UFC 215: Johnson vs. Borg

so the ref bet "fight goes the distance" ok...

Tucker got FUCKED UP!

I'm at a party so I'm afk tonight. My teams are dead too.

damn all my first picks should've won and i changed it yesterday ugh
no worse feeling than not listening to yourself and paying for it lol

Thats bullshit, Valentina won that fight

I feel the same, but it doesnt feel like a real robbery...

I didn't pay enough attention to judge but it was very close according to mma decisions

I missed the last 7 fights, but I'm glad Nunes won.

Shevchenko will drop to 125 and fight for the title in 2018.

it doesnt feel like a robbery because Valentina didnt hurt Nunes, but it was a clear cut win, Nunes just landed like 3 jabs and weak kicks and when she took her down Valentina landed from the bottom many hard punches and Nunes didnt land a single one.

Fuck these judges, Valentina will murder the 125 division.

I thought Amanda Nunes dominated that fight and won all 5 rounds. 50-45.
Watched it with GF, we both felt that way. We were shocked, to hear it was a split decision.

RDA was -195 and honneslty in my mind it was a close fight. But RDA made it look easy.

I think UFC has proven us time and time again that raw talent > size. Maybe this can teach us a lesson on what will happen in GSP vs Bisping. GSP arguably best WW of all time, and Bisping had trouble against a 45yo Hendo.

Bisping's game isn't based at all around size though and I'd almost throw out a Hendo matchup in comparison. The size could factor into helping him fend off GSP's takedowns though. I can see the match just playing out almost entirely on the feet where it's going to be GSP's jab heavy game vs Bisping's technical boxing/kickboxing with Bisping having to adjust to someone a good bit faster than him for once

Lost a good bit on Valentina. Pretty bitter about the judges. The fight and belt swinging on that 'takedown' in round 5 is everything that's wrong with MMA judging in my opinion. All Amanda did that last round was push forward slowly and get countered until she almost accidentally reversed a takedown, took the back though doing nothing with it and then got Valentina down only to lay around to get punched in the face some more. But because she was on top, she gets the round. Archaic judging. One day, judges will be able to remember the 3 other minutes of a round even if a takedown happens, will properly give credit to strikes landed from the bottom, and will not overly give credit for a takedown that serves no purpose besides to kill time. One day

Just saw the ME, I'd say it was a pretty clear 4-1. Might be 3-2 too, I could see round 5 going to Schevchenko... Nunes did take her down and took her back but did 0 damage, while Shevchenko actually hit her quite a lot and damage> control so...

medias scored all over the place, cant blame the judges
lame fight

I gave nunez the 1st and the other 4 to valentina

Control should be heavily valued. You can't control somebody stronger than you.

It's like, can an ant control a lion? No.
Can a lion control an ant? Yes.

To have control, you by definition have to be stronger. I thought Amanda Nunes controlled the whole fight, so she by definition wasn't weaker than the challenger.

The challenger wasn't able to break her control. Retaining her the win and title. Pretty simple to me.
