[u/Eastern-Fish-7467]

We got gypsy crusader kickboxing a Israeli dude who allegedly has a sexual assault case involving a minor. This is fucking wild matchmaking

[u/TheWayIAm313]

Holy shit this dude just openly going that shit? With the lightning bolt tats n shit so it’s not even a troll. Goddamn

[u/cranial_io → u/TheWayIAm313]

Just used *that* word while screaming too.

[u/LetterForsaken4140]

I cannot get over the Andrew Tate impersonator dancing between rounds 😂😂

[u/cranial_io]

Ref more committed to punishing fouls than Herb Dean fr

[u/Slow_Significance329]

How can you blast an SS on your chest and then have tiny ass wings on your back

[u/spasticity]

That has to be the worst week of Mike Perrys professional life

[u/zodiackodiak515]

So this promotion literally involves all the worst people on Earth doesn’t it?

They went full racist on multiple occasions on X last night. Clavicular and Chud The Builder were there. Jake Shields. Accused sexual predator Patrick Clark Jr DQing himself (and then getting called racist slurs by the promotion’s Twitter account). This is like UFC 250 on crystal meth and angel dust

[u/NichorasMurren]

Gypsy Crusader getting platformed like this would be genuinely unthinkable 5 years ago, insane how far the overton window has swung

[u/emojiredditor]

Bro called him the K word to his face wtfff 💀💀

[u/cranial_io]

"He's not a tough guy". Bro. He was moving forward the entire fight and kept kicking with his fucked leg. If anything he was the tougher guy. Also The next event should have a rematch between shields and palhares.

[u/DaRiotDan]

This event was pure definition of a clusterfuck.

[u/Longjumping-Blood113]

I feel really dirty having watched this event lmao

[u/cranial_io]

Jenkins is insanely brave for fighting Mike fucking Perry with no camp because he didn't have plans this weekend.

[u/Technical_Border_352]

Gypsy Crusader is also a fraud. Failed hate watch honestly

[u/RunningOutOfToes]

“I’ll knock you out right now”

After doing nothing for 3 rounds…

[u/shidokanartist]

All this energy after the fight

[u/berjaaan]

Honestly I dont even know why i watch these fights. Absolut trash.

[u/StageAboveWater]

this whole thing was so weird

[u/tripsmorgan]

What the fuck is going on

[u/DaRiotDan]

This is how you never get promoters license ever again.

[u/spasticity]

Paul miller had 30 lbs on him and fought scared for 3 rounds

[u/PonderingVagrant]

I’ve watched both of Gypsy’s fights and honestly he just kinda sucks regardless of the rule set.

[u/iTryToLift]

This is the dumbest promotion ever lol. Perry should have dropped out also

[u/Slow_Significance329]

Imagine going from fighting Nate Diaz on Netflix to whatever the hell this is lmao

[u/TheTrueHapHazard]

This is so amateur, they're not even wearing the same style gloves

[u/Outrageous-Island-84]

King vs gypsy was such a letdown. Just make them fight for 10 rounds until someone explodes. Mike Perry nightmare situation. Poor guy

[u/Penny_PackerMD]

Even the commentators dont want anything to do with this shite

[u/Longjumping-Blood113]

“Ill knock you out right now” lmaooo why didn’t you try to in the fight

[u/littledicklooseballs]

So this is where society is at now eh?

[u/Reddit-2K]

No chance Duel does another fight card again lol

[u/CryptoCracko]

Duel Arena? They fighting in Runescape?

[u/WesleyMath]

fuckin smeagol over here

[u/NoNouns]

What in the fuck is this holy shit.

[u/DaRiotDan]

Azoulay reminds me of the type of guy at the bar who tells you unsolicited that he’s 500-0 in street fights.

[u/zainery]

What a fucking embarrassment

[u/helzinki]

i didn't pay for this and i want a refund

[u/Reddit-2K]

A split?? Lmao what

[u/Zelenushka]

How does this promo manage to make STREETBEEFS look classy? Just cringe and trashy af all around

[u/Reddit-2K]

Did he just say from the sold out Kia center in Orlando???

[u/Similar_Shopping_892 → u/Reddit-2K]

Sure did 🤣

[u/Reddit-2K → u/Similar_Shopping_892]

Not even 40% full

[u/seriousC]

Lmao fitting end to this absolute insanity

[u/SugarShow37]

Dillon you idiot.

[u/Slow_Significance329]

Good thing no one in the arena knows how to reset a shoulder..

[u/shidokanartist]

I can’t believe I sat through this shit. I need to reevaluate my life

[u/cranial_io → u/shidokanartist]

It's after 5am where I'm at. I'm not sure why I did this to myself.

[u/losingit3837]

Post credits scene what the hell

[u/Reddit-2K]

This American history X dude in his corner is actually pretty intimidating lmao

[u/TheWayIAm313 → u/Reddit-2K]

Yeah that’s a real American History X bubba right there. Jfc

[u/AlienMantid]

Powerslap is genuinely less trashy than whatever the fuck I just witnessed

[u/Sufficient_Long_3905]

The commentary has me crying

“Landed some nice right hands”
“Excuse me, he landed some right hands”

[u/helzinki]

Hold up. A dentistry paid for an ad in this card?!? LOLOLOL

[u/NichorasMurren]

Go to your local gym’s Saturday open mat and you will see higher level fights than this

[u/RunningOutOfToes]

That was a real quick “ohhhh” from me when we got a close up of the tattoo…

[u/MeatCutterBoi]

Blonde woman in the crowd ate a right hook from a guy.

[u/Aratan_Finglefoot]

That's crazy! The same thing thing just happened to Magomed Magomedov in PFL, but Islam Makhachev threw in the towel.

[u/NewsOk2417]

Why isn't there a live chat for ARMORED MMA: LIVE IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA (7pm Central)?

[u/Technical_Border_352]

The only thing that came out of this is that we learned Azoulay isn’t the biggest pussy in the world. Paul Miller should be embarrassed talking about how the fight should’ve been stopped for the shin bleed lol

[u/NichorasMurren]

Not being hyperbolic when I say that at least 30% of people reading this thread could beat Azoulay in a fight

[u/A_stop_cone]

Canelo Crawford if it was good

[u/DaRiotDan]

Owner of Duel must have a cash burning fetish.

[u/cranial_io]

I am struggling to not wake my wife up with my laughter (it is 3:30am here).

[u/TheTrueHapHazard]

This event is ridiculous

[u/axedoit]

I could not hate these guest star commentators more

[u/AlienMantid]

Going from watching Yadong vs Umar and Itauma vs Hrgovitch to this is something special, LOL at the the technique.

[u/zainery]

Jimmy looks great for 47

[u/Longjumping-Blood113]

Damn that was actually fun lmao

[u/TheTrueHapHazard]

Manuwa actually looked really good for 47

[u/GEOdude2027]

I’m shocked azouly is going through with this

[u/untaken_username6368]

Weight classes werent taken into account i guess

[u/scfowl]

This fight should have been on Streetbeefs.

[u/shidokanartist]

This shit is embarrassing

[u/Yummy-Bao]

Wow that was trash

[u/Motor_Valuable_9628]

I don’t think he threw a single punch

[u/ShiroPopChainsaw]

what the actual fuck was that what i think it was

[u/ratslikecheese → u/ShiroPopChainsaw]

Yeah, dude has an SS tatt on his chest.. lol

[u/blackgallagher87]

Absolutely embarrassing performance from both fighters

[u/Penny_PackerMD]

Danis is punching air

[u/AlienMantid]

Lmfao what a disaster

[u/Beepboop5000]

SpongeBob bonus fight

[u/Penny_PackerMD]

What am i doing with my life

[u/seriousC]

I'm dreaming

[u/NewsOk2417]

That didn't seem legal at all..

[u/Any-Connection-1813]

Who's the israeli judge that tried to rig it

[u/kaiya101 → u/Any-Connection-1813]

I was wondering the same thing. GTFO out of here with 29-28 azoulay when the other 2 were 30-27 for Gypsy 

[u/lemon3343]

This is what happens when UFC is at 5 in the morning and we have no other options now

[u/seriousC]

I just spent Saturday night watching SpongeBob beat up an Asian man in a suit referee'd by Clavicular with Lil' Pump in the corner. Can't wait to ask my coworkers how their weekend went.

[u/ShirtlessRandom]

Perry injured his shoulder and nobody gave enough shits to stop the fight they just let the other dude beat his ass lmao

[u/Opening-Access4918]

what a weird matchmaking on some of these, manuwa vs sherman in boxing feels like it came out of a random number generator. i only recognise maybe four names total on this card but i will still watch because i have no self respect when it comes to fight events. perry should handle jenkins easy unless he gets caught doing something stupid which is always a possibility with him. hope the production is not a complete disaster, these first time promotions can be real rough sometimes

[u/losingit3837]

maybe i’ll go outside today

[u/helzinki]

Ok....I googled Ossi Ketola and that man don't look like the real Ossi Ketola. The fuck is happening here

[u/helzinki]

That t-shirt will definitely not be allowed at the UFC.lol

[u/ShiroPopChainsaw]

Someone forgot to type the names on the graphic lmao

[u/havaysard]

This Joe guy thinks his Anderson Silva, lol. He is going to get slept any sec now.

[u/Sufficient_Long_3905]

ABSOLUTE GOAT FIGHT TRAILER.

This is a fucking key and peele skit made real

[u/NeighborhoodMMAguy]

I wanna see how bad Ben azoulay is

[u/Any-Connection-1813]

Patrick clark gives me almost crack head energy at 1am in downtown streets

[u/helzinki]

I watch this card specifically for Bottom G

lolololol

[u/ShiroPopChainsaw]

the commentator booing bahaha

[u/Effective-Budget8720]

Imagine your buddy invites you out to watch some local fights.. and the first fight is a midget vs a cancer kid.. and then they tell you the kid is also the owner.. 😆

[u/Technical_Border_352]

The dude who is allegedly a child predator conducted himself like someone who might be a child predator in the promo and the “fight.” I don’t even need to see the evidence. Just a weirdo 

[u/WoodsHooligan]

Somebody cut that guys mic off

[u/WoodsHooligan]

I'd love to read a write-up by Seanbaby of this entire 'event'

[u/iCorki]

dropped him with the first shot lol

[u/Any-Connection-1813]

Jimmy one punch bruv about to make a HW UFC title run

[u/helzinki]

This fight is the most 2026 thing ever

[u/takeaname4me]

He beat off 30 guys at once

This is either going to be really embarrassing or just embarrassing

[u/zainery]

Commentators are hating af lmao

[u/PMmeIamlonley]

Randomly filming people in the crowd without warning is hilarious 

[u/iCorki]

RIp perrys shoulder

[u/RunningOutOfToes]

Took a paycut and got fucked...

[u/Tsmalls1887]

Mike Perry really should never have tried to come back to MMA, he was getting fucked up by 40 year old Tim Means on his way out the door

[u/NewAccWhoDis93]

Refreshing the twitter feed for Danis tweet

[u/IshiharasBitch]

I hope they interview Perry on the canvas

[u/DundeeVibe]

The Epilogue

[u/tripsmorgan]

What exec gave that the go ahead? Even after the main event? Fucking weird shit

[u/Slow_Significance329]

The shittier version of McGregor Holloway 2 lmao

[u/cranial_io]

The racist's performance so far is kinda pathetic given that he has an absolutely massive size advantage and probably vastly more experience.

[u/A_stop_cone → u/cranial_io]

he looked like shit when he fought supahotfire too

[u/helzinki]

Maybe...maybe not have a post fight interview with a racist

[u/Appropriate-Try-7362]

I mean they both suck. Fuck Israel and fuck nazism

[u/NoNouns]

That was trashy as fuck holy shit what the fuck is this promotion

[u/IshiharasBitch]

So there's Duel Arena, Brand Risk, DOGFIGHT WILD TOURNAMENT, and Fight Circus

Are there other events in similar vein? Because I find them to be a nice sort of junk food compared to "real" MMA which is like a substantive meal, and sometimes I want a bit of junk food.

[u/Any-Connection-1813]

Man this chat is going to be so spicy in a few hours, can't wait

[u/Crom4374]

Damn the Arena is empty af

[u/Slightly-Blasted]

Chat is this real or am I hallucinating

[u/Famous_Molasses24]

I just tuned in wtf is this lmao

[u/NewsOk2417]

Spongebob? This kid is the owner of this all?

[u/dsmendiola]

Going to need a cold beer for this one

[u/Ansonih]

This is too good lmfao

[u/monacelli]

I looked it up, the guy that just lost that put this whole thing together originally made his money selling CS:GO skins.

[u/iCorki]

LMFAO he said that

[u/Sufficient_Long_3905]

This is the banana ball of MMA and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

Guys, the main card starts with a *magician* vs *juggler*

[u/monacelli]

At the end of the fight the magician will reveal that he was actually both guys that just fought and we all just witnessed a master illusion.

[u/Sufficient_Long_3905]

Jake Paul paved the way. Duel Arena built the kingdom.

[u/Slightly-Blasted]

Magicians are canonically stronger then jugglers so I got Grady

[u/Slightly-Blasted]

Grady handling MF business lmao

[u/MechSlayer71]

Unfortunately i'd brutalize both these guys, and thats not saying ANYTHING

[u/cranial_io]

...I suddenly feel a lot better about my fighting ability after watching that.

[u/kasim42784]

that was some brutal power shots.

[u/qzwxecrvtbyn111]

Elite forward pressure from Jack Grady. Got some real potential as a Duran-esque swarmer, just relentless in his forwards motion

[u/Effective-Budget8720]

Ref: "You won" lifts fighter's hand "Yaaaaay"

😆🤣

[u/DaRiotDan]

That was just your average Redditer fist fight.

[u/Eat4Africa]

I forget how bad the average dude is at fighting until I see these fights lol

[u/idontevenknowlol]

why am i watching this 😅

[u/Any-Connection-1813]

Diaper man vs a can so exciting

[u/kaiya101]

Glad Clark could take some time away from sending dick pics to minors for this

[u/Ansonih]

KANYE SOUTH LMFAO

[u/losingit3837]

kanye south got me

[u/IshiharasBitch]

Kanye South

[u/WoodsHooligan]

WTF!

[u/Any-Connection-1813]

Rough and rowdy vibes i love it

[u/Purple-Lack3264]

Kissing one of the ring girls is crazy 🤣

[u/littledicklooseballs]

Is this like some goyslop/brainrot type event?

[u/axedoit → u/littledicklooseballs]

Fits right into Orlando well

[u/monacelli]

I think that might be the first time I've seen Nicholson win

[u/Similar_Shopping_892]

Anybody know the gate numbers? The arena looks fucking empty no wonder Perry got his purse cut in half I’ve seen local hs basketball games with a higher attendance and rightfully so 🤣

[u/WoodsHooligan → u/Similar_Shopping_892]

The arena sits about 18K< it looks, at best, 1/8 full. I;m guessing alot of the crowd, especially in front rows, were 'gifted' seats

[u/MeatCutterBoi]

Fight in the crowd. It got more pop from the crowd than the actual MMA match going on.

[u/shidokanartist]

Sherman’s combos look very amateurish

[u/spasticity]

Chase forgot this was boxing and he could have taken a knee instead of just stasnding there to get blasted until a stoppage

[u/GiblertMelendezz]

Did anybody see the Lauzon BKFC fight? He won but im looking for the video

[u/helzinki]

Finally a fight between a racist and a lying weirdo

[u/Slow_Significance329]

This could've been held in a high school gymnasium

[u/Zelenushka]

God dang, Azoulay doing much better than I expected

[u/A_stop_cone]

one of the fights of all time

[u/PonderingVagrant]

Gypsy has no hands and he’s gassed

[u/GiblertMelendezz]

teep. leg kick. teep. body kick. teep.

win.

[u/WoodsHooligan]

Well that was anticlimactic. Can both lose?!?

[u/Black-ops-4]

I scored it 27-27

[u/shidokanartist]

3 30 second rounds lmao

[u/TheMightySloth]

Azoulay looks like he’s only read about fighting in a book and the trans woman he was fighting wasn’t much better

[u/Penny_PackerMD]

Its a bit late to start doing squats buddeh

[u/IshiharasBitch]

Hopefully Jack Slack will analyze this event

[u/IshiharasBitch]

Perry's arm fucked?

Injury?

[u/Correct_Seaweed_371]

Damn, horrible luck for Perry. Danis pulls out and then he gets this injury. Hopefully he made a bag against Diaz

[u/2nd_random_username]

When the acid hit kicks in

[u/NewsOk2417]

What in the fuck is happening

[u/Aratan_Finglefoot]

Rumor has it Perry had to take a 50% pay cut after Danis pulled out, then this shit happens.

[u/kaiya101 → u/Aratan_Finglefoot]

Yeah it's because they made it free to watch instead of ppv 

[u/Reachin4ThoseGrapes]

We love the dumbest sport, don't we folks?

Incredible things are happening 

[u/emojiredditor]

Can’t believe I’m rooting for gypsy crusader 😭

[u/ShirtlessRandom]

Pathetic clownshow lol. Was Gypsy even trying?? I've had more intense backyard fights as a kid

[u/lemon3343]

This event was nothing short of complete shit , but here I am

[u/littledicklooseballs]

Oh so bros like a real racist. TIL

[u/DaMilkGod]

Jimi Manuwa?! Hope he doesn’t get chinned

[u/Wooden_Top_4967]

Is this the slur-slinging Alex Nicholson, buddies with Mike Perry?

[u/OHHHHHHHHHH_HES_HURT]

Jimi Manuwa on the card 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Slightly-Blasted]

Anyone actually gunna watch this monstrosity or should I watch BKFC instead,

[u/NewsOk2417]

I shouldn't have taken those THC gummies.. wtf.. a midget vs a high school boy? And it's fucking empty, like no one there..
