Have they still not updated Cormier's card so his leg reach doesn't read 0? =p

 

[BadAss2961]

Interested in this Big Country vs Black Beast fight.

 

[Levito]

Hope Derrick knocks Roy Nelson the fuck out.

 

[serenewarfare]

Surprised they didn't announce Cormier's opponent there. It can't still not be finalized, can it? Weigh-ins are in like 12 hours.

 

[parrotbeak]

Rumor is it is Silva and no announcement yet because they're negotiating the weight and rounds.

Terrible matchup for old Anderson. Good for the card though.

Lewis looks in pretty good shape tonight.

 

[Obliterator]

Big time KO incoming one way or another

 

[BadAss2961]

This looks like a battle of the two toughest guys in the joint.

Ya, it's the name that would save the ppv numbers, but not the fight that should happen.

 

[FATstronaut]

Those knees!

 

[Macattk15]

Jesus Derek is tee'ing off.

 

[Fox318]

Derek needs to elbow while against the cage

 

[Obliterator]

That was a wild fucking round haha

 

[Levito]

This card has been EXCEPTIONAL



LET'S GO DERRICK

 

[BadAss2961]

Anyone else but Roy is knocked out at this point.

 

[Macattk15]

Gassed out.

 

[Maintenance]

Round two and they are already:

 

[BadAss2961]

Whoever wins round 3 wins the fight.

 

[Levito]

Whoever wins round 3 wins the fight.

Yup it's 1-1

 

[Macattk15]

Fight was cool for 1 round at least.

 

[ReadingRambo]

Derrick needs something big. He's drained.

 

[Obliterator]

Big Country just landing takedowns at will

 

[Chesskid1]

nelson doing what he has to to win

 

[Macattk15]

Holy SHIT ... Roy took a FUCKING BOMB.

 

[Fox318]

Nelson is fucking tough

 

[Levito]

Roy Nelson Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Obliterator]

That was the worst Roy's striking has ever looked in that fight

 

[Jimmy King]

What a tag

 

[BadAss2961]

Big Country could've possibly lost the round in those last minute exchanges.

 

[Macattk15]

Well ... I don't know about that ... but Roy didn't do shit to impress me.

 

[parrotbeak]

Judges using Pride rules

 

[Fox318]

What fight did those judges watch?

 

[Yaari]

I have no idea what he said.

 

[alr1ght]

Black Nate Diaz

 

[-MD-]

Don't agree with the decision. Beast did more damage but he got taken down like 9 times.

Whatever.

 

[Host Samurai]

Robbed

 

[Levito]

Eh I don't like Roy Nelson but that decision was kinda weak.


Look at the striking difference though. Roy-4, Derrick- 51

 

[Jimmy King]

Shit!

 

[GunBR]

Despite the punches that he take on the last minute, Nelson obviously won both second and third round

Dumb decision by the refs

 

[Fox318]

Derek should have elbowed the Fuck out of Nelson when he was pinned up against the cage.

 

[painey]

so glad that takedowns weren't rewarded over strikes

 

[Host Samurai]

Cormiers opponet to be Fedor. I'm callin it

 

[Jimmy King]

I really like Nelson's beard, but Lewis's end promo was too good.

 

[parrotbeak]

Even Big John was in on this fix, separating them whenever Nelson had him on the fence.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Ground control with barely enough work to cause actual damage shouldn't be rewarded as strongly as those significant strikes Derrick landed, even more so when there's that much of a difference in landed strikes. Great decision in my eyes.

Even Big John was in on this fix, separating them whenever Nelson had him on the fence.

Gave him more than enough time to work when in the clinch, Nelson was recuperating by closing distance most of the time from those hard ass body knees from Lewis anyway in those instances Big John broke it.

 

[Peotical Injection]

Loved that Derrick won. I love Nelson, but man, he didn't do much once the fight went to the ground. It was kind of surprising cause Roy's ground and pound is pretty good.

 

[BadAss2961]

Cormiers opponet to be Fedor. I'm callin it

Wasn't Fedor in a war like 3 weeks ago?

 

[Levito]

It's so weird that Brock is representing Canada.

 

[Obliterator]

Ground control with barely enough work to cause actual damage shouldn't be rewarded as strongly as those significant strikes Derrick landed, even more so when there's that much of a difference in landed strikes. Great decision in my eyes.

I actually kind of lean this way as well, though I've always been on the side that damage should be the number 1 most important element in judging criteria

But yeah giving it to Roy I can for sure see why someone would lean that way.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Cormiers opponet to be Fedor. I'm callin it

Didn't Fedor win a fight where he got completely fucked up just a couple weeks ago? Not sure how he'd recover so fast.
