The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Our friend Tartara about to add a 1 to that column 

Sir that doesn’t explain why, I would like to hear your thought process sir. I’m surprised how close the line is here, I won’t lie, but at the same time I’m not surprised. Kai has really improved as a whole and has really levelled up, over the recent years. I believe Training with Craig Jones will help KKF with the grappling situations in this fight, but this is my early thoughts and still have to watch tape, so this could change. This sounds crazy but I think KKF has something a lot of fighters don’t and it’s his heart, and willingness to game, that’s something you cannot teach. Sir, I would like to hear your thoughts on the bout, sir. 

Respectfully have to say, Amir’s lead leg is going to get eating alive. Sir.

Why am i looking at pictures of pigs again in the event thread?

@TARTARA , @Xconchris , @baremaras , @Rah123 , @PiggyBank and everyone else... we're not going to try and carefully analyze who started it vs who is just responding/retaliating. Just going to start handing out suspensions if this conversation goes towards stupid arguments again.

why are you tagging me? lol

check my last 3 posts in this thread, i'm literally talking about MMA and specifically about da'mon vs lacerda.. I can't even talk about MMA now or what?

@TARTARA your AV is not a personal photo of you. 

I will consider in the future if we will make a rule about "taunting" avatars, but as of right now there is no such rule. 

@baremaras sure-fire way to avoid getting suspended for being involved in Tartara nonsense is to ignore and/or simply use report button if you think he or another user is breaking the peace.

i've reported him many times and in some weird way he's never getting suspended even though he NEVER talks about MMA, he has multiple alt accounts, he spams a lot of threads and he always accuses/insults other members

it's why I made an actual post to tell him to stop, because the report button almost never works on him

@baremaras he has been suspended before and he is entering the danger zone once again. 

Move on and talk about the KKF vs Albazi event instead of this nonsense, or I'll start suspending you.

Anyone remember why Castañeda vs Santos at fight night 211 was made at a 140 lbs catchweight? The fight was scheduled 2 months in advance. 

Edit: So from what I've been able to find out the UFC announced 5 days before the bout that it would be held at 140 lbs but didn't cite a reason. My personal guess is that Castañeda wasn't going to make the weight, possibly injury related, as he's missed before outside of the UFC.
If anyone knows more about it let us know, thanks.

Castaneda was fighting with bronchitis which i'm assuming must have been one of the reasons he requested the catchweight. it's insane that he even made 140 pounds and it's also insane how well he was doing early in the fight with something as damaging as bronchitis

As Bananas is saying, Castenada was sick and still almost finished Santos. He is a lock on this card. Just like Guram
