id say thats just a genetic limitation like like arm reach. if you bleed easy, well, you have to try a little harder to not get punched in the face a lot

I had a pretty set "Dustin's just an average gatekeeper who can't beat any one truly good" thing in my mind.

It's gone now.

I think scoring the entire fight a draw would be reasonable, but 49-46 only makes sense to me if they scored at least one round a 10-10. That first round really felt like a 10-8

The eye test is useless and there were multiple big reeling moments from Poirier.

No, that would not be reasonable.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



I was a little surprised it was 49-46 across the board just because round 3 was so close I would have bet at least one judge would differ on it, but it is a perfectly fine score. Both those dudes are cool guys and I am happy for Dustin and glad Max was so cool and gracious and still a champion at AIDSweight

What im saying is round 1 should have been a 10-8.

Round 1 10-8, round 3 9-10. Those scores are ones that i feel are definitive, every other round i could see arguments for 10-9, 10-10, and even one 9-10. Im just saying i can see how khabib could think it was a draw even with round 1 being a 10-8.

I dont think its unreasonable that poirier won, but there were some very close rounds. And some not very close rounds

i agree with r1 potentially being 10-8. i thought poirier clearly won 2 and 5 as well, 3/4 were close with me leaning towards holloway in one and poirier in one

jakes did this?
probably the best two back to back five rounders in UFC history, at least since 189

e: actually was McGregor/Mendes scheduled as a five rounder? I can't remember

I really wanted to give Holloway round 4 but then that knee happened. I still kinda felt like he was outlanding Poirer that round, but when it's close and the other guy lands a giant strike that turns your forehead into a blood fountain.....

I had it 49-45 (10-8 first round, round 3 for Holloway).

Agree - I also thought it had the potential to be a draw even though judged as a fight Poirier won. It just depended on how judges saw the few rounds that the majority was max landing and backing up Dustin but then getting hit by a bomb and messed up for like 1m15s

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

I think Max could still be a terror at 155 if he moved up permanently and filled out. His work rate and his chin are absolutely insane.

Flankensttein: A name given to a FPS gamer who constantly flanks to get kills.

"So I was playing COD yesterday, and some flankenstein came up from behind and shot me."
It seems like since the ESPN stuff started the fights have gotten a lot more fun even though nothing has really changed for the fighters.
