Elsalvajeloco Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 I would love to see Karolina vs. Calderwood. I think that would be a entertaining matchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Fuck, I love watching Do Bronx fight. Just sort out the weight issues and he's elite. Pressure is always going to be Do Bronx's weakness. Holloway was starting to turn it up before that weird finish. I think Max would have clearly won at least 49-46 on the scorecards if it went the distance. Max's activity would have worn on him. I think at lightweight, there are just too many good fighters to really break into the top ten. He might scratch top 15, but you got some really tough matchups above that. You're right in that he struggles when faced with pressure, though I think he's better than quite a few of the top 15 lightweights. I'd have him just below Dariush but above Jury (#9). Both he and my other fave, Barboza, really do struggle when guys close distance consistently and apply pressure in close. If he stays at 145, he needs to make some changes to his weight cut because he can't afford another missed cut. I think Barboza has done better now with pressure than he has in the past. He just loves being in a firefight. It's easier to get caught when something you don't see coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Great fight and they're fighting a Diaz fight. Surprised with how infrequently Johnson is getting inside but Diaz's jabs are hurting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsuna Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I just found myself really rooting for Nate. That was unexpected... Then he had to push it after the bell and i remembered why I don't usually do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zheroen Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 LOL @ everyone who thought that Cerrone had a chance. Anyone who comes out to a Kid Rock song in 2015 should be drawn and quartered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Jeez everyone I thought would win or wanted to win on this show lost. Thought Randa would at least pull off the decision in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Jeez everyone I thought would win or wanted to win on this show lost. Thought Randa would at least pull off the decision in the end. Randa could have done better if she was looking for more than one punch. Karolina wasn't piling it on, but she appeared to be way more active in throwing combos than Randa. That shined through when you had periods of inactivity. I also think Markos could done more when she had back control. It seems like once she got the body triangle, it became a bit of a stalemate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoychers Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Wow. So, totally blown away by Nate Diaz. His boxing was sharp, staying just enough out of range to take and evade Johnson's shots and walked through those leg kicks, to unload that beautiful jab. Shit-talking afterwards didn't disappoint either. Rafael Dos Anjos was terrific too. Really dominant performance. Hellacious striking broke Cerrone's soul.
