Rivera is just so flat footed, Cruz and TJ would light him up and never get touched. I want to see him vs Cody though.

 

[Mr Cola]

If the dr called it for the eye poke would it end a draw?

 

[mercenar1e]

hes making faber pay for that poke.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yea Faber has lost this fight unless he pulls out a miracle in the next 2 and a half minutes. Don't think I've seen him have this bad of a fight in a long while.

 

[geardo]

I don't get Faber's strategy here. He's about to lose.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

Fight's really good. Jimmy should get this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I feel like he's been getting worse with each fight now.

He's getting old as shit. The competition has passed him bye. Thankfully he's not getting knocked the fuck out like Wanderlei, Chuck or Rich Franklin were at this stage. Uriah is a name gatekeeper.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Should've made it a triple threat and let this ref get involved.

Ref is the champion of the universe.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I don't get Faber's strategy here. He's about to lose.

He has no strategy anymore in the game.

 

[TheTylerRob]

It's okay that your sport is boring guys. At least its not fucking stupid like wrestling. Soccer's boring too.

 

[Obliterator]

Booing shouldn't be done simply because a fight has become a chest match. 2 fighters of similar style and matching caliber will cancel each other like they've doing from the start, feints are thrown as much, be it from footwork and strikes because they need the opportunity to find a opening. Stuff like that passes way over the head of many, many fight fans too.

Oh I don't disagree on that. It bothers me when fans boo a competitive fight. They aren't out there stalling, its just a lot of the fight has been somewhat neutral positions without a major momentum swing so it feels a bit slow.

 

[Limit]

There's not enough eyepokes in WWE these days. That skill needs to be brought back.

 

[FStop7]

Poor form on Faber not offering a handshake after 2 fouls.

 

[gun_haver]

this is a fun fight

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Ric Flair style eye poke.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Faber aggressively run up to Rivera, gets within a yard of him and paws at the air with his fists. My cat does the same thing if he sees my neighbours tiny dog.

 

[Forkball]

This card is bringing out a lot of retarded wrestling fans.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

This is probably the worst I've seen Faber fight in quite a while



I've seen as much MMA as basically anyone can.

This is still a boring fight

Booing shouldn't be done simply because a fight has become a chest match. 2 fighters of similar style and matching caliber will cancel each other like they've been doing from the start. Feints are thrown as much, be it from footwork or strikes, because they need the opportunity to find a opening. Stuff like that passes way over the head of many, many fight fans too. They simply don't get it and just ask themselves why they don't go all out. That's what happens when you don't have the logic nor the experience of being in the ring yourself.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Where are the tables, dammit?!

For the record, I'm not saying all wrestling fans are retarded, I'm saying the ones that show and boo when it is unjustified are.

MMA fans can be just as bad.

 

[SallyIsNow]

How come they don't go for roll-ups? Is it too advanced?

 

[gun_haver]

that's clear, don't worry. it's all in good fun pal.

 

[cchum]

No contest. Doesn't go against either.

 

[KAP151]

Jimmy, easily.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yea Faber has just not had a game plan this entire fight. It's sad to see.

 

[kiguel182]

Boring ass fight.

Give me Punk!

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

How come they don't go for roll-ups? Is it too advanced?

In Faber's case, the judges would see him get a hand full of tights.

 

[melonrabbit]

........ok I miss MMA GAF

Faber has the making of a strong heel.

There is no better heel today than Miz. That was a compliment!

 

[TheTylerRob]

I'm just throwing feints, y'all don't know my strategy

 

[DMczaf]

Punk time!

 

[Discotheque]

rivera for sure.

 

[JB1981]

What a shitty ass fight

 

[Syder]

How come they don't go for roll-ups? Is it too advanced?

None of these carnies even try moonsaults.

 

[Alucard]

Ouch. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those Rivera kicks. Damn.

 

[Aiii]

Faber murdered his eye.

 

[gun_haver]

well that fight was anticlimatic.

but next up is the main show

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Boring ass fight.

Give me Punk!

You think that's going to be any better???
Really???

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Solid win for Rivera but I didn't see enough to make me think he can hang with the top of the division. Dom Cruz would run circles around him (literally). I think he missed an opportunity to really go for the kill against a wounded opponent. Finishing Uriah Faber, even an old Uriah Faber, would have been a hell of a notch on his belt.

 

[Dark Ninja]

This is Vince's exposure to MMA

 

[Obliterator]

Man this fight really showed Faber his significantly slowed down. It was starting to show over his last few fights but he seemed really off tonight

 

[Wallach]

rivera easily, faber did absolutely nothing that entire fight

 

[rtcn63]

Faber just doesn't have it any more. His hands keep breaking and he's getting on in years. Also the measles coursing through his veins.

 

[LoserMakesGood]

That was a good fight. I would watch UFC more if there were fights light that more often. Would love to have seen it go 5 rounds.

 

[Tom Nook]

Both went the distance.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

You know I know they can't but I'd pay anything to see Punk come out to McMahon's theme. Just have it blaring as he comes out would be hilarious. You got no chance. No chance in hell. lmao

Yup and we all saw that decision coming.

 

[jett]

If/when CM Punk gets destroyed, will he carry on with this UFC business?

 

[Infernostew]

1 more fight and everyone who doesn't watch MMA fucks off. Can't wait.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Rivera has this.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

he threw around the same strikes each round lol
