not cool, Mighty Mouse genuinely doesn't want to fight Dodson so that means they need to rematch ASAP

He does make a really good foil for Mighty Mouse. He's also pretty much the only guy who can match his speed.

Dodson did pretty well too, he gassed really bad in the fourth and fifth though to be fair Might Mouse was working the body a little bit, but he managed to drop the champ I think two or three times.

He did. The Mouse bounced straight back to his feet, because he seems to actually be made of rubber. Mighty Mouse wore him down and contained him by the end of the fight, but even the last two were really competitive. That whole event was pretty drat good, actually.

My theory is that MM's neck muscles are so strong that when Dodson punched him he was able to bring his whole fw body along for the ride and there was no neck snapping. Full body rolling with the punches..

Now that I have this dating robot I can take it easy.
Yeah that fight was super good, and Dodson looked really good and competitive for most of it. It's just that when Demetrious took over towards the end, it was such a one sided rear end kicking that that's what most people probably remember when they think of the fight.

I thought at the time it was pretty justifiable for it to go either way. I expect there's been less controversy about it than there has been many decisions because people tend to get less agitated when the guy who got the decision is the guy that was kicking rear end in the last round.

That's an interesting theory, though the most recent controversial title fight decision I can think of flies in the face of that (Hendricks Lawler II).

I thought the fight was close but that Mighty Mouse won the fight like 2.6 rounds to 2.4, but a. I like Mighty Mouse and dislike Dodson so that probably biased my opinion, and b. I am bad at scoring fights in general and am even worse at doing so live I've found

The ending really does influence your memory of the whole. I rewatched MacDonald/Barao recently and was really surprised that it was so close for the first two and half rounds. Michael hit Barao with some really goddamn good shots, before gassing, messing up his timing to his combos, gassing further and getting finished. I just remembered him losing the entire fight.

I remember him nearly Travis Browneing his way to a KO when Barao shot in. I also remember him spamming the same combination over and over again even when Barao figured it out.

I read somewhere that if you watch something for a period of time like a round or a fight, and then are asked to describe it afterwards, the majority of the time the only things that get described are the one thing that was most notable during the time period, and whatever happened at the end. So I guess the best formula for winning rounds is get one flashy moment in at some point, and then win the last 30 seconds.

Also Greg Jackson. I've been amazed how many fights my memory had completely wrong. I remembered Machida/Ortiz being competitive, probably due to that nearly, sorta triangle choke in the third. The rest of the fight was Machida punching Tito, getting out of his way, then punching him some more. It looked like Ortiz had sent over a list of everything he was going to try. drat Machida's a beast.

My favorite part of that fight was when Machida took him down with a bodylock because Ortiz's feet flew into the air like gravity'd been reversed

It seems that someone glossed over the Hendo story about what happened when Joe Rogan was at a comedy show getting heckled and Hendo was there. If no one has it actually copied somewhere I'll muddle through it from memory.

There's a lot of favourite parts to that fight. As someone here said, fighters come and go, careers have ups and downs and fortune is unpredictable, but laughing at Tito Ortiz is forever. Except that brief period after the Bader fight where we were cheering him on.

Nowhere near the first. Wanderlei knocked someone out with plum knees at ufc 20. In fact, clinch/plum knees are so common in early UFC that it makes me wonder exactly how Rich was so unprepared for them.

Could it have been that Andy was really good? I remember Franklin talking about how hard he trained his clinch work for the rematch, then he got trounced almost as badly.
