Good man, PP. You are a bastion of sober-minded objectivity.
I was just like Scientist. I was busy talking during that fight. But most of the time when I looked up, Wiman was doing the whole hanging onto the leg thing. I am actually surprised the judges didn't give the fight to Wiman based on how they have been scoring fights, that is why I was surprised last night. But after watching the fight Wiman didn't really get shit done in rounds 1 and 3 and Siver was more effective.
Any chance Sherk comes out of the nursing home and fights Guillard or Siver? I'd like to see those fights, moreso Guillard vs Sherk though.
That's what I thought, too. I'm not sure if you ever listen to any of the Sherdog podcasts, but even Jordan Breen--who called Wiman the best underdog bet on the card and who said himself that he had put some money on him--said on Beatdown After the Bell that he scored the fight for Siver and thought he deserved the decision.
I was worried, though. Wiman definitely controlled the fight in the sense that he had Siver pushed up against the cage most of the time and he also had that huge second round which I thought might get in the judges' minds and influence them, whether consciously or subconsciously.
About Tito Ortiz
Quote:
Diego Sanchez, UFC welterweight: "I bet $100 on him. I'm not a big time gambler but I saw him when I walked in. We talked. He had that focus and I knew if he was going to lose that fight it was either he was on his way out the door or he was out the door. So, I knew he was going to win it."
War Diego, and his $100 betting Toxic-Avenger-After-the-Kampmann-Fight looking ass.
The reason why wiman lost is because all he did was hug sivers leg. Simpson was dirty boxing and kneeing tavares and stifling all of his offense. Fodor has a great defense for being clinched against the cage in that he has wicked knee's and usually has a much higher output even tho he is being pushed against the fence.
I think Cruz/Faber goes down in the top ten all time greatest fights in MMA up to now.
I agree. It was an incredible fight.
good fight. No where near top 10.
Great fight, but it's not even fight of the year.
I can't think of a single fight this year that I think was better. Which one would you suggest?
diaz vs daley is fight of the year
Edgar/Maynard 2
I thought it was good but all time top 10???????????
It was probably top 10 this year . I agree that Daley-Diaz , Maynard -Edgar were better and would add Sanchez-Kampmann and Barry-Kongo.
Im not sure it was top 10 in my book. I will have to think about my all time best fights, but Diaz/Gomi was the best I ever seen.
If I had to make a top 10 list of all time fights, I'd have no idea where to start. One of my favorites is Rampage/Forrest
