re: UFC 131 Dos Santos vs. Carwin

Wow, interesting scores. I thought Young won the 2nd round for sure. Dustin might have stole it with the late takedown.

promise ring is not quick on his feet. i will say that this is some of the first ground and pound i have seen in a while. since greg jackson's philosophy has become testament, it seems to be phasing out.

good fights early on...

this fight is going to be badass.

eta: massenzio v sozynski

nick ring opeened this guys nose up between the eyes with some brutal gnp. fight before that had a little blood too. krystof was pretty decent striking, but couldnt capitalize on a lighter opponent and won with an easy decision. pretty embarrassing outing for him. think back to the kendall grove v maia fight.

less than 10 seconds left in first and weidemann gets a standing guillotine.

fricker couldnt hold on 5 more seconds???

that good knee step it up well

Haplo, was the Ring guillotine in the 2nd a prediction of yours? I ask cause sherdog says he won by RNC in the 3rd.....just wondering.

i have no idea why i wrote that. i dont think it was a prediction, it must have been a horribly inaccurate recap.

What do I need to do to get that previously posted link to work? TIA

He is EASILY the best HW in the world. If they had stopped the Brock fight like they should have

Jesus man, you usually have intelligent things to say

You stop a fight if the fighter is taking unnecessary damage and can't protect himself. Not because a guy takes a couple of unanswered shots. The aesthetics actually have nothing to do with the medical/professional decision to stop a fight or let it go

He came back and WON the fight. There is no better indicator that a fighter is ok than him coming back and beating up the other guy.

Great job by that ref
