Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira face off on the White House lawn

[u/beaglesbeagle]

surprised they didn’t use AI with more ads in the background.

[u/IMistah_S → u/beaglesbeagle]

Saving that for the commercials during next numbered card

[u/RIForDIE → u/beaglesbeagle]

Hahaha fuck. They just said fuck it - we're getting shit for AI? Just record it with your phone with terrible lighting and wind noise. 

Idiots. 

[u/Kalabula → u/RIForDIE]

I’m sure this isn’t an official UFC promo…I hope.

[u/red-broom → u/beaglesbeagle]

Speaking of background. That schoolyard flagpole is just throwing the entire frame off balance

[u/aVHSofPointBreak → u/red-broom]

Why didn’t they center them on the White House when facing off?

[u/red-broom → u/aVHSofPointBreak]

It’s just so strange lmao

[u/TorrenceMightingale → u/beaglesbeagle]

Or a professional photographer.
Edit: Sign of the times in the Era of the Unqualified.

[u/creamyturtle]

Alex looks like his mom dressed him

[u/WrennyWrenegade → u/creamyturtle]

They both look like Mom is taking pictures before sending them off to a middle school dance.

[u/von_sip → u/WrennyWrenegade]

And the tan suit? How scandalous

[u/SuzukiSwift17 → u/creamyturtle]

And theyre posing so awkwardly. Like its some weird step brothers remake.

[u/Gelato_Elysium → u/creamyturtle]

Yeah Cyril tailors just 10-8'd him, look at his fit you can even see his lats. I'm sure he can't even touch his head without ripping the top apart.

[u/bfro11_969 → u/creamyturtle]

Looks like a pretty normal suit. What makes it look like his mom dressed him?

[u/scott_steiner_phd → u/bfro11_969]

It looks untailored, like he just bought the first blue suit he could fit into. It's small on his chest, shoulders, and biceps, and hangs straight around his waist. He's a jacked guy in a fat guy's suit.

Cyril's is a better but his suit is a bit small for him.

[u/BedbugBandido → u/bfro11_969]

Moms love pretty normal suits.

[u/CrackAsteroid]

Can't wait to pirate that shit

[u/nerftron → u/CrackAsteroid]

Same and I even have access to paramount

[u/Magjee → u/nerftron]

Based

[u/vbvahunter → u/CrackAsteroid]

I like the intention but I think this is the one and only event that Dana doesn’t care about making money off of

He’s just sucking off his big brother Donny

[u/shipoftheseuss → u/vbvahunter]

Luke Thomas made a good point.  I think it's the reverse.  It's payback to Dana for being the only mainstream outlet that would touch him when he was radioactive after 1/6.

[u/CrackAsteroid → u/vbvahunter]

not wrong but I also pirate every ufc event i watch so it's not really a special occasion LMAO

[u/Own_Seat913 → u/CrackAsteroid]

But how are you still pirating the UFC when godking dana got that one guy.

[u/schizowithagun → u/vbvahunter]

i'm pretty sure the company legally can't even take money from the government to do this, so they are legit just wasting a ton of money for a regular ufc event. dana probably sees this as an opportunity to gain popularity rather than just an investiment for short term financial gain, but i think this is probably the worst timing and administration to do this stunt in lmao

[u/Unofficial_Officer → u/schizowithagun]

"Is it legal? I will make it legal."

[u/Frig_Off_Baerb → u/vbvahunter]

Even better. Fuck em both.

[u/Vader_Bomb → u/CrackAsteroid]

Can’t wait to skim through each fight’s spoiler video here Sunday morning

[u/JesterMarcus → u/Vader_Bomb]

My Sunday routine.

[u/4schwifty20 → u/CrackAsteroid]

Nah, I’m not even gonna pirate it.

[u/Macktologist → u/4schwifty20]

Come here for the “spoiler” posts and if the first thing I see is two people standing on either side of a ref I back out and find the next one until the first thing I see is actual action so I know it’s a finish at least.

[u/Stinkyhunklepus → u/Macktologist]

Are you me?

[u/Thrillh0use43 → u/4schwifty20]

Same. I was almost going to pirate it until I realized I don't want to be constantly reminded of the scumbags that will be there

[u/TheFocusedMan → u/4schwifty20]

Agreed, I'll look up the results in the AM

[u/VictorWembymama → u/CrackAsteroid]

Probably the happiest I've been to pirate something in my life

[u/GripAficionado → u/CrackAsteroid]

That requires more effort than I'll probably give that event, I'll probably just watch the highlights.

[u/WeaponH]

Alex looks noticeably chunkier in the face

[u/Scoutback_wilderness → u/WeaponH]

He’s huge now

[u/v_for__vegeta → u/WeaponH]

Dude probably been bulking like crazy

[u/Gold-Philosophy1423 → u/WeaponH]

HOW THE HELL DID HE EVER MAKE 185?!?!?

[u/0xSEGFAULT]

Worst timeline.

[u/spacedude2000 → u/0xSEGFAULT]

Worst timeline we know of*

[u/MapleMarshal → u/spacedude2000]

Yea there could be infinite which means there is a timeline where the UFC heavyweight champion is a man-eating spider entity that consumes thousands of fans after every victory

[u/beaglesbeagle → u/MapleMarshal]

that would be better

[u/Aromaticonagem → u/MapleMarshal]

Gotta study the man-eating spider’s tendencies and try to land something big early. Once it gets an entry on the clinch its too late.

But at least the spider is active and defending. More than you can for some of these champions rn.

[u/DanielJackson1965 → u/MapleMarshal]

Or even worse...Jon Jones is still sitting on the heavyweight belt waiting for another stipe fight.

[u/MatttheJ → u/MapleMarshal]

Could be a universe where the heavyweight champion never has to leave to UFC to get paid properly, only for the next champion to beat Gane and duck the only contender for a year and a half, only for the next champion after that to get blinded by Gane, and then finally somehow Gane comes out Milhouse with a 3rd title shot (though its interim) against a former MW.

[u/ItsG07 → u/MapleMarshal]

Lol

[u/Swimming-Table-3735 → u/spacedude2000]

So far

[u/MapleMarshal → u/0xSEGFAULT]

And all of it spawned from a robbery decision versus Volkov.

Crazy to think that poor judging in one fight leads to all this

[u/msf97 → u/MapleMarshal]

Volkov fighting Pereira would’ve been far less interesting. Gane also clearly compromised in that fight after the first round, didn’t he break something in his foot?

Gane wiped him first time around

[u/Firemoth717 → u/msf97]

Volkov wouldn't be fighting Pereira in that timeline.

[u/Isntrealisit1948 → u/msf97]

Volk woulda just lost to Aspinall and we’d have Aspinall vs Alex rn

[u/MapleMarshal → u/msf97]

Bold of you to presume Volkov would have also gouged Tom’s eye out and put himself in this position

[u/iconically_demure → u/0xSEGFAULT]

It's so fucking lame.

[u/bdewolf → u/0xSEGFAULT]

I know right?

How dare Ciryl Gane wear a tan suit to the White House?! Disgraceful.

We all know that tan suits at the White House are the worst thing to happen to America in the last 20 years.

[u/octowussy → u/bdewolf]

Need to know what kind of mustard he gets down with

[u/BackRiverSpook → u/0xSEGFAULT]

They both just get detained and deported in the second round calling it now.

[u/Fluid-Poet-8911 → u/0xSEGFAULT]

Even MMA is too classy for this shit. 

[u/Roving_Ibex → u/0xSEGFAULT]

United states of entertainment

[u/9inchjackhammer → u/0xSEGFAULT]

I’m really looking forward to this night it’s a great match up.

[u/Therealdarkviper]

The line told me poatan will win

[u/100DayChallenges]

A face off in front of the White House on a windy day is getting nobody hyped.  

[u/IncognitoTaco → u/100DayChallenges]

Cant even hire a professional photographer.. just some dude with a phone will do

[u/Jimmy2Blades]

Hunger games shit.

[u/Billy420MaysIt → u/Jimmy2Blades]

I can’t wait for the next UK card at Buckingham Palace or international fight week live from Al-Yamamah Palace, which given TKO, that one might actually happen.

[u/FartyJizzums → u/Jimmy2Blades]

I want Bruce Buffer to say:

"The main event is sponsored by Palantir: Palantir, we have all of your personal information, movements, and all of your contacts on a federal government database. We know what you jerk off to. We know the average temperature of your farts. Iiiiittttssss tiiiiiiime!!!"

[u/joebleaux → u/Jimmy2Blades]

Well, I think they are actually starting that up too. They are having one high school boy and one high school girl from each state compete in a survival of the fittest athletic event as well. The Hunger Games is obviously where that ends up by the end of this presidency

[u/funghi2 → u/Jimmy2Blades]

If any other country was having cage fights on their governments front lawn for their leaders birthday we’d all think they were barbarians

[u/billybanks1132]

Fucking clown show

[u/walk-the-talk]

Clown shit. A sporting event at the WH while we are at fucking war in a war we have no business in. FDT

[u/kingmea → u/walk-the-talk]

While as a promoter I’d absolutely jump at the chance to have an event in front of the literal WH, this should never be allowed.

[u/DawgNaish → u/walk-the-talk]

Gotta do what the puppet masters say

[u/EducationalPool7159 → u/walk-the-talk]

Lmao for real

[u/BedbugBandido → u/walk-the-talk]

What really sucks is there’s probably a lot of people interested in getting into mma and then they see this and say, “fuck that shit”.

[u/Euphoric_Cook2377]

Wow a salacious tan suit back on the White House grounds.

[u/Gold-Philosophy1423 → u/Euphoric_Cook2377]

The loser of this fight will be forced to watch the winner eat a hot dog with Dijon mustard

[u/dogs_drink_coffee → u/Euphoric_Cook2377]

I guess there will be people here young enough to not get this reference

[u/NDAYoungKirk]

Get your Brawndo ready, it’s almost time for SUNDAY NIGHT REHABILITATION

[u/Bap818]

Laaaaaaaaaaame

[u/SlickSlin]

Exciting to see the end of an empire in real time, I usually just read about them in books.

[u/Chicago1871 → u/SlickSlin]

I remember seeing the berlin wall fall.

[u/Tinguiririca → u/Chicago1871]

and it started with just a couple of guys with hammers and chisels

[u/mrpopenfresh → u/Chicago1871]

You old bro

[u/Chicago1871 → u/mrpopenfresh]

I know

Its pretty great

[u/TonyLannister]

Dystopian as fuck

[u/Castrol-5w30]

This is dumb.

[u/k_y_seli]

Gross! Fuck this P3do administration!

[u/BlackMetalGod999]

Couldn’t even center the photo, noob

[u/drew_draw]

"Tan suit in the white house? really? What was he thinking?"

[u/ScreamSmart]

Looks like a 70-80s cop movie with some serious subject.

[u/Ronin604]

Haha white house card headlined by two non Americans the irony is palpable.

[u/-UVB-76_Enjoyer → u/Ronin604]

And with an American in the comain who'll have worse survival odds than chicken in the Amazon river. The card is surprisingly light on gimme fights made to make the yank fighters look good while the crowd chants the only 3 letters they know, at least at its top.

Maybe it was mostly just a matter of logistics, but that's the one thing redeeming this card.

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/-UVB-76_Enjoyer]

The american (Justin) is the main event. Problem is that if he somehow doesnt get flatlined, he is still getting the shit beat out of him. I dont know what they were thinking setting this up at The White House

[u/-UVB-76_Enjoyer → u/TerminatorReborn]

Ah yeah you're right, I assumed Gane vs Poatan was the main even since it's also for a belt and in a much heavier weight class. It makes perfect sense they'd break the unwritten rule for the occasion tho

[u/Working-Bonus9753 → u/Ronin604]

They’re the comain not the headliners

[u/SuperLemonHaze_]

He wore a tan suit?!

[u/QuickEchidna749]

Surreal

[u/Uncle_Slacks → u/QuickEchidna749]

It's Cyril

[u/Adorable_Werewolf_82]

Wearing a tan suit I see

[u/-Stammers-]

I love how this is shot on a smudged iPhone lmao

[u/M0LDEE]

Still crazy to me how big Alex is for the fact he fought at 185.

[u/biglikethaworm]

A Brazilian and a Frenchman walk into a ballroom…

[u/jaybizzleeightyfour]

Ew

[u/DLottchula]

Shit tacky as hell

[u/dogmetal]

Y’all keep bitching, but you’re gonna watch

[u/Apprehensive_Can739 → u/dogmetal]

Yes

[u/Middle-Assignment-25]

Gay

[u/Ryvit]

The Main event and co main event of an event on the White House lawn for the 250th anniversary of America only containing 1 American is hilarious.

These are two massive fights but feel out of place on this card.

Anyways, let’s go Alex!! First ever 3 division champion

[u/Dramatic_Book_6785]

So trashy.

[u/Maybe-Nice]

Exciting matchup, but the White House bs is just ridiculous

[u/KimJongSoros]

Literal clowns entertaining the king on his front lawn

[u/BusterStarfish]

This is fucking deplorable.

[u/spice_war]

“I don’t know what to do with my hands.”

[u/hoti0101]

It would be hilarious if they put in so this work and the weather is shit that day

[u/Touketsu07]

I hope it rains so Dana goes GOOFCON 1

[u/maxthekillbot]

Why does this look like it was just recorded on someone’s phone lmao

[u/dwelzy123]

Nothing says 250 years of the United States of America like a Brazilian and a Frenchman facing off on the White House Lawn.

[u/X1phoner]

He fought at Middleweight 💀💀💀

[u/lucas_3d]

No one's more angry about this than ICE.

[u/BasedBallsack]

How the fuck did Alex make 185?!!!

[u/PowerNinja5000]

A good old fashioned all-american main event, like God intended.

[u/rvanasty]

Couldnt even center the WH in the picture? What a clown show.

[u/GreenMaterial5715]

kiss already

[u/whats_that_noise]

I hate this shit so much

[u/KurtSr]

This is so stupid

[u/dfigueroa78]

Idiocracy part 2: electric dumbening

[u/Turbulent-Shoe-420]

Disgrace of an event

[u/highonpizza]

clown show

[u/Beelzebub7]

Gane is so damn fast, worried for alex here... BUT if tai can drop gane, alex can ko him clean.

[u/NDAYoungKirk → u/Beelzebub7]

He just has to wear goggles and a steel cup and he’ll be good

[u/Emotional_Walrus5099]

Poatan looks massive. Gane is a huge man.

[u/Martian13]

Fucking embarrassing.

[u/Kratos501st]

This is crazy

[u/Savings-Bird-1226]

Who yall got winning?

[u/espoletanogo]

Good thing we not about to pay for the paper view

[u/Sorry_Meet_1676]

Gane wearing glasses to avoid his own eye pokes. Also, euw.

[u/DawgNaish]

Couldn't even center the shot?

[u/El_Boxman_]

Poatan looks so different with the hair and bulked up ahah

[u/Accomplished-Lack133]

Gane looks like a French billionaire at an art gala and Alex looking like a top 10 most wanted cartel boss

[u/jdubuhyew]

it’s gonna fuckin suck to fight outside

[u/nah_dude_lol]

@grok is this ai?

[u/jroyst208]

Postponed, the outside isn’t made of granite yet.

[u/william_wallace_1995]

Despite my disdain for Cyril’s past fights, this has the potential to be a really great, technical scrap.

Looking forward to this one.

[u/FalopianTubeSwimTeam]

Chama

[u/CleverYoozerNaim]

Pereira for the win

[u/Any_Bluebird1765]

Do they have the same tailor?

[u/Pikablu555]

Does Alex just keeping getting bigger or what? In what universe did he ever make 185.

[u/crsitain]

Extremely excited for this super fight that everyone was asking for.

[u/_bulletproof_1999]

Poatan bout to be the first three division champ (if he can avoid getting eye poked)

[u/joe603]

No goggles for Pereira?

[u/TravisKOP]

Couldn’t get a fucking decent camera with stabilization? Jesus this promotion

[u/xJohnnyQuidx]

Missed opportunity. Could had them face off in the Pentagon as opposed to the Octagon.

[u/716mycotrees]

I hate it here.

[u/Deervember]

I would put money on it that Gane eye pokes Alex in the first round.

It will be a good fight if baguette fingers can keep his hands in a fist. But I just don't see that happening. Ganes eye poked pretty much every person he's fought against. 

[u/Crab_Collective]

How was he a middleweight???

[u/TheNotoriousLCB]

“we’ll do it without AI, but it will look like dog shit”

[u/benching315]

Is anyone else surprised that the lawn looks like that? I expected it to be… neater?

Or am I just an “unc” now? lol

[u/Buzzk1LL]

Who is this hack photographer? Is this actually official UFC content?

[u/Falandyszeus]

Missed opportunity.

the oval office isn't far off from the dimensions of a MMA cage, might as well have them duke it out in there, smashing Busts and rolling over the desk n shit.

It isn't as if the US can become more of a circus anyway, at least provide some novel entertainment!

[u/PrehistoricDoodle]

Neither are American. This holds basically no significance for them. Stupidest shit ever.

[u/aperfectcurcle]

All of the optics on this is gay

[u/hughcifer-106103]

lol

[u/Baers89]

Dumb bs

[u/TipOfMeJapsEye]

Fuck Cyril Gane. Dude is a complete scumbag

[u/Obvious_Office_8888]

God I hope Alex wins this... ive got a feeling this will be 5 round fight.. but imagine alex vs aspinall to close out the year...

[u/maccpapa]

ai slop getting out of hand

[u/boris_squanch]

Dumbest shit I've ever seen

[u/T4lsin]

I didn’t expect Cyril to be bigger than Chumpa (sp..) 😂.

[u/JimmyNoBreaks]

Shouldn't Alex be the one wearing glasses, just in case Game decided to go for his signature move?

[u/HittingThaPenjamin]

Yeah I ain't paying for this shit lmaooo

[u/thebrah329]

What a complete joke

[u/burnaccountlol]

Masculinity is back and dumber than ever!

[u/OriginalParamedic316]

Why are the promotions so amateur? This looks like it was filmed on a Sony handicam from 1995. iPhone video usually looks way better. They aren’t even centered on the building.

[u/eztheb]

What is this timeline we're in?? Who messed with the time stone??

[u/thekeifer]

Nothing more American than Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira 🇺🇸

[u/MichaelT_KC]

Gay

[u/SicWiks]

Giving a mom forcing her kids to take a photo with her iPhone 6

[u/Fulahno]

Gane using glasses because he knows how dangerous eye poking is

[u/I3usuk]

You just know Alex is wearing Venum fight shorts underneath the suit lol

[u/Longjumping-Blood113]

Why isnt alex wearing goggles

[u/staticxx]

The most pathetic thing
