UFC 280: Oliveira vs. Makhachev (October 22, 2022)

**KVB** · 10-22-22, 01:15 PM

Well, here it is.

Last week we saw Herb Dean stall out to the buzzer, twice, but that certainly didn't happen here.

Early Stoppage? You decide...

- Brady got smashed. Early stoppage or not he wasn't winning that fight.

**KVB** · 10-22-22, 01:21 PM

He was bobbin' and weavin' but gettin' clocked.

I'm guessing if the ref had heard the 10 second claps, if just a few more seconds had passed, he might have waited it out.

I'm guessing.

Islam by KO rd 5. Let’s go.

Who the fukk put Belal vs Brady to prelims and this women's horseshit to the main card?

Yeah, #5 vs #8 was a prelim main event?

I wondered about that too.

That wasn't and early stoppage. Right call in my opinion. Its time for Brady and Sabatini to get the hell out of that camp. I hope Daniel Gracies big fat ego finally took a hit. Who even won a fight getting backed into the cage repeatedly. Their boxing coach blows. Absolutely no answers and Belal looked like he was in a weight class higher than Brady jeez. I don't think a lead pipe could have stopped him. Almost like a guy on roids against one clean. He had absolutely no fear. He deserves a title shot. I thought Leon was beating him in their first fight but i thought Brady was winning this one also. who knows how the Leon Edwards fight would have gone.

These non-title women's fight's purpose is to get the audiences' dopamine levels to the base level so that regular men's fights can be exciting, imo.

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 01:42 PM

Whoever calls Belal vs Brady an early stoppage is either
a) sour because he lost money
b) is butthurt that his white boy lost
c) is a UFC casual
d) all of the above

Personally I was really surprised that Belal didn't take this to the ground at all. Who expected that especially after Belal spent his training camp with the Dagestani boys? Like him or not but Belal finally deserves to fight for the title or at least be a serious contender. (same goes for Beneil) That dumbfukk Masvidal got several title fights and hasn't beaten anyone in years. If it wasn't for that fluke knee kick against that stupid dumbass Ben Asscream, Masvidal probably be cut by the UFC already.

Maybe Belal was a little intimidated.

All we heard about was how strong Brady is.

Belal got the job done, maybe didn't need to risk going to the ground. The takedown defenses were definitely confidence builders, he did a good job there.

Good fight to watch.

Would have loved to see round two but it could have just been more of the same.

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 01:45 PM

Unless a title fight no women's fight should make the main card, in my opinion. But that is something that will never happen I know.

I have Gamrot next. Lets go.

I think it was Khabib motivating/forcing him to go for the finish. Without Khabib cornering him, Belal might have gone for the takedown (when Brady was whobbling) imo. Was definitely not the snooze fest we probably all expected.

Had no money on Brady and don't give a fukk he is white. And definitely not a casual. Hence, E) None of the above

Sounds like you won some money. Good for you

**KVB** · 10-22-22, 01:57 PM

Yeah, Kahn is not casual and we've seen some questionable "non stoppages" recently.

If Brady had taken a couple more punches and made it to the buzzer I doubt anyone would be talking about how the ref should have stopped it with 13 seconds left in the round.

But as it stands, I think it's open for some to say let him try to defend.

I'm not calling early, but I can see why some would.

I wish I did, but it was a no bet for me since I couldn't trust Belal to be honest. Belal to me is an automatic unanimous decision, and with the judges you never know. In the end it all played out much differently.

Hey KVB we had some beef in the past but I guess it's time to make peace.

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 02:10 PM

Dariush easily unfortunately. Guy has to be next in line for the title, what else does he have to do?

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 02:13 PM

What's with these guys and their religious BS, ughhhhh. Keep that shit to yourself man.

**povis** · 10-22-22, 02:15 PM

Dariush is cool dude

Sean is tougher than I expected, hats off to him.

**KVB** · 10-22-22, 02:46 PM

What a fight.

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 02:48 PM

Fukk this league and this rigged horse shit. Those judges need to be buried alive.

**povis** · 10-22-22, 02:49 PM

WTF yan won the fight

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 02:49 PM

This has to be one of the most obviously rigged decision I have ever seen in all these years.

**KVB** · 10-22-22, 02:51 PM

Thought that last takedown sealed it.

Fuk

**KVB** · 10-22-22, 02:51 PM

They said Yan was -800 before the scorecards were read.

I didn't see it that high but it looks like it did go off there.

fawk

**Merlin21** · 10-22-22, 02:52 PM

Gtfo .... Control time, take downs, and strikes ... Yan did it all.... What BS

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 10-22-22, 02:52 PM

Pretty shady it was a split decision. It should've been a unanimous for Yan

**Allure** · 10-22-22, 02:52 PM

6 takedowns to 0
5 mins of control time to 0

Yet these rigged cunnts give it to Sean because he is easy to make money off. Seriously they are already in the right country, just bury those cunnt judges alive.

It's the fast pace Flyweight and Bantaweight divisions that has judges getting it wrong because of the speed of the fights. This happened before in past fights.
