No way in hell this was staged. Who is going to say "hit me as hard as you possibly can, busting up my nose with your left then punch me while I'm on the ground too." BTW I'm going to hit you clean almost at the same time when you hit me right in the face. Impossible...
Wiedman actually was doing pretty well until they went to the ground (which was Wiedman's fault). He had his back a couple times and hit him with a couple shots. Luke will be the favorite but I'm looking forward to a rematch down the road. Was very impressed with Rockhold though and the fight should have been stopped at the end of the 2nd, brutal elbows...

I mean, other than Dana White publicly questioning the non-stoppage of Weidman fight --- unless you think he's questioning in public, and then slipping Herb Dean $50k under-the-table?
And how was the McGregor fight stopped quick? Knockout punch to the jaw, and two hammerfists? It was an easy decision for the ref.
Are you talking about the Mendes/McGregor fight?
Yep, Mendes was gassed --- only a matter of time before McGregor caught him with a few punches.
Most of these guys stay in year-round shape --- but still, Mendes took the fight on short-notice (due to Aldo injury). With a true training-camp, maybe Mendes has the extra stamina to finish that fight? Dunno.
im a boxing guy that bought my first ever ppv mma event. i think that something was up with that aldo guy. he looked extremely tight to me in the intros esp for being a guy that hasnt been beaten in 10 yrs or whatever. guys like mcgregor that run their mouths sell a lot of tickets for sure. im not saying the guy took a dive and decided to come in face first to get kod but if this guy has been undefeated for 10 yrs with that kind of def, he must not have fought anyone that knows how to fight.
ha, yea Chad Mendez, Uriah Faber, and Frankie Edgar don't know how to fight, at all, they've just been in the Top 5 of the World's best for the last 10 years. Comical, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a boxing guy. Does jiu jitsu even work?
Agree. So do you think Conor runs through the 155 Division too? I mean Dana is not gonna make him by giving him the title shot immediately when he jumps up (BS to me, btw) but just asking...
I can't stand DW, never did from the start. All he cares about are #'s. Conor won't "run" thru the division, but he will do just fine. If he catches a large 155 fighter with speed, he will be in trouble
All these fights are very easy for me to predict..Holly, Luke, and Conor were all easy as it gets. The whole UFC blows up so many fighters that it is laughable. The UFC was nothing like it was in the early 90's.
