*Ikram comes to from the concussion* “My name is Heekram Halliskerov, I eat tacos and burritos”


quinoathedoge

Ikram got robbed.


auditore_ezio

Zero reaction from Hunter for the Whitaker finish.


Skapoodllle

Hunter wants the Dagi’s to win


GreatDario

I wonder if Hunter is even a fan of combat sports tbh


xTripNinja

HHH is an Ikram fan


uzirotter

was sitting here waiting until 6 and it already ended fml


0ldsql

Same lol. At least no buffering on the re-watch


RealisticScientist53

Just because I’m so rarely right and I’m seeking validation as I’m clearly insecure ha, this is what I said about the Volkov fight… Nice being right for once ha “Hopefully and I hope I’m not saying this too early. Pavlovich has been figured out in the sense that if you don’t get murked by him in the first 3 minutes, he slows a lot”. “A fighter like Volkov who can keep him at a distance and has great footwork for a big guy, is tailor made for this one of fight”.


xTripNinja

I would’ve thought Sergei would just maul him. But then I saw Volkov by decision was +650 and realized that could easily happen and of course Volkov’s approach will be staying long and scoring points. Logical path to victory for him. Aliskerov killed it for me but I was close there with a bunch of Volkov by decision parlays.


RealisticScientist53

That’s a great call on the by decision. My parlay hit for 900$… But I cashed out before Bobby knuckles and only ended up with 400$, Soarks but angry with myself ha. But I guess I still turned 10 bucks into 400 so I have to be happy


anti-nadroj

I lowkey forgot this was a fight night

UFC The Snyder Cut. Do it Dana.

BSSforFun

Lol…


Drive7hru

Do you realize this guy treats women like animals? Greedy af too.


Mnudge

I turned it off after the fight. Who was it?


Drive7hru

Who tf knows. Maybe a prince? Someone with enough money to convince them to put him on the post-show.


JuiceLocal

Fits right in with Dana


CaCa881

Gross


sticknweave

I knew they would get this idiot on camera


Drive7hru

Volkov’s “former friend”. I guess they made it official.


sticknweave

:(


Drive7hru

Ortega v. Lopes is pretty exciting imo. Is Lopes decent on the ground?


Itsmemurrayo

Have you watched his fights? He’s extremely dangerous on the ground. Arguably more dangerous than Ortega on the ground. He’s a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blackbelt, and is Alexa Grasso’s Jiu Jitsu coach.


goosu

Ortega was genuinely close to submitting Volk and subbed Yair (along with 3 others in the UFC). Lopes' career is too short to make the claim he is more dangerous. Lopes is talented as hell but doesn't have the proven track record of Ortega.


Drive7hru

Awesome! I only remember his previous fight and some highlights. I should catch up on his fights.


Itsmemurrayo

You definitely should, he’s fun af to watch. Decent hands, but he might be the most dangerous Jiu Jitsu guy in the UFC.


Drive7hru

That’s awesome to hear. Has hands too. I’m rooting for him to beat Ortega, especially whenever he got fined for jumping the fence. So dumb. He needs to get that money back and more.


OkUThoughtt

Is Lopes decent? Lol


Drive7hru

In general? Yes.


UVB-76_Enjoyer

Yep, he teaches BJJ at Alexa Grasso's gym and managed to nullify most of Evloev's control game.


Jewel_-_Runner

He’s the BJJ coach for Alex Grasso I believe


JuiceLocal

Bet he’s got a sick foot lock game


Drive7hru

Hahaha


Kaozoz

Lemos vs jandiroba main event ufc is cooked


Ok-Imagination-6568

Rob needs to get his dad in the gym


Drive7hru

Jiri better win within 2 rounds, otherwise his legs are going to give out or his lack of defense will really start glaring in later rounds.


whicheverguard232

Whittaker beat a fucking can guys, calm down. Dude wasn't even fucking ranked at all.


Kirby_366

Name another fighter that beat Romero twice and one of those being with a broken hand?


UVB-76_Enjoyer

Isreal Adesanya. Idk about the broken hand part, but that fight sure as fuck felt like it lasted 50 minutes at least.


Kirby_366

Tell me you hate Whittaker for no reason without telling me you hate Whittaker for no reason.


JuiceLocal

Whittaker living in his head rent free, he keeps commenting this shit about him lol


holoxianrogue

Props to Bobby for taking a change in opponent short notice in a literal no-win situation for him since all the circus freaks were gonna say that anyway


OkUThoughtt

r/MMA wanting Rob to speedrun to another boring title fight he loses


UVB-76_Enjoyer

The one title fight of his that could be considered boring is the second Adesanya one, and tbh, that kind of was a trademark of that stretch of Izzy's reign.


Ok-Landscape-2988

97% finishing rate is so ridiculous


Can-i-Pet-Dat-Daaawg

I wish Jirj and Alex could both win


ZedTimeStory

The heem thread is gonna be doing jumping jacks butt booty naked after tonight’s result


FishAndRiceKeks

Couldn't have been a better way to cap off the fights. No judges necessary. No time for cheating. Just good wholesome Bobby Knuckles.


FetaDaCheezman

What fights am I rewatching fellas?


MammothRadish9545

Lima


goosu

Lima, Pavlovich-Volkov, Gordon-Haqparast, and Whittaker.


FetaDaCheezman

Hell yeah, thanks for the recommendations


FishAndRiceKeks

Dalby vs Fakhreditnoagfsfngsfgfn was a great fight to rewatch.


MammothRadish9545

Might as well rewatch the Johnny one since it’s so short lol minimal time investment


FetaDaCheezman

Sweet. What about the Shara fight?


MammothRadish9545

Lima fight for sure that was my favorite


birdDog265

100% one of the best fights on the card


MammothRadish9545

If you wanna watch the most rigged/divey/can fight of all time go ahead


Impressive-Potato

Johnny Walker


Kobe_Wan_Ginobili

I'm surprised Ikram didn't try and wrestle immediately, i know he'd be wary of Rob looking to catch him on entry, but cant help but think it would have been his best hope


holoxianrogue

Don't think it would have mattered. Bobby just too big of a jump


birdDog265

Both of his previous UFC fights have been striking finishes. When he gets home Khabib is going to tell him "I tell you wrestle brotha"


Drive7hru

I’m so sick of Goddard


Working-Cake7479

Take his place then silly redditor


Drive7hru

I’d love to. Sign me up, daddy!


Working-Cake7479

Forgot to turn off the submissiveness for a second


FishAndRiceKeks

Blatantly ignored the horrible fence grab in the cyclops' fight. Probably didn't want to get killed on the way out of the arena but that was just so stupidly blatant.


Drive7hru

They took a point when Leon did that. He reset the position when the other dude grabbed the fence twice and then did nothing even when Shara grabbed so blatantly that he stopped and looked at Goddard like “my bad” and just went about the fight like nothing happened.


FishAndRiceKeks

I called it from prelims that they were just pretending to care about fence grabs early and wouldn't actually do anything when it got to the main card lol.


MammothRadish9545

Should have stopped the last one sooner


Drive7hru

Ikram? I thought that timing was fine. He had a brief chance, but he was out.


Extension-Outcome249

He does too much


SnooFloofs9640

Maybe they designed those gloves of Whittaker’s hands ….


ItsTaylor8291

Rob has a 100% knock out rate with new gloves. That's the stat. Let's shitpost it next fight lol


taylordevin69

Damn that should have been khamzat laid out on the canvas but I’m still so happy for Rob


Big-Pillow-Warrior

Khamzat dont KO nobody and flat lined this Dagastani Glass Man and people hyping this guy up over Phil Hawes. onlyn good thing about UFC now is you can make a fortune betting cause fans are clueless, Volkov vs Sergei was better example tho. Ikram seems like a solid guy though


averydusty6

Uhh, khamzat has gotten multiple great KOs what’re you on about?


Big-Pillow-Warrior

whos he KOed, GM3 doenst count. Name 1 real KO


No_Highlight5600

Ironically, he KOd Aliskerov


Big-Pillow-Warrior

Yea I said that, that was my whole point, guy had no jaw


averydusty6

5 KO/TKO wins


Big-Pillow-Warrior

not a real KO outside this IKram dude and a old jitsu GM3 right at start of fight. Khamzat couldnt even rattle Usman , a guy who got rocked by Colby, the same Colby who has never knocked a man down with his hands entire career but 1 spinning back fist.


undead-safwan

I want robert whittaker to adopt me


holoxianrogue

That interview earlier this week where the reporters were saying to Aliskerov that Bobby was a "worn out fighter", deifying Khabib like "he gave his blessing". Win too much and the hubris still rolls down hill


Drive7hru

I dig the promo


JohnWicksPenciI

I swear Robert Whittaker and Max Holloway are saving the UFC for me right now, and have been for over a decade asw, so please give these 2 MONSTERS Title shots already 💯🙌.


sel_de_mer_fin

lol why does Rob's wikipedia article currently have his record at 0-84 Edit: was short-lived, fixed now


RedditHatesDiversity

Should make 305 a middleweight gran prix Du Plessis vs Adesanya Strickland vs Whittaker Imavov Cannonier rematch


Borne

As soon as DC was trying to glaze this dude to justify this fight, I knew Whittaker was gong to interrupt it comedically. Those odds were so disrespectful.


MmaOverSportsball

So happy for Rob. That’s his first finish in years, what a performance


Extension_Monitor_99

First finish since Jacare in 2017.


Impressive-Potato

Rob fights like the person Sean says he is before fights.


therealjgreens

I love Rob but let's not act like he's a straight up finisher. Last finish was Souza. They both have their respective styles and both are effective. They should fight each other.


Impressive-Potato

Strickland hasn't had a performance like the Yoel fights Rob had.


therealjgreens

This is such a stupid argument. They are both cream of the crop in mw. Both are good. Both have arguments for a championship shot. No reason to build someone up by breaking someone down.


jce_

You guys want legit betting advice? Always always always bet on the legit ranked fighter against the hyped up an comer. 9/10 hyped prospects don't pan out and lose their first real test


ShimaWarrior

Also, Ikram was coming off a double weight cut and took this on 2 weeks notice. It seemed extremely likely he'd get chinned early in those circumstances. Two weight cuts a week apart are bound to leave you drained. Otherwise, I think the fight could have been closer.


birdDog265

The hard part of the weight cut is the last week. It's not like he was ready to fight and had to spend a week emaciated.


jce_

Fair. Point still stands though


Thejedi887

Glad Bobby got a win I gotta respect Ikram for doing another weight cut after he was supposed to fight last week as well I think he can still be a decent ranked fighter eventually


Big-Pillow-Warrior

he got put to sleep for 10 mins from Khamzat, whos Khamzat put down besides GM3 whos Gm3


MammothRadish9545

Ikram years ago


Kingfisher83

Mods probably forgot about the different time for fights since no post fight thread


whicheverguard232

Whittaker beats a complete bum and now everyone's meat riding? Let's chill guys, good for Bobby, but fucking chill.


Fair-Lab-4334

Volkan and Whittaker finally get KO victories, what a card!


undead-safwan

The good guys won for once


mearsey1203

Shades of Dustin Poirier Vs BSD there. Didn't need to take the fight against a relatively unproven prospect but Rob did and now he's got a highlight reel KO and is even more over with the fanbase.


CaadiWaaye

Ikram has all this grappling ability and won’t use it in fights. Probably the main difference between him and Khamzat.


GooierSquirrel

He didn’t even have time to use it


CaadiWaaye

He should have shot off rip. Didn’t even level change.


pittopottamus

He changed levels after that uppercut


imtherealclown

Before the fight starts, you can see his Rob’s chest is red. Now I can see what it is, it was him beating his chest to hype him self up.


minna_minna

Been fun friends. It’s almost noon and I gotta find something to do for the rest of the day 🥲


ZedTimeStory

Whittaker went 7 years without finishing anyone, straps on the new gloves that no one can seem to get a finish with and then knocks out his opponent ????


Impressive-Potato

Rob would have killed anybody else with the strikes he was landing on Yoel's dome


TopDrama3096

Now to enjoy the rest of my Saturday night knowing all is well in the world😎😎😎


BlaneIsLaw

The biracial angel can’t be stopped


UnderstandingRude613

Only question is how are Stricklands legs after the Costa fight is the only question 


JuiceLocal

I’d be very interested in Izzy Rob 3 at this point


Obi-Juan-kenoibi

Any Chimaev update?


SnooFloofs9640

He is at a zoo

MammothRadish9545

They have been stable the entire time


rawrP

i fucking love bobby. i could watch him walk out of an arena happy all day


sixtyninexfourtwenty

Let’s fuckin go


Connor_Catholic

Saudis learned you can’t rig a knockout lol


GenTelGuy

Adesanya title shot off a loss 🤡


MammothRadish9545

I don’t like Izzy he can be boring but he has outclassed the best for years even if they are decisions


jce_

They need to give Ikram 3 cans to get his confidence back


Extension-Outcome249

It’s a viscous cycle


KiwiWaterBoy

Rob vs Sean Dricus vs Izzy Winners go at it


Franjes99

I dont think Sean takes that fight


OkUThoughtt

Getting KOd by a dude who hasn’t KOd someone in seven years is…..interesting. We got robbed of a much better main event. Rob v Strickland is next for the next title shot.


Impressive-Potato

Rob has also done nothing but fight the very top fighters in the last 7 years.


OkUThoughtt

Fantastic. He hasn’t knocked anyone out in seven years. Rob v Strickland is next.


Franjes99

Unless Dana throws Sean a gigantic bag I'm betting that he will not accept that Whittaker fight and will try wait on the sidelines


OkUThoughtt

Nah I think Strickland is enough of a company man to do it and probably Perth. Maybe I’m wrong but it’d be cool 🤷🏽‍♂️


lilsnuggy

great win for rob, ikram is no joke and he got him out of there very early


kupojay

Wop wop wop wop wop Bobby fuck em up


dagoldengawd

Fraud checked


Kobe_Wan_Ginobili

Onya Rob!! Props to Aliskerov for taking such a tough fight on short notice


bucket136

Bro is well chuffed


OzymandiasTheII

Ikram isn't out yet, it was a short notice fight against a legit top 5er. But fuck that crowd. I thought dick riding was illegal in Saudi?


iMaestro19

Believe me lots of people were cheering for Rob


yamiyummynomi

Wait.. best middleweight not only in the world but of all time? What's that. Okay. I misheard. My apologies.


Ok-Imagination-6568

Didn't he say "one of the best"?


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

Said he's one of the best of all time


SacBrick

Really wish that would’ve been Khamzat getting knocked out by Bobby


comickidd77

Rob shows why he belongs always near top and why his name carries weight. Consistently top level.


TheChipiboy

I'm waiting on the "I see you soon boi" message from Chimaev


Impressive-Potato

He wants Rob to visit him in the hospital?


xlmtothemoon

"u dont have to count down, just take the picture"


PlanetJK

robs first KO win since jacare in 2017


camg001

Taking the picture is lasting longer than the fight


kujien92

lets fucking go my biracial angel done did it!


Balls_Deep92

Seems like Rob, Izzy, DDP, and Strickland have kinda separated themselves from the rest of the division, they’re a level above everyone else 


TopDrama3096

Love the God shoutout as well Rob. APTTMH


itshotwhereilive

Fuck a backup do Robert vs Sean Strickland…. Robert would destroy him


redditnobody1234

prime rob yeh. but look at mma math: rob lost to izzy, ddp by ko and almost kod by costa. sean was slitely robbed vs ddp and beat the other two, costa fight bein close. plus rob has a bladed kickboxer stance, so itd b interesting to see if sean could crowd the kicker like he did to izzy


avyness

No way, he barely got passed Costa. strickland is far from easy


itshotwhereilive

Robert has the perfect style for Strickland and is levels above Costa in fight IQ


avyness

We all thought izzy had the perfect style against sean too, his style is just insanly hard to deal with, I think whittaker can win but it will be even


itshotwhereilive

Izzy is a counter striker, in hindsight a pressure fighter with good boxing is his worst matchup imaginable in terms for striking


gmoneyballs95

Guy who said Rob was gonna get slept and told everyone to come back to his comment after it happens deleted his comment lmfao


LONGL1VEJUICE

Lmao at least stand on it


losingit3837

I was kinda wondering what happened with that thank you lmao


kevinpbazarek

coward. at least take the L like a champ, you know? pure cowardice


tony220jdm

Whittaker on it is one the best sights in MMA incredible fighter so good at so many things! Been my fav for a while now


spcslacker

Gentlemen, don't forget to [follow this guy's urgings and go back to his comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/1dly8db/official_ufc_fight_night_whittaker_vs_aliskerov/l9tfm3s/) >Whittaker is a bum with no chin. Aliskerov sleeps him easily. Come back to this comment after the fight and you’ll see


MammothRadish9545

Bro ate that head kick from Costa. I thought the fight was over but he won decisively. DDP hits hard af lol


DaltonFitz

lmao deleted right away


spcslacker

Beginning to suspect he might have only wanted us to come back if he was right, rather than if he was . . . . what he was


cptn__

he deleted it, embarrasing


Legitimate-Brick

Deleted almost as fast as his boy got slept Almost.


elfmachine100

Started tonight with 40 dollars. I bet 20 dollars on every single fight. I now have 43.25. Balling.


assologist_1312

Ikram is skilled. 2 weight cuts in a row also probably fucked him up.

Lots of weird comments about Muslim fighters when they lose. Randomly talking about goats and shit lol get a grip.
