UFC 125

[SPX]

Well losing Gomi and Diaz via decision pretty much wipes out my Stephens win. So some shit needs to happen in the next few fights.

[Svino]

Just the kind of fight I like. Kim was trying to pass and there was a lot of up and down action.

I agree. It was a great fight.

I think sometimes those Sherdog judges score fights how they *wish* MMA fights were scored, rather than how they're actually scored.

I can't see any way you could score that with Diaz winning? It was closer than the first round but shit. It's not like Nate did anything.

I'm the one calling them out on it. Pay attention.

You ninja'd me. That's all.

Honestly, if I were charged with scoring fights just on who got the better of who... I would have given Rd 2 to Diaz. Kim took him down, but then he just got punched in the face a lot and defended submission attempts.

So you scored it for Diaz, then?

[MMA_scientist]

So you scored it for Diaz, then?

No, because he didn't do enough damage to negate the control that Kim had. But control is given too much weight IMO. I think control should score, but only from dominant positions.

Did Vera really "Train at the Olympic level"?

[MMA_scientist]

No. He trained at the olympic training center, which anyone can do.

[SPX]

Fuck you Brandon Vera.

[SPX]

No. He trained at the olympic training center, which anyone can do.

Didn't he do some notable shit in Greco at some point, though?

[Svino]

No. He trained at the olympic training center, which anyone can do.

I thought I remembered it was something like that. Thanks.

Joe just said thiago has been plagued by back injuries for so long he hasnt been using his grappling. Damn i wish there was place I could look this up because I am about to lose on VEra.

[MMA_scientist]

I have Not Silva by Sub... I didn't think he would get taken down so easily. He guard is weak.

I thought his back injuries and him actually being a grappler were common knowledge.

[Svino]

I heard some stuff about a back injury surrounding the Evans loss, but I just kind of filed it in the "excuses" department.

[SPX]

Thiago Silva can kiss my goddamn ass. He never does shit like this. What the fuck is this about?
