Clay Guida is probably having a blast watching this

Lol.

I remember when Demian Maia was a unanimous fan favorite...the boo birds out again. Make that the third time. Vs. Miller, Vs. Miranda, Vs. Santiago.

Jacare vs. Maia

Through the facebook and spike portions of the card, this blows pretty hard


Does Jorge get another fight?

Don't think so...he could have stayed with a loss but he was incredibly passive in a fight that was boring and while he was losing. A big no no.

Shit is about to get real!!!

<---------was right about Melvin Guillard

Was I the only one who picked Joe in pick em?

I am a fan of aldo, but he is by far the most beatable champion. He should stay at 145 and pray Frankie never drops.

Great finish by frankie. Guy is a survivor, he refuses to be ko'd.

2 of the judges didn't even give Gray a 10-8 first. He wasn't winning that fight without some serious dramatics

phan didn't get a 10-8 for the second round against garcia either.

that would certainly have been stopped if it were a boxing match as garcia was just staggering around taking hard, unanswered shot after hard, unanswered shot. even though i can't remember an MMA fighter being stopped whilst still on his feet before i was wondering why the ref hadn't stepped in, that didn't look much like intelligent defence to me.

if you watch the first round of Edgar vs Maynard again it actually looks like a 10-9 round, Edgar landed a bunch of shots at the beginning of that round and he didnt get rocked until the 3 minute mark or so.

i'd tend to agree, it was nip and tuck until edgar got tagged.

that said, he did take a good hiding over the remainder of the round so i wouldn't have argued too vociferously with a 10-8.

im ok with it either way

It was clearly a 10-8. Just like the first round in January should've been 10-7

After rewatching it I don't think it should have been a 10-8 first round this time. Gray hurt Frankie but he didn't actually go down until like 90 seconds later and he landed some decent shots during that time. Namely a straight right that made Gray pause. Gray won the round for sure but he only got one knockdown in that whole thing. Landing three big strikes in a round doesn't make it 10-8, especially when the guy is fighting back and lands his own good strikes.
