Yes but if that was a 10-8, what do we call the first round of Maynard/Edgar II? Because if what Fitch did was 10-8 last night then we're looking at possibly a 10-6 in what Maynard did to Edgar there.

10-7, obviously.

3. A round is to be scored as a 10-8 Round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.

4. A round is to be scored as a 10-7 Round when a contestant totally dominates by striking or grappling in a round.

Hard to sell me on that not being a 10-8 round, Dana. BJ was taken down immediately, held down for the duration, offered zero offense, outstruck 149-2 while being punched in the face constantly and generally just having his fucking ass kicked.

I rewatched the fgiht ,BJ didnt win rd 2.He spent the first 2:30 of the round getting taken down and planted against the cage and spent the last 1:00 getting GnP on the floor .

The only thing BJ did in rd 2 was get a TD that he did nothing with and got reversed quickly, that doesnt win you a round imo


Of course Dana is going to say he thought BJ won ,BJ is the more marketable fighter. Even BJ doesnt think BJ won ........that should tell ya something

I don't see why people are already rearranging the division. GSP still has 2 months before the Shields fight, and he has agreed to nothing about moving up to fight Silva. It's not a foregone conclusion at all, just because Dana said. This is the 3rd time he's said they're going to fight if X beats X and he changed his mind both times. And even if they do fight, who's to say it's not at a catchweight with both retaining their titles?

Dana speaks:

UFC president Dana White admitted he had no idea how things will shake out, but did believe Penn did enough to get the win over Fitch.
"I didn't think it was a draw," White told ESPN.com. "I looked at the scorecards and the two judges who had it a draw scored the first two rounds for Penn and the third round a 10-8 [for Fitch].
"Personally, I scored the first two rounds for Penn and had him winning the fight. There's no doubt B.J. got pounded in the third round, but that wasn't a 10-8 round."

The welterweight division is such a mess lol. The only way it will be clear is if Jake Shields beats GSP. I hope GSP wins though, I would like to keep my bet on GSP @+190.

[Mr. IWS]

Yeah, I really got that vibe from the speech he gave there at the end. It just sounded like, "Well if I lost this fight I was going to retire, but since the gods were... 'good'... to me, I guess I'll have to keep going." I'm not saying he wanted to lose, but it looked like the draw was emotionally crushing for him, like he just wanted a sign one way or the other so he would know what to do with his life and the draw was the exact opposite of that.

Well said. I agree

[Mr. IWS]

I really hope we dont see Penn-Fitch again anytime soon.

I think it will happen after GSP beats Shileds and moves up to 85. Will be for the strap this time.

[Mr. IWS]

Really?

I have never really liked Bisping, but I thought he was actually pretty respectful tonight.

Agree. Rivera's mouth wrote checks, his ass couldn't cash. I would have fuckin pulled my dick out and pissed on him after I knocked him out.

[SPX]

If they don't do BJ/Fitch II, I could see them putting together BJ vs Serra

Hopefully not.

Matt can't beat BJ, and I don't want to see him take another loss right now. In fact, I don't want to see either of them take another loss.

BJ did look good in the beginning. I don't know if it was BJ gassing or what at the end. It looked like he was really stuck up against that cage though he did look a little despondent. I can't tell.

[edman5555]

Yeah I read that he was about 176 the day before. That might of been a stage in a cut but the article wasn't really stating that. He is on a new diet that has made him a lot slimmer. He was definetly much larger than BJ though and incredibly cut. He has probably lost a couple pounds of fat. Not that he was fat before.

[Luke]

You guys should post threads on Sherdog with this bullshit. Seriously, just a huge steaming load of cow manure in this post.

You think BJ won rd 2 ,maybe you should stay at sherdog
