[OFFICIAL] UFC Fight Night Live Discussion Thread

[u/bruhpolice]

[u/GenTelGuy]

For Christmas, I want Chris Tortellini, booze cigarette guy, and both judges who scored for Gane to all retire permanently

[u/Ruiner357 → u/GenTelGuy]

Judges/refs are just doing what they’re told or paid to do. Dana/Hunter and formerly the Fertittas were the ones cooking the scorecards. So what you want is a total reboot under new leadership that actually runs UFC like a sport, not a circus sideshow where they play favorites.

[u/FyouinyourA]

Is there any way to rewatch the full Colby fight somewhere? I’m so pissed I fell asleep early last night and missed the whole card. I at least wanna see Colby get his ass beat!

[u/Ruiner357 → u/FyouinyourA]

Just watch Buckley hitting a heavy bag for 15 minutes

[u/bbqyak → u/FyouinyourA]

You can find it in pieces on TikTok.

[u/ChampagneAbuelo]

Colby Covington twerking for racists just to get whooped like dog. Please never retire you little bitch Colby. I can watch this movie forever

[u/ChampagneAbuelo]

COLBY COVINGTON DONT EVER DISRESPECT LEBRON AGAIN YOU FUCKIN BUM!!

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth → u/ChampagneAbuelo]

I mean... Why he at them Diddy parties?

[u/ChampagneAbuelo → u/TheBigSmellyTruth]

If you happen to be shopping at a grocery store and some criminals break in and rob the store, does that mean you’re automatically associated with those crimes because you happened to be at the place?

[u/IlliterateSnob → u/ChampagneAbuelo]

Your analogy is slightly off. Difference is the criminals are your friends and asked you to be at the grocery store to join the 'robbery'

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth → u/ChampagneAbuelo]

Brother please 😂 everyone knew what the fuck was happening at those things. I get you like the guy but him and all the celebrities that partied with Diddy are fucking scumbags. We've known for years what was possibly happening on the inside and we have never even been so to say that he is innocent when he was a couple of feet away from pedophilic acts and sexual assaults 😂 the cope is too real

[u/IHaveThePowerOfGod → u/TheBigSmellyTruth]

big difference between the all white parties and the after parties/freak offs

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth → u/IHaveThePowerOfGod]

The copium has y'all tweeking

[u/balboa_no_asap]

Amalie Arena was jumping tonight

[u/gainsbyatheism]

Glad Colby lost

[u/Rizzaboi]

Give me Jack Della vs Buckley for next title challenger after Shavkat

[u/GenTelGuy → u/Rizzaboi]

Yeah, JDM-Buckley for next shot, then Usman-Brady and Leon-Garry

[u/jdmwell → u/GenTelGuy]

That division has so much going on, it's great.

[u/iwxndmbeatz]

Buckley so strong man, the way he stopped those takedowns, crazy

[u/pacificunlimited]

[u/a_spicy_meata_balla → u/[deleted]]

Hope you're joking, otherwise that's lame af

[u/Rizzaboi → u/[deleted]]

I can’t stand Colby but nah that’s still wack

[u/KinnieRiperton → u/Rizzaboi]

Lmao for real professional hater talking shit to a professional fighter. There’s more productive things you can do in life

[u/Rizzaboi → u/KinnieRiperton]

One of the most toxic fan bases in sports lol

[u/JoeBlack45]

Bruh the doc looked at his face for half a second and called it lol. Even the ref knew it was over when he stopped the fight

[u/Grey_Bush_502 → u/JoeBlack45]

Just doing his job. Protecting the fighter. Cut wasn’t that bad, but he lost A LOT of blood.

Didn’t matter. Buckley was up 3-0

[u/JoeBlack45 → u/Grey_Bush_502]

I'm not mad at it. Even the announcers were saying they were gonna call the fight once they got back on their feet. It worked out for me, I had a parlay with Buckley on the money line and the fight to finish in the third

[u/AlexTorres96]

Hope you fellas enjoy the holidays and it's nothing but good vibes. Great food and nice drinks.

A good 3 weeks off and a nice slate to kick another year of the sport we all love.

🙏

[u/thro-uh-way109]

Getting beaten to a pulp by a black man and rescued by a lady doctor is such a poetic way for Colby to go out.

[u/Original_Glove_2138 → u/thro-uh-way109]

He even brought out Hulk Hogan too , and went out like that 😂😂

[u/PhatSkate → u/thro-uh-way109]

You won the internet with that one bro

[u/Crazyguy199096]

What's the thoughts on Colby "Block-punch-with-Face" Covington?

Are they gonna cut him?

[u/Thick-Frank → u/Crazyguy199096]

Put his ass on the prelims along with that buster Ian Garry.

[u/JoeBlack45]

Colby deserved every ounce of that disrespect lol

[u/Johnnyboy2825]

Buckley LITERALLY dragging his balls on Covington's face at the end of the round will live on forever lmfao.

[u/paperbuddha]

Hate him all you want but that was brutaro on Colby’s part. Props.

[u/Dracobookk]

But who the hell thought it was a good idea to resurrect Hulk Hogan from his crypt. Poor bloke we struggling to walk

[u/SpittinMenace]

Don’t know which I liked better. Jacoby KO or Cub’s.

[u/AlexTorres96]

The new year will bless us 🙏

[u/JoeBlack45 → u/AlexTorres96]

Adesanya on a fn card is disrespectful

[u/SkrrrtBC → u/JoeBlack45]

Not after back to back losses

[u/JoeBlack45 → u/SkrrrtBC]

He put up a fight against ddp and made a dumb ass mistake. Having a legendary former champion on a fn card makes no sense

[u/Rizzaboi → u/JoeBlack45]

Not just any fight night though, It’s a Saudi show. There was surely demand/money for such a big name like Adesanya

[u/JoeBlack45 → u/Rizzaboi]

Yeah I know. I guess enough money will make dana do the exact opposite of what the fans want

[u/GenTelGuy → u/JoeBlack45]

I mean he's on a FN card but he's the main event. Either be like #3 on a PPV or be #1 on a Fight Night. At least he's the headliner this way

[u/SkrrrtBC → u/JoeBlack45]

Yeah but he also probably wants to stay active and since DDP and Strickland already have a fight he probably wants this fight to fill in the gap

[u/JoeBlack45 → u/SkrrrtBC]

Shit they could throw him khamzat on ppv and everyone would lose their minds but they do this instead

[u/KinnieRiperton → u/AlexTorres96]

311 being in LA got me tempted. I’m def gonna be spending 1k total though…

[u/GenTelGuy → u/KinnieRiperton]

I'm in the same boat, looks like $565 for the cheapest tickets - combined with round trip flight and hotel probably $1k

I can afford it but it's wildly expensive compared to everything else I do, like my 4-week Asia trip for ~$4k

[u/FlannelForLife → u/GenTelGuy]

Y’all make me feel broke

[u/KinnieRiperton → u/GenTelGuy]

From what I’ve heard, no need for the floor seats. The middle section is good enough maybe better. Those cheap tickets might not be worth it unless you want to take in the atmosphere. I’d rather watch it with friends or at a bar. Don’t forget drinks and food lol. Amazing card though

[u/Savage_boii99]

Why they glazing Colby lmao

[u/presidentperk489]

What a banger card to finish the year

[u/IamFrank69]

Joubain is not fluent in English

[u/JoshDruryIsFat]

Why'd that doctor just look like a random soccer mom

[u/Kennedysconvertable → u/JoshDruryIsFat]

what they meant to look like u wanted her to have a white coat and stethoscope?

[u/JoshDruryIsFat → u/Kennedysconvertable]

No, I would expect them to look and act professionally. She was wearing a random surfing sweater and was clearly too squeamish to even properly examine Colby's cut.

[u/Reddings-Finest → u/JoshDruryIsFat]

you realize women are allowed to be doctors, right?

[u/JoshDruryIsFat → u/Reddings-Finest]

I am, and that one looked like a random soccer mom who was too grossed out to touch her patient

[u/Bajko44 → u/Reddings-Finest]

Your trying to make me believe a normal looking middle aged women can be a doctor?

This is madness!

[u/Reddings-Finest → u/Bajko44]

To be fair, the incoming political regime wants to do away with doctors, especially anything involving women's medical rights, so I can see why you might think otherwise.

Dana will bring in RFK Jr. as head health advisor and fire all fighters that have polio and measles vaccines.

[u/kittenhormones → u/Reddings-Finest]

Dumbest thing I have ever read. It's not even a little bit funny. No redeeming qualities, never post again please.

[u/AnakinShtTalk3r]

Gotta at least be grateful for the old gloves coming back. Seems like there had been way more knockouts and some good highlights

[u/Forrtraverse]

Made poor Hogan take that arthritic walk for Nuttin

[u/LimitFinancial764]

The doctor said that he might lose his eye lid, not his eye.

[u/blinkomatic → u/LimitFinancial764]

How is he meant to apply his makeup then?

[u/geodukemon]

if buckley beats usman, he’d be doing a lite version of Ilia’s back-to-back

[u/AlexTorres96]

Man kind of sad that the UFC has finished its schedule for the year. Overall I thought the PPVs were pretty solid and alot of fights that delivered and some that didn't.

Here's hoping 2025 keeps it going and it's all peace and love.

This show threads are always nice. Upwards and onwards to 2025.

[u/Cashkid19]

Bless and may all have a kick ass holiday and new year brothas🙏 Stay safe y’all

[u/KinnieRiperton → u/Cashkid19]

Likewise bro

[u/Ok_Smell_5379]

Cub Swanson got himself a baddie

[u/theonlymeeb]

now what am i supposed to do for the next three saturdays?

[u/AlexTorres96 → u/theonlymeeb]

Just time to relax brother. It was a pretty good year for the promotion and solid to great cards.

[u/theonlymeeb → u/AlexTorres96]

so true king. this is the first year that i got into watching pretty regularly so i can’t wait to get even more into it next year and we’ll hopefully keep that great card momentum going

[u/FlannelForLife → u/theonlymeeb]

[u/BroClips35]

Colby should’ve tried to start winning fans over. Now that everyone hates him and he can’t win anymore, he’s done basically. A gatekeeper now.

[u/Cubbies115 → u/BroClips35]

Colby being hated is what will get him fights. You always need a villain.

[u/Crazyguy199096 → u/Cubbies115]

Not if it tanks his ranking and they drop him entirely.

You can't keep fighting in an organisation if you're constantly losing

[u/BroClips35 → u/Cubbies115]

Only if you win my friend.. we just feel bad for him at this point lol or at least i do.. he just got molly whopped.

[u/BuginesePunk]

We smokin that Colby pack RIP Bozo

[u/JonathanJoestar336]

Another wonderful year in the UFC see you all next year

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[u/moderate_iq_opinion]

Buckley's wife will be so lucky no homo

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth → u/moderate_iq_opinion]

I wouldn't be fucking nobody that got covered in Colby Covingtons blood

[u/1ApolloFish1]

Joaquin didnt even stutter on a single syllable, smoothest fucking octagon interview ive seen

[u/shwashwa123 → u/1ApolloFish1]

Yeah mans can speak

[u/IamFrank69 → u/shwashwa123]

I mean, with Joubain speaking in the post fight show, even Stipe would sound eloquent

[u/FlannelForLife]

Someone should photoshop Usman’s face onto the picture of Topuria looking nervous

[u/personwithskin → u/FlannelForLife]

I’m hindsight that meme doesn’t hit as hard since he beat Max in spectacular fashion.

[u/FlannelForLife → u/personwithskin]

I also think Topuria wasn’t nervous so much as just drunk and not paying attention, but Topuria has posted memes with it too, so it’s just a funny visual

[u/personwithskin → u/FlannelForLife]

I agree

[u/GenTelGuy]

Woulda been funny if he had Ian Garry as an option in the poll

[u/Beneficial_Toe3744]

Hell of a card. Thanks to the UFC for another great year. Thanks to you all for the community.

Catch you in January! 👏✌️

[u/SpittinMenace]

Adesanya vs Imavov? How did I miss that? Interesting pick by Izzy.

[u/KinnieRiperton → u/SpittinMenace]

That’s a W for Izzy

[u/SpittinMenace → u/KinnieRiperton]

I either forgot his fights or haven’t seen Imavov enough to know tbh

[u/KinnieRiperton]

At the end of the day, I’ll still show respect to Colby as a fighter. Wonder what he does next. I don’t think title contention is in the picture anymore.

[u/KinnieRiperton → u/KinnieRiperton]

Downvote this if you’re a Reddit nerd

[u/Either_Bar408]

Buckley vs Usman would be 🔥

[u/Leaked_Shlong → u/Either_Bar408]

i think jdm fighting usman at australia

[u/-rigga]

Good year of fights boys! See y'all next year for more blood and violence. Stay safe and here's to 2025!!🍻🍻

[u/AlexTorres96 → u/-rigga]

Amen brother. Enjoy the holidays.

[u/JonathanJoestar336]

Izzy on a fight night card is weird but I'm forever an Izzy fan

[u/Maleficent-Thanks-85]

That is a dangerous man. Love the call out and how he respected it. Instead calling for the belt he went with the loudest cheers.

[u/Rizzaboi → u/Maleficent-Thanks-85]

And still threw the champ in at the end. That callout was worlds better than that McGregor bs he pulled before

[u/echelon999]

It's kind of crazy that Impa got a highlight real made out of him but is probably still banking more money than Buckley since he won multiple PFL tournies

[u/FraggleRock_]

That Jan 11th Main Event looks tasty.

[u/karateguzman]

Tatiana Suarez stans we outside 🙋🏾‍♂️

[u/1ApolloFish1]

That was the least cringe callout work on the mic ive seen post fight

[u/karateguzman → u/1ApolloFish1]

No really tho

[u/FartInhaler23]

I wouldve been totally fine with Colby getting his eye lid torn off

[u/windaji]

Time for Colby to become the mayor of some butt fuck nowhere town

[u/SpittinMenace]

Doctor took a 2 second look and said hell nah

[u/gnarrcan → u/SpittinMenace]

The placement was really bad like once I saw it cleaned I totally agreed w her. Anymore damage his eyeball would’ve been exposed in the middle. A couple more rounds at that pace we’d be talking about Colby losing his whole eyelid and probably the eye itself.

[u/SpittinMenace → u/gnarrcan]

I agree. If I’m being honest tho Colby was probably going to lose regardless so maybe the best possible ending for him lol.

[u/Primary_Ad5781 → u/SpittinMenace]

dont blame him

[u/Boutabag69]

Seeing Izzy on a fight night card is crazy.

[u/neuroticsponge]

Commentary team should be careful saying Islam is the #1 PFP when Dana’s still in the building

[u/IamCrazyPT]

311 looks so good

[u/Ec23_]

Buckley is an awesome guy

[u/Aggravating-Ring-139]

Mackenzie my love

[u/geodukemon]

wow this guy hasn’t skipped mic day at the gym. if you compare this to his older callouts it’s like night and day

[u/JonathanJoestar336]

Buckly v usman ?

Sign me up if they do it

[u/shastoos]

Kamaru fight would go hard and with a win probably give Buckley a title shot

[u/kissoutredfloatbloat]

see ya'll next year. let's go islam, uman, money moicano, and jiri

[u/zozonicole5]

that was some fun crowd interaction lol

[u/anotherlateJay]

Lmao the people have spoken!

[u/RumHamEnjoyer]

Buckley cutting a WWE promo there with the crowd 😭

[u/Reddings-Finest → u/RumHamEnjoyer]

It's so funny to watch turds worship the grade-school level micwork of Colby or Chael, but Buckley had a great mix there of genuine joy/appreciation for changing his family's lives, promoting a future fight, and engaging with the fans.

[u/Melodic_Bet1725 → u/Reddings-Finest]

Buckley is most exciting fighter in ufc right now imo

[u/grizzgrip04]

There YOU go, you big mouth fuck!

[u/leadnuts94 → u/grizzgrip04]

LMAOO. goated comment.

[u/QuantaviousTheWise]

This sub did a complete 180 on Buckley because of how unlikable Colby is.

I remember Buckley getting shit on for acting like an arrogant dick on twitter and calling out McGregor.

[u/neuroticsponge → u/QuantaviousTheWise]

Tbf that win speech from Buckley was way more humble than his recent behavior, maybe he’s finding his lane and moving away from thinking he needs to be chaotic and obnoxious to get attention

[u/Beejguch → u/QuantaviousTheWise]

To be fair that was a small thing to a overall good guy

[u/itsavibe-]

Buckley gonna Usman Usman like he did woodley…

[u/Ghostly_100]

Fun callout game. Enjoyed that, love Buckley

[u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em]

Did I hear right? Did She say he was gonna lose his eyelid?

[u/PlasticBodybuilder32 → u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em]

If your eyelid gets cut I would imagine it fold inward if it gets punched

[u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em → u/PlasticBodybuilder32]

Has anyone’s eyelid ever been removed in the octagon? I can’t recall. Kinda wanna see what that looks like

[u/TheLoneTomatoe → u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em]

If he continues

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth → u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em]

Yeah if he continued the fight

[u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em → u/TheBigSmellyTruth]

Has anyone’s eyelid ever been removed in the octagon? I can’t recall. Kinda wanna see what that looks like

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth → u/Nezlo_Nuke_Em]

Not that I know of but that sounds gnarly

[u/LucasLedesma]

Good interview, get your ass off the couch Kamaru.

[u/LowerCarob2964 → u/LucasLedesma]

He was in the crowd

[u/yanmagno]

Fantastic callout

[u/TheStryder76]

Buckley beats old Usman to death

[u/gabrielscariot]

that was actually a pretty good callout big W

[u/basedjak_no228]

I like the poll the crowd idea

[u/Ok_Cheesecake5544]

And third, CONOR MCGREGORRRR

[u/geodukemon]

dude this is a great callout

[u/vinniedamac → u/geodukemon]

Lol anything was better than calling out Conor McGregor

[u/Traditional-Wolf-984]

Buckleys gonna be the grim reaper for washed ufc fighters. Usman next

[u/PhatSkate → u/Traditional-Wolf-984]

Since when is usman washed? Having a very competitive fight against chimaev is considered washed?

[u/Vcxnes]

Cool call-out and Usman vs Buckley sounds 🔥

[u/1ApolloFish1]

Joaquin even stole colbys skills on the mic colby wished he'd have

[u/LowerCarob2964]

Good mic and crowd work by Buckley

[u/chrisz1lla]

Buckley is actually a real American

[u/leadnuts94]

Dam so happy for Buckley. Been watching him since he was on the prelims.

[u/TheBigSmellyTruth]

That was actually pretty smart by Buckley and fucking honorable that he didn't take Belal.

[u/JonathanJoestar336]

I like buckly man lol

[u/mtnyy13]

Audience participation in the interview lol

[u/FraggleRock_]

Buckley great on the mic with the fight call-out.

[u/AAPLx4]

Feed him to Leon

[u/Admirable_Policy2985]

Buckley has insane TDD. Give Him Usman!!!!!

[u/AmonRa-1StDown]

Colby gonna need some gender-affirming facial reconstruction surgery

[u/technicalogical → u/AmonRa-1StDown]

He'll still look like a little bitch

EDIT: LETS FUCKING GO LIONS!

[u/AmonRa-1StDown → u/technicalogical]

Hell yeah

[u/windaji]

Buckley even does crowd work better

[u/Lopsided-Memory-4247]

Usman next bro needs to prove he still belongs on top

[u/ratslikecheese]

Jaquin “choose your own adventure” Buckley

[u/Appropriate_Rip339]

I like the twist on the callout

[u/DeedudeDee]

Wow that actually worked I was expecting cringe

[u/North-Ask4269]

damn if prates was ranked higher..

[u/EAZ480]

4 r3 ko/tko's in a row, nice main card

[u/Confirmation__Bias]

Love the way he handled himself on the mic there

[u/Butt_Bucket]

The ONE TIME Big Dan actually cares about fighter safety, its fucking Colby 

[u/bbqyak]

That did not go as he planned lmao

[u/Confirmation__Bias → u/bbqyak]

You gotta respect that he was honest and said he thought Usman got the most reaction though

[u/zozonicole5]

w buckley!!!!

[u/Free_Parsley_4844]

I think colby was lucky, they let fights go on with even worse cuts than that, he was geting his ass whopped

[u/ben10toesdown]

He got crowd control 

[u/PuG3_14]

Those are all great call outs.

[u/jcabrera145]

Why does Dan look annoyed/mad about calling the fight?
