The second fight was really goddamn close until those body shots. My theory is that Stipe absolutely did drill them and planned them, but purposefully didn't throw them early. He waited till DC was a little tired before he started throwing them, reasoning that it would be much harder for DC to adapt later in the fight.

having to pretend that Bethe was actually a threat to Ronda is one of the greatest feats the UFC's marketing team has ever pulled off. We also got resting Bethe face out of it. Truly, a generous fighter.

angela magana's ability to live in thailand, apparently learning muay thai and come out of it without the slightest idea of how to throw a punch or kick is truly inspiring.

chaleski posted:Speaking of cuts, the guy who begged his coach to stop the fight got cut as well, which is kinda surprising. They usually give short notice guys at least one second chance, and he was doing well before he gassed out iirc. wow, that sure will promote a healthy approach to stoppages from other fighters and coaches. I remember getting in an argument with someone who thought it was really good that JDS's corner didn't stop either of the latter cain fights, because he can hold his head up and have honour. I would think that it was more important to be able to remember your kids names but i'm weird.

CarlCX posted:Off the top of my head, recently: In one of the earlyish bellators, when they were doing tournaments, there was a stoppage on a choke that was in no way in and the guy was in no way out. I don't remember the names, but it was the top seed against the bottom seed, which made it especially dodgy. The interesting thing about these is that two of the three were rectified in some way. There is no rectification possible for someone eating a bajillion unnecessary punches. I'd always prefer refs to err on the side of caution.

BlindSite posted:I wish condit would just retire. Hes 36 and is on a 5 fight skid. Dudes been in some absolute wars too. That's not a terrible comparison. Kevin Lee is really loving strong and quick, has high level wrestling, punches and kicks real hard and when he puts it together, it's something else, but he's just so much less than the sum of his parts.

Brut posted:Yan came up through ACB (now ACA) with 1 split decision loss to Magomed Magomedov that he avenged, and he had 5 wins in UFC before fighting Faber, including 2 on PPV cards. That's what i figured. I wasn't having a go at Yan, just showing how many fighters, even good ones, completely slip under my radar these days.

Kamaka/Kelley was absolutely loving dope and a FOTY contender and i had to google both guys' names. FishBowlRobot posted:Henry Cejudo turned his natural unlikability into an endearing quality. He became way more endearing by retiring and loving off.
