The Pulse of MMA: Fan Reactions To The Sport’s Biggest Stories
In today’s installment of The Pulse of MMA, we look at the raw reactions from MMA fans to this past weekend’s UFC Vegas 36: Brunson vs. Till event.
Marc-Andre Barriault def. Dalcha Lungiambula
#UFCVegas36 That Langambula vs Barriault fight got frantic in the 3rd round. What a start!
— Richard K. (@RichardKuklnski) September 4, 2021
1 warning for eye pokes in the back before the fight, 2 warnings for extended fingers in the Octagon, 1 more warning for eye pokes after you actually poke someone in the eye during a fight…. The UFC way.

Don’t care how the rest of the night goes, GIVE THESE TWO 50k.

Similar accuracy between Marc-Andre Barriault and Dalcha Lungiambula. However, Barriault attempted 289 sig strikes compared to only 217 for Lungiambula #UFCVegas36
— Richard Mann (@RichardAMann) September 4, 2021
I’m not mad at Derek Cleary giving Lungiambula round 2. The striking was close in round 2 but ultimately it should have gone to Barriault for the control and aggression. #UFCVegas36 https://t.co/wAV2UlBHpG

Julian Erosa def. Charles Jourdain
FOTN unbelievable submission in a close fight
— david (@daviddyurko) September 4, 2021
Julian Erosa has now been knocked down in seven of his 10 UFC/DWCS fights. While he is 3-4 in those fights, it is hard to imagine a situation where that does not catch up with him #UFCVegas36
— Richard Mann (@RichardAMann) September 4, 2021
I thought I was trippin. Erosa hit Jourdain with the same sub in the same round as he hit Sean Woodson. #ufcVegas36
— Doc Ellery (@RideWithDoc) September 4, 2021
I remember Erosa being a total chode on TUF back in the day and didn’t want to like him, but he has finally won me over. Way to come back and snap on one of the slickest d’arce chokes I’ve seen! #UFCVegas36

Jack Shore def. Liudvik Sholinian
This kid Shore will be a champ in the next few years…
— Begley (@Begley332) September 4, 2021
I see Jack Shore continued doing Jack Shore things.
Can we start talking about him as an elite prospect and potential threat at bantamweight yet or is 15-0 and 4-0 in the UFC still not good enough yet? #UFCVegas36 #TeamTank
— E. Spencer Kyte (@spencerkyte) September 4, 2021
Dude his striking and head movement was so nice to watch
— Peaty Starlight (@PeatyStarlight) September 4, 2021
Molly McCann def. Ji Yeon Kim
Molly McCann landed 44% of her significant head strike attempts (110 of 249) against Ji Yeon Kim despite having a 10-inch reach disadvantage #UFCVegas36
— Richard Mann (@RichardAMann) September 4, 2021
Fun fight, great heart by both parties, but unfortunately McCann doesn’t break top 15 fighting like that
— Eddie (@Eddie51313055) September 4, 2021
Client Play: #UFCVegas36@WagerTalk
Molly McCann (-110) ✅
I promised myself I’d never bet Molly McCann again…. but here we are. 💰
That heavy pressure and pace overwhelmed Kim getting us to cash.
Meatball getting us back on track.1-1 👍

Paddy Pimblett def. Luigi Vendramini
That style may not win a championship, but it’ll get bonuses and fans. Lots of fun!|
It must be a Liverpool thing.
😎👊 #UFCVegas36— John (@enigmachine) September 4, 2021
Paddy is gonna get smoked bad against real competition lol. Chin is higher than snoop dogg
— Cade👊🏼 (@cadebenson10) September 4, 2021
Love him or hate him, this kid can scrap. He took some big ones in the beginning of the round but like a Champ he fought through & got the 1st round KO. Well done Paddy sir well done. #UFCVegas36 was a success for only 9 fights on the card 💨💨👍🏽 https://t.co/q2Nh0wVDuX
— Jim (@FukingCasuals) September 5, 2021
It’s not “ the casuals “ it was literally Bisping and DC who pointed it out. And yeah he’s being talked about because he has been in the media talking about his ufc debut for a while now. He will definitely get smoked if he doesn’t polish his style. It is just way to open .
— reeeeeeeeeeboi (@reeeeeeeeboi15) September 4, 2021
He has everything so far to be great in this sport ! The Chin, Personality, Power Punch, Style and Charisma ! Welcome Paddy ! am gonna enjoy watching you in the UFC !
— Mali (@SamaliTimi) September 4, 2021
I see many saying that Paddy Pimblett isn’t among the elite yet, I wonder why as he’s clearly had one fight in the UFC, why the rush, why the hate, why the negativity? #ufcvegas36
— stevenjamesirvine (@stevenjmma) September 5, 2021
Khalil Rountree def. Modestas Bukauskas
Khalil throws everything with the intent to kill, one of the scariest dudes on the roster when he’s locked in
— Nik (@SeahawksNik) September 4, 2021
We all give Herb a lot of shit but he was excellent here.
He was quick and didn’t waste a second after he saw he was injured.
— Zinfamous (@ZinfamousHD) September 4, 2021
#UFCVegas36 #UFCFightNight completely horrible ending… that kick should be illegal. I don’t see how that is a legal kick. You’re basically aiming to completely blow out someone’s entire knee. #Rountree should be ashamed of that win.
— Nicholas Adams (@wodanick) September 5, 2021
Potentially career ending… why is that leg kick even allowed
— StaceyHopkins♉ (@StaceyHopkins) September 4, 2021
Y’all casuals on here bad mouthing Khalil Rountree using a LEGAL kick. (Cause y’all never seen Jon Jones throw a oblique kick)🙄 HERE’S THE MAN YOU’RE TALKIN’ SH*T ABOUT! 😤 #UFCVegas36 https://t.co/X1cYHWah4D
— KevinNoel (@KevinNoel) September 4, 2021
Damn Rountree a savage. It really sucks for the other guy tho, possible MCL, ACL, PCL tear. Career changing injuries. Yikes.
— GeoNeo (@AlexGeo25_) September 4, 2021
Khalil Rountree really hit Bukauskas with the kind of move from Tekken that’s usually unblockable, sends the opponent flying and takes up about 1/3 of your life bar. lol #UFCVegas36
— Mikey Bats (@MikeJBknows) September 4, 2021
Because you don’t wanna cause your opponent to require surgery and be out for 1-1.5 years
— Jackson Lowe (@jlowe1005) September 4, 2021
Alex Morono def. David Zawada
Morono just said Knockouts are gold 🥇, submissions are silver 🥈, decisions are bronze 🥉 beautifully said respect ✊ 💪👍#ufcvegas36
— Dado (@Dado3615) September 4, 2021
Alex Morono talking at speeds that Twista would be proud of in his post-fight interview #UFCVegas36
— Alex Sambrook (@sambroooook) September 4, 2021
I would tweet some Alex Morono quotes. However, I haven’t a clue what he said.
How does one talk that quickly?#UFCVegas36
— MMA MOMENTS (@MMAMOMENTS1) September 4, 2021
Tom Aspinall def. Sergey Spivak
Cyril Gane and Tom Aspinall will be fun one day
— Hulises Anaya (@Huli213la) September 4, 2021
Tom Aspinall is a dangerous, dangerous fighter. He’s so well rounded, that combined with his athleticism makes me believe that we potentially have our next British World Champion. #UFCVegas36
— SCHOEY (@_JakeSchofield) September 5, 2021
Till isn’t it. Paddy and Aspinall are the ones to put Liverpool on the map properly! Even though Tom’s from Manchester he figure out of Liverpool! Good to see 3 out 4 scousers winning! #UFCFightNight #UFCVegas36
— D❌N (@D_X_N_) September 5, 2021
Derek Brunson def. Darren Till
At what point do we admit Till sucks? Don’t get me wrong, he fights studs, but he hasn’t evolved or improved at all. Meanwhile that’s all Brunson and other top middleweights do. 1-4 in his last 5 and finished 3 times.
— Freezepop (@DrFreezepop) September 4, 2021
Blonde Brunson is a different animal. Too bad Izzy will run through him like a knife through butter.#UFCVegas36
— WhatsUpMMA (@WhatsUp_MMA) September 5, 2021
Till was throwing strikes yesterday like there was no threat of a takedown. Tried to get Brunson out of there too quick and paid for it 🤦🏼♂️ #UFCVegas36 #MMATwitter
— Ricks Picks MMA (@Ricks_Picks_MMA) September 5, 2021
Let’s be real, the fight to make is Kevin Holland V. Darren Till, it will show if Darren Till is still ready to hang with the top of the division, and it will show if Kevin is now ready to be apart of the top of the division. #UFCVegas36
— Dalton🥋 (@daltonmma0) September 5, 2021
Darren Till most over rated fighter on the roster
— Jordan Eles (@eles51) September 4, 2021
No, maintaining top position is fine. It’s not fair that y’all want points to be worth less because wrestlers beat your fav fighters. Maybe till should’ve been less excited and not ran in unguarded against this guy lol and for the record Tills face says Brunson was busy on top
— Fat Thor (@swazmstrgeneral) September 4, 2021
#UFCVegas36 As painful as it was for him, welterweight is the best division for till. You rarely have a successful fighter that fights at their natural weight. He’s never been a knockout artist at this level, but at WW atleast his size gave opponents something to worry about
