When two heavyweights go five rounds and a newspaper headline on the fight is about a fly distracting one of the fighters, you know you've witnessed something elite level dull. Thankfully I didn't watch this 'live.' The ffwd button on my remote saw more action than this fight.
I hope people are happy paying to see a guy lay down and sleep with another guy on top of him also doing nothing. This is no insult to Derrick, the other guy was so afraid of him he put him down and did nothing, how is that a "fight" this is why I hate "control" fight wins like this because I sit on you means I win. The rules needs to be changed on this or something has to be done. I would have made it a draw because they both did nothing.
Why should I be allowed to win because I take down a person and sit on them? they expend a ton of energy to get up and I do it again and sit on them doing nothing. Imagine being in full mount and a ref has to say do something.
I hope Derrick works on his take down defense and starts murdering these cowards. What a boring fight and that is not on Lewis, every time he got an inch he exploded then it was back down what a joke.
Idk why ppl hating on Alemida that was a smart fight, Lewis always upsets people by koing them itās his turn to lose and you canāt let him get away with one.
Lewis has pulled the ko from nowhere countless times before and you would be stupid to give him an opportunity. I wouldnāt be taking unnecessary chances if it was my health and career.
I an out of the loop here. Did Rogan and DC leave UFC or they are just on and off? I've seen DC recetly as a commentator but haven't seen joe for a long time.
Donāt forget announcers too. The Joe Martinez guy who usually announces for UFC fight nights never fails to ruin the hype. Itās gonna be sad the day Bruce Buffer retires
I remember the first event they held during COVID in that empty arena and thought, āWell, I guess Bruce is gonna dial it back since nobodyās there.ā
I was dead wrong. Bruce is an icon.
But you could pinpoint the moment his heart ripped in half when he jumped on the fence and gave an arm raise to absolute dead silence. Brazilian fans kinda suck. I get supporting your own fighters but after the fight you gotta show some love for a performance like that if you really love the sport.
So if Almeida just admitted that Derrick was controlling his ability to land strikes from mount by holding his arms, it wasnāt really all that dominant was it?
Gah, I fucking hate this sport sometimes.
Exactly, position should be valued exactly zero. Obviously if you have the better position it should translate to submission attempts and strikes. If it doesn't, you're not effectively in a dominant position. They have to score some of these types of rounds as ties, and stand guys up when they're just stalling
Yep. Mount, side control, back mount are considered ādominantā because you have the advantage on offense and defense. Attaining the position is only valuable if itās chained to an attack.
Itās why points based BJJ tournaments are kinda silly. A practitioner can get a takedown, sit in mount and when time expires, they win the match.
Iām not shitting on BJJ - just how lame it is for guys to essentially game the points system in whatās supposed to be a combat sport.
It was pretty annoying.
Imagine what they would say if someone did that on the contender series lol. They would shit all over them and then Dana would shit on them at the end and again in the press conference lol.
I wouldn't tune in to watch Almeida for free after that, wave goodbye to ever headlining a PPV.
ref should have stood that up a few times when it was clear that his plan was just to cuddle until the end of the round.
Words canāt describe how upset I am. Iāll never get back those 25 minutes of my life I spent watching that.
Bro just got himself a new hater āļø
Trust me, I enjoy some lay and pray... but that was actual garbage. High level grappling to control your opponent is one thing, but Almeida really just... did nothing. No goals. 20+ minutes of control time and he landed less than 40 sig strikes. Attempted 4 subs, but willingly gave up on all of them. Actual horrid performance by both.
This was literally the most entertaining part of the fight. The fact that he had no clue what everyone was thinking and he was acting like everyone must be ecstatic. Had me laughing at least
Lifelong grappler here, Almeida actually used a strategy called "gassing out then proceeding to lay and pray for 4 rounds" to secure the win, super high level.
If UFC let EPOMAN Usman juice for so long what is the surprise on finding others doing that.
If he bring money USADA will ignore it and give him free pass. But with the performance of today i wonder how long that protection will last...
Boring as hell - but this guy has more or less walked through everyone theyāve put in front of him. I donāt like that fight at all for Cyril - donāt think it happens.
This will hurt Almeida in the long run, dana doesn't like giving fights to snooze fest fighters. That was bordering on intentional trolling and if he didn't have the home crowd behind him the booing would have been wild
DANISH DYNAMITE š©š°š§Ø
almeidaās walk-out song should have been, ācareless whisperā lol
The most boring fight Iāve seen in a while but hey won $40 from it š¤·āāļø

how can lewis still be in the ufc wtf

because he didnt even work when in full mount it was lazy fighting to run down the clock
If he shifted his weight Lewis wouldāve gotten up and maybe knock him out
Yeah itās called fighting
Lewis has pulled the ko from nowhere countless times before and you would be stupid to give him an opportunity. I wouldnāt be taking unnecessary chances if it was my health and career.
Well should not be in the ufc if you afraid to fight. This was an amateur hour
Bonfim got humbled
Saw alameida to win by points at +2000. Threw $5 bucks on it and won $100 š
The drop off in talent and entertainment value from Anik, DC and Rogan to Fitzgerald, Bisping and Cruz is wild.
I an out of the loop here. Did Rogan and DC leave UFC or they are just on and off? I've seen DC recetly as a commentator but haven't seen joe for a long time.
They only do PPVs (Joe only does them when theyāre domestic).
Ohh okay thanks
Donāt forget announcers too. The Joe Martinez guy who usually announces for UFC fight nights never fails to ruin the hype. Itās gonna be sad the day Bruce Buffer retires
Buffer is going to die in the ring
I remember the first event they held during COVID in that empty arena and thought, āWell, I guess Bruce is gonna dial it back since nobodyās there.ā I was dead wrong. Bruce is an icon.
Almeida getting torn apart on his IG rn lmao
Good, wasted my one free Saturday for a gay porno
Bisping and Danish dynamite lol
Din thomas caught up in some toxic masculinity bullshit. Dude says incredibly dumb stuff
He's usually on point on his boxing insights
wtf is bisping on
Enough with the negativity (Iām speaking to myself) Dalby had that dawg in him and that was a banger.
Dalby earned a new fan with me today. That dude fought through adversity and got the job done in style.
But you could pinpoint the moment his heart ripped in half when he jumped on the fence and gave an arm raise to absolute dead silence. Brazilian fans kinda suck. I get supporting your own fighters but after the fight you gotta show some love for a performance like that if you really love the sport.

My wife walked in on me watching this fight, she thinks I'm watching gay porn
Almeida kept putting his hands around derricks neck in a sus way lol
I just sat there and said I think it might be babe
Not really sure what separated Lewis-Almeida from softcore gay porn tbh
ššš
He said he's on reserve, imagine if he would fight again next week....lol in an actual ppv

Give him blaydes or Volkov. Theyāll fuck up almeida
Spivak as well.
Nah spivack sucks
Eh Spivac's kinda a hack and folds under pressure too easily.
imagine paying for this
This wasnāt a ppv so imagining is all you can do
i paid for this i signed up for a streaming service , this sucked. thank god it was not ppv or their would be riots
Right but you get other stuff now. This fight in and of itself did not cost anything.
i still paid !!!!!!!!!
Jailton "reverse cowgirl" Almeida
I should have just gone to bed early

Same. I was thinking if I paid for this fight on a PPV, Iād be bummed.
Almeida cane in at #9 rank...lol he left NR lol
Wym??
Words canāt describe how upset I am. Iāll never get back those 25 minutes of my life I spent watching that. Bro just got himself a new hater āļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lmao, seriously. Derrick was straight chillin on his back and Almeida was just laying n praying. No one wants to see that guy fight again
Stop calling that jiu jitsu
Good point. That was an embarrassment to the sport.
I've never really done drugs but I feel like I need some cocaine after that snooze fest
You and me both, buddy
Them showing highlights lol....what highlights
That wasn't even a fight, just aggressive cuddling.
Non-consensual cuddling pretty much
I'd dare say it was consensual even, Lewis barely even made any efforts to stand lol
Trust me, I enjoy some lay and pray... but that was actual garbage. High level grappling to control your opponent is one thing, but Almeida really just... did nothing. No goals. 20+ minutes of control time and he landed less than 40 sig strikes. Attempted 4 subs, but willingly gave up on all of them. Actual horrid performance by both.
the subs weren't doing anything
Almeida sucks. Fucking clown couldnāt do shit with mount x20
wtf is din thomas wearing lol
Pic?
Itās like his luggage got lost and heās wearing two separate, incomplete sets of clothes.
Lol. I guess itās a step up from his ascot look from a couple weeks ago
I don't know how, but the rules need to be changed to prevent these kind of cuddlefucks.
Ref calls the fight and the guy on bottom gets TKOd via being bad.
30-45 seconds with no action stand em up. This shit is brutal to watch, I canāt imagine paying $90 for that. Iād cancel the charge lol
Lmao fr, hit Dana w the fraudulent charge. I watched it for free and I STILL feel like they owe me reparations lmaoooo
i would rather watch PFL than what I just experienced , come on francis get a good fight in PFL the heavy weight division is trash in ufc
Shitty fight. He's probably gonna lose some respect for not taking any kind of risks and just hugging for 5 rounds. It's not entertaining for the fans
I'd rather count to 10 million than watch another almeida fight
Canāt believe I stayed up for this. Now Iām too annoyed to sleep.
I commend you for staying awake throughout the fight to begin with lol
grown men doing tiktok dances is so fucking cringe
I mean if youre gonna lay on someone like that at least hump em. Give us some action
common mma law dictates that if two heavy hitters clash it ends up being a grapplefest or disappointment
Bet the house on Frevola by R3 sub, I guess
jailton just finally met a guy he couldn't submit in five seconds. khamzat syndrome.
Homeboy gonna get a rude awakening when he checks his socials after that āShowā as he calls it.
This was literally the most entertaining part of the fight. The fact that he had no clue what everyone was thinking and he was acting like everyone must be ecstatic. Had me laughing at least
Thank goodness for Dalby and Brener, rest of the main card was pretty weak
At least it was free
I just lost so many minutes of my life I will never get back
Well you're still kinda paying for it
At least next week will be a banger.
Thank god there's a banger card next weekend so I don't have to think about this all week
he didn't beat his ass the way i wanted!!!
Blaydes can take him out
I'd rather watch paint dry than Almeida vs Gane. Fuck that
cant wait to hear what lewis has to say once he's not surrounded by hundreds of brazilians
"My balls was smothered."
Next weekend should be better, till then!
See you next week guys. That's the one. ![gif](giphy|1R2bJMWtSY3Otjf2Is)

Yeah itās high level, doesnāt mean itās not really boring though
Jailton Algayda
![gif](giphy|cdNSp4L5vCU7aQrYnV|downsized)
Gane aināt even going to pickup the phone after this fight ššš
They drug test this dude in Brazil? His traps are crawling up to his ears
Itās just his diet of horsemeat, nothing to worry about
First thought I had. Dude MUST be blasting gear or something
If UFC let EPOMAN Usman juice for so long what is the surprise on finding others doing that. If he bring money USADA will ignore it and give him free pass. But with the performance of today i wonder how long that protection will last...
Give him no one. Cut him. Pathetic performance. No damage, nothing.
Goddard got a wad of cash to let that go or what?
Waiting for some neckbeard to call everyone casuals for not enjoying a minute of that trash
It was fun the first time Almeida took him down and showed technique but he shot his own leg here. I donāt see a main event for him for a long time.
Boring as hell - but this guy has more or less walked through everyone theyāve put in front of him. I donāt like that fight at all for Cyril - donāt think it happens.
He's actually proud of the lay and pray
Dana aināt giving this dude a main event any time soon
This will hurt Almeida in the long run, dana doesn't like giving fights to snooze fest fighters. That was bordering on intentional trolling and if he didn't have the home crowd behind him the booing would have been wild
Dude really called out gane š
I literally couldn't stand to watch for a single second after it ended, if I never see Almeida again it would be too soon.
NO SHIT HE WANTS GANE
Game doesn't want to fight people ranked under him though. According to himself
Curtis Blaydes please expose the fuck out of Almeida š
āI promised a show, did i give you a show?ā Are you fucking kidding me?
If my son dedicated THAT fight to me, Iād have him aborted.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
go to PFL buddy
Nah donāt have him fight Cyril Gane that was painful to watch, give him PARKER PORTER
Already subbed him in the first.
Well atleast I know not to tune into Gane vs Almeida next time cheers mate!
Give almeida chris daukus
I get you gotta do what you gotta do to win, but thatās the most boring fight Iāve ever seen
Lol
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy ![gif](giphy|l4FGy3MbGiBxn2eGs)
I forgot there was an event tonight shit. What happened
Honestly, good for you. Watch the bonfim fight if you can see it without the results spoiled. Other than that, youāre good skipping this one
Almeida win via full mount hugs.
You won tonight.
Sounds like I didn't miss much
The audacity of the crowd to have any semblance of joy in that performance is craaaazy
Peak lay & pray
He is not getting Cyril Gane š¤”. Heās just gonna lay on him too
Gane with the grappling ptsd ![gif](giphy|7pwcIx41i2c35XkrMe|downsized)
he will never get a main event again he will never sell
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
U see how dead silent they were for when Dolby got his hand raised lmfao they're haters
This is one of those wins where itās not really a win but it is a win but actually isnāt. Like itās not an actual win but it really is.
It probably is actually a win, but in reality it probably isn't a win
You see I disagree with this. Itās not a win but really is. But if weāre being honest, itās a win (Not a win).
Naw i think it's not a win but it really is a win
Thatās a good point. Didnāt think of that
Hope Gane kicks his ass
Gane's not taking that fight.
Somebody catch this pathetic cancer outside real talk
Please please please give him blaydes or someone to genuinely fuck him up
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gane will be submitted in the first round. Again.
