He thought gsp must have had a spy because he was so good at defending the knee bar. This was after his last fight when condit had repeatedly tried the same thing.

Haha i forgot about the spy thing

I wasnt aware Hendo had a reputation for late shots. Every time i can remember hes always stopped when the ref gets there if not before. Because of his style theres a lot of times where he has to swarm a guy he knocked down that isnt cleanly knocked out - Babalu, Feijao, Shogun II, Boetsch... Fedor he faceplanted and hit with some arguably unnecessary shots and people still complained it was an early stoppage. A couple times hes totally KOd someone, like Shields, and they came back to win because he didnt follow up enough. So its kinda hard to ask in that split second to decide to stop hitting a guy who may or may not actually be done. Theres also been times when the guy was clearly out and Hendo stopped before the ref even got there, like the Renzo fight

The only pretty bad one is probably the Bisping one, which has been discussed plenty over the years

But yeah Palhares is worse because theres been multiple times where his opponent is screaming and clearly tapping and/or the ref is literally trying to pull him off and he wont stop maiming him

Someone appearing knocked out is not enough reason to stop fighting, you cant tell in the moment and often guys who seem like theyre totally slept like Shields (who faceplanted with his eyes rolled back) wake up and come back to win the fight if you dont follow up. Also the ref "rushing in" outside of your field of view isnt remotely the same as the ref having his hands on you trying to pry you off the other guy and you keep cranking the submission. Hendo has never hit a guy after the ref stopped him

Powerful but unlikeable black man finds big chinned white gay fantasy teen... like the rhino and the bird that sits in its mouth and eats the crumbs, or the turtle and the bird that sits on the turtles back so they look cuter, two creatures find a symbiotic relationship to the benefit of both.

It ultimately doesn't matter who wins because Conor is never going to fight either of them.

Thats a pretty bad way of determining if a fight matters

Conor would have a chance against either guy but this fight is pretty clearly gonna decide who the current best LW is

In Trump's America that's pretty much a straight up hand on heart apology.

Well thats nice.. i went from not knowing about it to forgiving him for it. I think he is a changed man
