UFC 162

[Luke]

ah I am fucked. god damnit I didn't realize how they calculate it.

Huh?

29-28 Craig , 1 point difference
30-27 Craig, 3 point difference

Craig up 4 points

29-28 Leben 1 point difference

Craig won by 3 points

That's a win , edmann. You need to call them .

Awaiting my call back. Thanks

[edman5555]

They regarded a couple of my wagers. I hit Leben plus 3.5 about 5 times. They fixed three of them. Very happy. Still waiting on the rest.

Good deal

[edman5555]

I got the rest of the money. Wow close call. Between stake and win it was about 1700.

What else is funny about the whole sequence is that Silva didn't have his hands by his sides/being stupid when the initial punch that Silva acted like it hurt him landed.

[edman5555]

Yeah I watched it again. gotta give Weidman some credit.

[Vandelay]

Easily out striking him in rd 2? Someone needs to rewatch that rd . Wiedman landed exactly two strikes in the rd before the KO blow.

Ill have to look at it again. Maybe Neither landed much.

[Mr. IWS]

Yeah maybe we can find some value on Leben when he isn't all fucked up and high as a kite.

LMAO!

Post event thoughts:

Cub Swanson is the the Carlos Condit of the the FW division. He brings the pressure and finds a way to win despite not having a controlling style. Siver's ground game is underrated.

Munoz is not as good as I hoped, but better than most people give him credit for. He's probably not going to be champ ever, but I would really only favor a couple guys to beat him.

Roger should retire. I am a fan of his grappling, but he just isn't going to pan out in MMA. He doesn't have the right tools or style and he isn't hungry. I was disappointed that he didn't move off the back and look for an arm or triangle when it became apparent that he wasn't going to get the choke. And then, he gassed. I am not really sure how since he spent most of the round chilling with a body triangle. Maybe he experienced the classic UFC jitters. I really don't think Kennedy is a very good fighter over all and doesn't do anything particularly well. He isn't bad at anything, but he is going to lose to the top guys everytime IMO.

Frankie gonna Frankie. But at least he started throwing actual punches with purpose in the 3rd.

I think I will bet Silva in a rematch. Weidman isn't a better striker over all and Anderson figured out the takedowns. Regardless of how many strikes he actually landed, from my view, it was not different than any number of Silva fights where he doesn't throw many, and then he does and you go down. He got caught yes, but I wouldn't count on that happening again. That said, I was glad to see it as I really never liked Silva and I always liked Weidman.

They didnt. Silva landed four leg strikes and one punch before getting KO'd . Wiedman landed one punch and one front kick, then the KO punch and two additional ground strikes before it was stopped. I counted five strikes from each in the round, but three of Weidman's were the KO sequence

I was really disappointed in Gracie. I thought that fight was perfect for him. If he had any tank whatsoever he should have been able to do what he did in rd 1 for all 3 rds. I agree, its time for him to retire.

Munoz isnt that good , Boetsch was just highly overrated going into the fight. I'd still bet almost any top 10 MW against Munoz.


Frankie has lost some steps . Those wars have taken something out of him . I'd take Swanson over him at decent dog odds.

[poopoo333]

I agree with Luke on Frankie. At some points in the fight it looked like Oliveira should have poured it on Edgar because he looked kind of shook/slightly wobbly. Also, one thing I hate about Oliveira in a betting perspective is his willingness to go to his back. If he can't get shit done from there, the judges will more than likely give the other guy the round even if he is the more active guy from the bottom.

Swanson/Edgar in a 5 rounder...I want it.

[edman5555]

LMAO!

I was serious.

[edman5555]

Belfort has already called out Weidman and said he has earned the shot.

Good comment from Weidman.
