The moral victory is that I was completely right that he was going to get creamed, it just didn't loving matter.

Cory is fighting like an rear end in a top hat and I hope this gaming rear end bullshit loses. It sucks to watch. I know exactly why he's doing it but it loving sucks.

That loving sucked

"That isn't how Corey Sandhagen wanted to win"

gently caress off, he's been desperately avoiding even pretending to fight for three rounds. He was extremely keen to win that way.

man, there are criticisms one can make of Sandhagen as a fighter but I'm not sure "conflict avoidant" is a good way to describe the guy who can't stop throwing flying knees and liver shots

Generally no. In fact, prior to that fight, it would be impossible. Then the fight that just happened happened, where he popped the worst jabs you've ever seen and spammed bad takedowns while hoping the cut got worse. This was after losing every striking exchange in the first round.

It's a legit way to win and I get why he did it. It loving sucks to watch, though.
