The disaster wasnt that the fight was 30 seconds. the disaster was the decision to air only that fight, and none of the undercard. Fox had Cops on before the fight, they couldnt bump that and go live for 2 hours and show 3 fights? GMAB

 

And Fox, spare me the explanation of what MMA fighting is

over 30 minutes of hype and just over a minute of a fight. I think it was a failure for FOX/UFC in trying to get casual fans.

 

 

I just dont understand when fighters dont fight to their strengths. If Cain gets KOed because he cant get the TD or gets KOed while fighting for the TD then fine. But to just stand there and not attempt to get the fight to the ground against the most dangerous striker in the heavyweight division is just stupid.

 

 

I was too slow on pulling the trigger on JDS today. I saw him around +140 earlier and was hoping it would climb closer to fight time. But of course my plan backfired and I only got him at +105.

I have a strong feeling that GSP is going to do the same against Diaz. He's going to think he's pacquiao just because he trained with Roach.

I dont think so. Once GSP gets tagged a couple of times, he will fight scared and take Diaz down and hold him there for 25 minutes.

 

 

 

Matt Serra made GSP into a real boring and safe fighter. I'm not saying GSP should fight stupid but there is a reason why the only person he's stopped in 3 years is Penn and Penn is much smaller than GSP. And really, that fight would have gone the distance if Penn's brother didnt throw in the towel.

I've never heard that before. Regardless, what you said was misleading to the average fan, as you didn't specify which it was and the term is much more commonly associated with a kick. If this were a boxing match you would be well understood instead of vague and confusing regarding the type of strike thrown. Part of me wonders if you are just hoping for a response like mine so you have a chance to be a smart ass in a vain effort to sound knowledgable. Alternatively, perhaps you were just offended about being misunderstood. I'm not sure which is the case but you may want to focus on being clearer in the future.

Get over yourself, I could care less what you think. I said what happened and you want to get all terminology nazi on me. Grow up

Shouldn't the "greatest fight in UFC history" not have almost three full rounds of both fighters being absolutely gassed?

 

 

 

 

Who cares if both fighters were gassed in the last 2 rounds. That is what happens when a fighter goes all out for a stoppage and the other guy survives. And even after they gassed, Shogun was nailing Henderson with some big shots and mounted Henderson 4 times. It was exciting. Pick out a better UFC match.

 

 

 

 

 

Only bad thing about that fight was how the judges didnt give Henderson a 10-8 in the third and Shogun a 10-8 in the 5th. Instead of 48-47 it should have been 47-46.

I'm not denying that it was an awesome fight. It was. I'm basically arguing semantics. I heard a few people last night saying that it is the best fight ever. I'm not a huge MMA fan, but I'm sure there had to be fights where it went 5 rounds with each fighter on top of his game, striking and countering, landing shots and breaking holds. I would think that a fight like that would be a "better" fight.

Did anyone else think that Cain looked much less cut last night than he did vs Brock? The first thing I thought when i saw him take his shirt off was "He looks kind of doughey"
I thought the same exact thing. I also saw tentativeness even fear in his eyes. Dos Santos OTOH looked loaded for bear.
