Saw the ridiculous cut on Struve, and decided I NEEDED to see this fight.

I've never seen the logic in "that should have been a split decision". That's like, "I can see two judges thinking Franklin won... but three?!"Chuck Earns Cheese wrote:Yeah the Wandy fight should have atleast been a split.tehgiftofgab wrote:^^ epic.
and w. silva was robbed IMO, if he had to lose it shoulda at least been an SD but i honestly thought silva won that
I had it 29-28 Wanderlei, but it was an incredibly close fight. I also think I may have been the only person in the world to give Wanderlei the first round, as I felt like he had the only substantial offense of the round- the takedown, followed by a pretty sustained period of time in a dominant position. Franklin only got an advantageous position courtesy of Wanderlei trying to pull guard for the guillotine, and he was unable to maintain any dominant position.
I have to go back and watch everything else save for a couple fights.

It's actually more like, "I can see Franklin winning two of the rounds...but all 3?!"BigCat8 wrote:I've never seen the logic in "that should have been a split decision".

I can understand that point of view. But "Unanimous Decision" refers to the fact that all three judges awarded the fight to Franklin, and doesn't take their score into account in the slightest.Chuck Earns Cheese wrote:It's actually more like, "I can see Franklin winning two of the rounds...but all 3?!"BigCat8 wrote:I've never seen the logic in "that should have been a split decision".

According to this article at MMAJunkie.com, it was 29-28 on all three cards in favor of Franklin. It's not the score I came up with, but it's a score I understand.

hell yeah, mir would catch lesnar's head in the craziest submission if he bullrushed him. plus, i don't think lesnar is that stupid.manwhore wrote:fuck yeah, can't wait!
and as green as lesnar is, i still anticipate his fight because i have no idea what the hell he will do. he has that unpredictability right now. like that bullrush on herring! i mean wtf.
maybe mir will change that but for now he is a big draw for that reason.
thiago better destroy gsp. we got a 7 blunt bet on the gsp thiago match and i got my 7 on alvez.
