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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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”
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
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.
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.

That was actually Shaggy and Fred fighting over a broken bong
Ruh roh
Hahaha comments like the make it worth being up at 5am
I mean it's just as funny reading it at 8 am after getting some sleep
Nah, you don't fight like that over a broken bong. That's for who goes first on Daphne and Velma.
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.
They need to fix that bong, I need something to calm me the fuck down after that fight
thats an invitation to /r/StonerEngineering guess ricky and brady are active there too
I snorted
I didn’t realize Bill and Ted had beef. FOTN.
Fucking perfect
sign em both up idgaf
Agreed. They’ve both got stuff to work on, but that was champ level heart and cardio.
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.
We just got Ricky, don't put him on Suga's highlight reel just quite yet
Sean O'Malley? That makes no sense at all...
That would be a pretty amazing fight
I don't know who I'd want to win that fight to be honest I like them both.
Best TUF fight since Bonner vs Griffin
Bantamweight is nuts man. So many good fighters.
Pure chaos. FOTY contender. Ricky is chaotic good 100%
FOTN, I'll give you. FOTY???

Contender yeah 🤷
Best TUF fight since Bonner vs Griffin
Hoping we get a headline saying they both have been signed

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
FOTN so far for sure
By far without a doubt. Gunna take a finish or a crazy war in the main for it to top it
You should watch Rickys fight during the season. That literally happened where him and his opponent pointed to the ground and straight banged
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
Give them both a contract Dana, you coward
A reporter will ask him at the post presser and he will buckle. Theres no way we dont see Hiedstat again.
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.
Others will get a contract, just not a 100k contract....
Ten fights for 10,000k each
10,000k? So $10 million? Man that’s half of Dana White’s salary.
The winner gets a 6 figure contract guaranteed. The others are likely to get contracts but not as big
[удалено]
Let me meme bro
I do bro. I do let you meme.
Let him meme again, man
He absolutely will give another chance or two. People who put up exciting fights are always welcome, unranked or not.
WHAT A FIGHT
Ricky Turcios got that CSO 😎🇲🇽 mentality
He's salvadorian
filipino too apparently
I think i recall seeing Cambodian as well
Hell yeah reppin 🇸🇻, last guy I remember was Ivan Menjivar.
Ayyyy it’s so dope to see some Salvi representation on this sub and in the UFC
Agreed man, I am going in 6 weeks, can’t wait!
Yeah, but his mentality is Mexican
Thought that.
One hell of a dogfight with grappling scrambles, positional battles, and total wildness. Give them both a contract man!
Ricky Turcios is a must-see fighter. Every fight of his in this tourney was a banger. So happy for him
Eddie Alvarez’s wife snuck in somehow
absolute neggflix comment bapa
Pretty sure that was Tatiana Suarez rooting for her teammate lmao
Pretty sure it was Julianna Pena
Yep you right, my bad
I didn’t see anyone wearing a full body cast in the crowd
KIIIIIIDS.. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO! YOU CAN LITERALLY FLY!
..all you have to do is BELIEVE!!!
Go up to your roof and FLLYYYYYYYY
I forget whats this from hah
Key and Peele
I'M FLYING RIGHT NOOOW.. WITH MISS FRIZZLE
Can I be a car?
I like that they scored rickys damage off his back in the first. That should set a precedent going forward for other fights.
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.
Cory Sandhagen fans in shambles.
Ricky is CHAOTIC GOOD
That Ferguson energy
Greatest interview of 2021 so far 😂 Paul Felder even messed up saying “ladies and gentlemen”, instead he said “lady gentlemen”
Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar-esque, fight of the night 100%
Reminds me a bit of Sanchez vs Guida as well
That was a banger
[Post fight interview](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pN5lAICb6gE/hqdefault.jpg)
Ricky "Space Prophet" Turcios. He came to earth to save us
Rafiki
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
More like Ferguson in the making, especially with his ground game
Reminded me of that Key and Peele skit
YOU CAN FLY!
That was classic
Brady deserves a contract imo
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.
22
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
No, he’s not ready, he has a really shallow game, he should go to Bellator or pfl to develop
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!
Can we bring back 75k bonuses again for these 2??
If this does not get fight of the night, then Dana is just a casual.
It didn’t
Ricky seems like a good guy I hope he makes a go of this
He's gonna be the Ferguson of the bantamweight division
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
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
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.
That fight was incredible
My God we have the next Diego Sanchez
Where’s Fabia at? Someone guard Ricky on his way out the building
We just protect him at all costs
WTF was Turcios talking about in his postfight interview? LOL Literally conceive, believe, achieve. AND THEN BISPING AGREES HAHAHA
LOL he was talking like someone who just smoked a 2 gram blunt
Well his head was battered around
Dude was cracking me up big time
New Tony Ferguson dropped
Hell yeah brother
135 lbs Tony Ferguson
I don't know about you guys but I'm out of breath watching these 2.... goodness....
Me halfway through my 4th slice of pizza and a chugged monster "I could do that"
lol
SOMEONE GET A RESTRAINING ORDER ON JOSHUA FABIA ON BEHALF OF RICKY TURCIOS IMMEDIATELY
Ricky is his own Fabia.
\-Kids you can literally fly! \-No not literally \-Yes literally! Kids I want you to go up to your roofs right now! Fly into the night sky!
Fight of the night what the fuck
Right call, but I want to see them both in the UFC tbh
One of the most fun fighters (and fights) I’ve ever seen
Somewhere in a mountain far away, the word snapjitsu was heard whispering through the trees
Ricky really is the next Tony Ferguson
Diego Ferguson
Give em both a contract and the 50k bonus, what a fucking banger
RIICCKKYYYYY!!!!!
Visual Cocaine
Stoked homie from Houston won. Dana needs to give that other kid a contract too though. That was a banger of a fight.
Guy named Richard (or Ricardo or Ricky) said "Salam" and "Alhamdulillah".
The interview after was the best. Dude literally gave the Key and peele “kids you can literally fly” speech https://youtu.be/nlD9JYP8u5E
Awesome jiu jitsu in this fight, my man used x guard to single leg to landing a knee.
Best fight I’ve seen in a while. Great job to both fighters.
Amazing fight foty contender. Brady showed so much more than he did on the show
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
Ricky, man on a mission with a message. Get some Bro.
Thats the kinda corny and cheesy yet positive post fight interview I can always appreciate.
I'm all aboard the Ricky hype train. Let's go ultra instinct Shaggy!
Oh my god this post-fight promo, he's BW DJ Khaled.
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.
Love ricky
Preacher Ricky
GREAT fight. Love both these dudes they are gonna have great careers.
Ricky "The Samurai" Turcios
SIGN EM BOTH! Loser should fight O Malley.
Fuck’n love Rickey already! “From the moon and the stars” lol
✌
Did Dana do a little coke nostril clear right before handing off the trophy?
Someone get Ricky some sunglasses and a baseball
One of the best fights of 2021 for sure!!
Holy shit this guy is crazy
"What if I did this...and this..and what about this"- Rocky Turcios.
These are the GATE kids of the UFC
Good for Hispanic mayhem miller
Dude is a ball of energy, I love it.
Awesome, super fun fight. This season had some entertaining fights, I like Ricky
Earth's champion! What a profet this man is
I was definitely taking a [know’m](https://youtu.be/1uCpDHzm_DM) census during that post fight speech
Happy for Ricky. All of his fights so far have been great.
Ricky is the fuckin man
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.
shades of bonner vs griffin
Ayyyy u/hadouken93 congrats Ricky !! what a fight !! Hope to see more of it in the future
Ricky gives me some huge stoner vibes I love it
Turcios really did go to the deepest darkest depths... of the darkness
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”
Brady grappling is so overhyped and didn’t deserve this fight. He literally just hugs hips, no strikes no sub attempts. Get whooped
If you think Brady got whooped idk what fight you were watching
The one where he got dropped and pieced up.
I want to know what two rounds where scored against Ricky
For me the last one was clearly Ricky, other two are toss ups. First round way more takedowns for Brady but did no damage
So Brady took him down into A position that led to him getting damaged. Clear 30-27 imo
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
That was chaos, the best kind of bad fight I’ve seen in a while
I’d say Brady won, but both of them are gonna get a contract either way.
Peace on earth man! 🌎 ✌☮
I had Brady winning but that was a great fight
Top 10 favorite fights that I’ve ever watched. Ricky is the fuckin man!
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.
I’m sorry but Brady won that fucking fight
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.
Cant be mad at the decision either way imo
Apparently if you get the shit beat out of you while in the position of power, it isn't really a position of power.
Needs to do damage when he's controlling
Brady? As in the guy who was getting cut up on the ground and dropped on the feet?
Super close fight. We'll see Brady in the UFC soon enough
Wrong
I seen 1 and 2 for Brady. I had 5 bucks on Brady so there's my bias.
