UFC 116 Fight Night rockhold v branch

mailburner

Latest thread ever :pac:


what a comeback uriah hall, was so nearly toast in that first round, tough
on jotko practically emptying his gas tank in the first.
Hall was as big as 15/2 after the first.


main event surely goes to luke, fancy smith to take lombard, looks a fighter on the up, less said bout lombard the better.

First two fights have been great.

It's rare to see three ko's in the first three prelims

Great card so far

I hate Ledet. I've hated him since his first UFC fight.

Okay, he should have thrown more. He should have made his dominance count more.....but come on man. He was CLEARLY so much better than his opponent on every level.

Ledet's jab is legit. 95% of the UFC roster don't know how to Jab. Rockhold being the perfect example.

I didn't say he didn't deserve to win. I do think he will be chewed up by the top of the division but obviously he was better than his opponent. 
He just annoys me.

Head over heels knockout! Not sure what Miragliotta was waiting for there - Usman showed good sport for not jumping in.

MileHighGuy

Great first round between Gonzalez and Gillespie. Had a little bit of everything. Gillespie's round for sure, but 3 head kicks from Gonzalez just failed to connect, any one might have finished the fight.

MileHighGuy

How can Gonzalez seem so surprised at every takedown attempt? Absolutely no defense for it at all. Great scrap while it lasted though.

Amazingfun

WOW, vicious KO for Perry :-)

EagererBeaver

Turned over from the boxing about five seconds before that knee landed for Perry.

Still can't stand him though. Calling out Lawler a bit on the cheeky side though.

EagererBeaver

Won't happen but would love to see Rockhold get sparked again to make up for GGG getting robbed.

Gamebred

Holy **** nearly sparked out twice here already rockhold

MileHighGuy

Branch had a great start to the round but Rockhold came back into it, just give the first to Branch though.

MileHighGuy

Good finish there from Rockhold. Impressive how cool he stayed after a good start to the fight from Branch, never panicked.

EagererBeaver

Don't understand Branch wrestling there when he was having such success with the hands.

Rockhold's boxing is so so dodgy.

wonderfullife

I'm sure Luke will be classy and humble as always now...

Branch had the right idea just trying to box him but Luke's top game is unreal he absolutely destroyed Machida and Weidman when he got them down, same story here.

Gamebred

Rockhold striking looked like **** tonight imo, excellent grappling.

Podge2k7

Had a treble with Aubin Mercier to win, Perry by KO and Rockhold by KO at just over 6/1.

Deadst4r

What does tapping to strikes on gambling sites count as? TKO?
I had Rockhold by sub  He wanted to make a statement so didn't go for the RNC. Although I think submitting a black belt under Renzo would have been more of a statement tbh.

breadmonkey

Thought Rockhold had that same lethargic look in the early stand up exchanges as the Bisping fight. Like he thought fighting Branch was beneath him. Serious hypocrisy as well talking sh!t at his opponent post fight like that. Division is in a mess though - Rockhold vs Whittaker next, winner fights Bisping/GSP?

Your bet is a loser, and im glad considering you after timed it, it was a submission win due to strikes.

TKO due to Submission strikes according to Sherdog so his bet should be a win. You are allowed aftertiming on this thread. I place most of my bets 5 minutes before the fight, I don't see the issue. I only bet a couple of quid and it's for fun, chill.
If it really is submission, then Unibet have ****ed me over

Fuck me, Branch tapped to the strikes. Balls. :mad:

ricero

Impressed with how calm rockhold was in getting the victory.


The mvp of the night once again is mike perry. One of the most exciting fighters to watch these days. Really hope they give him a top 10 opponent next

Lmao, Unibet changed from Loss to Win. Thank God as I was down all night anyway so only just broke even.

Get a life.

Deadst4r

Not often someone taps to strikes. The ref was just about to stop it and declare it a TKO.

Dont come into a thread after the fights claiming you backed a winner, nobody cares stop looking for a pat on the back theres a gambling thread for pre fight fancies try using it goodnight.
