Dagestan!

Another finish.

Beautiful overhand right by Muslim over the left hook of Rainey.

Preview & Review: UFC on Fox 29

UFC on FOX 29- Glendale, Arizona

DC, DC, and Jon Anik on commentary. Some friction as usual when Cruz is commentating but it's mostly friendly jabs.

I was really looking forward to Bhullar on this card, but unfortunately he got caught with an omoplata earlier in the card- doesn't stop his potential tho.

I hope another prospect in Adesanya doesn't disappoint tonight against Vettori who poses the right stylistic questions.

Maybe Condit can return to form, Oliveira is entering his prime however.

Gaethje coming back after being beaten for the first time, Poirier matches up well with him.

I feel as most Poirier has crisper striking but Gaethje is grimy.

This is a good main card.

I like the 3d graphics.

Seems weird Casey is the favorite, imo.

It's in her homestate.

Either way Casey is very impressive right now with her stiff 1 2.

Re: UFC on Fox 29: Poirier vs Gaethje

Odds make sense now that I see how fight is going.

Re: UFC on Fox 29: Poirier vs Gaethje

ehhhh Casey won 1 and 3. Great fight either way

[johnmangala]

Re: UFC on Fox 29: Poirier vs Gaethje

As impressive Casey was, gotta say Karate Hottie was more now given that size discrepancy- it was like two different weightclasses.

This next fight is exciting, probably not FOTN contender like the main event- but most likely POTN for Adesanya if he doesn't disappoint against Vettori.

Re: UFC on Fox 29: Poirier vs Gaethje

Decent win for Adesanya, but definitely not POTN.

If Vettori pursued grappling earlier he may have had more success. This shows Adesanya has much to improve.


Bit nervous for Condit v Oliveira next. Oliveira coming into form whereas Condit hasn't been the same since maybe the Lawler fight.

I think Oliveira is the rightful favorite but I am rooting for Condit here.

Re: UFC on Fox 29: Poirier vs Gaethje

Condit didn't do bad so far in R1, I was expecting worse for him.

I'll be dammed if body triangles don't make the game sometime.

I gave him round 1.

Unfortunate for Condit.
