And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
after that fight i think mickey gall could too

as someone who doesn't like tyron woodley as a person or a fighter at all i can say that y'all's hate of him to the point of blind irrationality is genuinely impressive

Well Woodley could easily double him across the cage I'm sure, but if he let's Conor control his movement (which is very likely imo) and play patty-cake against the cage he'll get lit up.

or, alternatively, the guy who has been hit hard and clean by every single person he's ever fought including the guy he knocked out in 13 seconds would take at least one punch to the face that has turned the lights out for robbie lawler, who had a fight with melvin manhoef you may have seen.

and you're saying 'he'd get lit up' about a guy who just proved that if a long stance guy kicks low at him he'll catch it, dump you and attempt to end your life with some significant power if he doesn't just power double the guy who got wrestled by nate diaz straight away and effortlessly.

Tyron Woodley gave an interview about how he is disappointed in himself and wasn't countering and pressing when he needed to and needs to do more in the future. Stephen Thompson gave an interview about how he could have maybe been more aggressive but he picked Woodley apart, controlled the octagon the whole fight and is pleased with his performance and judges are crazy.

Stephen Thompson is the worst and I hope Neil Magny destroys him.

I like the idea of Conor fighting Woodley after talking Nate up as a freakishly huge giant of a man.

Conor needs to fight Tony first though since Khabib lost.

just cancel maia/masvidal and give maia his shot. if woodley wins that then he's earned a shot at nick diaz.

There really isn't a fight for tyron right now...jorge and mail are the only top 10 guys on win streaks, if lost Rory and didn't sign larkin, you got uh...magny and stun gun

I guess he could fight Nick or conor , or wait for maia/Jorge winner

Yeah, Welterweight isn't the shark tank is used to be a few years ago. Aside from dudes with win streaks, fighters either moved weight classes (Hendricks, GSP, Gastelum), no longer fight in the UFC (MacDonald, Shields, Fitch, Benson), are considering retirement (Condit), or are irrelevant to the title picture right now (everyone else).

There were three of them in three different weight classes. Toro, T-Minus, and El Matador.

Nah, not even close. It wasn't that bad of a fight. Mir/Crocop probably holds that honor.

Worse than a heavyweight gasfest. Those only go 3 rounds and at least have a single round of action.

I've been closely following MMA for about 4.5 years. It was by far the worst title fight I've ever seen, and one of the 10 worst fights of any kind that I've ever seen. Grizzled veterans who have been following the sport longer have said there have been worse title fights but its probably one of the 5 worst title fights in the history of the sport.

There were 11 total strikes landed by both men combined in the first round, and 16 in the second. The third and fifth rounds are the only times where anything actually happened in the fight.

imo it was a draw i had it the same as the middle scorecard but that guy clearly re-wrote his scores and used tipex and stuff on the score and changed his mind to make it a draw again to be a rascal troll. Anyway who loving cares who deserved the win

Even that is stretching the conventional definition of a 'strike' since they were mostly tapping each other in the chest to make it look like they were doing something without risking attempting to punch to the head
