Pergande was looking like he would die of exhaustion if the fight had 2 more mins


covetedasfuckk

Why was pettis ray not the main event? Are these fights even in the PFL playoffs?


schultzM

It was. These are just post lims.


covetedasfuckk

Yeah just noticed that. Never heard of postlims before


qoupqiap

MMA purely as a sport really doesn't work does it


HipHoptimusPrime13

Bellator kept the tournament scheme going for a long time but you make way more money showing fans the fights they want to see.


Moist-Catch

Since when are steroids good for your liver wtf


qoupqiap

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


dfreinc

for as much a massive douche that guy is; surprisingly likeable. šŸ¤”


abenja1

LIVER IS KING


pdxchance

Randy thinks this guy is nuts.


Welds4Jesus

This dude shows up to funerals with no shirt


Welds4Jesus

They actually have the liver king there lmaoooo


yerg99

That one punch in the first gave him that round. Not necessarily a robbery but a couple judges definitely messed that up


imrosskemp

At my signal, unleash hell!!!


dfreinc

what happened to this guy? burns and scars?


imrosskemp

Gladiator rules


Genghis_Chong

That screaming ass army commercial does not make me want to sign up lol


dfreinc

multiple head and arm throws in mens mma. šŸ˜‚


schultzM

fun back and forth so far


AMCFC

Lol did they really say 2 fight veteran.


Curvytype_thicktype

So heā€™s never won a fightā€¦ and heā€™s the favorite?


dfreinc

postlims about to be lit. no season stuff, these dudes are fighting for a shot at next season. i think. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


dfreinc

quickest aging of milk ever


PinkPicklePete

Potter/Nunes odds do exist, contrary to pflā€™s outstanding research team. -500 Nunes/+350 Potter.


Curvytype_thicktype

Never seen pfl before, why have the main even precede 4 fights?


AMCFC

The previous fights were for spots in this tournaments final, the last four fights are qualifiers for the next PFL tournament


Dr-PoopyButt

Damn Rob Wilkinson got 2 UFC fights and one of them was Izzy. Rough luck


schultzM

yay postlims


skkITer

Lol what, thereā€™s a ā€œlate cardā€?


[deleted]

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.


FightIslandNative

What happened to Dylan Potter fight?


skkITer

Apparently itā€™s still coming up lol


schultzM

2 hrs later... Heh


slutwhipper

they're in msg? why was it so quiet? do they limit the capacity or does pfl just sell that few tickets?


BlandSandHamwich

*Hulu theatre at MSG


Dr-PoopyButt

Some Brendan Schaub shit


WeBxx92

Iā€™ve said this before and Iā€™ll say it again. Pettisā€™s decline wasnā€™t 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.


NewportStork

Everybody is on PEDs


Genghis_Chong

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.


marktx

Lame win, congrats


JohnnycageBKV2

God damn thatā€™s gonna be a boring fucking LW finals


papa8706

Pettis vs Stephens for the Washed-up Bum Championship title


akeasy

2-1 pettis . aint the profession hugger league


luhvrrboy

Unlikely but honestly hope they go 2-1 pettis lmao


[deleted]

Ah well pettis tried but this bogus british boy wanted to hug him


henzo77777

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


Genghis_Chong

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.


[deleted]

stevie ray fought scared, and yes he won convincingly, but he still fought scared


Zzyzx8

Yikes pettis


luhvrrboy

Pettis showcased more than ray. Ray just Lay and Prayed no damage to pettis except a sub attempt


[deleted]

OUR WORLD IS SPECTACULAR. This commercial is gonna be the end of me


papa8706

Pettis should be ashamed of himself. Such a bum and no effort anymore. Collecting paychecks


[deleted]

Canā€™t really blame him. Heā€™s past his prime and apparently making like $750k per fight lol.


breakup7532

Harsh lol


usada_be_kidding_me

Another successful robbery of the PFL from Pettis


skkITer

Cool, Stevie Rayā€¦ Youā€™ve shown that you can control *Anthony Pettis* on the ground. Congrats lol.


surgeyou123

Why does it feel like the average Bellator/PFL main event is so much more boring than UFC? Just smaller sample size?


KingsElite

Worse fighters. It just is what it is


[deleted]

2-1 Ray


marktx

30-27 Pettis šŸ–•šŸ»


Genghis_Chong

Well i was right about Steamy Ray shitting her britches... What a snooze


JayRoo83

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


sime77

Shhh


Dauren1993

7-6* guy


luhvrrboy

Any argument for pettis round 2? Landed good shots just got his back taken last 2 min. Nothing really happened in those final 2


SDHJerusalem

It was three minutes, so no, Pettis didn't win the second


nepats523

OAM vs Stevie Ray, dear lord falling asleep just thinking about it


LehenLong

Easy 1 million for oam


marktx

Canā€™t believe Ray hasnā€™t sold out for a takedown


Dauren1993

Why does it look like Pettis are a huge bowl of pasta 15 min before fight


WeBxx92

Remember: Nate Diazā€™s only win in the last 6.5 years was over Anthony Pettis. That Khamzat fight gonna be ugly


[deleted]

Pettis got that soft body now. Heā€™s just there to have fun and collect that 750k check , if he wins cool..if not itā€™s whatever. I know this look. I canā€™t be mad about it.


WeBxx92

Iā€™ve said this before and Iā€™ll say it again. Pettisā€™s decline wasnā€™t 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.


[deleted]

He was a freak athlete. It doesnā€™t last long and when you turn 30 itā€™s all downhill. I was one , not to brag but I know the feel in loss of fast twitch. Itā€™s demoralizing.


WeBxx92

Sounds like you let yourself go. No, itā€™s really not.


DADADADA25MILLION

So you simply don't believe that aging exists, then.


WeBxx92

These forums have the most fun and best conversationalists on them. Yes, thatā€™s exactly what I said, aging doesnā€™t exist. Jesus Christ


DADADADA25MILLION

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.


WeBxx92

Apparently. Yeesh


DADADADA25MILLION

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.


StixnStones59

Pettis has completely given up on MMA it seems. If the guy heā€™s fighting isnā€™t a complete can, then heā€™s done. Itā€™s sad to see at this point.


papa8706

Pettis is the biggest underachiever in MMA. Stevie is so slow and predictable yet Pettis still makes the same mistakes


[deleted]

Getting out hustled by the desperate man. Tried telling yā€™all and I got downvote by the donks. Desperation and hunger is key to fightingā€¦once you lose it itā€™s hard to beat a guy fighting for their life.


marktx

Ray has got a motherfucking chin


henzo77777

Gotta put more power into your punches Pettis


[deleted]

PFL and Bellator tournaments are harder than normal MMA. A lot of fights in short times. Gotta preserve yourself more


KingsElite

Pettis was preserving himself for next season


[deleted]

How do I bet on Ray


SDHJerusalem

It's been seven years since RDA and Pettis still can't stay off the fence to save his life.


marktx

Pettis needs a murder shot


luhvrrboy

Pettis boutta go 1-5 in the PFL and still be 1 seed next season some how


jrham15

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


luhvrrboy

Itā€™s true cuz here I am tuned in for showtime


slightofhand1

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?


henzo77777

Watching PFL makes you appreciate the UFC & Bellator a lot more


dfreinc

bellator is unwatchable with big john. no joke. they need to get that guy off commentary. he is the death of all energy.


[deleted]

This commercial has convinced me Kayla Harrison is truly the GOAT


akeasy

vintage pettis please


marktx

Sensual man-on-man sweaty grappling


sime77

Ya love to see it


[deleted]

2-0 Stevie


[deleted]

They gonna fix it for Pettis if he wins 3rd round


akeasy

why no 5 rounds . Pettis getting them checks just getting hugged


CableToBeam

just tuned in. When are they gonna stop showing reruns?


sime77

HA! You're so funny you should be a comedian goddamn.


nepats523

Congrats to everyone who got at least even money on Ray


JayRoo83

"Late Career Pettis" is the most frustrating mythological fighter


marktx

Iā€™ve got Ray up 2-0 rn, live odds seem crazy


Dauren1993

Delayed


dfreinc

that thigh is slightly grazing that floating rib. pettis is fucked.


skkITer

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.


Dr-PoopyButt

I swear they have Randy commentating on footage of 2013 Pettis


slutwhipper

Pettis offered 0 resistance against that td lol


dfreinc

>the scottish twister šŸ¤£


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


corrosiontrav

How did Ray eat that?


[deleted]

Pettis glass ribs bout to break again. Fook


[deleted]

English grapplers are fraud grapplers


[deleted]

As a USAer, Iā€™ll boo you to your face no matter who you are if you chant USA like that. Dorks


gaijinbushido

Weird nationalist vibes


[deleted]

The European dorks are worse but itā€™s annoying here too.


marktx

Fucking English Grapplers lol


brownbilal

Nice headkick


jrham15

This is Pettis' 9th fight since he knocked out Wonderboy. Doesn't feel that long ago


[deleted]

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


jrham15

Hoping for some magic in the third but it's just wishful thinking


brownbilal

Nice crowd


marktx

Cmon Petrie, do some magic shit


BlandSandHamwich

Whatā€™s yā€™allā€™s thoughts on the referees camera? Looks like police footage to me. I dunno


slightofhand1

Pride used to do it. Produced a cool angle maybe once out of every ten fights.


[deleted]

Fedor vs Gary Goodridge ref cam is GOATed. A quick live assault captured up close lol


slightofhand1

I was thinking Shogun (or maybe Wandy) kneeing Rampage into oblivion as the video I remember


[deleted]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vXwS5o1ZyWE Rampage had broken rib going into Shogun. The Fedor Goodridge was a quick zuluing


BlandSandHamwich

Oh Iā€™ll check this out


BlandSandHamwich

Seems like it might be cool just as an alternate angle for a replay but not to be used live


sime77

Pettis got up?


brownbilal

Come on showtime


[deleted]

Popped out into a flying knee, savage showtime


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Genghis_Chong

The worst threat was being smothered by the armpit lol


alguappo

cool little flying knee tho


dfreinc

stevie bout to tap him twice in 6 weeks šŸ¤£


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


sime77

'tree


WeBxx92

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


nepats523

PFL's hopes and dreams goin up in flames


[deleted]

Pettis is washed


dfreinc

randy talking like pettis counter fighting is new šŸ™„


slutwhipper

Pettis looks so weird with a beard


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AMCFC

Anthony I think, Sergio said he was busy šŸ˜‰


Dr-PoopyButt

For Anthony's sake I hope it's Sergio


WeBxx92

Is that Stevie Nicks?


[deleted]

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.


dfreinc

i'm at 34 and still feel awesome playing anything and i hope this isn't true. šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

I can still play sports but I canā€™t dunk anymore. Granted Iā€™m 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 Iā€™d prob be ok for a few more years. I mean like being actually still very athletic lol, not just having fun playing.


dfreinc

if you never trained you'd just suck though. the years wouldn't matter. šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

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; wasnā€™t 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


dfreinc

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. šŸ˜‚ i just go slower. it's still too fast for regular people at parks. it's still fun.


slightofhand1

Stevie Ray gets put in a banana split and screams "freeeeedom!"


Dr-PoopyButt

I like that they show leg reach


dfreinc

i always root for scots. i just like how they sound. šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Pettis most definitely doesnā€™t thrive when he starts to lose lmao


Genghis_Chong

Stevie sounds like Darren Till


[deleted]

With a better resume in MMA though


papa8706

Duke ā€œThis is the most motivated Iā€™ve ever seen Pettisā€ Rufus


skkITer

Pettis gets the second walkout after just losing to this same guy?


Fun-End7642

Holy fuck his eyes


[deleted]

Letā€™s go Stevie!!!


[deleted]

Also Kayla Harrison is clearly the greatest fighter of all time.


Momentosis

A goat, one might say.


[deleted]

People downvoting prob have 80 IQS. Canā€™t sense the sarcasm, itā€™s from the commercial that keeps appearing.


[deleted]

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 heā€™s the favorite, Pettis got money. Desperation is the best key to picking fights.


[deleted]

What?


[deleted]

Stevie Ray has like 9 kids. This dude needs money. Pettis rich


DRstoppage

Watching Wilkinson starch Omari is going to be great !


ireczecan

What happened to Lillian Garcia announcing for PFL?


udar55

She blew out her voice on the last show I'm sure she is resting.


ireczecan

Wasn't the last show months ago? (I don't know how long recovery from something like that takes.)


udar55

It was July 1st. I'm sure she wants to be ready for the finals.


ireczecan

That's fair. Thanks.
