Serious? I might actually take him with points if I can. I won't be able to.

Did you just argue with yourself?

Fun with judging, Bellator 106 edition:

2 of 3 judges gave Curran the first round over Straus.

Every judge gave round 2 to Alvarez. The one who scored the fight for Chandler did so because he gave him the third round.

[edman5555]

Mainly from his fight with warren. He was taken down repeatedly in the fight despite no stand up threat posed from Warren. I also believe Strauss is pretty good everywhere and can grind away a decision. I give him edge in cardio and wrestling. And if he can control Curran he has a great shot. He is also very durable. So plus 250 is well worth it. Im going to see if it gets closer to 300 though.

Good job. I am envious of your capping prowess.

In some ways yes. In other ways no.

what a stupid gameplan from Chandler .... He came out swinging for the fences in the first one and couldn't manage to touch Alvarez but kept swinging for the fences everytime anyway ... Then he slowed down badly later in the fight and Alvarez managed to take over. Chandler is the better fighter but just fought dumb yesterday

Eh I wouldnt say it was stupid. He definitely gassed though. He tried to take down Alvarez, a lot. He just couldnt do it consistently. He actually should have stuck with his striking more. Just been more judicious with it instead of going all out all the time.

I wouldnt say Chandler is the better fighter quite yet. Alvarez tore his face apart with his striking and damn near KO'd him in the first fight. I'd say they are pretty even right now with Alvarez being the better striker and Chandler the better wrestler. If Alvarez can polish up his TDD a it more, he can probably win the third fight. Also, I'd take either guy over anyone in the UFC 155 pound division
