Guest Edwin Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I tuned in during Romero/Brunson, so I ask, how were the prelims until the flyweight fights? Anything I should go back and watch?
epwar Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Miller vs. Sicilia is worth a look. The rest under that has been kinda "eh."
epwar Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 That was kind of Lorenz Larkin not to show up to night.
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 He probably needs to haul ass immediately to a bigger gym. That's the only way he'll stay in the UFC.
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 He's never looked that apprehensive though. Part of that is the fact no one looks good against Brad Tavares. But I think training down at some random gym in Riverside is definitely not helping. At least go back to Team Quest in Temecula.
Zero Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Very skippable show, if it wasn't mid-week. Rockhold looked good, and the soccer kick to the body follow-up was beautiful. 1
TheVileOne Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Skippable show, but it's a free midweek card. Didn't mind watching it. Great finish by Rockhold. Cole Miller claiming he was a top 10 fighter was funny. But hey maybe it will work and he'll sneak into the rankings next week. Still it was one of his better performances since he moved down. The referee in the Yoel Romero fight was embarrassing. He yelled last warning and then proceeded to give about 20 more warnings.
Zero Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Miller is basically on a 4 fight streak (lost to Manny. but after some bullshit, where Manny was basically knocked out and they gave him time to recover. Still one of the weirdest things ever.) I don't seem him beating anybody in the top 5 really, but guy knows how to have a good post-fight interview 1
The Natural Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Forgot to record this. I'll try and check out what's recommended in the thread. 1
TheVileOne Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I would say watch the main card. They replay the only prelim worth watching as I recall. Prelim card wasn't worth watching otherwise. 1
