That was painful. I was actually looking forward to the main event, and that was such a bust!
Anytime Holly charged in, GDR countered her. And the fights I can't stand to watch the most are the fights
like last night when Holly gets GDR against the cage, and just pins her there with not much action
going on. Yeah, there's some knees going on, but for the most part nothing much is happening. Yeah, I get
trying to zap your opponent's energy, but for 5 rounds? Forget about it! And that sound Holly makes before
she throws a punch or kick is annoying.
The 3 guys calling the fight didn't work at all. Don't think Cormier needs to be there. And it seems the only
thing Anik was there for was to say "coming up next month is...." or "opening this Friday is the movie.....".
I laughed when Silva was called the winner. I'm glad he won, but he didn't win that fight. And Brunson was fighting
so tentative. Its like he was intimidated by the mystique and legend of Anderson.
The only fight on the entire card that was worth a damn was the Miller/Porier fight. Other than that, I am glad
I had some money in my Paypal account. I ended up paying I think 9 bucks for it.
Can't wait for 209!!
Oh yeah, did you see the prelims & the one fighter call out for a Mayweather fight? That was the best part of the night.
Reading on other mma sites- a lot of comments that GDR is a dirty fighter. I truly believe she is not, but those were the only times there was any separation betweenburt1098 wrote:yeahbuddy wrote:Anyone watch 208 last night?

Perfectly said. Only want to add the two after the bell strikes in the Holm fight. That ref should be wiping homeless ass in the subway for eternity.
P.s. Cyborg is gonna murder that broad inside of 2 minutes.

HH came to fight. GDR came to counter strike. Did she initiate anything? Everything she did was a counter attack. GDR should have been decucted points two rounds in a row. Joke refs, and judges at this event. Me and my friends were shocked when GDR said she came to brawl. No, she really didn't.yeahbuddy wrote:Reading on other mma sites- a lot of comments that GDR is a dirty fighter.

the two, and she unloaded out of instinct & frustration. Of course its not right or legal to do that, but as she said in her post fight interview she came to brawl, and HH did not.

The counterstrikes worked out really well for he. But she didn't come to brawl.yeahbuddy wrote:Came to counterstrike?pieceofme wrote:HH came to fight. GDR came to counter strike.

Once she figured out HH's weak game plan, that's all she had to do. Look at the one side of HH's face, and that tells you how successful her counter striking was. And pinning your opponent against the cage & doing absolutely nothing isn't much of anything either. She kept trying to get the take down round after round, and it never happened. When does a fight finally give up on something that isn't working? GDR got the best of the exchanges with knees against the cage.
Points being deducted- yeah, but it didn't happen. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Many are saying NY refs shouldn't ref the championship fights because of the mma ban, they have no experience doing so. I don't know much about that. Maybe somebody here can elaborate on that.
I'm with you on Bisping. When I read the comments on mma sites so many people bang on him & say he is ducking Romero etc etc etc. He has fought anyone & everyone thepieceofme wrote:Bisping vs. St.Pierre is official!
Really happy for Bisping. He's been a company man for years, and paid his dues. He beats Luke Rockhold which no one expected. Hell, even his son reckoned Rockhold would win!
And he's not getting any younger. I can't blame him for waiting for this fight.
This weekends card looks really good. Unfortunately, I think Woodley will win.
I guess we can thank Conner and/or the new owners for that. He picks and chooses his fights and for whatever reason Woodley and Bisping feel they can do the same. I absolutely loathe all 3 but at least Connor generates money so I see why he gets to call some of the shots.yeahbuddy wrote: I can't stand Woodley. The guy has to be the biggest cry baby, poor sport champion the UFC has ever had.

You are so right about the Welterweight division.pieceofme wrote:Well, lets all hope there is not a Woodley vs. Wonderboy 3!
Who gets the title shot in Welterweight now? Surely it should be Maia. But he's booked to fight Masvidal!
Really, it should have been Woodley vs. Maia for the title. And Wonderboy vs. Masvidal!
Welterweight looking not so great anymore.
Woodley is a chump.
Rory left UFC.
Lawler went through some wars, but got destroyed by Woodley in that first round.
Hendricks gone up a division.
Carlos Condt might be retiring.
