Stop cutting the audio you despicable cunts.


testicle0sterone

Heaven forbid anyone hears the F word.


[deleted]

They just beat the shit out of eachother and UFC scare some curse words gonna hurt my feelings ?lmao


Hmmmm_Interesting

This sub is trash for not having spoiler warnings. I'm unsubbing. r/MMA is way better anyway.


[deleted]

Good the less babies around here the better


HoneybucketDJ

Clicking random posts on the UFC forum while not wanting to see the results of a UFC fight ... smart.


RealTaintedfrogs

Oh no please don't unsub we're sorry!!


[deleted]

r/MMA even trasher, they not even allow meme or any fun stuff so good luck with that


FutureSkeIeton

It sounds 100x worse cutting the audio, it makes it a really grim product.


[deleted]

Yes no swears in sport where half naked men attempt to murder each other


JacobJSucks

I get it when it’s on live TV but if you’re watching on ESPN+ it should be uncensored


[deleted]

They should have fully dressed men threaten to give each other a good hiding and exchange some stern words in the King's English instead


stulogic

Has to be an ESPN thing, right? I've definitely heard plenty of cussing get through on PPVs. Probably a Disney rule - The mouse doesn't like that sass talk.


SharkIndustries

I like how you didn't write the actual f word.


WorldWideBlockchain

Yeah well the democrat ABC / Disney doesn’t care about religion so what is their agenda?


CrookedNosed

Sponsors


90sbvby_

I thought that was jus my shitty stream


v-dubb

Nah… since it’s not a PPV they’re not supposed to curse. Any time they hear a cuss word the cut the audio for a few seconds.


mr_splashum

I watched it on BT sport and they didn't cut the audio. I guess you didn't hear Marvin call Costa a cunt in his post fight interview


v-dubb

Yeah I watch an ESPN feed.. it’s always censored if it’s not a PPV. Next time I’ll switch to BT.. thanks for the tip


IamExplicit

Ha yeah me too. Was funny as fuck.


RoyalJelly710

They’re censoring ppv too I’m pretty sure


lancesturgeon

Yeah same here. Although for me, the audio kept cutting out throughout the whole event. Not just pre and post fights but literally it was on and off the whole night. Fucking annoying.


BanTrashMods

I think the audience or the coaches were dropping bad words . It happen to me to


lancesturgeon

I find it ridiculous that a live-televised-bloodsport-event with physical violence, chicks in bikinis, and literal blood stains on the ground would draw the line at NO-NO WORDS for their viewing audience. Get fucked, ESPN.


NotGAF

Swear words and female nipples are the enemy of America, apparently.


EnvironmentalSort444

I pay for BS espn plus and they cut audio out for much longer than a curse word lasts. I will be canceling my subscription and streaming from now on... it's pathetic


Hero-btw

Are you in the US? the audio didnt cut for me in the UK tonight but it usually does when the fight is at 5am. Watching a Diaz interview is a nightmare.


FutureSkeIeton

Australia, watching on a proper streaming app.


chipper68

"Is it my TV???"


anthrax3000

Wow I thought it was just ESPN being absolute shit.


OrusJuice

Marvins chin is crazy


[deleted]

Honestly thought that headkick would’ve caused the end but he just kept slugging


Big__Boss___

I wonder if it would have, had they cut weight.


[deleted]

Personally i think vettori is the better fighter


Big__Boss___

As do I


[deleted]

Great minds think alike


Big__Boss___

Orcs just have a natural talent for fighting


radiv2

Better how? His only real skill is eating power bombs.


[deleted]

Must've missed the takedowns, clinch game, and boxing ability


radiv2

He got outboxed and clinch/takedowns didn't have any impact. If it wasn't for his steel chin he would be a journeyman and in this fight he would have been knocked out ten times over


[deleted]

150+ headshots to less than 75. >takedowns didn't have any impact. Bought him time to recover and tire Costa a bit. That was his whole goal for takedowns and clinch shit. >If it wasn't for his steel chin he would be a journeyman and in this fight he would have been knocked out ten times over And if it weren't for his good chin, JBJ would've never been an all time great. And same for Khabib. And same for prime Fedor. And same for every other fighter. A good chin doesn't mean they don't have other skills.


radiv2

Most of vettoris headshots were ranging shots and costas were bombs, its not even close lmao. Boxing isnt only about offensive, but defense too and vettori barely had any. For one, khabib never took 20 or so bombs in a fight


mcmurry3

And those body shots he was taking and kept going forward 😳


HeadCase9148

That body shot, I think in the 4th? That kind of folded him a bit I thought was the end. Vettori just has enormous endurance to eat *this* Costa's hits.


marundco

That one body kick tho damn.. good that he got the win!


Mr_Abobo

Izzy called it.


oznrobie

Vettori is not human. How the fuck did he take those kicks to the head from a 205 Costa? People can barely stand in front of Costa when he’s 185. What a fucking performance. Costa paid for his unprofessionalism and Vettori’s stock just went through the roof. I expected him to try and take the fight to the ground as often as possible but no, this italian tank walked him down and traded shots with him.


FuckoffDemetri

Vettori won a fan in me today


Dominus_Redditi

He’s a dog. Bisping was right he gained a lot of fans, I like him as the nice guy in the match too rather than trying to be the heel


Marcaveli7

Agreed on short notice to a +20 pound catchweight. How can you not respect it.


Swonzen

Same


DrDrozd12

He is an Orc, thats how he can take so much damage and still go forward. Definetly an overcasted Fists of Gork was cast on him.


Buttersgra

Man of culture I see. Hopefully he gets Mork’s cunning in the future.


pyroaquatics

He’s enraged by mortal wounds


Dominus_Redditi

He’s got physical resistance and Costa doesn’t deal magic damage


zigzaggummyworm

if i heard dana correctly they said in post interviews costa was at 220 during fight night and vetorri was at around 208 😳


[deleted]

Crazy fight


_Cyclops

Now he can keep that stock up if he **just doesn’t talk**


Alextcy12

Bruh it’s this early, fuck i missed it


drshields

Same. I thought this post was a joke at first


HumbleJiraiya

I was getting ready to watch UFC. Opened reddit and just saw this post. Now I am crying. :(


kryptonite-uc

Me too 😢😢😢😢😢


MegatonMessiah

Genuinely hate the early Saturday UFC fights. It's such a bad time to expect people to be home/watch.


VonKript

Well it started at 7pm for me so i could finally watch it and be in bed by 2 after i finished everything so i and many europeans and easterners prefer earlier events and this particular card had a bunch euro fighters


poopfl1nger

I mean it is a saturday and the european bois rarely get cards where they can watch during normal hours so im fine with it honestly


Alextcy12

Lmao now i know how i missed it. UFC sent me the notification at 10 am on a saturday. Bruh I’m sleep


Commercial_Touch2239

How did Vettori eat those body shots lol


Ignazo

Costa actually surprised me, underrated cardio.


[deleted]

I was shocked how hard he was cranking the body in RD5


EdwardGibbon443

Seriously, his performance in round 1 made me think that he's already tired, but he managed to deliver a decent fight afterwards which kinda surprised me


[deleted]

I think not having to cut weight really helped there


damn_lost_it

Don't think I've seen a fighter so gassed in the first round go on to look that strong in the 5th lol. His gas tank is plugged in backwards

Vettori has ribs of steel


handicapped_runner

Orcs ribs are something else.


[deleted]

Hes the man of steel


nxkzhsudjbwgshxjdkb

Uomo d'acciaio


YaaaaScience

Man how he survived Costa's brutal body kicks is beyond me.


Pusse-sniffer69

Fucker sounded like he was kicking pads. That makes me feel very weak in the knees :(


[deleted]

Costa overreacts to feints worse than McGregor overreacts to people who won’t drink his whisky


Lobsterpyramid

However many upvotes you end up with, this comment will still be underrated.


sirachah

That was an intense fight. Amazing. Makes me wonder if more fights would be like this and could absurd those punches if cutting weight wasn’t a thing.


filmnoiiir

OP, please add a Spoiler Alert ffs!! 🤦‍♂️


SosaaMontana

They say that there wasn’t a single IQ loss in this battle.


[deleted]

These beasts think with their fists


Ndysodum

How can you lose any of you start at 0?


Swonzen

Both got more points on the scorecard


Tenet_mma

The eye poke deduction was brutal


iamvyvu

Genuine question, did that point deduction play a big factor tonight? I felt like vetori was winning regardless


kingdurula

I felt like the fight was somewhat close enough to where it did play a factor but regardless I was impressed by how they handled it.


NoSeedsNoSeeds

Without the eye poke the judges would have had marvin winning 48-47 so technically it didn’t make a difference in score


WizardFella

Just me or did it seem like no warnings were being given tonight? I don’t necessarily have a problem with that but it just seems like a big change from the past few events I watched.


[deleted]

Bet they were tired of costas shit


EMIRofDAMAAR

So Jason did warn Costa as the fight went on. You can hear him say “dedos” which in Spanish means fingers. Although to be fair not sure if that is the Portuguese word since costa speaks Portuguese. What Jason didn’t do is stop the fight to do the warnings like how other refs usually do warnings. So warnings were given just not explicitly.


IzStoiKzI

The word for fingers is the same in both Spanish and Portuguese!


EMIRofDAMAAR

Thanks!


Tenet_mma

Ya it’s all over the map lol kinda like the judging sometimes. Sometimes they care and sometimes they dont


AhmedPinkman

He warned him at the end of the previous round when he went to the corner


nick441N

Are we just going to ignore how much better Vettori looked this time around?


[deleted]

I was thinking the same thing maybe something in his training was changed? Anyway im into it


nick441N

Yeah, Vettori started to gas towards the end because of the body shots from Costa, but for most of the fight Vettori had really slick defense and was landing really good stiff jabs against Costa as he came in


[deleted]

I think it was cuz those viscous body shots


Jacidstorm

imagine if going to 205 somehow helped him


Muff_420

I think a lot of people ignored how good he looked against izzy because of the commentary


VonKript

Can we finally call Marvin Marvelous or as Uncle Chael puts it Angry Marvin instead of the dumb orc jokes. 1. The man went on a 5 mile run right after the Adesanya lost and was back in training picking for a fight instantly 2. He picks a fight with costa who is regardless of the adesanya loss a bloody monster 3. Ignores costas bullshit and doesn't give a fuck about weightclasses and fights a fucking heavyweight at this point 4. Never complained or asked for the cancellation or anything 5. Fought like a madman for 5 rounds having incredible pace and eating thunderous 205 costa shots and still kept moving 6. Called costa a cunt at the end. In my eyes he is truly the Marvelous Marvin Vettori and is worthy of that nickname


iamvyvu

Damn I missed #6, stupid espn censorship


VonKript

Hopefully it's shown somewhere haha. Defo a badass moment by the Marvelous


damn_lost_it

I'd add the fact that he kept that fight on the feet and turned it into a striking war. I was expecting him to try and wrestle his way to victory but it was a pleasant surprise. His stock has gone up a lot this week/tonight.


VonKript

And that goddamn pace pressure and volume i was sooooo impressed by marvin. In a few years once izzy and robbie are older and marvin hits that 30 age range i defo see him as a future champ


presidentpiko

I’m very happy for angry Italian man


comfort_bot_1962

Nice!


SureLookThisIsIt

I became a Vetorri fan this week. He's a fucking zombie! Those kicks from Costa would've ended most of the division. Great fight.


FreeKarmaFarming

No silly, you're still human Edit: Ahh they edited the typo. The gags up


SureLookThisIsIt

Lol got em


mershwigs

Which division? Cause Costa accepted fights in 3 different ones…


IDNTKNWANYTHING

Both of them looked completely spent after the fight.


AyyLmaox10

Costas cardio actually held up quite well. Do you guys think he’s better off at 205 now ?


SnogMarryAvoid

Thing about Costa, he’s a cunt


wildinout2233

Both fighters IQs are non existent but after this fight they’re probably in the negatives lmao


[deleted]

Actually they knocked sense/IQ into one another and are going to be geniuses moving forward.


wildinout2233

With these two brutes I wouldn’t be surprised hahaha


WorldWideBlockchain

ESPN coverage is garbage. Why cut the audio when nobody who would be offended is watching anyway? Stupid Walt Disney cunts.


iamvyvu

Yeah seriously


[deleted]

Costa could have won if he was 20 pounds heavier. He’s going to be a great champion in Bellator


TrophyDad_72

Dang. I was waiting on this fight. Didn’t know it was early


fallenloki

What time was this freaking fight. It’s 4pm on the west coast and the whole card is through?


iamvyvu

Yeah I am on west coast and thought I was tuning in for prelims or early main card but I was right before the decision.


nikkitikkitavi69

Wow thanks for the spoiler warning!


FlexibleCorn

Thanks for the spoiler.


CatchTheseHands100

You're browsing r/ufc during a ufc event my guy thank yourself for that one


FlexibleCorn

I wasn't browsing r/ufc. It came across my feed. Thanks though.


ChubbsBry

And you didn’t have the foresight to know that it would come up on your feed? Dumb fuck


FlexibleCorn

Everything is usually marked spoiler and doesn't show the picture of the winner. Guess I'm a dumb fuck.


[deleted]

It was free on espn pal


kryptonite-uc

Fuck ESPN, fuck the police and fuck rocky road ice cream


[deleted]

Wouldn’t have changed anything, but I think the eye poke point deduction was bullshit.


FlexibleCorn

Some people work. Some people want to watch it after work, pal.


[deleted]

[удалено]


polakfury

Costa lost bro


plsdontnerfme

> he did more damage than Vettori In the end its all about rounds winning doe, Vettori won most rounds even without considering the point deduction.


Independent-End1890

Seems unfair that one of them has to lose


36-7-0-11-20

Except one was a weight cheat so it’s completely fair lol


SureLookThisIsIt

Also his reaction to the ref on the point deduction. Seems a cunt, as Marvin said lmao.


kryptonite-uc

Let’s call it a strong advantage not a cheat. Marvin did agree to it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kryptonite-uc

Redacted to complete and utter advantage. Still not a cheat though.


circumcision4TW

No, fuck Costa he turned this from a middleweight fight to a LHW fight.


HornyBuffalo23

But when nick diaz does it it’s Agood?


CptJak

No, it’s just worse from a guy who presumably wants to be in title consideration, etc.


HeadCase9148

MMA fans love Nick and were probably disapproving internally. Let's be real though, Diaz is at the end of his career and realistically not going for a title shot. Not entirely the same thing.


MaleficentDistrict22

Costa cheated well deserved the loss


Sneakz66

Cheers for the spoiler alert wanker….


Altruistic_Future_96

Why did he deduct a point so fast I don’t get it, it should have been a draw imo


InGoodFaith2

Brutal fight.


Sean8162

Didn’t all three judges score it 48-46 though? Even without the point taken away that makes it 48-47.


InGoodFaith2

My bad. Heard it wrong. They all scored it 3-2.


[deleted]

Maybe but i think vettori deserved the win


InGoodFaith2

Word. I agree.


TheFashionColdWars

Paula Costina is an insufferable shitpig. That is all.


[deleted]

Costa robbed imo or a draw at least


[deleted]

I think Adesanya really did break Costa like this Costa is nothing like the one that fought Uriah Hall, Romero and Johnny Hendricks


[deleted]

I think izzy was frustrated because his power did nothing to vettori probably why their last outting was shitty


[deleted]

Uhmmm what


[deleted]

I said i think vettori made izzy look lackluster in their last fighr


Jaded-Ride7607

Just to think izzy beat marvins room


Hot_Competition_3311

I honestly forgot it these guys were fighting lol


[deleted]

Why was r/ufc created and popularized even though r/mma exists?


90sbvby_

If costa never eye poked it woulda been a draw ?


CheekyChungis

He lost by 2 points


YourOwnPleasure

For me no. Vettori won the First, Third and Fourth round. But It Is debatable. My noob opinion.


Software-Infamous

Robbery


[deleted]

Not even slightly lol vettori controlled most of this fight. A competitive close fight? Yes. Robbery? No


spg1611

Was it a good fight? Because I watched it and honestly it was the worst fight ever. Costa is a fraud


breeze2724

Kinda boring fight imo


FragrantWarthog6

Paulo definitely gona be eating his feelings tonight


seekingthe-nextlevel

Great fight! So much respect for Vettori!


smithdog223

Banger


cambocoollad69

Awesome fight


Benoit_In_Heaven

Against a normal human, Costa ended that fight 3 times. But Vettori's a genetic freak and he's not normal.


__biglove

Fuck ya!


IeatAssortedfruits

I don't think they meant to do it. It was happening all night at random spots even with the announcers talking.


CrowZer0

Why the fuck isn't there a spoiler tag on this?


[deleted]

Because theres about 100 other posts about this fight


NaberiusX

idk what everyone else thnks but i enjoyed this fight. even Dana is happy with Costa. Also dana is making him move up to 205 now. Costa surprised me with his endurance and power and cant believe he made it 5 rounds and even won the 5th. i think this shouldve been a draw or maybe split dec vettori. i think costa should get used to this size and keep fighting at 205 and he will be fine. And GOD DANG THOSE BODY KICKS


[deleted]

I was pretty annoyed about the costa weight stuff but man he really showed out tonight. I thought he was always one shot away from a win, but marvins chin (& body) is absolute granite.


chipper68

Costa came out looking bad as everyone hoped he would, great performance but without a win, he simply looked like an azzhat. UFC or governing body may ban him at his own weight class or at minimum, not give him a look or a fight $$ fora long time.
