UFC FN 103: Rodriguez vs. Penn - Page 2

I just notice these hall-of-famers "give up" during fights where expectations are not met, and it never is, ever. Maybe if BJ hung around like Bisping did, you need to be aware of where you are as a fighter and actually be active to what's being used by people. Lawler did not have the success BJ had in the UFC, which for me signifies he really didn't "make it" yet, the hunger was always there.

My prediction will be first round Penn gives up and gets TKO'ed in the second if he's not disposed of in the first. First thing that goes wrong the only thing in BJ's head was "this is a stupid idea, oh well i get paid". We've seen it time and time again. You're just really wishing for a gimme KO if you bet on Penn

I even dare say the same will happen to GSP if he fights the real top 3 which will always be the case if he comes back, but moreso for Penn

Great fight between Frankie Saenz and Augusto Mendes.

2 grapplers put on a fun striking battle. Both got hurt, and both came back.

Nice fight.
My only bet: Lauzon + Pantera

Yeah, that was fucked up. Had a feeling that might happen, but I gave Court McGee the win.

wow. Joe Lauzon won the fight via split-decision and even said Held won the fight in his post-fight interview!

Nobody has ever done that before.

Judges aren't rewarding the wrestlefuck like they used to. Joe took ZERO damage that fight. Held is a boring ass fighter and i wouldn't mind him getting cut. Glad they gave Joe the decision.

Judges seem to have different ideas of how to score fights after the changes this year....

New MMA rules took effect on January 1, 2017. They reward damage over controlling someone without doing any damage.

That being said, Lauzon won R1, but clearly lost R2 & R3 cuz he didn't do any damage and he wasn't the one controlling the rounds. I picked Lauzon to win, but I'm very surprised he got the nod.
