UFC on FOX - Rumble Vs Bader

The Clown Man

Well that ground to a halt!

lertsnim

Another cash cow for Dana made to look bad.

Amazingfun

I can't understand what happened there really....?

That_Guy

It didn't even look like he had it fully locked in.... Weird.

riffmongous

Why did he tap? Doesnt look like there was even a hold there?

Oh and I do know what he was trying to do, just didnt look like it was being applied at all, there didnt seem to be much contact between arm and neck

Really enjoyed that. Sage looks unreal on his feet but he basically threw himself on the ground there and was in trouble from that point on.

Whelo79

Super Sage doesn't like being beat on. Very strange tap!

Wrongway1985

Tapping like that and he is on 40/40 :P

shocksy

Talk about a quick tap or what, very disappointing, that shows weakness as it wasn't even a full hold, strange as he was at half guard. he panicked. Sage Hype is now over after that performance.

That_Guy

Use your indoor voice Bryan.

That_Guy

That promo.... Chills.

riffmongous

You know I've never took people who claimed mma is fixed seriously before, but that was damn near hard to believe, anyone who has ever watched a handful of mma fights knows the defence to that move and he never even tried it, just gave up instead before it looked like it was even close to being locked in. I really dont want to go down that road but that was just weird

Devastator

Sage kind of reminded me of Art Jimmerson there, seemed to freak out and tap far too quickly

That entrance music

Amazingfun

Nah not fixed, think what others have said applies: he just got caught in something he hadn't experienced before and panicked. Poor guy, the taunting will be something else, lol. But I bet he comes back better from it. Hope so anyways!

Wrongway1985

Great round

That_Guy

19 years old and people are taunting him... Outrageous if you ask me. He has so much time to improve. 3 fights in 4 months means very little time for improved game plan.

He can now afford to take some time off, regroup and learn from his mistake and improve his game.

For all the hype, he is still very raw at this level.

I'm not going to argue it as I dont really believe it, all I know is everytime I see an arm triangle from the top I hear Bas Ruten screaming 'answer the telephone' in my head

Agreed 1000%, but you know well how this will play on FB, etc.
I am sure he'll get over it

riffmongous

Trying to nail each other? watch your phrasing Ben

Amazingfun

Wish these dickheads would stop booing.

Amazingfun

Nice Ben!!!!!!!!

That_Guy

Get in there Ben!!!

riffmongous

Imagine seeing Barnett being tapped out by Rothwell, what were the odds on that I wonder?

That_Guy

Come on Ben, do the laugh!!!

The Clown Man

Seriously impressive win for Rothwell.

13/1 apparently

Kirby

That's the first ever time hes tapped to a choke. Bizarre fight.

martyos121

Oh man, Rothwell really is a legend

Kirby

Bader walks out to paint it black.

Rumble walks out to some awful sounding Bieber style shyte.

Amazingfun

I like them both, but really wish Ryan a victory. Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Amazingfun

Oh ****kkkkkk

martyos121

Rumble wins the fight with good takedown defence.

Not how I predicted the fight going!

That_Guy

Needed Bader on points for a 100 euro return on a treble... Bollocks. Nice from Johnson though. Very nice.

Devastator

PHEW!


Bader is nowhere near the top guys at 205. Jones to beat DC then take on Rumble.

Amazingfun

Just unreal. Poor Ryan, he was just too eager and ****ed it all up.

The Clown Man

The power Rumble has is nuts.

Lovely transition to mount though - kimura was never going anywhere and he capitalised.

That was like a lumbering version of Rousey v Zingano. :pac:

Yup, with shades of Aldo thrown in. :cool:

Anyhow, I really like Rumble, glad for him!

That_Guy

Anthony Johnson's improved his ground game for sure. Coupled with that power, he is a very dangerous fighter at 205.

Still question marks over his cardio I'm sure but early doors he is a ferociously dangerous fighter.

I know Cormier is champ but I wish he'd just piss off for a while so we get Jones/Johnson.

That_Guy

Main card - good
Prelims - bag of crap for the most part.

Off to bed. Night lads.
