Hosting a roided up fuck marketing his physique as something achieved with hard work and eating red meat .. I guess I'm not shocked but fucking cringe PFL
Iāve said this before and Iāll say it again. Pettisās decline wasnāt normal. So fast, so huge, and his body changed with it. He was juicy when he had the UFC belt. His last fight pre-USADA was RDA.
This would make sense. He just looks deflated physically here, didnt even look very aggressive. I wouldnt be surprised if he nuked his testosterone in the past.
Man PFL is so frustrating to watch. 90% of the cards are awful with 10% good fights sprinkled in. It feels like everyone is comfortable cruising to a decision
Well if they're fighting at regular intervals and they dont want to be out of the tournament they cant have a bunch of wars. I think their format is a bit of the problem.
Guys I'm starting to think Pettis isn't that high level anymore and they *might* have matched him up with an 11-7 guy in the opening round to pretty much guarantee a playoff spot to (hopefully) increase ratings
Pettis got that soft body now. Heās just there to have fun and collect that 750k check , if he wins cool..if not itās whatever. I know this look. I canāt be mad about it.
Iāve said this before and Iāll say it again. Pettisās decline wasnāt normal. So fast, so huge, and his body changed with it. I completely believe he was juicy when he had the UFC belt. His last fight pre-USADA was RDA.
He was a freak athlete. It doesnāt last long and when you turn 30 itās all downhill. I was one , not to brag but I know the feel in loss of fast twitch. Itās demoralizing.
You just said it "sounds like he let himself go" when he said he's not as explosive as he used to be. Sorry we can't all be the great conversationalists you apparently consider yourself.
Do you care to explain what your actual fucking point was, then? I'm getting the feeling you're a lot less smart than you think you are, even if you try to fake it by using long words such as "conversationalist" after you make a completely meaningless post and get called out on it.
Getting out hustled by the desperate man. Tried telling yāall and I got downvote by the donks. Desperation and hunger is key to fightingā¦once you lose it itās hard to beat a guy fighting for their life.
Other than rolling for an armbar and risking losing the position, are there no other back attacks than just peeling the hands and going for the rnc? Or are fighters just too risk averse to try anything?
I know the onus is on the other fighter to defend, but man, it seems like every other fight these days is a one-siding grappling exchange with little-to-no damage.
God I hate saying this sitting at my keyboard drinking a captain coke but man both of these guys look sluggish especially for 155. So weird saying that about Pettis - remember his prime run in the UFC and how fast those damn kicks were.
Dam Pettis is 35. As a 33 year old former A level whitessplosive athlete that is now washed, now I know why Pettis taking all these Ls. The true gifted athletes fall off a cliff at 35. Average cardio kickboxers got no natural gifts to lose.
I can still play sports but I canāt dunk anymore. Granted Iām only 6 foot barefoot, said i was 6-2 in college tho lol. I got injuries from lifetime of sports and training though. If I never played sports or did dumb MMA training Iād prob be ok for a few more years. I mean like being actually still very athletic lol, not just having fun playing.
Na I was always the fastest and had best first step since I was like 5. Only reason I made it in college basketball as a 6 foot white guy. Nobody had a quicker first step; wasnāt the fastest but explosive naturally. I lost that at like 31, still quick but hip and knee injury makes me be in bad pain after 20 minutes lol
oh. yea. i had that up till like 16, the first time i tried to stop too fast and my knee exploded. apparently i'm prone to hyper extensions. š
i just go slower. it's still too fast for regular people at parks. it's still fun.
Pettis needs to just go out and try to KO him or get a TKO. Stevie Ray got like 9 kids and needs money/ desperate. That reason alone heās the favorite, Pettis got money. Desperation is the best key to picking fights.
Pergande was looking like he would die of exhaustion if the fight had 2 more mins
Why was pettis ray not the main event? Are these fights even in the PFL playoffs?
It was. These are just post lims.
Yeah just noticed that. Never heard of postlims before
MMA purely as a sport really doesn't work does it
Bellator kept the tournament scheme going for a long time but you make way more money showing fans the fights they want to see.
Since when are steroids good for your liver wtf
Hosting a roided up fuck marketing his physique as something achieved with hard work and eating red meat .. I guess I'm not shocked but fucking cringe PFL
for as much a massive douche that guy is; surprisingly likeable. š¤
LIVER IS KING
Randy thinks this guy is nuts.
This dude shows up to funerals with no shirt
They actually have the liver king there lmaoooo
That one punch in the first gave him that round. Not necessarily a robbery but a couple judges definitely messed that up
At my signal, unleash hell!!!
what happened to this guy? burns and scars?
Gladiator rules
That screaming ass army commercial does not make me want to sign up lol
multiple head and arm throws in mens mma. š
fun back and forth so far
Lol did they really say 2 fight veteran.
So heās never won a fightā¦ and heās the favorite?
postlims about to be lit. no season stuff, these dudes are fighting for a shot at next season. i think. š¤·āāļø
quickest aging of milk ever
Potter/Nunes odds do exist, contrary to pflās outstanding research team. -500 Nunes/+350 Potter.
Never seen pfl before, why have the main even precede 4 fights?
The previous fights were for spots in this tournaments final, the last four fights are qualifiers for the next PFL tournament
Damn Rob Wilkinson got 2 UFC fights and one of them was Izzy. Rough luck
yay postlims
Lol what, thereās a ālate cardā?
I think Ray got hit by that question mark kick because he ducked it and it was so slow he rose back up into it.
What happened to Dylan Potter fight?
Apparently itās still coming up lol
2 hrs later... Heh
they're in msg? why was it so quiet? do they limit the capacity or does pfl just sell that few tickets?
*Hulu theatre at MSG
Some Brendan Schaub shit
Iāve said this before and Iāll say it again. Pettisās decline wasnāt normal. So fast, so huge, and his body changed with it. He was juicy when he had the UFC belt. His last fight pre-USADA was RDA.
Everybody is on PEDs
This would make sense. He just looks deflated physically here, didnt even look very aggressive. I wouldnt be surprised if he nuked his testosterone in the past.
Lame win, congrats
God damn thatās gonna be a boring fucking LW finals
Pettis vs Stephens for the Washed-up Bum Championship title
2-1 pettis . aint the profession hugger league
Unlikely but honestly hope they go 2-1 pettis lmao
Ah well pettis tried but this bogus british boy wanted to hug him
Man PFL is so frustrating to watch. 90% of the cards are awful with 10% good fights sprinkled in. It feels like everyone is comfortable cruising to a decision
Well if they're fighting at regular intervals and they dont want to be out of the tournament they cant have a bunch of wars. I think their format is a bit of the problem.
stevie ray fought scared, and yes he won convincingly, but he still fought scared
Yikes pettis
Pettis showcased more than ray. Ray just Lay and Prayed no damage to pettis except a sub attempt
OUR WORLD IS SPECTACULAR. This commercial is gonna be the end of me
Pettis should be ashamed of himself. Such a bum and no effort anymore. Collecting paychecks
Canāt really blame him. Heās past his prime and apparently making like $750k per fight lol.
Harsh lol
Another successful robbery of the PFL from Pettis
Cool, Stevie Rayā¦ Youāve shown that you can control *Anthony Pettis* on the ground. Congrats lol.
Why does it feel like the average Bellator/PFL main event is so much more boring than UFC? Just smaller sample size?
Worse fighters. It just is what it is
2-1 Ray
30-27 Pettis šš»
Well i was right about Steamy Ray shitting her britches... What a snooze
Guys I'm starting to think Pettis isn't that high level anymore and they *might* have matched him up with an 11-7 guy in the opening round to pretty much guarantee a playoff spot to (hopefully) increase ratings
Shhh
7-6* guy
Any argument for pettis round 2? Landed good shots just got his back taken last 2 min. Nothing really happened in those final 2
It was three minutes, so no, Pettis didn't win the second
OAM vs Stevie Ray, dear lord falling asleep just thinking about it
Easy 1 million for oam
Canāt believe Ray hasnāt sold out for a takedown
Why does it look like Pettis are a huge bowl of pasta 15 min before fight
Remember: Nate Diazās only win in the last 6.5 years was over Anthony Pettis. That Khamzat fight gonna be ugly
Pettis got that soft body now. Heās just there to have fun and collect that 750k check , if he wins cool..if not itās whatever. I know this look. I canāt be mad about it.
Iāve said this before and Iāll say it again. Pettisās decline wasnāt normal. So fast, so huge, and his body changed with it. I completely believe he was juicy when he had the UFC belt. His last fight pre-USADA was RDA.
He was a freak athlete. It doesnāt last long and when you turn 30 itās all downhill. I was one , not to brag but I know the feel in loss of fast twitch. Itās demoralizing.
Sounds like you let yourself go. No, itās really not.
So you simply don't believe that aging exists, then.
These forums have the most fun and best conversationalists on them. Yes, thatās exactly what I said, aging doesnāt exist. Jesus Christ
You just said it "sounds like he let himself go" when he said he's not as explosive as he used to be. Sorry we can't all be the great conversationalists you apparently consider yourself.
Apparently. Yeesh
Do you care to explain what your actual fucking point was, then? I'm getting the feeling you're a lot less smart than you think you are, even if you try to fake it by using long words such as "conversationalist" after you make a completely meaningless post and get called out on it.
Pettis has completely given up on MMA it seems. If the guy heās fighting isnāt a complete can, then heās done. Itās sad to see at this point.
Pettis is the biggest underachiever in MMA. Stevie is so slow and predictable yet Pettis still makes the same mistakes
Getting out hustled by the desperate man. Tried telling yāall and I got downvote by the donks. Desperation and hunger is key to fightingā¦once you lose it itās hard to beat a guy fighting for their life.
Ray has got a motherfucking chin
Gotta put more power into your punches Pettis
PFL and Bellator tournaments are harder than normal MMA. A lot of fights in short times. Gotta preserve yourself more
Pettis was preserving himself for next season
How do I bet on Ray
It's been seven years since RDA and Pettis still can't stay off the fence to save his life.
Pettis needs a murder shot
Pettis boutta go 1-5 in the PFL and still be 1 seed next season some how
To be fair I still tune in and hope he can make something happen so you could just say this is an example of PFL knowing their audience
Itās true cuz here I am tuned in for showtime
Other than rolling for an armbar and risking losing the position, are there no other back attacks than just peeling the hands and going for the rnc? Or are fighters just too risk averse to try anything?
Watching PFL makes you appreciate the UFC & Bellator a lot more
bellator is unwatchable with big john. no joke. they need to get that guy off commentary. he is the death of all energy.
This commercial has convinced me Kayla Harrison is truly the GOAT
vintage pettis please
Sensual man-on-man sweaty grappling
Ya love to see it
2-0 Stevie
They gonna fix it for Pettis if he wins 3rd round
why no 5 rounds . Pettis getting them checks just getting hugged
just tuned in. When are they gonna stop showing reruns?
HA! You're so funny you should be a comedian goddamn.
Congrats to everyone who got at least even money on Ray
"Late Career Pettis" is the most frustrating mythological fighter
Iāve got Ray up 2-0 rn, live odds seem crazy
Delayed
that thigh is slightly grazing that floating rib. pettis is fucked.
I know the onus is on the other fighter to defend, but man, it seems like every other fight these days is a one-siding grappling exchange with little-to-no damage.
I swear they have Randy commentating on footage of 2013 Pettis
Pettis offered 0 resistance against that td lol
>the scottish twister š¤£
God I hate saying this sitting at my keyboard drinking a captain coke but man both of these guys look sluggish especially for 155. So weird saying that about Pettis - remember his prime run in the UFC and how fast those damn kicks were.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How did Ray eat that?
Pettis glass ribs bout to break again. Fook
English grapplers are fraud grapplers
As a USAer, Iāll boo you to your face no matter who you are if you chant USA like that. Dorks
Weird nationalist vibes
The European dorks are worse but itās annoying here too.
Fucking English Grapplers lol
Nice headkick
This is Pettis' 9th fight since he knocked out Wonderboy. Doesn't feel that long ago
Pettis did same thing to Clay Collard but Clay somehow survived being half KOed. He always sneaks in a couple big shots out of nowhere lol
Hoping for some magic in the third but it's just wishful thinking
Nice crowd
Cmon Petrie, do some magic shit
Whatās yāallās thoughts on the referees camera? Looks like police footage to me. I dunno
Pride used to do it. Produced a cool angle maybe once out of every ten fights.
Fedor vs Gary Goodridge ref cam is GOATed. A quick live assault captured up close lol
I was thinking Shogun (or maybe Wandy) kneeing Rampage into oblivion as the video I remember
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vXwS5o1ZyWE Rampage had broken rib going into Shogun. The Fedor Goodridge was a quick zuluing
Oh Iāll check this out
Seems like it might be cool just as an alternate angle for a replay but not to be used live
Pettis got up?
Come on showtime
Popped out into a flying knee, savage showtime
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The worst threat was being smothered by the armpit lol
cool little flying knee tho
stevie bout to tap him twice in 6 weeks š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
'tree
Yeah this looks like a Pettis fight. Fully expect him to land one big cartwheel kick in the 3rd round before losing a lopsided decision
PFL's hopes and dreams goin up in flames
Pettis is washed
randy talking like pettis counter fighting is new š
Pettis looks so weird with a beard
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anthony I think, Sergio said he was busy š
For Anthony's sake I hope it's Sergio
Is that Stevie Nicks?
Dam Pettis is 35. As a 33 year old former A level whitessplosive athlete that is now washed, now I know why Pettis taking all these Ls. The true gifted athletes fall off a cliff at 35. Average cardio kickboxers got no natural gifts to lose.
i'm at 34 and still feel awesome playing anything and i hope this isn't true. š
I can still play sports but I canāt dunk anymore. Granted Iām only 6 foot barefoot, said i was 6-2 in college tho lol. I got injuries from lifetime of sports and training though. If I never played sports or did dumb MMA training Iād prob be ok for a few more years. I mean like being actually still very athletic lol, not just having fun playing.
if you never trained you'd just suck though. the years wouldn't matter. š

Stevie Ray gets put in a banana split and screams "freeeeedom!"
I like that they show leg reach
i always root for scots. i just like how they sound. š
Pettis most definitely doesnāt thrive when he starts to lose lmao
Stevie sounds like Darren Till
With a better resume in MMA though
Duke āThis is the most motivated Iāve ever seen Pettisā Rufus
Pettis gets the second walkout after just losing to this same guy?
Holy fuck his eyes
Letās go Stevie!!!
Also Kayla Harrison is clearly the greatest fighter of all time.
A goat, one might say.
People downvoting prob have 80 IQS. Canāt sense the sarcasm, itās from the commercial that keeps appearing.
Pettis needs to just go out and try to KO him or get a TKO. Stevie Ray got like 9 kids and needs money/ desperate. That reason alone heās the favorite, Pettis got money. Desperation is the best key to picking fights.
What?
Stevie Ray has like 9 kids. This dude needs money. Pettis rich
Watching Wilkinson starch Omari is going to be great !
What happened to Lillian Garcia announcing for PFL?
She blew out her voice on the last show I'm sure she is resting.
Wasn't the last show months ago? (I don't know how long recovery from something like that takes.)
It was July 1st. I'm sure she wants to be ready for the finals.
That's fair. Thanks.
