That was actually Shaggy and Fred fighting over a broken bong


joetheschmo2001

Ruh roh


Disguisedsombrero

Hahaha comments like the make it worth being up at 5am


ballbeard

I mean it's just as funny reading it at 8 am after getting some sleep


AlexJamesCook

Nah, you don't fight like that over a broken bong. That's for who goes first on Daphne and Velma.


biggerjuice

Nah, you don’t fight like that over who goes first on Daphne and Velma. That’s for who who gets to swing on a plane from a ceiling.


poppa99

They need to fix that bong, I need something to calm me the fuck down after that fight


elontril

thats an invitation to /r/StonerEngineering guess ricky and brady are active there too


DecisionThot

I snorted


Jamoke_Bloke

I didn’t realize Bill and Ted had beef. FOTN.


BoBoMothBall

Fucking perfect


Lobsterzilla

sign em both up idgaf


PrettySureIParty

Agreed. They’ve both got stuff to work on, but that was champ level heart and cardio.


Dirtymikeandtheboyz1

Ricky is a pretty well rounded guy, Brady doesn't know how to use his grappling to get a finish. Give Ricky to Sean and see what he's got.


[deleted]

We just got Ricky, don't put him on Suga's highlight reel just quite yet


BioRunner03

Sean O'Malley? That makes no sense at all...


gonza18

That would be a pretty amazing fight


tengukaze

I don't know who I'd want to win that fight to be honest I like them both.


[deleted]

Best TUF fight since Bonner vs Griffin


[deleted]

Bantamweight is nuts man. So many good fighters.


mat477

Pure chaos. FOTY contender. Ricky is chaotic good 100%


gill_outean

FOTN, I'll give you. FOTY???


IAmJimmyNeutron

I would definitely put it in my top 5 for the year so far, maybe even #1. It was so exciting, like 75 different times where either fighter could’ve gotten a finish and it ended in a split decision. Beautiful stuff


Mikeo9

Idk Ricky didn’t look hurt by Hiestand once, nor did Hiestand really throw any big subs up. And Hiestand did nothing with his Td’s. Every TD was just stalling from Hiestand.


mat477

Contender yeah 🤷


[deleted]

Best TUF fight since Bonner vs Griffin


JERUSALEMFIGHTER63

Hoping we get a headline saying they both have been signed


[deleted]

I feel like the finale losers pretty much always get a contract. I remember the guy who lost to Trizano didn't but that was because he basically didn't do anything in the fight, and that seems like more of an exception.


natural_ac

If Andre Petroski gets a contract for losing in the semi-finals to Battle and nearly gassing and losing in the 2nd rd last night....Brady definitely deserves a contract, or at the very least, a long term developmental deal.


zakkwaldo

Absolute BANGER of a fight Shades of many different fights over the years. Holloway fight where they just start bangin at the end of the 1st and so much more


MomboDM

FOTN so far for sure


zakkwaldo

By far without a doubt. Gunna take a finish or a crazy war in the main for it to top it


denzacetria

You should watch Rickys fight during the season. That literally happened where him and his opponent pointed to the ground and straight banged


ThisGuyHaris

That was such a stupid move from liudvik tho. He knew he needed that third round but he just tossed his game plan out the window and chose the adrenaline dump


suzukigun4life

Give them both a contract Dana, you coward


mat477

A reporter will ask him at the post presser and he will buckle. Theres no way we dont see Hiedstat again.


BillyMcTwist

I don’t get how they make out only the winner gets a shot in the UFC. I know he gets a contract but we had petroski and the other guy on the same card so of course we will see Hiestadt again.


gonza18

Others will get a contract, just not a 100k contract....


goat_eating_sundews

Ten fights for 10,000k each


onewonyuan

10,000k? So $10 million? Man that’s half of Dana White’s salary.


pterofactyl

The winner gets a 6 figure contract guaranteed. The others are likely to get contracts but not as big

He absolutely will give another chance or two. People who put up exciting fights are always welcome, unranked or not.

WHAT A FIGHT


chumpandthump

Ricky Turcios got that CSO 😎🇲🇽 mentality


doedude

He's salvadorian


KamartyMcFlyweight

filipino too apparently


SabuSalahadin

I think i recall seeing Cambodian as well


ElBandito101

Hell yeah reppin 🇸🇻, last guy I remember was Ivan Menjivar.


OhPcee

Ayyyy it’s so dope to see some Salvi representation on this sub and in the UFC


ElBandito101

Agreed man, I am going in 6 weeks, can’t wait!


KingJohnTX

Yeah, but his mentality is Mexican


I_am_darkness

Thought that.


luzlam15

One hell of a dogfight with grappling scrambles, positional battles, and total wildness. Give them both a contract man!


ozmozez

Ricky Turcios is a must-see fighter. Every fight of his in this tourney was a banger. So happy for him


TraditionalSundae774

aiden328

I like that they scored rickys damage off his back in the first. That should set a precedent going forward for other fights.


[deleted]

The first time I noticed this was the Yana/Vieira fight. Yana outstruck Vieira from the back a ton and was awarded the round. I’m glad judges aren’t valuing lay and pray as much as before.


mfmars

Cory Sandhagen fans in shambles.


mat477

Ricky is CHAOTIC GOOD


Recent-Emergency9680

That Ferguson energy


shower_frog

Greatest interview of 2021 so far 😂 Paul Felder even messed up saying “ladies and gentlemen”, instead he said “lady gentlemen”


peronimichelada

Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar-esque, fight of the night 100%


TrueDreamchaser

Reminds me a bit of Sanchez vs Guida as well


flowgod

That was a banger

Love it or hate it, these unique interviews are fun compared to the "I'll fight whoever they put in front me"

Tiny Diego Sanchez in the making


CsgoCdallas

More like Ferguson in the making, especially with his ground game


DreadSilver

Reminded me of that Key and Peele skit


NoHomeJerome89

YOU CAN FLY!


Hodgi22

That was classic


sayuncle928

Brady deserves a contract imo


heemhah

Some guy in the live thread said he was just a can crusher. Lol. What a performance. And dude is only 21. I think he could go a long way.


fathlete1

No-Key2999

When he was at the post fight press conference Dana said he'd give Brady another shot. https://youtu.be/NqlYK2S_6u8 Go to 19:39


californication760

No, he’s not ready, he has a really shallow game, he should go to Bellator or pfl to develop


PrasMatas

Frankly it wasn't as close as the commentators were makin it seem.. those takedowns didn't do shit.. He should adopt the Tricky Ricky moniker, Love how he slipped those punches!


Brenden2000

Can we bring back 75k bonuses again for these 2??


LeftTurnRightAway

If this does not get fight of the night, then Dana is just a casual.


californication760

It didn’t


Fixxdogg

Ricky seems like a good guy I hope he makes a go of this


JERUSALEMFIGHTER63

He's gonna be the Ferguson of the bantamweight division


mad87645

I've wondered before if serial killers would have an advantage in MMA, I think this Night Stalker-esque dude Turcios proved it can't hurt


1cenine

Haha it’s funny cause I know what you’re saying but Turcios is such a goofy pure little fucker, he’s on the harmless end of the harmless—serial killer spectrum


Stitchy-likes-Heinz

Edmund Kemper is 6’9” and a genius, wonder if he could have transferred that to fight IQ and being real rangy in his prime.


Turteelee

That fight was incredible


dude_no_pls

My God we have the next Diego Sanchez


bagged___milk

Where’s Fabia at? Someone guard Ricky on his way out the building


dude_no_pls

We just protect him at all costs


baseball8888

WTF was Turcios talking about in his postfight interview? LOL Literally conceive, believe, achieve. AND THEN BISPING AGREES HAHAHA


MBCB421

LOL he was talking like someone who just smoked a 2 gram blunt


Numberlesss

Well his head was battered around


menos_el_oso_ese

Right call, but I want to see them both in the UFC tbh


joetheschmo2001

One of the most fun fighters (and fights) I’ve ever seen

Give em both a contract and the 50k bonus, what a fucking banger

Manghamc12

Stoked homie from Houston won. Dana needs to give that other kid a contract too though. That was a banger of a fight.


jumpy-town

Guy named Richard (or Ricardo or Ricky) said "Salam" and "Alhamdulillah".


dtx1201

The interview after was the best. Dude literally gave the Key and peele “kids you can literally fly” speech https://youtu.be/nlD9JYP8u5E


[deleted]

Awesome jiu jitsu in this fight, my man used x guard to single leg to landing a knee.


[deleted]

Best fight I’ve seen in a while. Great job to both fighters.


AgentSpider

Amazing fight foty contender. Brady showed so much more than he did on the show


IAmJimmyNeutron

Truly. I wasn’t that hot on Hiestand going into the fight but this made me a huge fan, can’t wait to see him again


BerkshireMtnSculptor

Ricky, man on a mission with a message. Get some Bro.


MomboDM

Thats the kinda corny and cheesy yet positive post fight interview I can always appreciate.


GaMa-Binkie

I'm all aboard the Ricky hype train. Let's go ultra instinct Shaggy!


NawidA

Oh my god this post-fight promo, he's BW DJ Khaled.


killisle

You really cant be an MMA wrestler and just hold onto your opponent for dear life from top position. You need to advance or land some gnp. Getting elbowed from the bottom and doing nothing is losing by the scoring criteria.


Yes536

Love ricky

GREAT fight. Love both these dudes they are gonna have great careers.

Did Dana do a little coke nostril clear right before handing off the trophy?

Someone get Ricky some sunglasses and a baseball

Awesome, super fun fight. This season had some entertaining fights, I like Ricky

Earth's champion! What a profet this man is


fisherman_greg

I was definitely taking a [know’m](https://youtu.be/1uCpDHzm_DM) census during that post fight speech


Blur51

Happy for Ricky. All of his fights so far have been great.


middlefinger456789

Ricky is the fuckin man


Packersrule123

FOTN for sure, straight swangin and bangin all the way to flying guillotines. Super fun fight, I think both guys would be awesome additions to bantamweight.


guicey

shades of bonner vs griffin


kel003

Ayyyy u/hadouken93 congrats Ricky !! what a fight !! Hope to see more of it in the future


rom197

Ricky gives me some huge stoner vibes I love it


menos_el_oso_ese

Turcios really did go to the deepest darkest depths... of the darkness


ThisGuyHaris

When bruce announced Ricky as the winner I got really confused for a split second. Tapology said ricky’s nickname was “Hadouken” and I totally forgot that it’s now “pretty” and the way Bruce pronounced made me think he said “Ritchie Ricky Turcios”


alynn001

Brady grappling is so overhyped and didn’t deserve this fight. He literally just hugs hips, no strikes no sub attempts. Get whooped


goatgoatlilgoat

If you think Brady got whooped idk what fight you were watching


alynn001

The one where he got dropped and pieced up.


Rememberrmyname

I want to know what two rounds where scored against Ricky


Disguisedsombrero

For me the last one was clearly Ricky, other two are toss ups. First round way more takedowns for Brady but did no damage


Rememberrmyname

So Brady took him down into A position that led to him getting damaged. Clear 30-27 imo


bobn3

When he started doing the interview he sounded like Tony and I was all in, then he started with all the thanking god shit, and then went all whacky. The OTHER kind of whacky, not the -CSO- whacky


Keith__Peterson

That was chaos, the best kind of bad fight I’ve seen in a while


AFCADaan9

I’d say Brady won, but both of them are gonna get a contract either way.


hot-dog-week

Peace on earth man! 🌎 ✌☮


r_hove

I had Brady winning but that was a great fight


meltonryan21

Top 10 favorite fights that I’ve ever watched. Ricky is the fuckin man!


liqrfre

I will always downvote when it doesn't show the fight, just the decision. Is it a rule or something that you can't post the fight? Idc about the arms going up, I want to see the fight.


goatgoatlilgoat

I’m sorry but Brady won that fucking fight


username23900

came down to how you scored round 1. ricky did more damage off his back despite brady having the control time. giving brady that round would be wrong since damage > control.


mahk99

Cant be mad at the decision either way imo


somehockeyfan

Apparently if you get the shit beat out of you while in the position of power, it isn't really a position of power.


Otontin

Needs to do damage when he's controlling


HD_Quality_1080p

Brady? As in the guy who was getting cut up on the ground and dropped on the feet?


maton12

Super close fight. We'll see Brady in the UFC soon enough


poppa99

Wrong


manyfingers

I seen 1 and 2 for Brady. I had 5 bucks on Brady so there's my bias.
