Joe Pyfer stops Israel Adesanya in the 2nd round
further establishing the mw division as the most bigoted division in MMA.
It is time to hang it up Adesanya. This was a fight that old Adesanya wins 9.5/10 times. A big bruiser with no set ups and very little in the way of ideas. Instead, Adesanya allows himself to get drawn into a close range fire fight were he lands but Pyfer lands harder and is able to easily find tie ups to take Adesanya down and pound him out from back mount.
Sad end to a great career. Also fuck Pyfer.
On to Fundora-Thurman
Jack Hermansson takes UD over Joe Pyfer.
Of all the middleweight fights we have gotten the past month, this was probably the best and most interesting.
Hermansson survives what is a brutal 7-8 minute opening where the younger, stronger, faster and more powerful Pyfer is landing at will. Pyfer came out looking like a true blue chip prospect. The left hook was dangerous and versatile. As a counter, as a combo ender, to set up his leg kicks, and as an exit. Pyfer was landing it at will. Looked like he really buzzed Hermansson a few times with it. But by the end of the second round, Pyfer was moving backwards. At first I thought it was him trying to draw out responses to counter after thoroughly dominating on the front foot. But the counters never came. He'd flurry forward and land but he was eating the jab and straight body kicks. Then the third round started and it was all downhill. Hermansson started snapping his head back with the jab and kicking out the lead leg from underneath Pyfer. The 1-2 started landing and Pyfer's burst forward were becoming less frequent. Pyfer tried to rally by coming forward in the 4th but he faded before the round was over and Hermansson got back on the front foot. Then Hermansson sealed a win with a takedown in the 5th and some GnP from inside Pyfer's guard.
Pyfer got Shahbazian-ed. Just did not have the experience, cardio, or depth necessary to deal with an opponent who would not crumble when up against his physical gifts.
Well, we’re into round 3 and Pyfer is immediately out of his element. Dominated most of the first two rounds but was basically on the back foot to close the 2nd. Now Hermansson is piling up on Pyfer with his own jab and leg kicks. And the right hand is starting to land.
Joe Pyfer vs Gerald Meerschaert
2024 has been a "comeback to Earth" year for the middleweight division. Just a bunch of "that happened" fights across every UFC main card we have gotten this year.
Here's hoping that Joe Pyfer (12-2) can inject some excitement into the division. The up and coming middleweight has been gold so far. He's 3-0 in the UFC with solid wins and all of them coming by finish. He'll get a step up in competition when he faces off with Jack Hermansson (23-8) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 236 this Saturday (Feb 10).
