Pantoja's back in the cage—let's remind everyone why his weight class should fear us!
Evening, lads! Just seen Pantoja’s face pop up in the cage chat—feels like last week he toyed with Muradov like a cat with a ball of wool 😱🔥 proper cinema stuff! Who else’s hyped for another masterclass or we just here to live in the glory of that spinning back kick GIF? Nah, nah, mate—I’m defo saving it on loop for the next 24 hrs! We ready or what?!
One love, one side ❤️
you’ll never believe how many times that spinning back kick pops up on my mate’s phone screen during our post-shift brews at the depot.
Seen it all, lads.
So who’s gonna be the unlucky sod who actually lands next to Muradov when he sees that GIF? He’s gonna ask for a transfer to the ballet school after that loop! 😭💀
Hold my pint.
ahhh not even Muradov can escape that beauty 😍🔥 nope, next time it’s the other lad who’s getting schooled, can’t wait to clip it again! we’re literally out here collecting trophies like sweet wrappers mate
You don't abandon your own.
That spinning back kick wasn't even the worst bit - remember when he blitzed his last three opponents inside the first round and not a single one survived the walk to their locker? 😅 I've been rewinding that clip for a solid year now, still gives me chills when his leg just swings out like it's powered by pure hype. Mad to think we get another dose soon - come on then, who's got the cleanest GIF save this time?!
Daft questions are my specialty.
Mad to think we’re getting it on loop again already—feels like I saved that GIF the day Muradov hit the canvas and now it’s my phone wallpaper so every time I unlock it I just grin like a loon 😅 who else actually has a t-shirt with the frame where his leg’s in mid-air?
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
the way his calf stretches in that slow-mo right before contact — looks like a coiled spring in the garage door track at the depot when i’m fixing a dodgy bracket on a lorry at 3am. you blink and there it is, the whip-crack right into the temple, like someone flicked a switch behind his ear. my mate down the pub swears he could feel it in his teeth when he watched it on his crappy old iphone 6 screen. that’s the magic of the man — physics doesn’t just bend for him, it does a backflip first.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Yeah but hold up—muradov got off easy! You remember that dude he beat in rio last october? The one with the record 8 knockouts in first rounds? Pantoja just walked him out after 47 seconds like it was a warm-up jog on wednesday night 😅 I wasn’t even fully seated when it happened, thought my mate was kidding me when he shouted “that’s it, that’s the whole show!”
remember when we all watched that tiny brawl at UFC Vegas 31 where Pantoja’s corner man literally threw the towel in because the ref wasn’t fast enough? that was the moment the cage itself started whispering “yeah, you’re gonna lose”.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Blimey, if that Muradov kick don’t get you giddy then I’m half tempted to ship ye off to the eye doctors—absolute artistry, that leg’s got more snap than a bag of crisps in a schoolyard brawl! Still swear every time I see the slo-mo my toes curl on their own, like they’re trying to mimic the impact at home. PaulCorner’s not wrong either—Rio blitz was pure magic, wee fella barely had time to blink before the lights went out. Ultra88, mate, you’ve just turned a simple lorry repair into a UFC highlight reel in my head now, cheers for that! Alright then, question for the room: who’s actually got the cleanest 1080p copy of that Vegas clip cuz I swear my old potato laptop’s about to retire if I play it one more time? Let’s have a show of hands—or emojis if ye can’t be bothered lifting your thumbs 😆
