Haters gonna hate but it was Yair"s armbar that forced Brian to force his arm out and dislocate. I was watching the free Spanish broadcast and they immediately gave him credit saying the pressure of the arm bar is what made Brian try to awkwardly take his arm out resulting in dislocation.
Nice spin attempt by Brian after tho
It looked like he was fighting to get out of it for sure, and yes, the position caused Ortega to pop his shoulder, but I don’t doubt what he says about not feeling he was in danger. Brian’s got one of the sickest ground games in the UFC, I don’t think he’s likely to get caught in an arm bar by a stand up specialist like Yair.
I always love watching both of these guys fight though, and was really looking forward to this one. Stayed inside on a beautiful sunny afternoon to catch the main event. Super disappointing outcome. Fuck this shit, I’m out… the lake is screaming my name!
Retarded thread
Cro Cop dislocating Josh Barnetts arm counts as a sub just like this does imo.
It was scored as a KO/TKO. Should it have been a sub?
FWIW most people playing props had Yair KO/TKO
If all was perfect yeah, technically it was a submission because Ortega submitted.
Not an ideal outcome but it is what is is;
Yair created the circumstance that led to the outcome.
OP is absolutely correct
Yair set up the armbar and Ortega gave up after he got out, that’s a sub
FWIW, Yair by KO/TKO was +380 and Yair by sub was +2000. But I dont know how many tickets were sold for sub even at 20-1
100%
I wouldn’t go that far. It was nice defense by Yair but an unfortunate outcome nonetheless.
Gloating about it is straight douche level though
I love when someone starts a thread that is 100% objectively true AND a troll job. Always much appreciated, rarely pulled off tactfully.
I agree, OP did a great job
Not a sub, he got lucky just like he got lucky in the zombie fight.
He threw an elbow meant to hurt zombie, and it landed. Luck? Maybe…planned elbo? Definitely
Yair was looking good on the feet. Ortega has taken too much damage from strikes in his career. This thread is stupid.
Yair was whooping on Ortega. Only thing Brian did the whole round was push Yair up against the cage for a minute or whatever.
One man wanted to fight, the other wanted to stall.
Glad yair got the win and I don’t think there should be a rematch.
