And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
c'mon guys lets work

im just getting around to watching the card now. im impressed by colby's workrate but i think he has absolutely nothing for tyron

he's got cardio, and woodley doesn't. if he can keep grinding woodley against the cage and doesn't eat any big shots he can prob wear him out enough to win a few rounds

There's no way the 5th round was 10-8, especially with the two blatant elbows to the back of Whittaker's head and a whole bunch of clinching against the cage with nothing happening.

Yeah I dunno what the gently caress Joe was talking about 10-8 and 10-7 rounds. He was incredibly annoying last night. His call during RDA/Covington was insane; he also seemed to think Covington/RDA was a blowout instead of tied in going into the fifth. He and Sal D'Amato should hang out

He probably could have. Sometimes guys get cautious when they have their opponent in trouble. I wouldnt be surprised if he had no idea what to do on the ground either. He was never going to fight in the UFC again anyways.

Well the problem I had is that with him sandbagging someone with just a little more ability could have taken advantage. How emabrassing for him and the ufc if he lost due to his wanting to be on tv longer.

The UFC would have been happy to see him lose, and it really couldnt have gotten any more embarrassing for them than putting CM Punk on the main card.

well, i suppose if he was a better fighter it could have led to serious consequences. which is probably why mister white isnt happy about it either (i didnt listen ot or read about or watch anything he said) but when it comes down to it the ufc is responsible for making it happen in the first place

you don't lose points for elbowing the back of the head unless the ref says so. so in fact elbowing the back of the head is, in most cases, good.

He's not wrong - Jackson did look like a complete loving idiot. He probably thought he looked amazing stylin' on his opponent but his opponent was an amateur fighter with no hope in the first place so it just made him look like he couldn't finish someone that in mid fight was trying to finish himself. In a whole fight that was sad at least CM Punk was trying even if it was hopeless for him so Jackson was the saddest part. He's just a lazy dumbass.

Edit: Hopefully neither of them ever fight again it was tough to watch and not in an entertaining way

If Colby pressures him the way he pressured RDA and Maia, he's going to get lit up, just like he did against RDA and, well, Maia. Except by someone who demonstrably hits a lot harder.

I'm very mad at RDA for forcing us to give a poo poo about Colby's 'fights' for a bit longer.

I've seen a lot of styling and showboating, but until that fight, I had never seen someone not even look at his opponent while GNPing them.

And by "GNPing", I mean doing absolutely nothing that had the potential to end the fight.
