Main Card fights start at 5am Eastern US Thread song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q3k-96dqRM  Welcome to Busan ladies and gents. Here’s some travel info for those of you who don’t know much about this city. First, Busan is known for its beaches, hot springs, nature reserves and events such as the city's renowned international film festival held each fall. Busan is the second largest city in South Korea and also was a key staging point for the UN during the Korean War where a perimeter was built around the city after the allied forces got pushed back to the region by the communists. Here’s a photo of a summer weekend in Korea because everyone goes to the same places at the same time because vacations are taken at the same time as everyone else for whatever dumb reasons this country has.  Oh fun fact, Korea doesn’t enforce open container laws and is best described as “the Ireland of Asia” in terms of drinking culture: as in, you’ll see old and young folks blacked out stumbling down the streets with regularity. And here’s another fun fact, there’s a famous bridge in Busan that they always show off (in Black Panther for example). Earlier in 2019 a drunk Russian boat captain rain a cargo boat into it one day and there’s footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjc5MKNhorw Anyway, this is the UFC’s first event in South Korea in like 4 or 5 years. The last being headlined by Benson Henderson to give you a sense of how far we’ve come. The card is as follows: Featherweight - Frankie Edgar vs. Chan Sung Jung Light Heavyweight - Volkan Oezdemir vs. Aleksandar Rakić Featherweight - Doo Ho Choi vs. Charles Jourdain Light Heavyweight - Da Un Jung vs. Mike Rodriguez Middleweight - Jun Yong Park vs. Marc-Andre Barriault Bantamweight - Kyung Ho Kang vs. Liu Pingyuan Heavyweight - Ciryl Gane vs. Tanner Boser Featherweight - Seung Woo Choi vs. Suman Mokhtarian Lightweight - Dong Hyun Ma vs. Omar Antonio Morales Ferrer Flyweight - Alexandre Pantoja vs. Matt Schnell Bantamweight - Raoni Barcelos vs. Said Nurmagomedov Womens's Strawweight - Miranda Granger vs. Amanda Lemos Bantamweight - Alateng Heili vs. Ryan Benoit Now I’m off to the arena so enjoy the thread and the fights Mekchu fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Dec 21, 2019 |

Mekchu posted:Is the audience quiet on your TV? Cuz you can hear a mouse piss right now. Yeah I thought it was the mics at first but then I realized I can hear the strikes fine. Corner mics seem to be kinda bad though, they kept trying to feed in audio from Benoit corner but there was some kind of rustling sound instead.
