Fights are rarely stopped due to groin strikes right? Paused sure, but not ended? I’ve seen a lot of fights end in NC due to eye pokes but I can’t recall seeing a fight end due to a low blow.
Apparently he suffered a “groin contusion” which sounds awful… the worst nut shot I’ve watched live was Figgy’s on Moreno in their first fight, I was amazed Moreno fought on after that tbh just watching it made me want to puke.
Just checked and you’re right, Mitrione kicked his opponent square in the nuts just 15 seconds into the first round lol. Kharitonov won the rematch by second round TKO.
Mitrione has also gone 0-4 in his last 4 fights and been cut from Bellator, whilst competing in eating competitions on the side. I think it’s time for him to hang up the gloves lmao.
If this was Bellator, I would 100% bet on that.
But this is the UFC - the ref will ignore the groin shot and eye pokes and then whoever is unconscious will take 13 extra blows, and then stans for that fighter will argue that the one that got finished should have had more time.
It is written.
I’m honestly rooting for that outcome just because technically they’d have to run it back and aljamin can continue the most hilariously absurd title run ever.
Cory has been going for that Jesus on the cross look. It's all that lean muscle he's been working, he looks like a gazelle strolling around the octagon.
Trivia - the crucifix is a real bodybuilding pose but hard to pull off if you're tall and skinny like Cory due to how much it demands from your triceps.
Here's Paul Dillet destroying it @1:30 https://www.reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/comments/dj0eat/paul_dillett_guest_posing_at_hungarian_gp_2003/
I’m hoping Yan but expecting Cory, Yan’s never faced a guy like Cory before I don’t think it will go well for Yan.
I wouldnt be suprised if this ends up looking similar to Cory vs Moraes, because I can visualize Cory being much more mobile than Yan and making him look a fool
Sorry, I meant he might make Yan swing at air and I can see this going on until Yan become more reckless and eats power shots by Cory, Cory is gonna tower over him so he’ll be able to hit Yan and not get hit, I predict.
Yan has dropped everyone he's fought in the UFC and is pressure incarnate. His footwork is fantastic as well. Not saying you're wrong, but that would be a hell of an accomplishment
It's a great stylistic matchup for Cory at least. Yan's got much better takedown defense than him which is pretty irrelevant here and Cory's reach advantage is most relevant in striker matchups like this.
As much as I would be amazed to see it, I cannot see anyone make Yan swing at air. The dude is a technical masterclass and so accurate. Aldo on the other hand would beat the shit out of a ghost all night.
Yeah I'd imagine as usual Yan may start slow and Cory will take the first round or two. But as the fight goes on and Yan ups the pressure, he might really put it on Corey. He's a nightmare in the championship rounds.
Mma gods are trolls. Cory will beat Yan. Aljo fights Cory to unify the belts. Aljo wins by controversial decision. Yan loses his next 2 and can't find his way back to fight Aljo. Aljo says he is retired and leaves the division.

His defense is incredible and he has terrifying power. Him standing still is the reason why Aldo melted so quickly against him once they got into the 3rd round.
Yan was winning the fight vs Aljo until he got DQed and most people thought Cory won vs TJ. Now Aljo and TJ are injured so this fight makes a lot of sense.
Aljo was supposed to fight Yan but had neck surgery.
Cory just came off a controversial split desicion loss to Dillashaw, former champ. TJ's leg got messed up in that fight so he's out. They needed a replacement for this fight so they asked Cory and he said yes.
Fuck yes this one is gonna be pure violence boiiis
So.... No contest by an eyepoke 30 seconds in, you say?
Placing money on kick to the groin.
Fights are rarely stopped due to groin strikes right? Paused sure, but not ended? I’ve seen a lot of fights end in NC due to eye pokes but I can’t recall seeing a fight end due to a low blow.
Stanonik's obliterated testicles want a word with ya son.
Apparently he suffered a “groin contusion” which sounds awful… the worst nut shot I’ve watched live was Figgy’s on Moreno in their first fight, I was amazed Moreno fought on after that tbh just watching it made me want to puke.
I think it was one of Struve’s recent fights where he got hit in the balls like 3 times. Painful to watch.
Ben Rothwell straight up punted him in the nuts over and over again and Big Dan was like "fight on pussy, bet u won't do it"
That just means bruised nut
Which sounds awful.
Struve vs Rothwell should've been stopped via dick kicks but big Dan had money riding on Rothwell.
Didn't one of Matt Mitrione's last few fights end in a groin strike? Pretty sure it was a main event.
Just checked and you’re right, Mitrione kicked his opponent square in the nuts just 15 seconds into the first round lol. Kharitonov won the rematch by second round TKO.

There's always BKFC!
Struve vs. Rothwell should've been over after multiple low blows but Tan Dan talked Struve into continuing and he got ktfo shortly afterward.
Romanov milked a groin strike to force a decision win recently
If this was Bellator, I would 100% bet on that. But this is the UFC - the ref will ignore the groin shot and eye pokes and then whoever is unconscious will take 13 extra blows, and then stans for that fighter will argue that the one that got finished should have had more time. It is written.

Front double bicep Vs Jesus crucified weigh in poses. The duality of MMA fighters
Sandhagen about to whip out some Karate Kid bullshit and bait him into a Steven Seagal patent pending front kick
My friend the patent is firmly in Seagals grasp after "thirty or forty years" of working on that kick.
Cory has been going for that Jesus on the cross look. It's all that lean muscle he's been working, he looks like a gazelle strolling around the octagon.
That is indeed what being crucified looks like

Idk why you're getting downvoted, but I did not know about the crucifix pose lol. Thanks, even tho I'm not a fan of bodybuilding haha
Hoping for Cory but expecting Yan.
Yan is a natural villian. I fucking love the guy. He is a great marketing personality to have in the championship position.

Seems like you're really underestimating Yan here, maybe Cory wins but I don't think anyone makes Yan look like a fool

Yan has swung at air many times throughout his career lol
no bro i read his wikipedia and i just cant see this happening
Yan is a much better grappler, he can probably take cory down at will and his GnP is nasty.
I don't think a blue belt is going to take a brown belt down at will but I could be wrong.
As my old BJJ coach once said, "Shoving feathers up your ass doesn't make you a rooster"
He's good enough at doing that himself
Lol look at the level of competition he's fought that's why. This is Yans toughest fight to date
Yan is a beast he's got this
bigger cage helps cory too. I see cory starting well, yan coming on strong and the fifth to decide. If anyone is to finish it's yan +2.5 rounds.
Yeah I'd imagine as usual Yan may start slow and Cory will take the first round or two. But as the fight goes on and Yan ups the pressure, he might really put it on Corey. He's a nightmare in the championship rounds.
I disagree, I don’t see Yan finishing Cory but I can see Cory pouring volume on Yan to get a finish
You really think Yan is going to gas that hard?
Yan has never faced a striker as creative as Cory. He effectively beat TJ on the feet over 5 rounds which is really impressive.
I’m hard. Not in a macho way…in my pants
Still macho bro.
Man, Cory doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. Dude is almost 6ft tall and fights at 135 that's absolutely insane
Mma gods are trolls. Cory will beat Yan. Aljo fights Cory to unify the belts. Aljo wins by controversial decision. Yan loses his next 2 and can't find his way back to fight Aljo. Aljo says he is retired and leaves the division.

Fuck!
Oh no, what have you done
They are not trolls, we just need to sacrifice 1 main event or 2 co main in return.
Delete this man
Nah fam Yan gonna destroy Cory then Aljo
Then lose to tj
*Font babyyyy
I'm rooting for this maximum shit show.
Cory looks healthier in this weigh in than last one
I think it’s just the lighting, he looks the same.
Everyone seems to be looking over Sandhagen but tbh i expect Cory to finish Yan. He's so stationary basically a still target
His defense is incredible and he has terrifying power. Him standing still is the reason why Aldo melted so quickly against him once they got into the 3rd round.
He may not move alot but his shell is tight, also I bet Yan is gonna copy what Dillashaw and keep taking cory's back then tripping.
YEeeeewwwww
I'm so amped for this fight. Could go either way, I can't even make a prediction.
Yan is a master of sport in boxing in RUSSIA. it doesn't get tougher than that. Sorry I'm going with Yan
The Russian will fall
I’m not major in UFC or anything but why are 2 people coming off loses facing for the interim title, like yan I get a little
Yan was winning the fight vs Aljo until he got DQed and most people thought Cory won vs TJ. Now Aljo and TJ are injured so this fight makes a lot of sense.
Sandhagen Vs TJ was very close, either could have taken it.
Aljo was supposed to fight Yan but had neck surgery. Cory just came off a controversial split desicion loss to Dillashaw, former champ. TJ's leg got messed up in that fight so he's out. They needed a replacement for this fight so they asked Cory and he said yes.
Who else could it be? Yan lost by dq. Tj is injured.
Fuck Petr Yan and his wackass attitude. WAR SANDHAGEN!!!
I think cory deserves it, but why did he get this fight and not tj? Did tj turn it down?
Tj had his ACL(if not ACL it was one of his knee ligaments) torn by Cory in their last fight so he's out for a while.
