stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
every single on-paper fact about tibau is remarkable and somehow he is absolutely unremarkable which in itself is also remarkable.

i've been arguing for tibau being better than he used to be about 3 fights ago. he had a noticeable all-round improvement but especially his gas tank. he's actually got 2.5 rounds in him nowadays.

I definitely didnt know that because i cant remember any of tibaus specific fights for the past couple years even if you had a gun to my head

That stoppage is a good example of why you usually need a little bit of BJJ knowledge to be a ref, no ones finishing an RNC at that angle, just because he looked uncomfortable doesnt mean he was passed out, trujillo made an angle out of the choke

probably a bad idea to close your eyes in that situation but the ref didn't do a whole lot of checking.

I don't know, putting your hand up like your going to tap then closing your eyes and putting both your hands on the mat sends some mixed messages to the ref. He should have checked the arm though.

yeah, its not in the top 10 of the absolute worst ref failures in UFC history, but it is pretty bad. I think you really have to grab an arm and make sure its limp before you stop it

Also, Tibau was going to win that fight, so its not a travesty.

i've got a tenner on fabio to win this fight because he is way more of an underdog than i think he should be. with that said i can't wait to be proven hilariously wrong as corey just sits on a completely helpless guy who's probably still rocking an arnold flattop in 2015

corey's a good, young prospect with a really good team (frank edgar's) who showed his inexperience (7 pro fights) against gian villante. he has excellent conditioning and good handspeed. he's someone to watch.

As someone who has mostly enjoyed Glover's UFC fights, I agree, but I actually think Durkins could finish Glover instead of riding him out for 3 rounds.
