not the greatest end to a fight, but joao was shit out of luck.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

He roy Nelson'd him

Exactly what i was thinking.

Hey @MilesAbove, see you at the next rizin. Also, have you ever noticed that aliakbari looks like Zangief from Street Fighter with that facial hair and haircut?

 

[HELMER]

awww

i always say better early than late, but that felt early

this is Japan dammit!

still, really enjoying this

also i see i've gotten a bunch of quotes and i'm sorry but unfortunately i'll not be able to read/respond to them til tomorrow, currently watching the bout wit' company and quite drunk, definitely looking forward to reading more of what everyone is saying once i have a chance tomorrow

[BreadnButter]

Fedor!

ZP retweeted this:

those twp are gonna fight it out and become bff

 

[Werdun]

what do you guys think about that stoppage?

He would have been there for the rest of the round.. Good stoppage, they gave him enough time to escape and he couldnt do that or protect himself.

 

[melvinj0]

Good performance by Aliakbari, Jaoa is no slouch.

 

[Metal_Daze]

It is what it is, if a dude can't defend shots the ref kind of has to stop it.

Agreed.

what do you guys think about that stoppage?

No need to be out cold: if you can't defend strikes and cannot escape, you're done.

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

This one is gonna be good!

 

[Slobodan]

Such a good card so far

 

[mime]

I don't know how I feel about this stoppage. kind of weird.

eh not that weird he wasnt doing damage but he had that position locked tight and the guy wasnt getting out..what was weird was the chub i had watching that gabi fight..that was weird

 

[melvinj0]

Albrekktson kind of looks like Martin Kampann and Sage Northcutt had a baby

 

[Lamfadha]

If he stood them up people would be pissed, if he stopped it people would be pissed, if he let it go they fighter isn't intelligently defending themselves and they aren't interpreting the rules correctly..... crucifix GnP mus be annoying to ref.

 

[Thundarr]

I think that you throw a fair/thin skinned guy down in that crucifix eating those right hands and it would have probably been stopped earlier.

 

[BeardotheWeirdo]

what do you guys think about that stoppage?

Wouldn't have happened with a Japanese ref...

 

[PRIDE_DREAM_RIZIN]

Fedor is salty

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Did Gabbi Garcia fight yet?

 

[Zeroinnes]

The Russian Hunter. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet.

 

[Robin Van Rogan]

It's much easier to go all-in when you set up 2 cards a year...

That's not the issue, even when the UFC goes all-in (UFC 200), it still pales in comparison.

It's the style, the art, the way they set-up the montages, the entrances...
I may be biased, but everything is more classy and exciting.
