Sapo only went down because of the poke. This was looking like Esparza vs Joanna and I'm sad that Sapo didn't get to finish.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Cro Cop purposely spent 2 rounds looking bad against Gonzaga before he decided to look good in the 3rd, so the strategy checks out.

Yeah, his takedowns looked sloppy as hell and he got thrown a couple times even when he did manage to swim in. A Shameful Wrestler.

Or it could be that Askren finally fought someone who could sprawl worth a gently caress and he has nothing else to offer.

I'm not saying it isn't still likely Askren would've ended up winning that fight but up until the bullshit that fight was downright Esparzian and you're lying if you say it's not hilarious

i like ben askren but he looked bad in that fight. if you want to find a positive out of that video you can assume askren is a clean fighter and that guy was not, in that case ben did well considering he was at a disadvantage.

You can use this logic for nearly any match if you try hard enough. I don't think this makes your case look any better if you're being serious.

i am serious because it was what, 3 minutes of fighting interrupted by a thumb to the eye and the ensuing shenanigans

we have no idea how the rest of the fight would have gone because sapo's ability to defend those takedowns would diminish with his gas and it's not like he did any damage to askren

he spent the fight defending TDs and reversing them but no one did any damage till the eye poke

As fun as it was to watch Askren get sprawled on and tossed to the floor, Brazil Man did appear to be tiring from Ben's pace. Maybe he would have landed something big on Askren before he started giving up takedowns, but the tired man could've just as easily started to get wrest upon. I can see Yiury's point about this fight being indicative of nothing.
