UFC 273 On ESPN+ PPV [4/9 @ 10et] “Deep Waters In The River City” (Volkanovski/Zombie, Yan/Sterling)

[23Barrettcity]

Everyone talking that Aljo rah-rah sh!t now, but let’s go look at the votes to see who was really bout that life when it came down to picking the winner

Too many people saw the first fight and thought he was scared of yan abd took a cowards way out BUT forget that he was doing work early in the fight

 

[Kenny West]

This is what I noticed this in the first fight

Aljos reach and ugly and awkward boxing gives Yan fits on his reads I think. Yan is a technical fighter, he wants to walk you down look for holes. When he has trouble finding the openings cuz Aljo used his reach and front kick plus the wrestling threat, it really threw Yan off I think

Meh. Yan tried to bomb on him too much early. Ajo scooped his leg and muscled in the takedowns that he did manage to get. It was ugly as shyt but pure will. Once Petr adjusted and Ajo was more tired in the last rounds it really showed how bad they were set up

 

[Mowgli]

Yan got exposed tonight way more so than Khamzat.

dude ain't no boogeyman

Sheet. You gotta come in an animal for Yan.

I think his problem is he has a habit of giving up his back to defend the single leg off of instinct and can't make the adjustment in the squeeze. Maybe hes bad off his back

I thought Sterling was gonna break in the later rounds and lose the fight

 

[sportscribe]

Too many people thought he was gonna dog walk Aljio so they over estimated Yans aggression. He did this to himself, all the anger lead him to act out of character

I picked Aljo to win by sub, and he easily could have with a better gameplan.

Not sure what the bookies or everyone else was seeing in Yan. Aljo showed me enough in the first fight that he could definitely win this one.

 

[Strapped]

I hope Booker T took a trip to do the post fight

 

[42 Monks]

if we being real ... and only if we being REAL....

Zombie has absolutely no business fighting for a title tonight

he's a piss poor, 4-3 in his last seven ... and 8-6 in his last fourteen

injuries to other fighters and what not created this fight

 

[Diunx]

I like Volk but LETS GOOOOO ZOMBIEEEE!

Bisping didn't have any business either and look what happened...this is what makes this sport awesome, anything can happen.

Darren till is rubbing his loser ass on to khanmazat

also fukk center kickboxing. I remember listening to a podcast with their coach. Basically they train to counter grappling. Like they’re whole strategy is defending the takedown they don’t even let the fight get to the ground. But man Aljo can be a champ champ


I think sterling takes out volanaski

 

[sportscribe]

Volk is one of the most underappreciated Champs I've ever seen. 20 fight win streak, never lost in the UFC; 24-1 overall, beat Holloway twice.

He's a dope ass fighter but they were hyping him way too crazy

 

[LastManStanding]

Bisping didn't have any business either and look what happened...this is what makes this sport awesome, anything can happen.

Bisping was 4-1 in his last five before his title fight .... and he had just defeated Anderson Silva

not even remotely close to being the same as Zombie tonight
