We'll see a fat bearded balding man throw and fail to land a straight left for five minutes while dodging flashy slappy kicks and then we'll see said baldy fatty put his head in his crotch for 10 mins.

Wonderboy got cracked a few times in the process of beating Ellenberger, and he wound up surviving and winning in part due to improvements in his grappling game, of all things. I don't expect Hendricks to stop him early on, but I wouldn't be shocked. He's a southpaw like Ellenberger, but probably significantly better at everything. In particular Thompson fights with his hands at his waist, so if Hendricks still has the deceptive quickness and ability to close range with an overhand left from the days when he was KOing everybody, that could make for a short fight.

Wonderboy will make deer sounds and lull Hendricks into a false sense of security.

No.

I'd be fine with Overeem fighting for the title. A 3rd fight with Werdum would be real interesting, and Cain would probably beat the poo poo out of Overeem but that's the exact kind of fight he & UFC are going to want after he narrowly gets by Werdum, if he does.

The scoring should be based around who has more overall effective striking. So a clean low kick can't be "scored" in a vacuum vs a clean jab without context

what do you want? a mathematical formula? rounds are already scored ambiguously. you've provided no reason at all why the way rounds should be scored should change, except that one time a guy kicked you in the leg and you fell down.

do you want a loving stamina bar ' oh yeah joe that took a lot of stamina away better score that leg kick' or do you just want to concede a good, clean strike? i think my way's easier but come up with your own formula if you feel like it

i don't have to 'come up' with anything, i think the current system is fine. i disagree with you on principle because a good clean head strike a; going to, on a blow-by-blow basis, probably affect your ability to fight more than a leg kick and b; far more likely to end a fight than a leg kick.

Some of those shots Lawler was landing would have killed lesser men :stare:

So if Woodley gets the next shot at Lawler, and if Condit doesn't retire and decides to make one more run(:pray:), who fights Condit? A rematch with Rory?

I don't want to see them put each other on two fight skids... Condit vs. Maia and Rory vs. Hendricks/Wonderboy winner if Woodley gets the shot.
