OT: UFC 249 Ferguson vs Gaethje

Live sports is BAK!

UFC 249 prelims are live on ESPN2 and ESPN app. The main event is on PPV via ESPN+.

The card is so loaded that Cerrone/Pettis is on the undercard. First two fights of the undercard (Alvey/Spann, and now Mitchell/Rosa) have been so fun to watch.

Pettis is such a boring guy to watch until he does something that makes your jaw drop. Still pulling for Cerrone here.

Good lord ngannou is a beast

He's a scary man

he's an absolute animal, but you gotta wonder if he's improved enough to beat Stipe or DC

Ferguson's chin must be made of adamantium. Good on Herb Dean for stopping that because Ferguson was probably gonna get himself killed before he'd stop.

Seriously, can't believe he ate so many punches like that. Gaethje has seriously impressed me with how he's grown as a fighter since he lost to Poirier

Tony has a chin made of Valyrian steel, lots of people on reddit thought the Cruz/Cejudo fight was an early stoppage, but I disagree Cruz took like 13 unanswered shots after getting dropped badly. Also wondering if Cejudo's truly retired?

Cruz took a lot of consecutive punches so you understand why the ref went to stop it, but at the same time the dude is recovering and standing up, so how can it be a tko? I thought ref could have waited another second or two

The fact that he wasn't covering up his face with his left arm and it was dragging behind while his face was planted on the mat is enough for me. Gotta do something with that left arm to look like you're intelligently defending

Hard to say anything that someone else hasn't said yet, but Tony Ferguson is one tough sob.

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

I really enjoyed the fights, haven't seen live sports in a while.
