UFC FN 95: Cyborg vs. Lansberg

Trinaldo with his 7th win in a row. Easy win, too.

NOT Roy Nelson in R1 is my pick.

trinaldo is a very likeable character for brazilians, im happy for his win streak. hope he can fight some more quality fighters in his upcoming bouts

I don't get why spicely's win is being considered such a big upset? Never thought Thiago Santos was rated that highly.

damn big john let pezao take at least 4 unnecessary blows to the head. late stoppage.

Bigfoot looked good back on the juice. Too bad he left himself wide open for that uppercut, cuz he probably could've won a robbery decision in Brazil.

if the fight went on the way it was going, then you could call it a true robbery because rounds were going crystal clear in roy's favor

Barao clearly won, but he didn't look great, imo.

he's pretty much been figured out and it doesnt help that he seems to be fit for bantam weight, not feather weight

wtf was that kick???????????

he should be given a HUGE fine and hopefully a suspension, this isnt the fucking WWE the referee is untouchable.

Cris Cyborg, WMMA's version of Fedor Emelianenko.

Both built their legacy beating a ton of bums.

Did you ever see his weight cut? He is definitely not fit for BW. He looks like he's going to die trying to make weight and has passed out trying to make weight and had to be removed from the fight before. According to their coach Aldo and Barao are only a couple pounds apart back when Barao was fighting at BW, so I don't think its a weight thing.

Jason High was fired for pushing a referee, they should do the same thing here.

I agree though I'm worried UFC will use it as a reason to fire him.

Yea I remember that. I meant more like he seems undersized in featherweight. Last night not so much, but he looked "fat" or bulky while his opponent looked ripped. He probably isn't as good as we thought before. He ate a lot of jabs last night especially during the 1st round. I dunno if that is a slow reaction thing or maybe distance measuring problem. He got better during the fight eventually but the fight was kinda way too close imo for some fight involving a "monster" ('supposed to be a monster' like Nover's coach said) and a regular fighter who isn't even ranked. I just took a look and Barao isn't ranked too but he obv carries a lot of expectations.

Also took a look at the LHW ranking and damn. Once this was the most exciting division in the sport and now it's basically limited to 3 guys: jones, cormier and johnson.

Yea I never really bought into his hype that much. He's only really beat 4 quality opponents. Faber, MacDonald, Wineland & Pickett. Even then MacDonald and Wineland were giving him some decent trouble.

Also its a big adjustment from going from the biggest fighter in the division to an average sized fighter. I think McGregor will face similar problems if he decides to stay at LW.

Roy getting cut might be a good thing. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching most of his fights but its scary how much punishment hes taken to the head. These days all he's good for is being a punching bag for decent fighters or KOing the old out of prime corpses of prior legends. Maybe a step down in competition will save him from being a mouth drooler by his 40s.
