UFC 203: Miocic vs Overeem

[Nate DaMac]

Okay, back to not caring about UFC.

 

[enviousdominous]

On the bright side, getting owned in a fight is a powerful motivator. I'm not 100% sure that it'll motivate Punk at 38 to keep trying to beat 27 year olds who have years of experience on him.

 

[Da Prophet]

Punk should go to Bellator where they script fights.

 

[enviousdominous]

Travis Browne coming out to... nothing. Or it's a really quiet song.

 

[enviousdominous]

Oh, it's "You're the best, AROUND!"

 

[Ty Burna]

I really, really can't imagine he ever fights on a UFC show again.

Also I love that Punk is acting like this trailblazer. Batista did the same thing, was smart enough to fight on a nothing show, and actually won. Punk was brave for trying but this was probably it for him at the top level as that was a squash.

I think that was the plan initially for him, but then Dana White offered him the shot in the UFC, and like Punk said, you'd be stupid to not take that opportunity.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Oh, it's "You're the best, AROUND!"

Didn't someone in ROH use that?

 

[enviousdominous]

These next two fights had better help cure me of my buyer's remorse.

 

[enviousdominous]

Didn't someone in ROH use that?

Kazarian I think, Fabricio is coming out to some kind of New Age theme. Sounds like an Irish folk song.

 

[klunderbunker]

Didn't someone in ROH use that?

Prince Devitt did in New Japan.

 

[enviousdominous]

Huh, Fabricio apparently wears wife-beater shirts to the beach.

 

[klunderbunker]

I think that was the plan initially for him, but then Dana White offered him the shot in the UFC, and like Punk said, you'd be stupid to not take that opportunity.

It really was kind of a no lose situation. If he pulls a miracle and wins, it's the upset of the year. If he loses, "oh well. I'm brand new at this and I had the time of my life."

 

[Nate DaMac]

Prince Devitt did in New Japan.

Yeah that's it.

 

[enviousdominous]

Bruce Buffer looks like a botched clone of Shane McMahon.

 

[enviousdominous]

Fabricio opened with a kick to the face. Travis is okay though.

 

[Ty Burna]

Werdum with a god damn Liger kick.

 

[enviousdominous]

Fabricio just went for a somersault kick! I don't think it hit though.

 

[enviousdominous]

Was Travis Browne the first Sin Cara? Fight stoppage for a dislocated finger.

 

[Da Prophet]

Huh, Fabricio apparently wears wife-beater shirts to the beach.

When I saw "wife-beater" I thought this was about Travis Browne.

 

[enviousdominous]

Travis got a good shot with the right hand, but Fabricio has him in a clinch.

 

[enviousdominous]

Fabricio just got a damn good roundhouse kick in.

Motivation can't make up for lack of talent. He'll suck if fights again.

 

[enviousdominous]

Travis caught a kick under his arm and kicked Fabricio's other leg to knock him down. Fabricio got up and took Travis down with a punch to the face.

 

[enviousdominous]

Fabricio has his back, laying in hard shots.

 

[enviousdominous]

Travis survived the round. Pretty damn impressive.
