PBP UFC 296 Edwards vs. Covington: Preliminary Card PBP Discussion - Sat. 12/16 at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

[Guy LeDouche]

So I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Lucas Almeida fight? Anyone can tell me how they think he stacks up against Fili?

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Next. Fili vs. Almeida

Ahhh a Fili fight.
Any way of winning or losing is possible even though he should have the skills to win these type of fights comfortably/

 

[IneedSometop]

dude is very hit or miss.

Yeah he is so inconsistent. Dude needs to see a sports psychologist. Last fight against Nathanial Wood he just let that one slip through his fingers by not being active in the third

 

[Sensee]

Well it took me a minute to try to decide. They both had their merits on paper I guess! But that's just the first fight. You're all green check marks from now on. Hope you're doing well and I need more Smurf killer songs!

Just finished working on the next epic masterpiece (i kid, i kid). It's progressing well. I think you'll dig it.

 

[Poirierfan]

I have no idea who Almeida is so I'm picking Fili.

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

Buday never really looked great in terms of skills though. He's strong and seemed to out cardio guys but his skills never looked very high anywhere.

Oh, for sure, it was moreso based around him using his physical attributes to overpower bottom-barrel dudes. But I also think Gaziev's surge would be enough to crush those guys, too. I'd like to see how Gaziev stacks up against someone like Parkins or Cortest-Acosta.

 

[don't ask]

Thanks for whipping up a gif so quickly!

He's a guy I like but is so frustrating to root for. He's got all the tools smh

 

[sonhow]

Its Almeida by early Ko or Fili wins. Most likely Fili

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Making me look bad Nice work XD

 

[Mr Dilkington]

I usually watch the fights muted. Well, I tried listening to Rogan for a couple minutes. Painful, just can't do it. Time to watch the event muted.
...Buday throws a worthless, wild, no stank loopy left. Rogan, "Buday just landed a good left"
...How is Rogan still a commentator?
...I wish there was an option to listen to the fights with ambient sounds and no commentating.

Rogan always sounded better when paired with Goldberg, but recently there are just better people to have there now

 

[MeatWagon06]

WAR JBG Homie Fili !!

He always puts on bangers!

 

[PurpleStorm]

DC was irate that Colby didn't get credit for a takedown where he had a literal 1sec on control time before Usman got up in ye second fight.

Yeah I remember that. I was like ok dc calm down lol.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Fili is a much better overall fighter and specially grappler but he loves finding ways to get clipped and lose fights he shouldnt be.

Almeida KO

 

[KazDibiase]

 

[Luthien]

Stop showing off, you would never see me doing such self back tapping.

 

[CleverNameEh]

The weigh in staredown was spicy for this one.

Somebody is going to see grandma inside 2

 

[TGArthur]
