UFC 317 Discussion Thread

You called him a bum and a joke. I find that ridiculous, so I responded by saying that you were being too harsh, especially when considering his 2018 to 2024 run.

Then you said he was a quitter... Like, sure? But when was the last time he quit? He just got KO´d by a superior fighter.
Charles is a top 10 Lightweight still.

 

Everything is relative. Obviously he's a top fighter, but he's always been a glass cannon. He may have turned the page somewhat but that hasn't changed. This result was very easy to predict.

 

Now this I am fully on board with.

 

Ilia is a ****ing monster

 

I was completely wrong.

 

Topuria is insane. The only weakness is that he's small, but it hasn't mattered yet.

 

Of course he was speaking MMA-wise bruh, hoping he won't get busted for PEDS. But yeah, so far he reminds me more of a Connor if I have to choose a parallelism

 

Much higher level than Connor. Connor was a good fighter, not an elite one for me.

 

Georgia is getting put on the map. Levan Saginashvili, Kvaratskhelia and Topuria.

 

I realized that Pantoja is the longest reigning Flyweight champ since TJ. Bit of a shame that he is 35 years old.

 

Pantoja is outstanding. He deserves to be in the top 5 p4p somewhere. He has to be one of the best ground fighters ever in the ufc.

 

I saw this live with my son as our first UFC event.
Loved the atmosphere. We went in before 4 pm for the pre prelims.
I am not really a fan but great father and son time.
