My brother is pretty much the definition of "casual fan"; he likes fights but he pretty much only watches them when I call him up and say "Yo, I'm getting a ppv tonight, c'mon over". Last week he said out of the blue "Yo, are you getting the ppv next week?" "Yeah, of course." "I heard there's two heavyweight fights on it. Might have to come over for that."

david carmichael posted:are there a lot of people who pre-buy ppvs, or is meltzer just looking into a crystal ball and not seeing joe soto and making wild claims iirc when he talks about potential buys he's mostly looking at google search trends, which have a somewhat mixed record in terms of predictive value

Dangersim posted:That fight was good right because everyone in IRC is acting like it was horrifically lovely and embarassing and I'm confused. I don't think anybody called it a bad fight, people were just laughing at how sloppy it got because they were featherweights that gassed like heavyweights

Submission attempts that come close are actually supposed to be scored; it's just that they don't get scored more favorably than the repeated punches and elbows Hobar landed from the top of the guard, and they definitely don't get scored more favorably than multiple knockdowns

Pretty Lady Blob posted:Threatening with submission attempts is considered a part of fight area (octogon) control in the unified rules. No it isn't, it's considered part of effective grappling.

Hendricks won 2 and 3 pretty clearly, Lawler won 4 and 5 pretty clearly. 1 was the only round difficult to score, and I had it for Lawler.

Surfing Turtle posted:The stall tactic was dumb on Hendricks part. I thought he was just going to leg kick Lawler till his right leg was linguini. Lawler had no answer for the kicks. It was very impressive how much he'd incorporated leg kicks into his game. Unfortunately for him they pretty much vanished after round 3.

CommonShore posted:I saw round 1 and 4 as tossups and 5 as clearly lawler. I think the early aggression outweighed the takedown in round 1, and that the judges didn't count wall stalling as "effective grappling" in round 4, as it caused no effect, and Hendricks was using it as more of a defensive tactic rather than an aggressive tactic, and that the unified rules clearly state that defense doesn't count as a criteria for awarding the round. Wall-stalling isn't effective grappling by any definition. 49-46 is a terrible score, no argument there.

Ty1990 posted:I'm getting nothing at the moment. Any cliff notes of Hendricks' bitching would be appreciated until then. He's being pretty classy, actually. "I thought I did pretty good in the first three rounds, kinda fell of in round 4, but you can't take nothing away from Robbie." "Nothing I can do but do what he did, put some wins together and come back at that belt"

"I just didn't fight. I just came out in the 4th and 5th round and I just didn't fight. I'm my own worst critic; I don't need you guys to tell me I looked like poo poo. I didn't stay light on my feet, I wasn't there in the moment... I'm gonna work on things, and I'll be back." "I'm not gonna make any excuses, I'm not gonna take anything away from Robbie Lawler. He did his job. I just thought I won... I tried to knock him out, but that guy's got a jaw. I've got a jaw, and when that happens you kinda have to leave it to the judges..."
