Maybe it was one of those ones you needed to watch on TV to get a better impression. I thought he looked very poor and the split decision was a joke.

Personally mate I thought he was looking good. But that's just my opinion mate. One mans opinion in this sport is pretty much worthless.

Have you watch this:

DrPhil

I know what you mean, but if I go to a live event I usually record it at home so I can watch it again. You often get a different perspective. A few times I've seen a decision differently at home than how I saw it at the time. Marcus Davis vs Dan Hardy, and Alan Belcher vs Akiyama for example. Both I had a firm opinion of after seeing them live, both I swung the other way after seeing it on TV when I got home.

I forgot to record the Nottingham fight though so haven't seen it again.

Really enjoyed watching George Sot get beat up. Am I the only one who thinks he has the physique of an old man? His pecs are half way down his body and abs look like they are covered with blamange

mooperman

yeah he certainly didnt have the physiques of a professional athlete....

As you (and a few others have said) was nice to see him repeatedly dropped on his backside though....

DrPhil

Always noticed Georges odd physique too.

I thought he would nave given Ross a tougher fight though, he didn't seem to try that often to get it to the ground and the one time he did get it there he was a real threat.

I wonder if the heat between them made him want to stand and bang, if so it was a huge mistake. Pearson is a different class on his feet and it was a wonderfully one sided affair.

That's Sots 3rd loss in a row now and apparently he was very upset in the back afterwards. He was supposed to attend the post fight conference but didn't show.

Flimber

He's got swimmers-style pecs, if anything.

was thinking the same looked like a 60 year old

Hector Lombard looked more like the fighter we were led to believe he is and those Sulpex's from Rustam Khabilov were scary. I do wonder if these type of throws should be made illegal in MMA as they are potentially very dangerous.


EDIT: Oh and Colton Smith, just what the UFC need, another boring Lay n Pray Wrestler
