Pretty sure Ben has said if he loses in the UFC he might just call it a career again.

With a loss like that, I wouldn’t blame him. I wouldn’t be shocked if he has a fracture somewhere in his face

 

I can’t believe he shot despite Jorge charging.

 

Two insane back to back knockouts and we’ve still got the two main events in which everyone is expecting some fireworks. What a card already.

 

I don't think Ben fights again. Fuck...

 

I can’t believe the fucking TVs here went black for 5 seconds. Comes back on an Jorge’s slapping the canvas.

 

If you think that was luck you aren't giving Jorge the respect he deserves.

 

I fully expect Nunes to torch Holm.

 

Yeah this is great. Best 80 bucks I've spent this year with the ESPN+ yearly subscription deal.

 

There was definitely some luck involved. Nothing to do with respect. It happens some times. No biggie.

 

Same. Expecting two fairly quick fights here. Either than or JJ via decision.

 

You must not watch much MMA.

 

Mas yelling at his lifeless body was very satisfying. Normally I wouldn't like that kinda stuff but Ben's an exception... and I actually like Ben.

 

Agreed. Ben is such a great natural heel and I love him, but that was warranted for all of the times he's talked shit.

 

Oh.

 

GOAT Nunes.

 

If I were Ben, I'd take at least a year off, if not longer, if he still wanted to fight again. But best advice would be to retire and go coach wrestling somewhere; that knee most likely caused some long-term damage

 

Yeah. That was some instant CTE.

 

if holly loses this (which i think she will) i hope she never sees another title fight again lol

 

Yeah he's taken a lot of damage these last two fights. He needs a long break or to retire. Still think he can compete with the best if he wants but fuck that was nasty.

 

Yeah I'm expecting a slaughter. If Holm loses I think she should retire. Not much left for her to prove.

 

Terrifying man...

 

At least it was essentially the side of the head; imagine if the knee scored a direct hit on the front of his face? Decent chance Ben would be more than KO'd....

I mean, I can almost see a case that flying knees should be outlawed, but yeah, that was somethin' else...

 

it’s scary seeing how he’s still stiff while walking

 

Isn’t the temple one of the weakest parts? Besides the spinal cord.

 

I think it is; even just a graze by a fist can be all that's required to drop a guy. Have seen it happen so many times in the UFC
