Russian sanctions strike again

Love Paddy's defence: Stick chin as far forward as possible at all times. Him Vs anyone with KO power is a bad day for him

Jared Gordon is underrated. He really impressed me with his grappling considering Paddy is 6'0 and gets big af.

Looks like Dana is getting tired of all the snoozefest grapplers and fence huggers. He can't tell judges and refs what to do but he sure as hell can change the roster any way he pleases, and it's bad news for all the Dagestani crotch sniffers out there. You better mix it up like Oliveira does with recklessness, punches, and submissions, or else all this horsesh*t squeezing of the opponent for 5 minutes straight will get you nowhere.

I do see his point. If you can't entertain the audience then fuk off to Eagle FC where no one is going to watch you or care about you.

agreed, Dana is based

I looked up Jared Gordon's height and it says he's 5'9, it lists Paddy at 5'10. Jared Gordon looks like he's 5'6, 5'7 at most lol.

Maybe he did a Shane Carwin and cut height.

Russians dont deserve to win lol. Judge did the right thing.

Nothing was wrong imo. Jan had first three 10-9 and Ankalaev had 4&5 10-9. Polish power deserved to take the belt home. Dana wasn't mad about that fight, something else was bothering him (could have been that Paddy wasn't as good as the hype and he recognised he lost a new McGregor).

sorry dude i think you're crazy if you think Jan deserved that decision. he spent the last 2 rounds doing absolutely nothing.

sucks cause he was a couple leg kicks from a TKO.

Fair enough. Right back at you though if you think Ankalaev won that fight. You seem to have recency bias as when you dissect the fight and looking at each round separately, Ankalaev was 3 seconds away from getting TKO'd while standing up due to his legs not carrying him like you mentioned. At no point was Jan close to getting KO'ed on the ground. We've seen it's about damage in recent UFC events, not about holding someone up against the cage.

R1 - quite even but Jan started off with a couple of good leg kicks. This round was the closest one but I gave it to Jan 10-9
R2 - Jan demolished the leg the whole round, Ankalaev limping. Absolutely no question 10-9 Jan
R3 - Ankalaevs leg rekt more and more, forced to switch stances and the other leg almost rekt as well. Dude was very close to being TKO'ed while standing as he could barely move on the legs. Easy round for Jan 10-9
R4 - 2 minutes after start Ankalaev finally gets a TD and he was on top for the next 3 minutes. 10-9 Ankalaev
R5 - Jan stumbled and fell, Ankalaev on top and controlled for the rest of the round. Last minute I'll give props as he started landing but at no point was Jan close to being finished. 10-9 or arguably 10-8 Ankalaev

How in the right, sober mind could you say someone who saw Jan winning is crazy is beyond me. Happy to hear your explanation though.

you are right. its not insane to think Jan won that. i jumped the gun.

[Schnitzl]

you are right. its not insane to think Jan won that. i jumped the gun.

No you are right, I'm defending Jan too much.

[IronILLinois]

No you are right, I'm defending Jan too much.

i can see it. optics were bad but i can still see it. just wasn't satisfied with the fight. respect to the fighters though.

Dana ****ting on them was a POS move.
