He took Condit down a lot but so does everybody else. IIRC that fight was actually fairly close in the stand up but Rory was winning because of the takedowns, the problem with Condit being he's really good at getting back up but that just means he gets taken down a million times.

I really think that fight can be chalked up to experience, I think Rory had never had a guy who could take everything he gave him and just keep coming, and he broke eventually.

Rory was not winning because of takedowns. He would take Condit down and get punched in the face the entire time he was on top. By the third he was gassed and beat up and Condit whipped that rear end.

Realistically Rory wasn't winning at all, but on the cards he was winning because of takedowns.

I think that akira is the underdog, but +500 seems like a bit to me considering max holloways tdd is still suspect and he is going against a guy that should be able to take him down a couple times

If this was actually how fights were scored Condit probably would have beat Hendricks too.

Erm, the Siver vs. Rosa upcoming-fight-entry got dropped from the prelims page...?
I don't see anything on any of the Twitter accounts, but should I be concerned?

I mean, with two chechens and a polish guy, my girlfriend still has a healthy supplies of fighters to vitriously root against, so she's fine, but goddamnit, I need me some Siver!

Unexpected but a great idea to ask the famous trainer to give his comments instead of asking the Chechen to keep shouting how happy he is in nonsensical broken English.

Hardy is fine, the other guy is awful. They're both to muted in general. If I leave the audio on and don't watch the video it sounds like a brawl has broken out at a darts game.

Remember when Roger Huerta looked at the big screen to land elbows on a guy on his back and then disappeared from the planet until just now?

They are kind, generous people and want to see if they can make him relevant again.
