Wooooooooooooowwwww……. Peña choked Nunes out!

Welp, I’m surprised Nunes wasn’t able to come out swinging like a wild animal in the earlier minutes.

Those quick jabs she’s receiving really made her gassed out then when Peña seems to see her opening, that’s where she took advantage off of that strikes.

She herself even was in shock that she won. Respect! 👊

This is the Woman’s Division equivalent of Serra upsetting GSP.

Dustin better stop fixing his shorts everytime they reset because that’s becoming a reaaaal bad habit.

Dustin “so close yet so far” Poirier, man.
I feel for the guy.

Oliviera’s a slick mofo and he’s gonna be the man. No more doubting. HE THE KING NOW!

Islam Makhachev vs Charles Oliviera is the fight to make now.

Welcome to the Oliv-ERA.

Islam needs to keep on winning and winning and he must beat Dariush in order to climb into the top contenders.

Islam vs. Oliveira, I dub thee Khabib vs. Ferguson 2.0.

This was such a good fucking PPV. 👍

Dana: there went my chance to make Dustin v Conor 4 a title fight.

That sounded like he was gonna get himself beat just because Dustin floored Conor down before, ha! He’s underestimating Oli.

Back to Amanda Nunes, I still can’t move on with this upset. I don’t wanna disrespect her by saying this but it is the cycle of Karma… I mean, she’s upsetted the entire bantam and featherweight divisions with her vicious striking abilities before against the likes of the top fighters like Ronda, Cyborg, Shevchenko and Holm. This is the flaw of being classified as the GOAT, someone will flip the tables on them.

She took that loss like a top class, she wasn’t that bitter and definitely are eager for a rematch anytime. She’ll definitely gonna bounce back the same way Thug Rose did.

Nunes got a wake up call. She got outstruck, her bricks-for-hands didnt drop Peña, and she was the one who started to clinch.

She by all accounts, found her match. Hope this lesson makes her a better fighter.

Goddammit! Knew there’s something oddly familiar with his pose. XD

Charles Oliveira is the very literal definition of “Call an Ambulance… but not for me.”

UFC 269 ended this year on a high note.

I SWEAR Tai Tuivasa is the only dude with the weirdest choice of walkout music ever in MMA. He walked out to Barbie Girl last night because he is a Barbie Girl according to him in an interview.

The first time I saw him he walked out of Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On before.

The next thing that’s gonna happen is… If this could happen I wish… he’ll walkout to My Little Pony: FiM Theme Song and will say he has the “Power of Friendship” that’s why he won. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing today taught me, it’s better to be an amazing grappler with decent striking than vice versa. You had two grapplers who took it to the striker in their own game…made them too cautious and use that to their advantage.

So Michael Chisea injured himself after jumping the octagon and fell face first and fucked his eye open to celebrate his fellow teammate Peña.

Drunken bum.

I want this so bad.

UPDATE

Whoever the hell this pinché cabron is, he really cursed some of our guys here.

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
Este pinche cabrón better not be cursing Makhachev or Olivera now.

Nate Diaz vs Poirier? Sure! I’ll dig that shit.
