he is dead tired

any chance chandler lost the first 2 rds? that third rd might be a 9 8

[SPX]

Can't win if I bet against Patricky . . . can't win if I bet on him.

Alvarez vs Chandler should be fun.

[SPX]

All right, fuck this. I'm off to watch wrestling.

[poopoo333]

lol, should have went with my instinct to go heavier on Chandler. Looks like I was right about Patricky gassing after being in a grappling match with Chandler.

[SPX]

I really thought Chandler was going to win, but goddamn Patricky has looked like a beast and Chandler is still pretty inexperienced.

^^Styles make fights bro bro. Just like 4-0 Chris Weidman dominated the more experienced Sakara. Just like 1-1 Brock Lesnar dominated the more experienced Herring. Just like the 9-0 Mr. Wonderful Phil Davis beat the more experienced Little Nog. Just like 9-0 Chad Mendes dominated the more experienced Omigawa.


Notice the trend in good wrestlers?

That's all true, but Scientist often has a point when it comes to betting against BJJ and supposedly Patricky is some kind of 7x BJJ champ.

Also, Woodard had Chandler's back and probably would've subbed him with more time.

[SPX]

Brock's a shitty example, BTW. I actually think that pro-wrestling prepares one somewhat for MMA in the sense that they are already used to performing under the pressure of thousands of fans and they know how to deal with pain.

That 7x BJJ champ thing goes out the window when you are getting the shit beat out of you/are gassed.

And Woodard had Chandler's back because he wasn't undergoing cardiac arrest. After the first exchange in round 2 tonight, Freire may as well have had an oxygen tank in his corner. He had a near 5 minute break after that 3rd nut shot, and was still really tired afterwards.

That shit was awesome. I thought if I ever saw that move in MMA that it would be from some TKD or Karate guy, but no . . . it was Michael Chandler.

Oh.

So much for Chandlers lay n pray gameplan. He straight up pounded the shit out of Pitbull on the ground in the third round. Some of those elbows were fucking brutal.
