That was a good fight

cub sorta had to go to the head when Stephens was hurt to the body, because Stephens kept his hands down and was just protecting his body which is why he ate a shitload of clean shots to the head in those flurries. Hes just tough

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
that was a great fight and good card overall, but I had to doublecheck to see that all the main card fights went to a decision after all the cool things in the prelims.

I don't think Cub is going to pose much of a threat against Aldo until the dreaded 4th & 5th round like every other featherweight against Aldo, but it will be nice for Cub to redeem himself after the first 8 second match between the two.

Yeah he'd have been hitting arms and elbows with all of your strikes. Punch or kick someone in the elbow and see how much you never want to do it again.

Critiquing a dude for hitting a body shot and following up by punching the dude in the head a bunch is silly

Cub has gotten cool and all but I hope Aldo double knee KOs him in 7 seconds

Correction I meant double knee KO in 6 seconds. I know Aldo can bring that time down

Yeah, I was being unfair. The first time Cub slammed Stephens's liver he followed with about 10 hard punches to the undefended brain area, and Stephens survived that. Obviously it's less a matter of Cub having the wrong strategy to finish Stephens, and more Stephens being really hard to finish no matter what he did. It's just that sometimes it seems like there are guys with iron-plated chins who just absorb head shots all night but show considerably less resistance to body shots, like it appears Matt Brown's face can take a zillion punches without effect but he's stunned by hard body shots in every other fight.

Is this the extent of Cub's ceiling? Just the latter rounds of a championship fight against Aldo? What about a possible matchup with Edgar or even Mendes? Since injuries are a thing.

There was a lot about the main event that reminded why I got so excited about mma back in the day. Good stuff. I really like Swanson, I don't think I've given him enough credit in the past.

Huh. What's funny is that I made a bad unit of measure joke in the OP without even considering KG which makes much more sense.
