At the UFC party I yelled "Majority Draw!" as soon as I heard the scores but before Buffer finished speaking. Friends thought I was wrong because one judge gave it to Woodley, but I held firm and insisted that Bruce Buffer just ****ed it up, though the champ keeps the belt in a draw.
Then hilarity ensues. edit: I would say the rarest outcome is a split draw

Conor has made a career of running over these muscley midget Wrestlers. He just embarrassed a guy who destroyed RDJ and you're still talking about Chad Mendes. Just admit you were wrong and move on. |

My response: Man, I lost $300 betting on Jose Aldo. After that fight, I will not doubt Conor against anyone or anything ever again, including a fight against a ****ing African Lion until he gives me a reason to doubt him. That said, I thought Eddie should be favored and I was open to the possibility that Conor could beat Eddie, but I did not think it would be that easy.

edit: this image suggests Buffer ****ed it up. Majority draw was written in the same pen as the scores. Bruce Buffer likes to make notes like which judges to read in which order, and that sharpie had the incorrect split decision. Oh, and WTF Doug Crosby? I can see a 10-8 in round 4, but round 1?!? And if you ARE going to give a 10-8 in round 1, then WTF do you think happened in round 4?

Woodley landed like 50 strikes and Thompson was a mess. He dominated him with his wrestling, and was never 'laying and praying' His was VERY active in beating the hell out of WB. I think Thompson landed 1 or 2. That's more than a significant disparity. He didn't 'rock' him, but it was pure 1 sided domination. I don't view this like boxing. A 10-8 round doesn't need a 'knockdown' in my eyes at all. I would have woodley up 10-8 in 1 and 4. I think it's a joke Wooley didn't win a unanimous decision. The most memorable moments for Thompson revolved around his incredible resilience, which was only on display because he was getting beat down hard. I hate Woodley's stand up game. He just makes it boring. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 11-15-2016 at 01:29 PM.. |

Glen needs to go back to judging school. Round 3 for Woodley? 1 or 4 not a 10-8? Cleary had it right.

Mendes exposed his ground game. Alvarez should have done better in that fight but he decided for what ever reason to box. What did he have? 1 takedown attempt, after he had already been knocked down 3 times? He even said so himself that he let Conor get to him and once he got into the ring he didn't listen to a thing that he had trained for. His plan going into the fight was to throw kicks and take the fight to the ground. Outside of the first minute of the fight he did none of that. I highly doubt you would see Khabib trying to box McGregor, not even a quarter of his game is striking. |

Machida has been suspended for 18 months retroactive to April. So, he can fight next October.
The punishment for a 1st time use of steroids is supposed to be 2 years, but he got 1.5 because he told USADA that he took the steroid-containing supplement (but didn't know it included steroids) while they were collecting his sample. It wasn't a tainted supplement, he's just a dumbass who didn't thoroughly research everything on the label.

To be fair, Conor does have a good point. Khabib fought twice this year, but before that he was out for a full 2 years from constant injuries, cancelling fights left and right. If Khabib had fought 6 times in the last 2 years he'd be undeniable, but right now Conor can easily demand that Khabib demonstrate that he can be relied on to show up for the fight.

Brazil's MMA regulators have suspended Roy Nelson for 9 months (so until June 29) and fined him $24,000 for kicking John McCarthy. I assume the suspension will be honored by all AC's. He could have gotten 2 years, but they said it was clear he didn't intend to hurt McCarthy.
