Chin Check - 167 (Recap)
We'd lost some big names, so 'UFC 260' was just ten fights, BUT, it held it down on Saturday night! Four decisions, two submissions, and four KO's, people.
Marc-André Barriault got things popping with a dominant third round finish with FOUR seconds left in the fight!
After being stopped with it in his last fight, Alonzo Menifield brought the Prelims home with a quick 'Von Flue Choke'.
The Main card opened up with fireworks, as Jamie Mullarkey took care of business like someone was after him. In and out in under a minute.
Now, there were questions for Sean O'Malley going into his fight....which he answered with aplomb The utilisation of range was superb, and even after a misstep meant he didn't get a first round finish, we didn't see O'Malley rush or get sloppy. and he finished with a stylish third round exclamation point!
In the Co-main, we finally got to see the old Tyron Woodley. He came out with a renewed fire that was great to see. BUT, Vicente Luque is no joke. You can't just hurt a coyote, cause that's when it's super dangerous. So even with Luque being hurt, he was able to turn it around and get the 'D'arce Choke' finish.
AND, people, the 'Biggest, Baddest, Rematch' was the straight up truth. Francis Ngannou showed a growth and evolution that we'd heard was there, but hadn't seen in the Octagon. Once he stuffed the first takedown attempt, you knew something special was going to happen. Stipe Miocic went out like a champion, but right now, we could be entering a new era....AndNew
So, how do you top that, well Heather Standing teased it last Friday and damn did Chael's 'Submission Underground' deliver the goods Sunday night!!!
'SUG 21' #SUG21 opened with 'don't blink' moment from Aaron Tiegs. Cause Andrew Sidelinger was doing everything right until the game got switched and Tiegs pulled off a slick 'Arm Triangle'.
The Prelims ended in style with Kyle Chambers vs Chase Davis. And Chambers really did his thing, enough so, to warrant Dana telling Chael to dish out some cheques.
The Tag Team match had a team member sub a team member!
Andy Varela locked up his biggest challenge with a great win.
And in the Co-main Amanda Loewen again stands tall, dominant, and still the 'Women's Absolute Champion'.
And Mason Fowler did it again, retains the belt, and mangles more dreams.
So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 167) @ChinCheckPod
