Miles Bridges perfectly ducked Isaiah Stewart’s punch and shot for a double-leg, but Stewart didn’t go down due to the weight difference.

Oh wow, totally pulled that one from the brain rolodex thinking, “ehh what are the odds someone with an organ transplant will…” lol, whoops.
Hope you’re well!
Stewart and Bridges look like they are really about it. Duren looked like he was trying to hold himself back, it looked like Duren could’ve gotten loose at the beginning but played into the people holding him back.
Bridges bout that life. Just ask his baby momma.
Duren had the biggest name in the altercation so I commend the restraint. There’s nothing tough about fighting on the basketball court with all the restrictions. If you really want to get down, athletes have the clearest schedules, you can make it happen.
“Restraint” would have been not mushing Moose in the first place. Instead he ran away and hoped there would be no consequences.
Moving some clown away from your face is fair game. He evened it out one for one
I dont think its fair game to do that and not expect a fight to start lol. Even Jaylen Brown, an actual NBA player agrees.
You’re talking to people who have never been in a fight or a situation that could ever become a fight.
It’s similar to the pool Draymond things.
The chest bumping head bumping is just bucking, it’s aggression that isn’t going to be taken forward than that.
The pushing immediately escalates it to fight
The mush was restraint lol. No one should be in your personal space unabated. But a punch or punches in that environment is multiple games without pay. That’s million dollar punches that you don’t get the full worth out of except people online saying you’re tough. And the game checks are nowhere near equal. That’s what you have Stewart running off the bench for lol.
He ain’t run at all he politely stepped back dude wasn’t scared even when mo came running at him
I think Duren is used to it. He is a literal behemoth. He could’ve crushed Moussa’s head if he was really feeling it. 6’10, 250, with Rondo hands is no joke.
nobody whos first instinct is to mush and run is gonna do anything in a fight lol
He’s just smart enough not to get into it. It’s only the dumbasses that start recklessly throwing hands, which is why it’s Stewart and Bridges. They’re too dumb and emotional to think ahead about suspensions and docked pay.
Nevermind JDub. Still remember the first Wizards/Pistons game after that draft and thinking what kind of idiot takes Johnny Davis over Duren.
Duren started the whole thing. Lol
I would add that it was a perfectly timed double leg, but Bridges gotta get his hips in quicker to complete the takedown.
I know it’s harder for tall people to bend but he coulda sunk a level and it would have worked. No one ever taught me how to wrestle tho so idfk. Sitting on my couch rn getting high diffed by laundry.
Yeah he’s too high for the double leg to truly hit correctly, he’s going to get hit with the gilly
Very well timed, but the woman beater was also a too high on Isaiahs hips. Gave Stewart too much room to get his hips back. Had aimed for the quads and locked up closer to the knees, he very well may have ended up claiming another victim
Weight difference has nothing to do with it though. Didn’t shoot through the double enough to get stew on his back. Great timing though
And people came in to prop him up.
Didn’t get low enough either
Send beef stew to Dagestan 2-3 years and forget.
I really HATE seeing people holding back the defender in fights, like you are making them defenseless and really vulnerable.. I mean that guy is holding Bridges left arm as Stewart is charging at him… like WTF?
either get in the middle and take the hit or step back and wait for an opportunity to subdue the attacker, not completely make the defender immobile??
Except it ain’t. It’s let me grab your booty so I don’t get hit in the face.
we’re a boxing sub now
We need more of this content. Unfortunately only betting is allowed.
Stew probably opens at -215 here bc of the weight and experience with shenanigans
Only -215?
According to one woman, Bridges can actually fight pretty well.
I remember someone saying “how much anger do you have to have to actively unplug the power cable and HDMI from an Xbox and hit a spouse with it?”
And that really stuck with me
I actually predicted this exact brawl outcome on Kalshi and I’m now a millionaire. What’s stopping you from being a millionaire? Kalshi: where predicting the future gets you paid!
We on kalshi now
Made 10k on Kalshi correctly predicting that you’d make this comment
Future is now old man 😎
Thanks Giannis. Does Kalshi have a bet up about you going to the Celtics? I’d take that bet.
This fight was better than the Super Bowl
I would take a legality swap: hockey style throw downs become legal, betting now gets you the chair
Only 1v1’s are allowed, no one is allowed to help/join and they are not allowed to leave the court until one submits. Viewership would go off the roof. Not to mention the rivalries and story lines this would create.
It wasn’t the weight diff. Stewart didn’t go down cause the double-leg technique was wrong. He put a lot of the clinch by the hips instead of the thighs and his back position was very off. Definitely could’ve taken him down if he fixed that.
Send Bridges 2-3 years Dagestan and forget
Imagine unleashing Dagestani Bridges on the American woman populace
At least he won’t stand and bang
Put Max Holloway in the NBA, damnit
Send Bridges 2-3 years prison and
Prison is probably preferable to Dagestan honestly
2 minutes in the bedroom will do the trick
That was a nasty line, by you
In 2029, Akhmat Bridges emerges
This was tryout tape for Dagestani Basketball league?
Can you imagine how much worse this fight would’ve been if there was a legit takedown and ground and pound?
How much better this fight would have been, you mean? Bridges got his lower half undercut by coaches legs in the pile otherwise I’m pretty sure he would have finished that take down
For us yes, for the league no.
The racist in charge would’ve set the country back another 30 years by calling all black people savages or something
Right fights in hockey are called passion and they want it badly! i seen so many “thugs” comments yesterday from people who don’t even watch
Also the racists voted for that racist who’s associated with an island that diddles kids because the opposition was a black woman
They don’t exactly need an excuse to be who they are
Oh, he doesn’t need any reasons to do that. He did it just last weekend.
Probably would have fucked up the floor lol
Yeah I think this is not as much that he couldn’t take him down and that maybe he had a moment of clarity and realized it was not a good idea.
Miles Bridges???
I don’t think he’s capable of good ideas
Well, that’s a fair point.
I’m not impressed unless theres a flying armbar.
That said, I think that shot at the waist was on purpose. Given how Miles kept backing up and sized up Stewart i think he intentionally decided to not make this fight any worse.
Yeah Bridges is used to assaulting women, so he was poorly calibrated here
Also people gather around them and keep him from being able to even drive Stewart backwards with any speed, at the end I’m pretty sure they are even being somewhat held up by the people trying to keep them apart
Yeah, there’s not really a huge weight difference. Stewart might have 20 pounds on him
Looks to me like he was about low enough at the end of his duck but then immediately grabbed upward instead of more forward and that’s what ruined it.
Exactly lmao, OP says “double leg” when hes wrapping around his waist lmao
I came here to say this. Terrible technique. Needs more time on the mats.
Time to put him in the shot, re-shot drill
Punk ass bridges could’ve taken him down. He had the momentum on his side. Poor beef stew, he was so close to landing lol
He missed the double-leg takedown and went for a double cheek instead, which is not nearly as effective.
The closest I think this could have turned into would have been an inverted atomic drop (like HHH used to do) but weight would definitely be a factor there.
And the way Stewart rushed in there someone with NBA-athleticism who isn’t a tiny guard should physically be able to do a double-leg take down on him there if applied even halfway decently.
Beef stew been in so many fights that his opps have been studying tape. Miles saw that telegraphed wrong legged right hook from a mile away
Hahahaha
In the NBA it’s not good for you and your team if you land a punch. Much better to act tough and swing and miss.
If you swing and miss you’re still getting suspended. You better make that shit worth it
Alvarado knew the assignment
Who’s that one guy that broke someone’s nose and face in a game, I think it was the 70s/80s
Kermit Washington ended Rudy Tomjanovic’s season and career somewhat with a sucker punch
Which is the reason fights are taken a lot more seriously than they were in the wilin 70s
Look at that weave in slo mo and look me in the eye and tell me its kayfabe. Miles got that patience on the duck from countless beatdowns of 5’1” women and held in the pocket because he watched the film on zay. His pupils are dialed in on that left big toe of Stewart. Thats a natural born killer right there.
He came off the bench and threw a punch. He should get the biggest suspension out of anyone
Oh he will
His history plus coming off the bench? Anything less than 15 games is a slap on the wrist and I’m being generous with that number
I’m absolutely hammering the under on that, no shot he gets 15
Boooooooo, booooooooo! Let em fight
With Beef stew it’s not an act though. That dude is always ready to throw hands.
I didn’t understand why everybody kept saying Bridges was scared of Stewart because Bridges never ran
People understandably hate Bridges so they are just going to say whatever because he’s a POS. I get it, but yeah they are saying what they want to happen/whatever to make him look like the trash that they believe he should be seen as.
No one needs to say anything, Bridges is a piece of human excrement. I wonder if he is slipping and weaving and dodging punches when he is fighting women 1⁄3 his size.
Well yeah look at him, perfectly squared up he’s practiced that move dozens of times
he’s practiced that move dozens of times
Homeschooled
You perfectly encapsulate my point. He is absolutely a piece of shit. But this is a separate incident and I think some people prefer to talk about incidents independently of each other and try to take emotion out of it.
However, I don’t think that’s how most people operate.
Its a fight in an NBA game. It doesnt need serious commentary from any of us.
yeah but i think the point is that there wasn’t even any fun discussion taking place. pretty much every comment involving bridges was just “LMFAO stewart beat him up! he was so scared”
i enjoy some good miles bridges slander, but it’s kinda cringe watching a bunch of adults writing fiction about a scenario we literally have footage of lol
Saw someone on here say he was scared because he ducked. Like he’s supposed to just stand there and get punched.
Redditors probably think you’re supposed to catch the punch and smirk at them like you’re Vegeta or something
Redditors would need a fucking mental health break after 1/64th of this level of confrontation lol.
Confirmed. I need a mental break after sending an email.
Probably an “Alpha” Male right lol
‘Stop spamming block’ energy
The only one who ran was Duren. I buy that he wasn’t trying to get suspended, but he escalated and then ran away the entire time.
I don’t think he was expecting this much of a reaction. Guy’s been in enough scraps to show it was him avoiding a suspension.
He probably should’ve expected a big reaction when he mushed someone.
They don’t like Miles for good reason, so they’re gonna push a narrative even if it doesn’t make sense. Theres legit Pistons fans saying Stew beat Miles’ ass
Seriously, people talk about fighting in the NBA like the two guys should just start rock em sock em. Screw Bridges, but he (1) looks like he knows how to fight and (2) isn’t going to get the same fine and suspension as he would if he’d just thrown down like a drunk.
If Beef Stew is running at Anthony Joshua or Jon Jones they aren’t going to stand there with their chin in the air jawin and waiting for him to connect, like numbnuts fans think is real fighting. They’re going to back up in a good stance like Bridges did or circle away. Or Jon might oblique kick him and end his career, I guess.
Well good on you for clearing his image. We can’t have people thinking he’s a bitch now
Not only does he not run away it’s taking two people to pull him backwards and he still reengages ffs
The NBA should scrap the NBA all star game and instead let the All Stars that are voted in act as a counsel that votes on 3 boxing matches that happen on the same day the all star game is usually played. They can take rivalries and beefs and put em in a ring. This will never happen but I think people would watch
You joke but more people would watch this than the actual All Star Game soooo….
Yeah hell yeah people would watch it but Adam sliver is too soft. He’d be clutching his pearls at just the thought of this. Instead we’ll get a half court shooting competition and 3 on 0 “fast” breaks
Adam the type of guy to have a Henry Kissinger shrine in his office
I wouldn’t make it boxing, I’m happy with basketball being CTE-free… but something grappling based i would definitely enjoy…
I’d be fine with just a king of the court style 1 on 1 tournament. Whoever wins has the “best bag” in the nba and then gets a literal bag of cash. I think players would be incentivized by that
It should also include a fan vote component. I want Gobert vs Dray, Luka vs Nico, and Dillon Brooks vs LeBron.
I think Lance and Dillon should fight first to pick Lebron’s opponent.
As long as we can gamble on it Silvers game
I wanna see Jokic vs SGA. Winner takes MVP, so Jokic can get his fourth
Jokic brothers vs the Morris twins cage match style
I would actually pay for the ppv if they could finish this, which is saying something cause I streameast all ufc fights. Also this angle is sick lol I thought Stewart initially man handled him but that was a sick dodge from bridges.
You don’t have to pay for the ppv anymore they’re just on paramount+
But then you’re giving David Ellison and the UFC money
I’m in the “fuck Miles Bridges” camp but beef stew don’t know how to fight at all. That’s embarrassing
I mean tbf he did have miles in a headlock throwing punches at him but that’s cause bridges didn’t take him down correctly lol.
People gathering around them played a role in that failed takedown too
You decided that from one punch he threw in an NBA game? He grew up boxing, he most definitely knows how to fight
Bro was a boxer…..
Happy this angle came out. People were acting like Bridges turn and ran. Beef was full throttle running in but Bridges = bad so people want him to stand and get tackled.
What people say: “Bridges is a bitch! He didn’t take that hit like a man”
What people think: “I just wanted to see Bridges get hit”
Beef stew is the only NBA enforcer since the 90s to actually seek out a fight
Its a breath of fresh air with all these actors exhibiting the hold me back energy and not throwing a single punch
This is James Johnson erasure
Thats great but Jordan Clarkson still the record holder for square ups per game
Bridges is a POS, but all this he’s backpedalling because he’s scared is just ignorance. Bridges obviously has some fight training, and when your opponent is bigger, stronger, and highly aggressive (carelessly), waiting for an opportunity to counter with your own strike or take him down is the right move. Wil reiterate, Bridges is a POS.
Bridges tries to throw the first punch and misses though.
As usual people embellish Stewart’s fights. The way people talk about what happened, you would think he came in with a double knee followed by consecutive punches that sent half the Hornets flying into the stands.
Are you kidding!? Bro, was 5 seconds away from fully charging his Kamehameha wave. He was ready to detonate on the entire arena. He’s clearly the prince of all Beef Stews.
Dang this was an actual lil scrap
Those reps fighting women have improved his speed and hand to eye coordination
Unfortunately they aren’t as heavy as Beef Stew so it threw him off
“due to weight difference” lol it’s because he doesn’t know how to shoot for a takedown. 2 sessions and he gets that easy every time
Damn bro I would love to learn wrestling! If it was offered by me at a reasonable price I’d be so down.
Most jiu-jitsu academics have started adding wrestling/takedowns into their lessons, and some even offer wrestling classes.
Okay so we just fall down on our back and yell “get in my guard bro!”, until they get into our guard. If they don’t get into our guard we say “don’t be a pussy bro! Lock hips with me bro!”. If that doesn’t get them into your guard proceed to make Portuguese noises and wildly swing your ankles in circles.
Gotta mash those combos.
Ankle pick>oil check>fish hook
Undefeated.
Due to his weight difference?? No it was due to his poor technique.
Miles was surprised to find out a grown man weighs considerably more than a woman
call dana white
Miles showing his fighting experience here, duck all the way to the height a 5’7 woman would throw a hook
Bridges calls this foreplay
Bridges was too high on Stewart’s hips making the double leg completion too difficult. If Stewart had grabbed just below the cheeks, the weight difference wouldn’t have mattered.
The duck was good. That double leg was trash. He was too high and didn’t step through.
Another reminder that Stewart couldve been an all pro running back if basketball didn’t work out for him
Same move he does on his girlfriend.
Stewart didn’t go down because of the weight difference, he didn’t go down because Bridges shot too high (want to be around the knees, not ass. Much weaker at the knee) and didn’t drive his feet at an angle across Stewart’s back, allowing Stewart to square up and get his feet back under him.
110% could’ve finished that takedown with proper technique.
What happened to all of the overpaid fat old cops who are always at the games armed to their teeth in a bullet proof vests waddling around the stadium to jump in and deescalate the situation?
He’s had practice with assault
People say Miles ran from that punch but he clear ducked that shit. Im impressed
Man I wish bridges got rocked
Bridges been practicing on his partner
Now this is old school nba fighting. The Bob and weave and then ducked the punch…. Classic
10-9 Stewart.
good wrap but he went too high.
remember, everyone is the same size from the knees down. except Derek Henry.
‘sTeWart haD him In A HeaDLock thouGH!’- some Pistons fan
he tried to lift him from his stomach. didn’t take a leg at all. what leg?
lol it’s a 25 pound weight difference they’re both considered heavyweights…. He didn’t go down bc the form sucked, not bc he was outweighed
Miles clearly took Wrestling classes in HS. That double was perfectly timed
Nah if he wrestled, for even a semester, he would have finished that easily; stew was completely in an exposed position. The timing was easy for miles because stew launched a wiiiiiiide hook that he telegraphed for days because he threw it like he was fuckin charging that shit up lol.
They don’t call him beef for nothing
We all know bridges a pos but that dodge and takedown attempt was solid can’t even lie
bridges practiced that move at home a lot
Stew had some nice head movement right at the beginning too. Dodged a little pawing jab from miles. Throwing a lead hook like you gotta charge it up in an anime wasn’t great. Nice entry by miles, got a decent angle to hip and then just completely bungled it. Could have gone for a eassssssyy body lock take down if he didn’t want to commit to the double leg, but ended up doing neither. Gotta make a stronger commitment there
Looks like Stew didn’t go down because he was behind braced and held from folks all around. Look like the domestic abuser would have taken him down, imo
Rolled the 3, changed levels, and shot a takedown.
It’s because Bridges fucked up the double leg and got stews waist instead. The point of a double leg is to get the knees and leverage them right? So he fucked it up. It wasn’t due to weight difference.
NBA x UFC in all star weekend please
what a weak punch. Miles had 10 seconds to duck it
lol the weight difference had nothing to do with it. It was a terrible double leg, I’m assuming he wasn’t trying to take him down and just get out of harms way until cavalry came.
Put this on r/MMA This is a real good fight analysis.
not low enough. If he went for his lower leg, he could drop him
He’s had plenty of practice with the women he beats.
Malice in the palace bought to you by Temu
I didn’t think Miles Bridges could fight grown men.
Beef stew could be in a room by himself and still get into a fight
I mean…Stewart threw that punch from yesterday. My five year old could have avoided it.
if you’ve never boxed, that punch would have knocked you into the future
Should let them fight. It’ll expose a lot of so called “tough guys” like Isiah Stewart.
What does any of this accomplish? Now they’ll be suspended for multiple games, costing their teams.
It was funny seeing Duncan Robinson standing there like “what the hell are these guys doing?” lol
He didn’t take him down because he didn’t drive through the legs. He pushed up the body.
Should have pulled guillotine
Dana White, sign them to the UFC right now!
Nope. He took him too high. Gotta get right around the knees. Solid dodge though
Way too high up in the middle of Stewart’s torso to take someone down by the legs lol you can tell he’s at least WATCHED the ufc
Lmao at a charlotte fan posting this title. Just had the to add Stewart didnt go down “because of the weight difference”.
We were so close to getting what we wanted to see. Swing away, Isaiah. When do the Pistons play the Warriors?
Came in too high. If he goes a little lower Stew’s new nickname would be “Roundheels”.
He didn’t get the double leg takedown due to poor execution, not because of the weight difference. He’s definitely strong enough.
He didnt aim low enough to take him down.
