dodson vs. lineker make it happen

Pretty sure that would require Lineker to overcome his true archnemesis, the scale

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

I love God. And Dom Cruz, I'm COMING FOR YOU BABY!

I think whether it was stupid or not is academic because after that first shot he wasn't exactly in a sound decision-making state

True enough. Even if he went defensive he may have gotten knocked out. Dude has serious power.

No, Dodson's back at bantamweight, too.

He just didn't have the size and strength to get past Ferguson's guard even with him rocked like that.

Lando fuckin owns though

Naw he was just completely gassed and had no power right when Fergy was really wobbled.

Small sample size, but McDonald's posture in the stand up makes me question if he was supposed to be a good striker or not

honestly not much is happening at 135 right now they could easily give Dominick the Lineker fight after that performance/callout

homeboy better drop that extra pound though.

Yeah, the only other guys with an argument for a title shot would be TJ, Caraway and Garbrandt. It would probably be a TJ rematch, but Lineker has a stronger argument than Caraway/Garbrandt.

Have a bantamweight focused main card for the title with Cruz/Lineker and Dodson/Dillashaw 2 imho.

Have to say that was a really enjoyable card.

That Lando dude was something else. Crazy style, awesome chin, and awesome to watch. Ferguson is no joke but he gave him a whole lot of trouble.

He's pretty good, but also guys with his kind of firepower can get away with a lot.

WHO ABUSED HIM. WHO ABUSED THE BOY.
joe silva is a genius, because I saw the pre-fight promo for Lando Venatta as was like "oh good another short notice no name who's going to get bodied" and then he comes out and fights like the drunken master who doesn't give a poo poo and gets FOTN. If he can perform like that again, he's gonna be the next Fabio Maldonado. Insanely fun poo poo

Looking back on the card a few hours later, there was only two arguably bad/uninteresting fights (Hut girls & the eastern bloc struggle) other than that a solid card that probably went unnoticed or missed by most.

I sort of feel like UFC should focus on a more regular/weekly schedule and avoid the "let's shove 3 events with 5 title fights this week, with a smaller show next week" approach but then again I am not worth 4 billion dollars :smith:

Did you miss Cain Velasquez throwing not one, but two loving wheelkicks against Travis Browne and finishing him in the first round?

Just caught Ferguson vs Vannata. Tony was definitely in dangerous territory during that fight. Some refs would definitely have stopped that fight when he was hurt and I don't think that would have been a good decision, especially in light of him winning, it could have happened.

One hell of a way of making sure you get another fight for Lando. Looking forward to his next one.

I actually kinda enjoyed that. The Russian was getting absolutely pummeled but he always looked like he could pull off a submission of some sort.

It probably wasn't that bad like I made it seem, but it was also marred because "lol heavyweights have no cardio" and they were both hoping to get a KO despite being gassed for two rounds.

I think Fergusson survived merely by the fact rolling and flail wildly are standard operating procedure for him so referees give him the benefit of the doubt when he spends ten seconds in a semi-conscious state trying to work out which way is up.
