I didn't see what the judges have but I thought Lawler was down three to one going into the 5th.

Bermudez vs Stephens was a great fight too.

Maybe I'm crazy but the knockout of Mendez just didn't look right at all to me. He had Connor on the ground pounding him with elbows for most of the round. He tried a guillotine choke that failed and they stood up. To Connor's credit he jumped right on him, but shortly before the knockdown and stoppage Mendez just dropped his hands completely down almost like he was looking for a punch that would take him down and he IMMEDIATELY just covered and it was over. When they got back up Mendez was fresh and hadn't taken any punishment really at all that round. He did take a couple of shots but nothing that would have led him to just drop both hands to his waist and slowly move to the side with his chin up. It just didn't look quite natural...especially after seeing how technically sound Mendez fought against Aldo.

And many times the wrestlers are slowed by respect of the strike

It showed in this fight but you cant really bring it up or you are labeled a McGregor hater. Chad was classy about but far from the guy ive seen even in the Aldo fights.
It worked out for the best though. I really didnt want another DC situation. |

Me too, but I also thought one of the rounds I gave Lawler was close, so I figured it was either tied or Lawler had to have a finish.
Anyway, I saw the fight with my brothers (we get together for one UFC a year), and this was the single greatest UFC event I have ever seen. It was incredible, and I'm annoyed that I'll have to wait 3 or 4 months for it to show up on fightpass so that I can see the two main events while sober.

Thats exactly what I had, but I wasn't sure about 4. As it turned out, the judges had 4 for Rory, which is fine.
