Looks like all 3 judges had it 3-1 for Rory going into the 3rd:
so much fun. what a fuckin night.
it can't be 12-6 when you are on your back, by definition. they have to be coming straight down from above, which is impossible from your back. those were 3-9, or 9-3, depending on your viewpoint.Quote:

He landed like 6 of these in about 45 seconds and still couldn't knock him out or get a stoppage
I don't give a fuck what the scorecards said.... All you needed to do was look Rory's face at the start of the 5th to know who was winning that fight. In hindsight if Rory won 3-2 I think the public wouldn't have bought that result.Quote:

fun sidenote on what could have been: if Aldo had fought, his entrance singer was going to be Rihanna, singing Run This Town.
Excellent night of fighting. Chad n Conor have all my respect.
Rory needs to get out of MMA fast, he's just not rugged. He brings no god given talent, hard training and juice with lousy genetics = Rory.
Robbie Lawlor lost a casual fan. What a PED HGH fueled, classless, unprofessional savage. I just wanna see him absolutely pulverized in his next few fights.
Wow best entrance ever. Who was the country western guy?Quote:

Rory like I said before the judges scorecards were out won 1,3,4. It wasnt that close. Since I already lost my parlay I was rooting for Lawler who impressed the shit out of me with his take down defense.Quote:

I dont understand what fight you guys were watching. If I had to give Lawlor any round besides the 2nd it was the 1st but that would have been a stretch. Going into the last round RL had to get a finish to win that was pretty clear and RM just quit. The punch didnt knock him down. He sat down after realizing his nose was shattered. RL on the other hand is a warrior. Hes fighting to the death out there. I guess its just hard to be Canadian and tough at the same time because Rory was the better fighter imo.Quote:

A testament to UFC stubbornness.

Also, Lets also not forget that Lawler broke Rory's nose in round two. Had he not it may have been a different fight. Still makes you wonder what an effective plan to beat Lawler at this point look like.
As amazing as Connor's standup was he looked horrible on the ground. If Mendez hadn't gone for the sub he might have been able to recover. I can guarantee that Aldo will be focusing on his takedowns for the next six months as it's game over if he can get Connor down.

Disagree here. It was only after he had his nose broken last night that he actually took overt the fight. Rory got beat down badly in round 2 and came out with a great round 3. A fighter without heart would have been done after round 2.Quote:

I think his nose was broken in round 1 but I agree with everything else.Quote:

The only way Rory would have been owned harder is if OSA would have found him alone in the locker room.
Here's Tristrar's legendary mma coach Firas Zahabi doing another break down video. The same coach in Rory's corner last night. W/o his coaching he would not of beat Woodley or been ahead of Lawler. IMHO If Lawler's or someone similar is in your weight class you either put him on his back all night, switch weight classes or find a new career. You do not trade blows w/ Lawler for 5 rounds on 2 or 3 occasions. Rory's a perfect Bellator candidate.
Can't believe he shares these publicly tbh.
There's stuff in these some UFC fighters don'y know about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db4T5u72JGk
Rory didn't know til he hired him.
Ehn, I think most of us have bigger fish to fry with Dana than that. EG fighter salaries, nepotism, Tito Ortiz, etc.
But overall there is simply no denying that hes done wonders for the sport.
Last week it was the guy who discovered pole vault girl, now this. It could happen...Which fights did you see? Tell us some juicy insider stuff.Quote:

After meeting Dana in person a couple of times, he was always quiet and very humble. Maybe this was before the Ferititta's bailed him out of trouble. Sorry I can't elaborate more on that, but will leave you with:
http://martialarts.about.com/od/mmaa...ebiography.htm
White eventually attended the University of Massachusetts for two years, but dropped out. Along the way, he launched a boxing program for inner-city children and started a boxaerobics business that did quite well in the late 1990's. That is, until the Irish mob reportedly wanted their cut, which prompted him to leave for Vegas.
(This should give you an idea why he ran to the Ferititta's)
Now years later the guy is all over every UFC event showing face. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the guy as he has had a long struggle to get to where he is now. I no longer follow this UFC much, but again I'm very happy to see him become VERY successful.
Years later, now that Dana is even more of the front man for the UFC, I probably fucked up splitting up with my girl looking back.
Sorry if this isn't to relevant for this thread, but I felt like sharing and shedding a little light on his past with PFA. For people who did not know this.
Firas was the one telling Rory to keep his distance last night between rounds. So Rory did exactly what his corner wanted. So I'm not sure how you can claim Firas is the reason he was winning and then at the same time say he lost because he kept his distance....Quote:

I'm not saying the fix was in, it wasn't. BUT There's a interview where Mendes talks about nobody wanting to see Aldo Mendes 3 and for that he's thankful for Mcgregor etc. This was before Aldo pulled out.
1. If Mendes wins it Aldo Mendes 3
2. Mendes talks about his n Conors love of money
3. Mendes, Faber, TJ are pro UFC as it gets, they're never crying about pay or thinking about leaving the UFC. They want the UFC to be successful, no doubt.
4 If I'm Dana or Lorenzo I'm confident Mendes Faber and crew knows how nice a Conor victory will be for everyone without any weird winks or smokey back rooms, bundles of cash.
I'll just say this, Mendes made no deliberate effort to lose but Mendes purposely gave 95% and not 100% and let the cards fall where they may. Mendes is way harder to hit and he could of safely kept Conor on his back all of the second round.
Did you guys see the normally passive and docile Herb Dean set up a possible point deduction from Mendes in case of a close decision. No fixes or kickbacks, just everyone knew which side of their toast is buttered.
It would be best if you stopped making MMA posts, FPS_Russia.
For the recordQuote:
