My Thoughts About the Card

First off wow, I dont knwo waht it was but this didint feel like a big time event for shit, the bar i go to was fucking empty, only time it has been more empty was the WEC card

Crowd went crazy for Chuck and then shut the fuck up

Berry vs Cro Cop was the most intrigueing matchup and was a fun fight, Berry controlled early but got sloppy as hell for that sub, was it jsut me or is Cro Cop completely done throwing high head kicks and only a stand up, low kick/body kick fighter know/??

I loved seeing Danzig get Bellator'd only it was a worse stoppage from Bellator, lets see Dana sweep that one nder the rug

Holy shit did Paulo Thiago get owned or what !?!?!?!?!

Condit vs Rory was very fun i picker Condit but found myself rooting for McDonald, still think it was a shitty stoppage

Ohhh Chuck, man, I picked Franklin but didnt see it happening like that, although i am not shocked at all that he landed a elbow and bum rushed into KO Land,. just didnt expect it in the 1st but ya pretty safe to say the jury is out on Chuck and he isnt half the fighter he was even 3 years ago

Fun entertaining fights but seemed like a letdown

I was pretty sore that I missed it and had to watch spoiler quality fight vids and couldn't see the CC fight until 4 am but after watching the comain and main on a real ppv rip both fights were pretty entertaining. Actually I watched the main event at half speed and it was a very cool, tense edge of the seat feeling as you could see all the power chuck was throwing and how open he was leaving himself much more distinctly. Sucky ass ending though.

Crocop beat that ass besides the two punches he took early. That was an awesome fight.

I dont know about u guys but the whole Chuck fight I just had it in my mind as soon as Ace lands its all over and it was! Chuck had a nice run but he is done! The biggest Chuck supporters cant justify him fighting anymore in my opion. Some1 is gonna seriously hurt him!

No Chuck is done. I don't think Dana would let him fight anymore even if he wanted to

What made you change sides? Rory got worked that whole fight. Was it the pointless takedowns that resulted in no damage?.. The stoppage prevented a complete highway robbery from possibly happening.

I am tired of hearing stuff like .. "yeah he rocked him.. but "so-and-so" got 2 takedowns and controlled a good portion of that round."

Takedowns should be scored on the effectiveness/damage inflicted as a result from the TD

That split on his lip is f'n nasty! Way to go Rich! Makin Ohio proud!

Different story for at my bar, almost everyone was rooting for Rich to win that fight. The place erupted when Chuck got KO'd lol

Oh, and Golbez, dont mind if I steal that gif for a bit lol

I wanted chuck to win but early I could see that probably wasnt going to happen. his may have the biggest glass jaw now I have ever seen!! Either that or the worst defense I have ever seen.

+1 I couldn't have said it any better.

Did anyone else think Herb Dean was slow on this stoppage?

I dont think he expected someone like Rich to continue throwing like that lol Herb just stood and watched, expecting Rich to stop lol.

Roroy won rounds 1 and 2 reguardless of the talkedowns imo, he dictated, controlled, and was countering Condit

I disagree with round 2. That round could have gone either way IMO, and with how badly Rory got dominated in Round 3, he really didnt deserve to win regardless.

agree, Herb wasnt expecting RIch to drop to sidemount, secure one of Liddells unconscious arms and land some "for good" shots

sorry guys disagree, i dont think cause you dominate 1 round means you get the win

Rory had rds 1 and 2, not sure how you can deny that, after rewatching the fight they could have let it go another 7 seconds, where Rory would have gotten the decision or a draw if they were willing to score the 3rd 10-8 Condit. Condit get the win based on inflicted damage late so can't complain to much.

completely agree LA

IMO that fight would have been a draw that was a definite 10-8 round even though Rory had a big head kick

Condit should have won the fight regardless of the stoppage. Rory didn't do dick on the ground after those takedowns. Literally didn't land a single strike after the first 3 of them. He just got held in guard and hit from the bottom. That doesn't mean shit in my book

But it does in MMA

Any way you look at it, the 1st and 2nd went to Rory

He was winning the striking through 2 aswell

The better fighter won so i can't complain.

Not so much on the other side of the pond. That fight wouldnt have been even close in Japan. (BUT it wasnt IN Japan.. I know.) Rory won the first rounds of a fight by meaningless takedowns, Carlos won a fight.

What makes you guys dislike Condit? The dude puts up good fights every time he steps out there. One thing I will say, is that in this judging system Greg Jackson needs to stick his ass in there with GSP and have him get some TDD... But can you blame him for feeling comfortable down there?
