TheNotrap: 👊 UFC [Inside the Octogon] - UFC 251

TheNotrap 07.11.20	👊 LET'S GO
Colton 07.11.20	I was killing time all day waiting for this to start, can't wait. Early prelims and prelims aren't amazing tbh but still decent
Pheromone 07.11.20	5am for brits does my head in - have a few friends staying up but something about the sun coming up makes me feel queezy inside
Josh D. 07.11.20	The only way I could stay up past midnight anymore is with substances, so long story short, I get to bed the second the main event ends every time.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	I know exactly what you're saying, it's my time zone, too. I can only get to Masvidal's fight if my Cardhu helps.
Pheromone 07.11.20	Yeah I'd usually make a disgusting event of it but I'm too fragile now adays
Josh D. 07.11.20	Didn't realize Volkan and Tybura are on this card, so there are still some names to look at before the main.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Yeah I'm looking forward to Volkan Oezdemir vs. Jiří Procházka and Leonardo Santos vs. Roman Bogatov
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Seems Bogatov is badass
Colton 07.11.20	RIP my parlay
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Nice first fight/knock-out
Josh D. 07.11.20	alright, I am really bad at fight picks, but here goes: Kamaru Usman Alexander Volkanovski Petr Yan Rose Namajunas Amanda Ribas toughtest pick is main, but I'm going Usman thinking it goes into championship rounds and at that point he outlasts and out points. still not confident
Colton 07.11.20	I think all those picks are correct
Colton 07.11.20	All those fighters are pretty sizable betting favourites, if any of them lose it'll be an upset
TheNotrap 07.11.20	They're also my picks, but I'm on Masvidal corner and my heart goes to cheerleader VanZant. I love that girl.
Josh D. 07.11.20	lol didn't know they were all the favorites, so I'm definitely going 2/5 at best. idk anything about Ribas other than I want her to personally beat my ass, so that was more because Paige always seemed like hype because people trend towards looks with women fighters. Meaning, always heard about her, but not sure I've ever seen her win.
Colton 07.11.20	Paige is a 5.5 to 1 underdog lol. I think the UFC is trying to "kill her off" so to speak cause she asks for too much money.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	My eyes will be all over VanZant. I'm a casual, sorry
Colton 07.11.20	Smh casual. The only fighter I'm attracted to is Cyborg cause I'm a real mma fan.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Hahahah
Josh D. 07.11.20	Well if those are all favorites, I'd say the only fight other than main I'd pick for an upset would be Max. He just doesn't get put away.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Hey these girls are having a good fight
Josh D. 07.11.20	Rosa has a nice right hand.
Colton 07.11.20	Max probably won't get put away but given how Volk outclassed him last time in pretty much every way, I can't see what Max will do different this time to get the win. I really hope he wins though
Josh D. 07.11.20	Alex even said the way Max keeps talking like he thought he won, he was wondering how he's supposed to make adjustments if he thinks he did so well.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Rosa's tough, but she still can't challenge Amanda. In fact, no one can at this point.
Colton 07.11.20	Even if Max had a different attitude, there's only so much you can improve in that short of a time frame. That's why I hate immediate rematches. Wish Max would have fought anyone else honestly
Josh D. 07.11.20	Just impressed by how much Alex could get inside and counter while avoiding damage for 25 minutes against the record holder for strikes.
Colton 07.11.20	Yeah he's a beast. Handily beat Aldo too
TheNotrap 07.11.20	If Alex stays on plan, without crazy fistfights, he'll get it done.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	I've heard Zhumagulov is the real thing. He's next.
Colton 07.11.20	Idk I see Paiva winning tbh
TheNotrap 07.11.20	I don't know... My prediction goes to Zhumagulov. Knockout at 2nd round (now)
Colton 07.11.20	Yeah I retract my prediction lol
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Hahah well my prediction sucked hard also
Colton 07.11.20	Excellent groin strike from Paiva there. Very impressive technique
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Zhumagulov has his balls destroyed
Colton 07.11.20	Honestly thought Paiva lost that but I bet on him so I'll take it
TheNotrap 07.11.20	I also thought Zhumagulov won, but it was a close fight. But one thing is for sure Zhumagulov is not the badass dude I expected.
TheNotrap 07.11.20	Two white heavyweight dudes now. I don't know any
Colton 07.12.20	pretty painful fight honestly
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Yep ZZZZZzzzzzz
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Chinese love the next Bogatov guy. Let's see if he's the Kung Fu master
Colton 07.12.20	holy shit that was crazy
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Sorry, it's not this guy. The Chinese love Salikhov >>>>Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos vs. Muslim Salikhov
ReefaJones 07.12.20	every fight up until rose vs jessica is shit lol. Not going to watch before that
Colton 07.12.20	Casual jk I honestly don't blame you
Colton 07.12.20	you're missing some really high level nut shots though
Josh D. 07.12.20	this sucks
Colton 07.12.20	I have faith that the next fight will be at least decent
TheNotrap 07.12.20	If this doesn't get better soon, I'm gonna fall asleep
Josh D. 07.12.20	This is definitely better. Has to be the first time I've seen a capoeira vs. kung fu fight
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Now Volkan‘s striking is about to save the prelims I hope
ReefaJones 07.12.20	that czech seems to be a ko artist maybe ill watch this one
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Great fight
Josh D. 07.12.20	Dude, Prochazka is crazy. I get you want to get your name out there as a featured prelim in a huge PPV, but you can't fuck around so much against a power puncher.
ReefaJones 07.12.20	trash level striking from both guys. God lhw is trash
TheNotrap 07.12.20	WWWOOOOWWWWWW
ReefaJones 07.12.20	that was a nice fight....for 2 drunk guys in a bar
Colton 07.12.20	Daaaaaamn that was clean
Josh D. 07.12.20	another good name for the LHW division
ReefaJones 07.12.20	ok next fight is a good time to take a big long shit before the good stuff begins
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Reefa, tell me one your fav fights this year
Colton 07.12.20	Definitely Romero vs Adesanya
ReefaJones 07.12.20	I mean Dustin vs Hooker was pretty awesome. Other than that Weili vs Joanna and Lee vs Oliveira
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Massive fight, good call
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Just a small reminder Sputnikmusic sponsors VanZant
Colton 07.12.20	wait what
ReefaJones 07.12.20	for me part of the hype is gone without the crowd. I'm still entertained but that rush is missing
Josh D. 07.12.20	I don't even think about it anymore
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Zhang vs Joanna may well be the greatest fight of the decade. And yes, Poirier vs Hooker was absolutely massive.
ReefaJones 07.12.20	Well fight of the decade maybe not but it was a great ass fight
Colton 07.12.20	I thought Joanna won 48-47
ReefaJones 07.12.20	Yeah but it was close. Judges got swayed by damage
Colton 07.12.20	Yeah that's true PVZ about to get wrecked
Deez 07.12.20	'for me part of the hype is gone without the crowd. I'm still entertained but that rush is missing' I like it. No fat Americans booing everytime it hits the ground. I also like how raw it sounds with no crowd. Its not a problem for me
Colton 07.12.20	It's better without a crowd imo
Josh D. 07.12.20	I like hearing corners and sounds for a change
TheNotrap 07.12.20	My heart goes to the awesome blonde with the white shirt
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Hey Deez's here. Cheers
ReefaJones 07.12.20	takedown via schoolyard headlock is really like the main method women use. So bad
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Well, my blonde is out of UFC :'(
Deez 07.12.20	Yo Trap mate. Excited! Man when a solid Judo player has your head its trouble. Lovely set up from Ribas
ReefaJones 07.12.20	"Man when a solid Judo player has your head its trouble. Lovely set up from Ribas" Just learn basic takedown defense. You hsouldn't get taken down via headlock like wth haha
Colton 07.12.20	Ribas is crazy lmao
TheNotrap 07.12.20	ROSE!!!ROSE!!! ROSE!!!ROSE!!!
Deez 07.12.20	'You hsouldn't get taken down via headlock like wth' She got hip tossed. Pretty explosive hip toss too. Top Judo players love that headlock on the floor from side control.
Deez 07.12.20	Lets fucking go Rose
Colton 07.12.20	“She slammed me on my head and that’s not cool”
ReefaJones 07.12.20	"She got hip tossed. Pretty explosive hip toss too." which only works on fighters who haven't properly trained against that, which seems to be like 90% of the women.
Josh D. 07.12.20	dont think we need long intro packages for every fuckin fight, but whatever
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Close fight so far
ReefaJones 07.12.20	Rose looking good so far. Just don't get tossed on your head again
Josh D. 07.12.20	1-0 Rose, but close. Andrade is moving well.
Josh D. 07.12.20	seems like Andrade is dipping pretty low when she goes hard right, Rose could start trying to feint a jab and throw a kick lioke Jones-Cormier 2
ReefaJones 07.12.20	2-0 Rose
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Agreed
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Super close tho
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Damn
ReefaJones 07.12.20	2-1 Rose
Josh D. 07.12.20	29-28 Rose
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Good fight! Rose won, in my opinion
ReefaJones 07.12.20	almost robbed
Colton 07.12.20	Andrade did some damage damn
Deez 07.12.20	Quite a clear 2-1. Always one judge making you sweat.
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Zhang vs Rose in November/December. Make it happen!
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Damn Rose is hurt
Colton 07.12.20	I'm down. And Joanna vs Andrade 2 maybe?
Deez 07.12.20	She seemed to get clipped right at the end of round 2 and then winced from a lot of those big shots in the 3rd. I think Andrade would have won a 5 rounder tonight.
ReefaJones 07.12.20	Zhang is sus. I feel like she would destroy Rose even though Rose is better technically. Zhang seems to be on massive amounts of roids
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Joanna needs to rematch Zhang next, in my opinion. She needs to wait now
Deez 07.12.20	'feel like she would destroy Rose even though Rose is better technically' Same
Colton 07.12.20	In a 5 rounder yeah
Deez 07.12.20	Legit gonna cry if Aldo pulls this off. Dont see it though
TheNotrap 07.12.20	"I think Andrade would have won a 5 rounder tonight." Yeah, Andrade was growing and Rose got hurt. Andrade easily won the 3 round
Colton 07.12.20	I think it'll be an exciting fight either way though
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Petr is the most boring fighter of all time, but his cerebral approach will destroy Aldo, in my opinion
Josh D. 07.12.20	I keep forgetting this is a title fight.
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Damn I lost the stream
Josh D. 07.12.20	Yan's speed/power combo is insane.
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Who won the 1st round?
Colton 07.12.20	Notrap use crackstreams or ripple
Colton 07.12.20	Yan did. Nearly finished Also at the end
Josh D. 07.12.20	Slight edge to Yan I'd say.
Josh D. 07.12.20	I'm tired and have lights off, so this shaky camera work is tripping me out, I keep thinking the room is spinning. 1-1
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Back in the game ;)
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Hey Josh, you have to hold on a little longer. Masvidal is peeping 👊
Deez 07.12.20	Aldo 2-1 for me but hes starting to look tired and make a few mistakes
ReefaJones 07.12.20	Aldo completely gassing
Colton 07.12.20	Fuck Aldo was looking so good until now
Josh D. 07.12.20	I think we have an even fight, if Yan walks him down and throw combos and he'll take it.
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Aldo will be slaughtered in the last round
Josh D. 07.12.20	or just clock him and put him in a crucifix
TheNotrap 07.12.20	I don’t understand the ref
Josh D. 07.12.20	terrible
Colton 07.12.20	Early stoppage
Deez 07.12.20	Needed to go back to the kicks but got rocked out the gate in that last
Colton 07.12.20	Sad for Aldo
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Aldo is a legend
ReefaJones 07.12.20	let's see how "zoom call"-Holloway will look
TheNotrap 07.12.20	Prediction: Alex, by decision
Josh D. 07.12.20	Max is one of the most boring people outside the Octagon.
ReefaJones 07.12.20	he doesn't have to be exciting outside the octagon when he's one of the greatest and most exciting inside
Deez 07.12.20	I love him in both
Josh D. 07.12.20	he doesn't have to be anything, just an observation. He should learn more than 4 sentence though.
Colton 07.12.20	How dare you Josh
Colton 07.12.20	Max is hilarious
Josh D. 07.12.20	It is what it is.
Josh D. 07.12.20	This one already looks like it's going the distance again.
Deez 07.12.20	Max looking great
Josh D. 07.12.20	Max looks much better than the first fight, and you know he'll probably pick up the pace in later rounds.
Colton 07.12.20	Very impressive performance from Max. He better win
Josh D. 07.12.20	wow
Deez 07.12.20	What the fuck!?
Colton 07.12.20	Sadness
Josh D. 07.12.20	"enjoy those little girls"
TheNotrap 07.12.20	I fell asleep for a few moments, but it seemed to me Max was winning
Deez 07.12.20	Probably comes down to the 3rd rd. Was the closest of the fight
ReefaJones 07.12.20	max got robbed fuck this. mma judging is ruining the sport. these fuckwits don't know what they are looking at. Fucking whores
TheNotrap 07.12.20	And now, three piece with a soda
Josh D. 07.12.20	so, so far all the favorites have won, how often does that happen
Colton 07.12.20	They were all pretty big favourites so it's not too surprising
Deez 07.12.20	Man thats a lot of energy from Masvidal for a first rd on 6 days. Maybe hes trying to finish early cos he dosnt have the cardio for 5
Josh D. 07.12.20	I was hoping to see less fence work, but that's Usman's game. Pretty predictable outcome overall.
Deez 07.12.20	As expected yeah
eliminatorjunior 07.12.20	Big humping energy on Usman
Colton 07.12.20	Usman literally put me to sleep I just woke up lol
TheNotrap 07.12.20	I fell asleep before the fight started hahah I just saw it. Kinda predictable ending, if you ask me. At the end of the day, although we witnessed good fights, I ended up being somewhat disappointed.
Josh D. 07.12.20	Yeah, this card felt weird for a reason I can’t identify.
Deez 07.12.20	Agreed cant put my finger on it
Colton 07.12.20	Probably cause they let Aldo get murdered on live tv and then robbed my boy Max
Josh D. 07.12.20	Well hey, palate cleanser on Wednesday.
CosmicPie 07.12.20	Couldn't believe they let Aldo get pummeled like that. I had Rogan's fight companion on and him and Joey D kept saying "stop the fight, stop the fight." Shit like that is hard to watch.
Colton 07.12.20	Especially after the beatings he took from Holloway... he's taken some crazy damage in the last few years
MO 07.12.20	God Usman is fucking boring
ReefaJones 07.12.20	Usmans last fight was one of the best fights of 2019
CosmicPie 07.12.20	Usman's got skill, but yea, something about it wasn't very engaging. I give Masvidal mad props for taking that on such short notice... losing all that weight and no real camp. He held his ground.
Colton 07.12.20	He got a nice paycheck and didn't take any real damage so he's good. But I feel like the UFC will give him a really hard fight next time to punish him for asking for so much money, like they did with PVZ last night. Dana's petty like that.
Josh D. 07.12.20	It's a fight, so I don't get too mad at someone having a game plan and style. The only thing I ever get annoyed with are takedowns and the top fighter just lays there (partly why I think DJ won the second Cejudo fight). Going forward, there are some good welterweights due for a shot, so every fight will be high level and very different i.e. Usman-Covignton compared to last night. Who knows what we'll see against Burns, Edwards, et al.
Colton 07.12.20	The Covington fight was the one non-boring fight Usman has had though, all his other fights are pretty similar in that he does just enough to win without really doing any damage or anything exciting Also I agree DJ won that shit
FabiusPictor202 06.07.21	mayweather - paul fight was stupid as fuck what a surprise
MO 06.07.21	lol so awful, exactly what I expected it to be
FabiusPictor202 06.07.21	Yea
