Well, I paid up and I feel that I got my money's worth. 5 hours of good action, and better value than a boxing ppv.
The main event, just wow! Khabib just mauled Poirier, he's a monster. I've never seen a guy so deflated after a loss
The lightweight division is just stacked with great fighters atm.
Ridiculous judging in the Barboza fight, one of the judges must have been pissed.

Agree about the Barboza decision. I don't understand that.
Main event: Poirier looked like a desperate man and like he wanted to throw in the towel.In Round 2 he came out wildly swinging his haymakers and then he went for the guillotine and put all his effort into it. After the failed guillotine attempt he gave up and gave Khabib his neck (imo)

I agree. completely with all of this, he did look distraught at the end of the fight. I think he knows he let himself down. I thought it strange that Khabib bailed on a bulldog/neck crank at least once if not twice earlier on in the fight.

Khabib did look rocked at one point. If someone was able to keep the distance then they have a chance.
Keep away from the fence, it's key for khabib, if your back is close he's gonna take you down.. Easier said than done but that has to be your main mindset when facing khabib..

I am heading to UFC 244. Diaz and Mazvidal was always a cert for me to go and watch.
I did start a thread but maybe you guys may know?
Just trying to get my itinerary setup with a few mates for a week long stay and so we can catch the fights at MSG.
Is it as if easy as signing up on the official UFC site and getting the tickets or is a presale code the best way?
Cheers,
Hanns
Edit: How Barboza decision was unbelievable. And Khabib although he may be boring to watch is a phenom.

This was my opinion too. If you noticed earlier in the fight, Poirier constanly had his chin down so Khabib couldn't get his arm under the chin, but in the last few seconds of the fight, he was breathing really heavily, Khabib was on his back and he just lifted his head up as though he'd given up and let him get his neck.Edit: How Barboza decision was unbelievable.

i disagree that Khabib is boring to watch. Once he has a hold of his opponent, he is constantly changing his pressure points and moving his weight. It is highest order grappling where he's completely in control of his opponent.

Pereira blames weight cut for loss and not his stupid break dancing antics.
