jcd5971

dont see a thread yet for this one so here it goes

jcd5971

strange stoppage, zapata really looks like he ****ed his hand up.

tinpib

Yep, only half watching it but it looked like Anzai's forearm hair did the damage.

Oh right. It was his finger. Would need to see it again.

tinpib

Gosh, Kotani is taking a lot of punishment.

jcd5971

Was talking about this earlier and my friend made the unsubstantiated claim that sumo happens early in the morning in Japan. Feel free to do more research than I have.

jcd5971

hard to say those japs are mental bastards.... in a good way like

jcd5971

i have that for kasuya

EuskalHerria

A boring fight made tedious with the constant high fives, hugs and roars at the end of round 3.

Fight, then be friends.

It must be a nightmare for the American/European based fighters on the card. I think we can expect to understandably see a lot of decisions tonight due to same.

jcd5971

hein landed a lot of counters but did no damage and was passive all fight in my eyes anyway, what do you guys have

jcd5971

must re watch but initial reaction was that was a bull**** decision,

The White Feather

There were more high fives in that one than significant strikes!!

The White Feather

Stand 'em up please ref.......

Had it 29-28 Hein but I couldn't have argued with the opposite either.

Its great to see a fight with both guys just going all out for the win rather than trying not to lose

jcd5971

exactly

The White Feather

Well guys? Barnett or Nelson?

I am going for Barnett as Nelson always seems lazy to me!

The White Feather

Quick glimpse of the chiselled physique of Nelson there........:)

jcd5971

barnett but nelsons right overhand is litterally a mortar cannon firing a nuke packed in a volcano

The White Feather

Yeah its a game changer if he lands it

Barnett for me. I think Nelson has a round to win it (and he easily could if he connects) before he badly gasses. I expect Barnett to succeed in avoiding the right hand, grind him down a bit and finish at the end of round 2/start of round 3.

The White Feather

Missed oportunity for a hair vs hair match here....

jcd5971

rogan fight companion is on ustream/joe rogan now if anyones interested schaub and bravo on with him

The White Feather

Such a dick move from Ishihara with that "glove touch" at the start. I'd love to see him get sparked out after that.

Barnett by submission late in the fight, he will keep Nelson on the ground and tire him out then lock in the sub late on for the win.

not sure you wanna get in a ground game with nelson if he gets top thats alot of weight to move

Paully D

Cracking fight that. Shame Ishihara didn't lose after his little stunt at the start of the fight though.

What way are they going to sort the UFC contract and trophy now?

jcd5971

dunno sign em both

Apparently this is the second time it has happened in a tournament final. :pac:

It would be like having a huge slug on top of you!

I didnt realise for ages that Nelson is actually a bjj black belt but Barnett tapped out Dean Lister (albeit in a grappling tournament not mma) so overall I see Barnett winning

The White Feather

Come on Brandao! He always goes for the win so thata why I like him

The White Feather

told ya!!!!!!!

jcd5971

jaysus makes mcgregors win look even better

weemcd

Wow Diego Brando virtually knocked his opponent out there with one punch, that was quick!

tinpib

Brandao has decent English. Cool.

Not really, Brandao has just taken the sport more seriously since the McGregor loss. His weight cutting has been better, same with his training camps and and hes getting the performances as a result. The Diego that McGregor fought is a different one to the one in the cage now.

Trying to keep Nelson on the ground would be suicide, he's a high level BJJ black belt under Renzo Gracie, just because Nelson doesn't go to the ground doesn't mean it's because he can't.

dunno man brandao was doing this before mcg and now doing it after.
have to disagree with you, but in a friendly exchange of views kind of disagree.

He got touched by Greatness and has now improved like Holloway and Poirier! (although don't mention brimage :P)

Im quite aware of Nelsons ground game, but standing in front of Nelson isnt the place you want to be. Barnett has an excellent wrestling game and his best chance is to grind Nelson on the ground and against the cage and tire him out then lock in a sub.

jcd5971

still dont see how going to ground with nelson is a good decision, if the guy gets on top of barnett good luck breathing with that fat ass on you
