Have you ever been more scared after a UFC fight? 😨

Raoni Barcelos went out cold without taking a punch in the fifth round of his fight with Raul Rosas Jr.

kyle.dimond1d ago

Definitely. At least with other ones, you saw a punch or kick that caused it. This was scarier because it wasn’t clear what happened

dr.cheyno7d ago

Yeah 100% . Considering his head didn't really hit anything hard, at first I thought it was cardiac arrest. Glad he is ok though.

harvey.leonard8d ago

Definitely. Same feeling I got with the Burgos KO against Edson Barboza

What's next for Manel Kape?

harvey.leonard103d ago

Should be next after Pantoja. But could see the UFC passing him over just because of his track record for failed fights

jamie.theodosi104d ago

One of the most unreliable fighters on the roster. Make him wait.

kyle.dimond105d ago

Pantoja has been saying he's ready for a while now so I think Kape should just wait and fight the winner of Van vs Pantoja 2. He's already proven he's the next guy in line and I don't think there's anything he could do to leapfrog Pantoja.

Who wins the UFC Vegas 118 main event? Explain your pick in the comments below👇🏼

Muhammad is hoping to snap his two fight losing skid, whereas Bonfim is hoping to enter the top 5 at 170lbs!

harvey.leonard123d ago

Crossroads fight for Belal. I'd be shocked if he didn't have enough to have his hand raised

pvadodaria123d ago

Belal for the win by decision.

kyle.dimond124d ago

Backing Bonfim. Just think this fight might have come at the right time for him.

Which has the higher quality fights: UFC Vegas 117 or Ronda Rousey's comeback card? 🤔

riotgrafix144d ago

MVP MMA 1 all day. Alot of ufc cards lately have been trash.

pvadodaria144d ago

MVP any day, but I am a bit dissapointed that Mokaev vs Moraes fell through.

harvey.leonard145d ago

Skill-wise it is actually close. But Ngannou is arguably still the best heavyweight and Salahdine Parnasse is among Europe's best. The UFC card is not great at all

Is UFC Vegas 116 headliner Aljamain Sterling the most underappreciated fighter on the roster? 🤔

'Funk Master' broke records during his bantamweight title reign and is now pursuing a second championship.

riotgrafix144d ago

Na, Suga smoked him

pvadodaria156d ago

I would say Pantoja, his p4p rankings were always criminally low.

kyle.dimond161d ago

I'd agree with that. His style and the first fight with Yan and loss to O'Malley didn't help but he's been fighting top guys for such a long time.

After snapping his losing skid at UFC Vegas 115, what is next for 'Money' Moicano? 🤔

riotgrafix144d ago

Let's see T-City beat that a**

kyle.dimond182d ago

I'd be really interested to see him fight Gamrot. Love that matchup. It does mean him fighting another ATT teammate though.

harvey.leonard183d ago

Would watch the Paddy fight but feels like Moicano is unlikely to get that. Hooker is the best realistic option

Do you think Renato Moicano is an elite lightweight? 🤔

Tell us your thoughts on the UFC Vegas 115 headliner. ⬇️

harvey.leonard184d ago

Really hard to say with him. At his best, the way he dominated BSD was elite. But then sometimes he looks way off it. Too inconsistent to be among the lightweight elites I'd say

george.patten184d ago

No - Think ‘elite’ means you’re top 2 or 3 in your division

jordan.ellis184d ago

I think on his day he's top-5 worthy - but he's looked lucky to be in the rankings in his last couple.
