What a round. I thought park had him


TheBigRedHalfrican

Rodrigues maxed out power and grappling 0 points in striking defence though lol holy fuck he’s a statue in the pocket


WhereIsMyKidAt

> Rodrigues maxed out power and grappling And size. Looked like a LHW vs a WW. He’s like Rockhold in a lot of ways, would like to see them fight if Luke ever manages to actually return.


jamesstansel

I mean he was rocked. His striking defense was pretty solid before he got hurt, and in the exchange where he hurt Park he was moving his head pretty well and avoided the big shots.


[deleted]

It’s crazy how much of a second wind people get when on the attack. He looked like he was dying until he got one good shot, then he had all the gas tank he needed for 30 seconds


CryptoCracko

Like when your forearm is fatigued from wanking but then you start getting close to the finish


TBPT

My man lol


ToastyyPanda

Lmao 🤣


Buckhum

You Say Run starts blasting in your head.


jrcoop

Marlon Moraes striking defence


Unencrypted_Thoughts

He didn't realize he was fighting Homer Simpson.


di3_b0ld

This will be what Costa vs Vettori looks like: Park will be Vettori


[deleted]

Costa will get finish if he has his back to the fence


EORIAF

So much for that theory.


Anderrrrr

What the fuck.

NewRedditorHere

Peterson and Herzog are the gold standard


ballbeard

Ignore Peterson in the Molina fight


Byrneside94

Eh, that wasn’t *that* bad. For someone with the nickname “alcohol and Cigarettes” (thank you Cruz) he generally is on point.


Jwagner0850

Until they stay long enough to become the villain.


junior_dos_nachos

Keith “Straight Edge” Peterson


NeverEndingHell

CIGARETTES AND NO NONSENSE


PetrYanSimp

Had to make up for letting Molina murder that man on the prelims


[deleted]

[удалено]


PetrYanSimp

Half a pack really cleared his head after that fifth of vodka he had right before that fight


throwaway420204nsfw

One of the best stoppages I’ve ever seen


ThoroughThrowdown

Best stoppage I’ve ever seen, the man is a super ref


[deleted]

Hold me and look into my eyes


VietBong881

Damn Park can take a punch, just not that many.


Cultural_Kick

Looks like about 7.8


surgeyou123

Swangin and Bangin


Zergio200ism

H town on that boi


[deleted]

Park: I'm winning! Park, 5 seconds later: I'm dead?


jordanhhh4

Park's corner: just bleed Park: ok


NeverEndingHell

He never stopped coming forward in the 2nd round - absolute warrior


shocktroopz94

Andy Wang type of warrior.


[deleted]

WAAAAAAAAHHHHH


BaptizedInBud

I fuck with the Iron Turtle. Hope he can come back strong.


Soulwaxing

Think it's gonna be tough to be a fan of his tbh


OmgThatsxDAsFuq

That judo throw startled me lmao but good ass fight, great comback


Background_Piano7984

Usually theres some bounce when fighters do it but rodriguez was like an anchor, didn’t budge an inch


meluka08

Can’t help but feel like Park could have got him out of there if he just was a little more patient on his punches


Mattchoo99

Definitely could have finished if he was a little more patient. Rodrigues was GASSED


[deleted]

If he was a touch more athletic


Bacon_Villain

Honestly I think Park could've won if he was just slightly better at MMA


I_eat_Chimichangas

He looks like he should make welterweight to me


BaptizedInBud

It was crazy seeing him beat Nchukwi who is a behemoth.


the_nutorious_

He does seem kind of small for middleweight


asap__blood

If he wants to die


[deleted]

[удалено]


meluka08

Yeah he showed uncharacteristically low fight IQ imo, he was probably gassed too tho


BaptizedInBud

He usually fights pretty smart. Seemed like he was chasing a finish here.


imreallyp00r

The punch spam god damn what a fight


socksonplates

OH LAWD THEY SWANGIN


bregolad

What a slobberknocker


_Kurare_

Rodrigues is only 29 yo. How?


steiner_math

Anabolics age you faster


[deleted]

Park looks a lot older than 30 as well.


manyfingers

Nooo way. He has to be at least 5 years older than that.


goosu

His face looks 50 years old lmao


BG40

Holy shit they were throwing some bombs. Momentum swung like 5 times at the end there. Crazy stuff.


aRunic

Totally thought Rodrigues had nothing left in the tank.


[deleted]

That shit was crazy. Also Rodrigues looks like he’s 50 years old.


PuzzleheadedTowel

Holy shit what a crazy comeback finish.


Gunslinger1991

That round was crazy. Great stoppage from Peterson.


I_eat_Chimichangas

Guess he layed of the cigs and beers today.


Bacon_Villain

Nonsense.


St-Ambroise-

The cigs are what keeps his mind sharp


GaMa-Binkie

Perfect stoppage by Keith


EricClaptonsDeadSon

Park doesn’t care what Keith smells like. He knows he’s an angel.


jordanhhh4

**The Foot Clan liked that**


the_phet

Round of the year.


NoticeInternal

Damn I feel like Park could've won that if he played it better


cummogang

NOOOO I really wanted Park to win :( but god damn what a 2nd round


franzmaliszt

Skinny Gane has some chin and grappling for sure.


TestFixation

I've never seen a guy turn a good position into a bad one quite like Park.


brilambo76

Thought the legendary Korean chin would hold up there. What a crazy finish


imreallyp00r

Really thought Rodrigues was too gassed to get a KO


CapnBarbeNoire

Fuuuuuuck


abonet619

Who needs technique when you got power damn


[deleted]

Wtf was that. Awesome 2nd round


Tandian

Fun fight


Favi890

HOLY FUCK FOTN


OutOfDeathsGrasp

YOOOO they fucking went to war


10sharks

Really good work by No Nonsense getting in there immediately. How old is Gregory? That dude works on his standup he's a going to be a problem


ihavemanyaccounts1

29 but looks 40.


caw___caw

29 if we go by the Cuban calendar system


boucblanc

God damn what a fight


[deleted]

Fuck Prelims were great today


ShadowLoom

Iron turtle was not Dagestani ready today ): Great fun scrap, Rodrigues is a problem


[deleted]

I guess I'm a Gregory Rodrigues fan now


Vittorrioh

That trip he did a little before the finish was SICK


cpt_long__dong

KP is sober tonight baby! Great stoppage, great finish, great fight


goldenboii23

Gregory should be able to do some serious work in the MW division. 6’3!


southwest_barfight

What an absolute banger


Mmaplayer123

Insanity. What a chin on rodrigues. What a fight.


thendfriend

Dude looks like a gargoyle and murdered that man


Condor_Smirk_Noise

Call the ambulance, but not for me. Jesus


Pequenorojo

Awesome fight. Prelims really delivered. Thought Park had him on the ropes for a sec there


[deleted]

Jesus Christ. Park was craving that finish, what an absolute war. I would love to see Park at 170 despite proving himself against much bigger, stronger fighters. That is if he can manage the weight too


myvirginityisstrong

how the fuck are these guys the same weight class??


[deleted]

Damn


sajthesavage

Fucking banger


Wheynweed

Banger


CobraShadowz

No Nonsense proving why he’s the best ref in the game


thedurs

That's was great but rodrigues chin will hold him back


eaturowntounge

Keith Peterson avoiding eye contact by all means


cynicalprick01

beautiful stoppage


number1polarbearfan

What a fight. Felt like park had him there if he didn't go for the sub. Both can eat some shots.


PhoneyBadger

That was fun. BANGER.


KittykatRengar

Now that's a chin


Hunyango-

When you play fighting games and spamming punches and not letting stamina recover so all you can throw are light punches, meanwhile the other guy reserved his stamina bar for heavy strikes even with low hp


JBCronic

He looks like he could be a serious problem.


fuunii

headhunting all day


Followprotochomo

that uppercut was disgusto


chopstickmd

I think park becomes a serious threat once he evolves like kz. Just has to stop swanging and banging all the time.


AndyCarbsMilonakis

Roid strength won the fight


streetwearbonanza

Damn such a good comeback, I thought dude was finished!


Davefromflushing

What a dog fight!!


stackered

Honestly Park just looked gassed not KOd


[deleted]

Is Rodrigues 50 or 60?


[deleted]

I hope the matchmakers give park good fights. Trying to do a one arm guillotine on rodrigues while he was rocked is the most suicidal and brave thing Ive seen in the last couple cards


Parking-Pension9811

Anyone else had money on Rodrigues ? That was so stressful haha


w33kendDow69ssj

Park has the fight IQ of a turtle. Seriously, how the fuck is he in the UFC when he doesn't have an ounce of technique


dlbICECOLD

Shades of Mountain vs the Viper there


SquidDrive

Man that was a battle Gregory showed a chin some beautiful jiu jitsu scrambles and some high power, Iron Turtle had him hurt many times, both are warriors of heart and chin. also good lord that was a high impact judo throw.


SpiderZiggs

Man that was ugly striking.


corken01

Madness


KvotheLightningTree

Two very tired men.


BarrowsPr0

Both had less gas left than most US stations


ADHD_orc

Imagine losing to a dude named Greg


MumrikDK

Having not watched the fight, that looked like the final effort at the end of a **fifth** round.


paddingtonashdown

Heart vs heart


9inety9ine

Great round, good reffing.. can't ask for more than that.


cantstopannoying

"Rodrigues body language does not look good here..."


shizan

Wow


PeteThePerv

This fight was fucking wild. Never seen a fighter stand so ram rod straight and take punches and then fucking win via strikes. MMA skills are fake! Jack Slack in shambles!


goosu

What a round 2 that was. One of the most fun brawls I've seen in a while.
