    She clearly lost that fight and prances around the ring afterward likes she’s won it convincingly.

        For the second time in the prelims the commentators shout at Herb to stop the fight. Commentators shouldn’t be having an effect on the fight.. but Herb seems a bit off tonight

        Sounds like Herberts corner was pissed at the lack of protection for their fighter too

        Oh and Hardy and Herb have an argument after the fight

          Another great night of sport

          Dominant win from Wood
          Great finish from Boser
          Aspinall looked ready on his debut. Him v Hardy would be a good watch
          Great patience and finish from Ronson
          Trinaldo all class
          Chimaev was like the terminator. Relentless
          Great bottle and finish from Craig. Many would have buckled
          Werdum finishes Gustafsson's career
          War between Shogun and Little Nog. Two tough mother fuckers
          Till had a chance early to finish it but let it slip. Bobby Knuckles all class after that for the deserved win

            Brunson vs Shabazian

            Herb Dean needs some time off. I'll leave that there. Brunson a deserving winner and is on a 3 fight streak after switching gyms.

            Jennifer Maia vs Joanne Calderwood. "The perils of overwork are slight compared with the dangers of inactivity" - Thomas Edison. Except if you're Joanne Calderwood. Should have left our ass at home lol. What I assume she thought would be a tune-up fight(while she waited for Bullet to get over her injury) has turned into a title shot all but evaporating.

            If this card should be known for anything though its the number of low blows there were. Tons.

            On the prelims, Chris Gutiérrez vs Cody Durden. Durden clearly won the first. Then Gutiérrez won the last two. Refs call it a draw. I think that's a tough call on Gutierrez. He clearly won 2-1. How do you guys feel about Durden being given the draw based on a dominant first round?

            Bobby Green vs Lando Vannata was fight of the night.

              I’m happy with the first being called a 10-8. But if you’re judging the fight in it’s entirety it was not a draw. It’s a quirk of the scoring system

              I scored it 28-28 too

              The 10 point must system works better in boxing. Maybe because the larger number of rounds?

              Not sure what the solution is. Open scoring would help some fights but would also encourage fighters to sit on a lead

                            @MiketheSnow @raznomore predictions for Miocic v Cormier?

                            I think Miocic will get it done, he's the better fighter over five rounds. That first round and a half will be dangerous though

                            Miocic looks leaner than normal. Again I think there's room for a 225 division (Stipe came in at 233)

                            Cormier to wrestle more this time?


                            O'Malley v Vera should be a fun fight. I expect the O'Malley hype will keep growing

                            JDS v Rozenstruik. Looking forward to this one but I have no strong opinion. A coin toss.

                              @Duluth I don't really like Stipe. There's just something about him. He seems like a nice guy but there's just something there that makes me want DC to take his belt. I also expect Stipe to win though.

                              O'Malley is starting to believe his own hype or at least he's starting to play the hype game. Can't blame him for wanting to make up for lost time etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost because it's usually when someone starts beefing with more than one party(Vera and Garbrandt) that their focus may not be where it should be. But again I expect him to win.

                              JDS has always been one of my guys. I prefer fighters with strong boxing etc. I think this is a good match up stylistically. I just think maybe JDS is slowing down and Rozenstruik, although stopped quickly by Ngannou was on a 4 fight streak. JDS lost to Ngannou and Blades in the lead up to this and hadn't been as busy as Rozenstruik. Could work in JDS favour i guess. Being potentially fresher and better rested.
