Wow, I actually had Rivera by TKO r3 first minute on my UFC fantasy card, and i changed it last minute…
Also, a little surprised Hardonk just lost like that.. He looked slow and unresponsive to me.. He wasn’t blocking anything early on, so I knew it was only a matter of time before he got dropped at that point.. Just thought he’d do a bit better..

JollyDV good call. Hardonk’s hands looked terrible and wasnt blocking well at all and it cost him the fight. Barrys punkches were quick and made Hardonk look slow. That was entertaining!

Shogun won every single round. Cecil and the other 2 judges need to be shot. not fired, not sanctioned, taken out back and shot in the fucking face. that decision is a travesty and a blight on the sport of MMA.

Doubts if I’ll go that far Ozz, but they havvve to do something about the judging. We see this too often where we get the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. Maybe if I start wearing a helmet to school and waving my arms wildly while running through traffic I’ll be offered a job so I can replace these judges.
I haven’t seen one person yet who is on Lyoto’s side. It didn’t even look like Lyoto was on Lyoto’s side.
