Mar 15, 2015 Was so pumped when Carla was getting murked. Disliked her on the show. Her and Felice just b------s man. That girl that beat her was good, sick takedown defense. RDA is nuts, he had a great strategy of closing the distance and pressuring. Very good fight. Underwhelmed a bit by Hendricks/Brown. Brown was brawling and doing well but Hendricks just used his wrestling to show how dominating he can be. Reem and Roy was just bad. Roy is generally all around good but he's a bit one dimensional with trying to land the overhand right to win. Reem was running away to, not a bad strategy but just wasn't that entertaining of a fight.
Mar 15, 2015 Was gonna say "but Pettis held the championship for 560 days" but then I realized he only defended his title once in that time.
Mar 15, 2015 I wonder how much seeing his brother get KO'd early in the night effected Anthony, really didnt seem like his normal self in there.
Mar 15, 2015 The Pettis' Gluteus Maximus' took a beatin tonight. Both grey/white and black got kicked hard. EDIT: Carla looked like BJ Penn when she came out in the second and third Edgar fight. Just standing there stone face looking like she didn't want to be there.
Mar 15, 2015 Of course she wanted to be there, her striking is just elementary as f--- Beautiful performance by RDA, apparently he blew his MCL 3 weeks ago too.
Mar 15, 2015 Oh I know she wanted to be there... just her body language looked like she didn't want to be lol.
Mar 15, 2015 I wonder if Pettis would consider going down to FW, i know everyone talks about that when someone loses and gets bullied like that but i dont think anyone would be able to do that too him at FW. Would make that division the best in MMA imo. If he stays at LW i would say the time is now(see what i did there) for him and Barboza to fight. Anyways the RDA comeback reminds me a bit of Robbie Lawler, it wasnt long ago that he robbed Evan Dunham and lost to Gleison Tibau. Now hes dominated Pettis, Cerrone, Bendo and Nate Diaz, basically the who's who of the LW division. Gotta think his first title defense will come in Brazil sometime late summer. Cejudo asked for the chance to fight on the Mexico City card at the press conference, ive been saying this since he was booked with Cariaso that he would fight Jussier Formiga on that card and then earn a title shot. Only thing that might conflict that is Dodson is gonna beat MAkovsky at UFC 187 and earn a title shot, hopefully they book it quickly and line Cejudo up for the winner. Edit: Just noticed Nate Diaz took a shot at Pettis on twitter, wouldnt mind seeing that fight.
Mar 15, 2015 You've been saying hes underrated since when after he KO'd Bendo? Really dont think there was anyone here picking him over Bendo. Anyways i finished 38th out of 2,245 in that free roll for Draft Kings and won 6 bucks lol. Wish that wasnt a free roll, would have caked.
Mar 15, 2015 No i agree that they definitely dont give him enough praise, think that will stop now that hes champ. Bendo fight ppl said was stopped early and Diaz fight most ppl said Nate came in 5 LBS and didnt care + he was supposedly hurt. Not really much they can say about this one.
Mar 15, 2015 What's the time difference between those pics (+ pre-/post-weight cut?)? Also Dallas, so only testing for the day of competition.
Mar 15, 2015 Pretty good card last night. Was really surprised that Dos Anjos manhandled him like he did, even more impressive since he had a torn MCL
Mar 15, 2015 the difference is thats what RDA looked like when he got into the ufc and what he looks like now.
Mar 15, 2015 Is that both at 155 though? One looks walk around weight, so if he was signed he may not have been in a camp? The other looks like he's just finished a camp. The guy has always looked in great shape from what I've seen in his last fights over the past couple years.
