**** that fight

After being poked in the eye twice "on accident," you knew that eye was going to be attacked.

Wouldnt give him a title shot for that snooze fest.

LOL. I actually thought the same thing during the fight. Too bad it wasn't 5 rounds.

Pettis definitely has problems with his ground game, no doubt, but Alvarez was not trying to finish or hurt Pettis at all. I don't mind fights that are dominated by grappling if they are trying to get into position to hurt or finish their opponent.

I'd deny Alvarez a title shot out of spite for that crap, let him be a gatekeeper for a while, and if he loses a few fights, cut his ass.

I agree with you 100% on this, man. Unfortunately for us, the judges score takedowns even if they don't lead to anything but control, which ****ing blows. However, it also means that if you're one of the most dynamic kickers in the game, you need to ****ing learn how to defend TDs because people are going to resort to that against you.

Pettis was barely taken down. It was just holding/stalling on the cage while not threatening at all. meh

Here we go...

He spent the 3rd round on his back. :(

Even if I didn't have any rooting interest going into this fight, Cruz coming out to Nate Dogg's "Nobody Does it Better" then Cypress Hill's "How I Could Just Kill a Man" immediately followed up by Dillashaw coming out to some garbage RHCP would firmly put me in Cruz' corner.

As it stands, I'm rooting for Cruz anyways.

Who do you think Urijah wants to win? Haha.

Somebody has cup issues...

Cruz is very slick

I don't know who won that 1st round
