[Elsalvajeloco]

Thales Leites vs. Tom Watson for the linear BAMMA middleweight title I see

 

The fights below Machida vs. Davis has to be the most Fuel TV oriented lineup that is not on Fuel.

[smitlick]

Hoping the Korean Zombie puts up a good fight.. Massive fan so hoping he doesnt get killed

[epwar]

The Countdown show was great and had lots of good info regarding the Korean Zombie.  

[Elsalvajeloco]

Would anyone like to buy a chin for Vinny Magalhaes?

[Fat Spanish Waiter]

Maybe he should just wire his existing one shut so he doesn't embarrass himself all the time

[Jiji]

They bring this guy back?

 

 

Just terrible.

[Elsalvajeloco]

The bad thing is I don't even think Cecil Peoples would score that for Phil. Godawful judging.

[Jiji]

Stann is good on commentary, but that "congratulations, you just got gaped," was hella awkward.

[Elsalvajeloco]

My man CSJ tried to reattach his arm back to his body.

[Fat Spanish Waiter]

Phil Davis is shite.

[Jiji]

Nice trunks and origin story for his nickname, though. His stand-up is still brutal.

[epwar]

Another Machida fight that goes to a controversial decision?  NO WAY!

[Craig H]

Fucking bullshit judging. I can't believe I went from someone who really didn't like Machida to now thinking he gets robbed by the judges. Machida fucked up Davis for nearly 3 rounds. Unbelievable.

[epwar]

While I agree it was a terrible decision, Machida in no way "fucked up Davis for nearly 3 rounds."

Crappy decision.

[Craig H]

What in the fuck?! Chris Watts scores round 1 for Lyoto, but later scores round 3 for Davis? Terrible.

[TheVileOne]

Time for Machida to stop being "elusive."

[epwar]

Yeah, I agree.  Machida has really no one but himself to blame for losses like that (and wins where he barely squeaked by).

[Jiji]

Except that he controlled the fight and did more damage.

[hammerva]

I am baffled how you can give round 1 to Davis. I guess refs live by the last 20 seconds on a round because that was the only time Davis did anything. Granted though Machida only did enough to score "points" with no damage

[Kuetsar]

What in the fuck?! Chris Watts scores round 1 for Lyoto, but later scores round 3 for Davis? Terrible.

That's really fucked up, as round three was the only one I thought Lyoto really won. . .Davis took him down a couple of times in 1-2, but couldn't in round three. . .Not saying Davis clearly won either, but I can see how the judges would score that way. .

[Kuetsar]

He got his ass kicked, but Tom Watson is a tough motherfucker, and extra point for that bladejob(jk).

[Fat Spanish Waiter]

Davis got two takedowns, spent about a minute on top, and did nothing else. He's a terrible fucking fighter and Bones is going to obliterate him and his embarrassing facial hair.

These are the top dudes of that division.  Which is why it's so lame.  Davis can't do anything except go for takedowns and hope to control his opponent.  Machida has a lot of ability but he's not big or strong for 205, so the only real way he can win is to dance around and catch dudes off-balance.  Gustafsson ain't no good, he's just tall, Shogun is completely shot at this point.  I would not be surprised if he lost to Sonnen, he damn near lost to Brandon Vera.  Rashad should probably be at MW.  Glover is the only real bright spot in that division outside of the champ.
