"UFC 252: Miocic vs. Cormier 3" [POST FIGHT] Discussion *Spoilers*

[Kano]

I love Dodson

Watching him get beat up, that is.

 

[Trodden]

round 1 to Mekrab

“He just hugged me.”

I mean, you could have done a little more to prevent than just stand against the cage.

 

[ILJO]

Is there a story to the new, smaller cage?

It fits better in that Apex Center the UFC built.

I think thats pretty much the whole story. Not sure they intended to ever broadcast PPVs from there.

Wow that's a good question since it's in vegas with a huge heavyweight title as a main. didn't even notice that.

That was my guess, too. Thanks.

It's kinda like Luke Cage, but with cages.

I didn't notice, but a friend said something in a group chat and they've mentioned it once or twice in the show so far.

 

[thumper]

lol they're showcasing dodson getting hit with a glancing spinning backfight and a glancing right hook>?!

 

[Trodden]

damn this is a good fight, as long as youre not a Dodson fan

 

[Nebraska]

What the...

 

[thumper]

dod's getting beaten in points thoroughly and they're STILL bragging him up

 

[singinkangaroooo]

I dont think I have ever seen someone load a guy up by the hips and fail to complete the take down this many times... props to that Dodson TDD

They've been using that same cage every show they've done in Vegas since the pandemic.

 

[m1ckey kn0x]

Dudes a maniac.

I'm pretty far from a current UFC viewer, but I liked Dodson a lot when I was watching all the time. But he's done next to nothing on the offense this fight and I've heard his name from the commentators at least 20-1 Merab

 

[Nebraska]

So corny when guys get skunked then raise their hands at the end. Dodson didn’t make anything easy, but you can’t defend for 15 minutes and get a dub.

 

[thumper]

that's just fucked up. they're using it to force the action and make more exciting shows, but i bet money those guys aren't training on that smaller cage unless they know way before hand. maybe they do

Even the first show with Gaethje? I watched that show and didn't remember any mention of it

 

[Noise]

That's one hyped up Russian, lmao.

 

[Trodden]

Mekrab is brutal

I like the smaller cage, but wish the heavyweight title fight was being fought in the bigger one

 

[thumper]

christ that dude is barely sweating

Think they could make it adjustable, like a dining room table that seats 6 usually, but 25 on Thanksgiving?

 

[Kevo]

This guy looks like a Mr potato head

 

[ILJO]

The Abu Dhabi fight island fights use the regular cage. The Las Vegas Apex Center fights use the smaller cage.

I think the Gaethje fight was the very first one they did when they were scrambling to find a location and ended up in Florida. I think that was a regular cage, but I don't recall 100%.

I got my dining room table from Bob's discount furniture. It goes from seating 6-8. Maybe more but they only gave us eight chairs.

 

[Palma]

Is anyone else not as excited for this as maybe they're supposed to be? They're billing it as the most important heavyweight fight ever, or whatever..... but I'm not really feeling it.

Feels like just another fight to me. But maybe it's just me. Maybe because the division is pretty weak, and kinda always has been. Maybe it's because they keep forcing it down my throat how significant this fight is.

And the under card is pretty underwhelming too. Might not be purchasing this one...

You should blog about this
