    I was rooting for Charles, but going into the fight had a real nagging feeling that Beneil was going to put on a clinic.

    Was great to see Charles show once again that he’s one of the absolute best, and the most exciting fighter in the UFC.

    Still sad to see Beneil come up short, and miss out on a title shot that he had already earned :/

      I know mma math is interim boolsheet, but if Beneil couldn’t get it done against Olives, he probably wouldn’t have beaten Islam. Felt like Charles’s grappling was adequate and if Islam is better in that department, Islam would’ve easily handled Beneil’s pressure.

      I was rooting for Beneil to win and get his title shot too - was surprised to see him as the favorite.

    UFC 290 is looking like a strong card, but I’m really looking forward to the Poirier - Gaethje rematch at 291.

    Well, I lasted about a week before I came lurking for other places where degenerate r/mma folks might of switched over to. Good to see some stuff being posted.

    It makes me so happy to the idea that two warm weather cities made the Stanley Cup.

    Does that irritate you Canadians that Las Vegas and Florida have hijacked your sport?

      Eh, 24 LVK players are Canadian. Most in all of the NHL. The majority of Florida’s players are also Canadian. We know where we stand.

    Checking in, they need to get rid of the cloudflare check at kbin or at least increase the frequency of it, people won’t have the patience for this. Onboarding / signup could be better, but kbin not as bad as other instances I guess.

      Right now, it’s temporary in order to keep the site from crashing under the weight. Prototype for this is really only been around for 1-2 months so they’re scaling capacity up.
