Hmmm....... I dunno about that stoppage. Those punches were on the arms and Yamasaki was yelling for Olivera to do something but what did he want? for Olivera to take his arms away from his face?

Disappointing!

Great win by Cowboy!!!

SDTimeout

It's defending but not active defending. They might not have landed behind the arms but he wasn't doing anything to get out of the situation where they would be hitting his arms.

sonic85

good win there for cerrone

DeVore

When he rolled over I think it was obviously over... Olivera should have thrown an up-kick or two, just to threaten.

I'm no lip-reader, but I think "Cowboy" said, "Nice fight, Charles" on that particular replay.

Well there goes the bet, could be time for bed.

Yeah but he was standing over him. What could he have done? there's not much!

I thought his rolling over was in reaction to Yamasaki shouting at him. He was far from out of the fight IMO.

DeVore

What about an up kick? You can't just let a guy stand over you and tee-off... Either push him away with legs or at least threaten an up kick, more than one fight ended by one!

DeV.

sonic85

the body shot was lovely. pity fighters dont try to go to the body more often

Oh_Noes

It was a bit of a strange one alright. The pace was so fast that it looked like Oliveira had nowhere to go but he wasn't hurt either.

Cerrone is fairly underrated really. I think he's done a good job in showing everyone that the WEC lightweights aren't a lower standard by any means. I wasn't giving Bendo a chance in the next fight before, after seeing that I'm not so certain.

Yeah but that's easy to say but might not be too easy to do when you're on your back with your arms around your head trying not to get hit. Did any of the punches actually land when he was on his back? I'm not so sure!

sonic85

cant beat a bit of creedence!

should be a good fight this

I'm not a pro fighter hehe... I think to be honest the shots before did the damage and he got at least one wallop on the ground because he came up with a bloody nose he didn't have going down. I'm not entirely disagreeing with you either, I wouldn't have stopped the fight if he hadn't rolled over and I'd like to see the replay again to see what happened there... But if you put a gun to my head, I'd say it was a fair enough stoppage.

Did Joe Rogan just advocate the viewing of Zuffa Copyrighted material on You Tube

Tut tut Joe :pac:

god the picture quality is going downhill rapidly. can barely see the clock

SDTimeout

Ben Henderson is built like a brick shít house.

MrStuffins

Great f*cking fight lads!

DeVore

Phenomenal fighting from Henderson, but some heart from Miller!

DeV.

sonic85

i think miller has to go for the finish now.

DeVore

What the hell is Miller made out of?


DeV.

SDTimeout

That's many accumulators gone.

MrStuffins

Henderson just sent a BIG message!

He's has to be in the mix for a shot after Edgar v Maynard! What a performance!

sonic85

great fight! henderson was excellent. miller took a good beating - dont know how he kept going

Zero-Cool

Felt bad for Miller, I'd say he could have just kept going, talk about refusing to be finished! Great overall card so far, Hope Hardy and Lytle finish with a BANG!

Xlami

New level of respect for Miller. A lot of guys would have quit, fair play to him. Would love to see him and Gray again. Looking forward to seeing him get back/

SDTimeout

Miller vs Sots or Boeck next please.

edit... I think he's fought Boeck before actually

unknown13

The UFC have a tough task on their hands. Who is next in line after Edgar / Maynard 3. Guida, Siver and Henderson are all looking good.

I think if you had a accumulator and put that fight on it you're mad.

Only those who didnt follow WEC would dare underestimate Henderson.

How weird will it be if Henderson gets a shot before Anthony Pettis? Pettis will definitely be regretting his decision to fight Guida then!

I'd like to see Henderson v Guida for the shot. That would be an immense fight!

Oh_Noes

Henderson really has to be in the title mix after that. I'd say there's a good chance he'll be matched against Clay Guida now as a title elimator and I'd love to see that one. I don't think Guida would be able to blanket him like he did with Pettis.

sonic85

dont know who to shout for here. id hate to see lytle lose in his last bout but i wouldnt like to see hardy cut

Carlos Condit on Twitter

I'm a big Lytle fan hope he wins, but wouldn't mind @danhardymma workin his way back up so I can shut him the **** up once and for all.

Oh_Noes

I like Hardy too but it's silly that the guy is still in the UFC when he has so little in the way of ground game. He's not an old guy, he still has plenty of time to round off his style. Losing this might actually be good for him.

Yeh don't think anyone can complain if thats made a No. 1 competitor match. Crazy how 18 months ago we we're talking about a lack of challangers for BJ.

MrStuffins

I wish Hardy wouldn't insist on flirting with Buffer every time

Zero-Cool

Goldie mentioned Dublin wooo

What a great 1st round!!

I love it. You can tell Hardys getting pumped up by it and Bruce is giving it all

MrStuffins

Lytle getting the best of it. Hardy can't get into a rhythm. 10-9 to Chris!

Oh_Noes

Big Country taking over the emergency cornering duties :pac:

SDTimeout

Isn't Roy Nelson and Dan Hardy the oddest yet best UFC fighter friendship ever!?

Zero-Cool

Is Hardy's mohawk leaking?

sonic85

lytle is definitely looking for one more highlight reel knockout! hes taking big shots all the time

DeVore

Lyttle by decision I think.

DeV.

Oh_Noes

This fight seems to have fallen into a really pedestrian pace. They both look happy to be getting a paycheck.

Nah, I think it's a very interesting one. They're both letting it hang out.

Tough round to score. Lytle is looking a tad tired.

Fair play to Hardy for letting it hang out when he's about to lose his job.

hardy isnt throwing any kicks and isnt attempting any takedowns though. bit strange hes choosing to just box with lytle. for a man thats close to getting his p45.
