Putting this up a bit early since I’ll be running around this afternoon. Fights start in four hours. Let’s go!

SoonerMagic,

Such a stacked card. Hope it delivers.

jscummy,

Looks like it has, to say the least

Thanks ugmug for putting this together! See everybody in a bit

I think with this community being so small that putting up the thread a little early is a good idea. If people show up early, they will know there is/will be a live thread. Plus it serves as a little pregame thread.

Yeah - and once we get the event going I'm going to put posts up in other areas of the fediverse to get more people over.

sin_free_for_00_days,

Just placed a $20 parlay on Bo, Robert, Brandon, Jalin and Yair. I never win these dumb bets, but it would be a fun payoff.

I lost all my money on my nephew's tee ball game earlier.

Anyone know what’s going on with Volk’s cheek? He’s had a band aid on it for a few days now.

toastus,

I was wondering that as well, I guess the most probable explanation is that he simply got cut a bit in training.

ugmug,
ugmug avatar

That’s probably it. Hopefully nothing that will open easily if he gets cracked! At least it’s below his eye.

Everybody please BOOST this thread so we can get others from the Fediverse here.

Thanks.

Federation is working thankfully tonight (didn't last event) so our friends from Lemmy will be able to see us. Lets hope it holds, this event should be amazing.

UFC 290 is a stacked card! Hope to see some Lemmy MMA fans here tonight, too!

toastus,

federation issues must be instance specific because I still can't see this post from my lemmy account

luckily I also had a kbin account

What in the world...

ugmug, (edited )

I noticed that some active magazines here on kbin are barren wastelands on the Lemmy side. Might still be some lingering federation issues.

EDIT: I can see all the new threads and discussion from my account on lemmy.one.

here we go! let's start the night with a finish to set the tone!

Ribovics is so hittable, not moving his head at all

Very true

and Kirk loves blocking punches with his face.

toastus,

Glad I didn’t skip the earlies.

toastus,

That takedown might win him the fight.

Edit: or not
