cosanostra Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Overeem (looking about the smallest and leanest I've ever seen him) knocks out JDS. Really nervous fight but I guess these guys only need one punch to knock each other out. They barely touched each other for the first round but that left hook from Overeem was a belter. Then there was RDA v Cerrone. Complete mismatch and really disappointing show from Cowboy. RDA looked confident, Cowboy looked terrified. RDA just walked over the top of him and Cowboy performed like a punch bag. Thought this had the makings of a great match up but that was poor. Awful from Cerrone. Both Diaz and RDA called out Conor. I guess they all know where the money is. Not a great event tbh and the crowd, especially those at the front looked very unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masonic Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 7 underdogs won in a row until the main event pretty sick and if anyone seen the walters fight it was one of the worst decisions i have ever seen all three of them judges should be under investigation imo he won at least 8 of the 10 rounds and the judges scored it two draws and 95-93 to the other guy when the inplay betting line was 1/200 on walters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref does have a duty to stop the guy on the ground getting hurt so I get why he stopped it. Just wasn't convinced that JDS wasn't recovering and defending himself. Blocked the first attempt at a strike and then started to move into a defensive position. Suppose the issue is that if he waited a few secs longer it could have meant JDS getting seriously hurt though. When I think back to Carwin Lesnar though it just shows that although the person on the bottom looks like they are toiling as long as they are protecting themselves and moving it doesn't necessarily need to be stopped as quick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezi4Nzhbm6E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockhold looked like a bigger, stronger and more athletic fighter IMO. Looked like a middleweight taking a doing from a light heavyweight. I wonder if Weidman would have any chance at Welterweight. Tough weight cut but apparently he only had to cut less than 10lbs for that last fight. I guess guys who can cut huge amounts of weight like Conor will have a huge advantage.

cosanostra Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Heard Weidman say in an interview that he only had 6lbs to cut 2 weeks before that last fight.

cosanostra Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 How about that for a main event??? That last round was absolutely mental. It could absolutely gone either way but I can see why they went with Lawler. He probably got more seriously damaging strikes despite the pure volume of attacks from Condit. I wouldn't say that it was the wrong decision exactly but it could easily have gone to Condit. Absolutely superb main event. Robbie is great value. Head like a brick and he loves to thrown down. A worthy champion. That's got to be Arlovski done as a title contender. He was well beaten. Miocic looked bigger, badder and more athletic. He's probably the number 1 contender after the Cain v Werdum rematch. Miocic is bound to fight the winner there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL couldn't get near him. I'm thinking that they maybe won 1 or 2 rounds each leaving either 3 or 1 rounds as draws. On balance of damaging blows rather than just volume of punches thrown, maybe RL took it. There was obviously no clear winner and it definitely could have gone the other way. I get the feeling that if CC had won, there would be a lot of people complaining the RL should have gotten the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought Condit fought a brilliant controlled fight other than the last round where i think he let ego come into it and tried to have a tear up which was the wrong move.Robbie himself thought he was beat going into that last round so had to go for the KO out of desperation.I also didnt think Condit was hurt anywhere near as bad as Rogan was making out in the com in the 2nd round i also dont think Robbie was that hurt in the 1st though.

Generic Username Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just caught up with last nights action. Surprised that Lawler got the decision but it did feel like Condit was throwing that volume of kicks/punches because he knew he didn't have the KO power to put Lawler down so was banking on points. Would be good to see them fight again though. And that last round - JINGS! Wonder if Miocic will get his title shot after screaming at Dana post fight.

It wasn't a robbery by any means. He hurt CC badly twice and CC hurt him badly once. Miocic to fight the winner of Werdum v Cain. I'm always a bit wary of heavyweight main events.

Sten Guns Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Lawler Condit. Not so sure the judges got it so wrong. Loads of volume from Condit, but in the main it was largely ineffective. For me, Lawler had the more damaging strikes and spent most of the time controlling the octagon. I suppose you could maybe argue Condit edged it, but if a Champion is to lose a belt then i think Condit needs to truly earn it. Perhaps you can say he didn't quite do enough to change the status quo at 170. Given how close it was, I think it's fair the belt stays with Robbie and a rematch is their next fight.
