PM

Like Anik just said, Yadong didn't even flinch from that head kick!

GL. I've Nunes R3 and o1.5 in that fight myself. Hoping that motherhood has withdrawn some of the ruthlessness of the Lioness 😂

**hankcream** · 03-06-21, 09:13 PM

Phillips looks a lot bigger than Song

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:15 PM

Really hope Phillips tires from here on out. Song has eaten some big shots.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 03-06-21, 09:17 PM

Live Betting:
K. Phillips (-125) 0.85u to win 0.68u after R1

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:21 PM

Damn these take downs from Phillips are killing me.

Phillips moving much quicker than I expected. Song can't get a rhythm going.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 03-06-21, 09:22 PM

2-0 Phillips. Yadong needs a finish.

**hankcream** · 03-06-21, 09:22 PM

Phillips is slick as shit, if he wins this & has another good fight he should be at least top 10

**JIBBBY** · 03-06-21, 09:29 PM

Always bet on black and Asian fade theories in the UFC working tonight so far. Hope it holds up with Sterling and Izzy now.

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:29 PM

Not really sure what Yadong was thinking there lying on top of Phillips the last 60 seconds but hey ho.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 03-06-21, 09:29 PM

Nice performance for Phillips.

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:30 PM

I swear I've never benefitted from a robbery decision. Only one I can think of is Volk in Volk Max 2 but that was close.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 03-06-21, 09:30 PM

I'm getting wrecked this event

**JIBBBY** · 03-06-21, 09:31 PM

That Asian dude has a chin though. RSPK!!!

The Donger came to fight for sure even with the loss!!

It was the late take down in the 2nd round that won him the fight annoyingly

Agreed. Smart from Phillips to wrestle late and seal rounds.

**Sanity Check** · 03-06-21, 09:32 PM

Yadong "The Terminator" Song was at his best when Justin Buccholz was TAM head coach.

He's gotten worse since then, same with Cody Garbrandt and the rest of TAM.

**unitedlad** · 03-06-21, 09:33 PM

Cruz by Decision next. Casey has been winning fights by being Cruz Lite. Now he's facing the slap move king.

I got Cruz by decision next also.. Stick and move and win by points is what he does best.. Just hope he's not to old and washed up now.. This fight is sketchy. I'm with ya on this..

Added Hedge:
Kenney Decision (+195) 0.5u

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 03-06-21, 09:40 PM

With a chin like that, I don't know why he didn't go apeshit in the 3rd

**Sanity Check** · 03-06-21, 09:40 PM

Henry Cejudo and TJ Dillashaw showed the blueprint to counter Dominick Cruz's fancy feet.

"Leg kicks."

Dominick Cruz's hands & punching technique look improved to me for this fight, over his previous fights.

Not certain who wins this 1. Should be good.
