This fight is pretty much over if Pettis doesn't get off his back and super aggressive. Dos Anjos is showing great stamina and control tonight, man Pettis is going to have to change things up for whenever he gets another shot.

i hope theres like one hilarious judge card that gave pettis a 48-47 win somehow. 50-45 dos anjos, id imagine 95% of the world has that score.

Dillashaw is out of his title bout and gives us yet another champion who has to bow out of a title fight with an injury.

It gets really hard to care about the UFC on a consistent basis since their champions don't fight more than once a year at a time, that and no one has been built up to care about. I almost forget guys like Weidman are champions of their respective divisions because I never see them in the octagon. For being some of the best, most well rounded fighters ever, they sure are fragile china dolls.

just got around to watching the wsof card from last night. gaethje and palomino was an awesome awesome fight. worth finding... it only went 2 and a half rounds too, so youre not gonna have to sit around for a half hour if this isnt your thing.

[Hammer]

wow, what a sick tap out with that arm bar. calderwood was a -900 favorite too... superb. and i was gonna do full scoring for the main card because im in a good mood.

i watched most of the undercard, but i was kinda waiting for phone calls from work, so i was watching but i wasnt fully invested.

10-9 westcott. good takedown d by pawlak, but westcott controlled the cage and had pressure the whole time. that was an old school randy couture round.

[Hammer]

10-9 pawlak, 19-19. a couple big strikes early, a couple takedowns late, and westcott looks gassed.

[Hammer]

29-28 pawlak. meh fight, westcott is awful, pawlak had decent striking and good takedown d, but he could use more strength to keep from being held against the fence for 4 minutes at time.

[Hammer]

10-9 manuwa. uneventful, pace and control for manuwa.

[Hammer]

10-9, 20-18 manuwa. more control and pushing the pace. blachowicz might be the better striker, but he gets off 1, maybe 2, and then manuwa clinches him up against the fence again.

[Hammer]

30-27 manuwa. nothing exciting going on here. hopefully gonzaga/cro cop is fireworks.

[Hammer]

10-9 gonzaga. at least the round was entertaining, good takedown by napao, deep ankle lock by gonzaga too.

[Hammer]

20-18 gonzaga. that couldve been a 10-8 for napao, but im not sure it was truly close to being finished, and 10-8s are so subjective, ill stick with a 10-9.

[Hammer]

CRO COP! what a turnaround that was.

[Hammer]

"so we're gonna see you again?"
"of course"

awesome.
