    Tony went from “oh his BJJ could match Khabib”

    …to lookin’ like a blue belt all night long.

    Didn’t defend or fight that arm triangle for one second.

    Salvador looks a bit cocky in there for someone who missed weight.

    EDIT: and he’s getting cracked left and right

      This random thought is brought to you by our friends at Modelo, the official beer of the UFC!

    May not matter in this fight, but Bonfim is chinny once they start throwing.

    EDIT: it didn’t matter

    Keep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.

    Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!

    Green by sub was not on my bingo card.

    I hope Tony retires rather than getting cut and going to some other org for more CTE.

    Tony has nothing more to give, really wish he would retire. I’m sad he hasn’t got the best prospects for post-fighting careers though. I don’t think he’s going to be good at commentary with the amount of CTE he’s got now. He won’t be in high demand as a coach because he’s so whacky with his style rather than being a technician. Feels bad man.

      Agreed. He’ll probably end up as a token unorthodox sparring partner in some random gym.

      EDIT: I don’t mean this disrespectfully, I just can’t see the dude leaving fighting behind.

      He didn’t used to be this bad but these days I feel like he is wrong about this type of thing all of the time.

    Fence grabs, attempted eye gouging, glove grabs, trying to pull Maverick’s top off multiple times, trying for a Brazilian tap. Cachoeira is such a piece of shit.

      I’d just like to see Tony make it out of the cage without getting too beat up. I think he has a shot if he can get it to the ground.
