Chin Check - 122 (Recap)
Although I got my dates mixed up and there was no @submissionunderground, the weekend was still packed with action.
iKON held their fourth and last event of the year. It was headlined by Bella Mir, who looked extremely good on the ground. She controlled Alma Cespedes and put her to sleep with a rear naked choke.
Saturday then brings us the UFC's last PPV of the year with 'UFC 256', ten fights, six finishes! We have statement performances, sensational KO's, a comeback submission and possible fight of the year!!!
Things started off in crazy style with Chase Hooper's gutsy, comeback win, with a nice heel hook
Tecia Torres showed possibly the best ever form
And Cub Swanson after being out a year, comes back in cinterlating fashion, with a right cross to show he's still a boss in the octagon
Now the main card, well, this was changed up the game a LOT!
Ciryl Gane was so damn smooth, then so damn deadly, closing the show with vicious elbows
With the reverse of fights, people thought Kevin Holland was going to be up against it. BUT, when it went to the ground, his dynamic movement and strikes got him back up the first and the second time, set up one of the illest KO's we've seen this year
Mackenzie Dern & Virna Jandiroba are both high level black belts, so this was a straight savage war. And Dern isn't backing down from anyone, especially now her hands are more deadly and precise
The Co-main event showed us the evolution of Charles Oliveira and established him as a clear and present danger in the Lightweight division!
Which then took us to the main event, Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno, both thought twenty one days ago, so how was this going to be.......It was potentially the fight of the goddamn year. I think it was only the third ever title draw and now everyone wants to know, when's the damn sequel
There's also some NFL recap and today's (ep 122) @ChinCheckPod breaks it all down, so let's get with it!
- NFL: Week 14: Sunday Games
- iKON 4: Mir vs Cespedes
- UFC 256: Figueiredo vs Moreno
