it worked for him again, he almost finished wonderboy at the end

he did but he also stopped doing what he usually does and just went for it because even him and his corner probably thought he was about to lose that fight

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This might be worth watching for the likelihood more bombs will be dropped on both main eventers than that entire 25 minutes.

The only way it makes sense is if they score it like sherdog did, where they made round 1 and 2 10-10 rounds. I could see that since almost nothing happened. I still though wonderboy should have had both of those, but they did so little a 10-10 isn't horrible.

Sherdog are retarded Judging criteria aren't that hard.

1,2 and 4 neither guy clearly won the grappling or striking, Wonderboy controlled and was more aggressive (and was the more active striker - landing more and throwing more).
Round 3 you could argue that Woodley won based off the takedown. It would be a poo poo argument because he did approximately 0 with his takedown except rest, and then promptly got punched more than any other round by Thompson.
Round 5 was clearly Woodley but in the scheme of things 49 -46 Thompson would have made more sense than Woodley winning. 48-47 would have made the only sense if you think the takedown won the round which is fine too.

In no possible way did Woodley win 3 rounds.

Even in the most one-eyed possible judging like you're Tyrone's mum or something you'd go

R1 - Thompson
R2- Thompson
R3 -Woodley
R4- Thompson
R5 - Woodley (10-8)

and you get a draw.

In no way could you possibly score rounds 1, 2 or 4 for Woodley and have it make any goddamn sense.

Tyron Woodley is on FS1 right now and absolutely nothing about his mood or demeanor says he was just in a title fight, or that he won a title fight, or that he even drank his morning cup of java yet.

Honestly, aside from Maia, who else is left a WW? Thompson is probably gonna be banished to the purgatory of UFC Fight Nights for that performance. Lawler is MIA and it's still too early. Condit has one foot out the door on his career.

gently caress it, Magny/Masdaval for a shot at the belt.

This was true before the event, during the vent, and after the event.

Why Maia is getting hosed over I will never udnerstand, hell add Jacare to that too.

what's their issue with BJJ Gods and passing them over for title shots?

Lawler said he's back to training. But he'll probably lose to Woodley again.

Maia might beat Woodley. Masvidal has a good shot at beating Woodley cause on his best night Masvidal is really good and he won't pussyfoot around for like 30 minutes or whatever just happened tonight. Maia's game could get shutdown, Lawler could get knocked out again, Masvidal is a wild card.

i liked him talking about how for the lawler and first thompson fights he had a torn groin and his foot was all messed up and his camps were awful and for this one he was totally healthy and had no issues with his camp at all and this is what we got

how is anyone viewing rounds one and two as 10-10 or either way because nothing happened? 3 was woodleys due to ground damage and he almost killed thompson in the fifth. it's not the worst decision ever. it was however one of the worst fights ever.
