TheVileOne Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I picked Dan Kelly to win this fight...but I didn't bet any money. I like Dan Kelly. He's pretty good considering how late he started MMA and fighting in the UFC. Thought Junior was a little overrated going into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty good considering how late he started MMA and fighting in the UFC. Thought Junior was a little overrated going into this. Cara do Sapato is basically athletic Pe de Pano at middleweight. That's not a bright outlook. Anyway, BIG BIG win for Jake Matthews. That fight went exactly the opposite as I was expecting. He beat the person who people perceived as the better prospect and just stayed on him for the entire fight. If he can up his fight IQ and continue to grow as a fighter, he will be a fascinating potential top ten fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That was one of the most insane fights I've seen. The most Lombard-y Lombard fight too. Holy shit, Neil Magny rules! Lombard threw a punch at the start of the third after getting rocked and he still hurt Magny significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I love you Neil Magny! The future UFC champion! I can't stand Hector Lombard, so that comeback in the second had me on the feet. I knew that if Magny somehow survived that early onslaught, he could win because Lombard's cardio has always been suspect. Lombard still looks like he's on the juice.

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 *Let me duck into this punch* *BOP* Holy shit, Frank. He looks fucking terrible. He has old pro wrestler body. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Awesome comeback and win from Neil Magny in a crazy fight. Disappointed in some of the decisons, mainly was hoping for Seo Hee Ham to pull off the victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Her hand speed is really slow for such a small fighter, which isn't a good thing as she doesn't really have a tonne of power and her head is almost always the centre line. She's got good cardio and can take a beating though, so she can hang in there and take advantage of mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 *Let me duck into this punch* *BOP* Holy shit, Frank. He looks fucking terrible. He has old pro wrestler body. He looked like he should've been coaching a little league soccer game tonight. Coming off TRT clearly hit him hard. EDIT: Mark Hunt had an epic quote at the post-fight press conference. "I looked at Frank. He was in the Dark Lands. So I left him there." He's like a character in a Mad Max movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Between the Omielanczuk-Danho fight last month and Mir tonight, I'm in favor of Reebok making rashguards and allowing HW fighters to wear them if they please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Nakai vs. Smith was a good fight Rin looked better in this fight it would be interesting to see how she would do in her next fight if she fights in the UFC again. The Hooker submission was sweet and I'm glad Jouban was able to win by TKO in the 1st round. Bec/Ham was another good fight but Bec gassed hard in the 3rd round however she was able to survive when Ham had her in trouble in that round. Kelly made a great comeback and Matthews changed his fight with those body shots. Magny Magny Magny what a comeback and I can't wait to see who he fights next! The above Hunt quote sums up the fight perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 My favorite thing in all of sports is the Mark Hunt walk off knockout punch. He is so absolutely certain that you aren't getting up when he lands a big shot that he just casually walks back to his corner. The ref in that Lombard/Magny fight should neer be able to ref a fight again. I can kind of defend not calling the fight when Magny was hurt, because he was constantly moving and trying to improve his position. That second round should have been stopped about 15 times over Lombard was just lying face down absorbing shots to the head. That was just plain negligent refereeing.

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 John Sharp (was the referee for Miocic-Hunt last year) and Steve Perceval (was the referee for Lombard-Magny) are both terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It was strange that they had so many fights across the show featuring a massive height discrepancy between fighters. And it did make it pretty clear that (if you aren't a heavyweight), it makes a lot of sense to be tall and skinny for your weight. The only shorter fighter who seemed to be winning was Seo Hee Ham, who still lost the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 This card actually did good ratings wise (1.149 million avg.) against tough competition. It did way better than the Maia vs. LaFlare card this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm glad it broke over a million viewers even though it was flying under the radar. All in all, the card delivered for me for the last three fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
