17 mins of knockouts vs 3mins. Quality vs quantity or skill? There's levels to any game and we'll see it tonight.

edit: his kickboxing fights are just as wild

Any good way to do IPTV
Yea quickest way

1. pick an app
* tivimate (win11 native or android emu on windows), smarters (wins) , opentv (wins) / UHF app for apple TV/devices
2. pick an indian/russian provider
*All the websites are legit resellers, you pay cash via paypal/or whatever and you gain access for x months. Its usually 1 device/url-username-password and thats it. Theyre all resellers of like, 3 major Indians/Russians.
*streamvisiontv and strongstreamtv are decent

streams are gonna be hit hard tn

Yeah, I usually just download the event the next day. The streams haven't been the same ever since IPTV became more "mainstream". The quality and lack of stuttering was insanely good circa 2015-2017ish. It has been downhill on the quality ever since.

I wish UFC would just avoid all this bullshit and price these fucking things at $20 and I'd buy literally all of them.

That was the most bullshit win I ever saw. Fence fucking with no takedowns is now enough to win fights?

I had it as a draw with round 5 tipping it 3-2 to Poatan.

Seems judges weighed stand-and-stall too much (maybe because it's been a whole generation of UFC without them having to score stand-n-stall from the golden era)

Sal's been around, sure, but it's been a very long time since the UFC was putting pressure on judges about stand-n-stall and cage pressing.

Alex stuffed 11 takedowns. That's very impressive wrestling-- but somehow it was all scored for Ankalaev.

If you don't want to get fence fucked, stop the guy from fence fucking you?

Magomed controlled almost that entire fight. It wasn't pretty, but he definitely won.

poatan means stone hands, so naturally the genius decides to spam low kick for 5 rounds of course he deserved to lose

It definitely wasn't as bad as the GSP era ground fucking

I'd say Jon Fitch is a better example of cage pressing. There were a few other major guys using it during the golden age as well.

Fitch and a few other guys were the worst offenders. GSP at least secured the takedown.

Wall-and-stall was destroying the UFC for a few years before Dana White started putting pressure on the judges and athletic commission instruction to stop rewarding cage pressure as control when the fighter successfully defends a takedown.

This was a whole major debacle 15-20 years ago, but you might see goldfish on forums acting like it's some new strategy.

I'm not hating though. The pendulum has swung back. There is no reason to not revive that strategy if judges are going to favorably score it as control instead of scoring it to the person defending the takedown attempt.
