UFC on FOX

[Svino]

What was he supposed to do? Shoot in immediately and repeatedly with no setup? Yeah that's going to work. You have to sell it with your striking and Dana knows that as well as anybody. The fight went a minute and the guy got clobbered. Shit happens. Everyone knew this was a possible outcome.

Dana is obviously just butthurt because he was banking on Cain winning, or at least the fight going long.

Yup, exactly. All this heavy criticism of Cain is silly.

[Svino]

4.6 million people watched Cain get KTFO, 6 million watched Kimbo get KTFO ...........problem here?

Dana should have signed Kimbo early, had him fight Cain, JDS, or Lesnar, and then instructed them to draw the beating out over 15 minutes and not quiiiite finish him off until the end.

Kimbo vs brock when brock was first getting into mma would have been insane viewer wise

BTW, Vandelay:

I thought you were totally trolling me when you said they weren't re-showing the Bendo/Guida fight. Apparently on my European stream they were showing totally different shit and international views got three fights--Bendo/Guida, JDS/Cain and DJ/Harvison--instead of all the FOX analysis.

Now I have to go back and rewatch it because apparently some pretty entertaining shit went on during the FOX show.

Dude is a boss.

I can't wait for Overeem/JDS.

Oh and when I watched the post-fight thing with Dana, you could tell he was pissed. He badly wanted Cain to win so he could finally take over Mexico.

And lol at shooting. I don't think Cain was fighting very smart, but that is hindsight for you.

[Thewisemann]

JDS will knock him out.

[MMA_scientist]

Probably. That is why I want to see it. Brock would be pretty funny, but I expect AO to roll Brocky now (at least that is my feeling of the day, last week I was thinking Brock would win).

Also it is not like JDS is the greatest striker that ever lived. Overeem has handled better strikers in his day, I wouldn't be shocked if Overeem won.

[zY|]

Yeah if there's no threat of a takedown, Overeem won't be reluctant to unload, and the dude can unleash some serious, serious offense. That said, he's still hittable and has never reacted well to taking damage, which is not good vs a finisher like JDS.

[Thewisemann]

Me either, but Overeem is a little chinny.

[edman5555]

but technically he should be the better kickboxer right? We don't know exactly what JDs's chin is like either. He kickboxed in brazil, he was 18-0 there IIRC. Overeem fought in K1 for a long time. He also has a good ground game. He could just be better overall....

Also, Wiseman. You didn't answer my questions or PM. Why were you on JDS? Striking +TDD? Lack of confidence in Cains striking? Whats' the answer? We are all kinda like a team here..it would be cool if you could share your insight and reasoning with us. You mostly just post bets or say "this guy will kick this guys ass", and leave out why.

[zY|]

JDS' boxing is far more technical, IMO. Overeem mostly just throws devastating power shots.

JDS took a couple big overhand rights from Roy. His chin is solid.
