WHO ABUSED HIM. WHO ABUSED THE BOY.

Not a great decision but you cant complain that much when you have the guy hurt and then continue running away and looking panicked
Yeah between Lineker holding the center for basically 98% of the fight and his frequent HIT ME MORE theatrics he captured that elusive x-factor of making the judges like one guy slightly more. Great fight though, inexplicable that it got more boos than the absolute diarrhea garbagefest that immediately preceded it

A true renaissance man



Lineker vs Dodson really deserved Fight of the Night. That fight loving owned and as it was on whether or not to nominate it for fight of the year.

Bet you Dodson got a fat locker room check. They didn't make it FOTN because they didn't want to reward Lineker for being a fat gently caress.

WEC Never Die
Being in the crowd, the main event seemed lackluster after some kicking rad prelims and stuff.

I am going to go back and watch it live and see how the exchanges might be different, but in watching it live from the stands it didnt seem like Dodson was taking much damage, but also didnt seem like he was landing much of his own.

Also, by the end of the night people in the crowd were calling fighters pussies for taking time out for groin strikes. It was pretty crazy.

My seats were right next to the area where all the fighters entered the arena so it was interesting seeing each fighter's demeanor as they walked to the cage. Moreno was SUPER stoked to be there. Cowboy was all dancey and was super stoked that a Brazilian was there and gave him a flag. I particularly like when he danced somewhat provocatively at a female security guard and she rolled her eyes at him.

It was the complete opposite. They beat the poo poo out of each other.

If true, that loving sucks. What with Reebok being awful and that on top, fighters would be losing a lot of money overall.

i saw very few of lineker's landing anything like clean and dodson winning basically every exchange as well as landing one head kick a round that would drop a rhinoceros but somehow could not drop a brazillian midget

Lineker landed a ton to the body and was catching Dodson up top as he exited with hooks the whole fight.

tbh I thought Dodson outlanded Lineker very clearly in 1-3, but every time there was a flurry the entire thing was so ludicrously fast I can't imagine being a judge and trying to figure out which guy got the better of it while watching upwards through a cage

100% agree. also kind of backs up what the guy who watched it live said, and why there was a lot of boos. it would have looked like running running running SOMETHING running running. poo poo it looked like that to some people who were watching it on a television.

Nah Dangersim is the other one. Not because he's pedantic though but because we both use English to create a dialogue that is in no way comprehensible.

The problem is Dodson seemed to use the fence to avoid strikes and spring himself out of trouble or was losing balance backing into it while avoiding shots and it made him look like he was getting hit a lot of the time.

It is one thing to say you couldn't tell who was getting the better of the exchanges which is fine because they were crazy and fast. It is completely different and baffling to say Lineker didn't land anything clean.

spot on. and like fd said i would not expect all the judges to get a good gauge on what was happening looking up and through a cage. i disagree with the decision pretty fiercely, but the more i think about it the more justifiable the decision seems in retrospect.
