UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

When you say I am the underdog guy... I usually make a bunch of underdog picks. I dont know why I didnt do it this time. ITs so weird.... 

I just expected more from this card than I should.  I am usually hoping for carnage but this card had so many dominant picks -- that I had to choose them. 

@FistyMckickerChoke - just know I upvoted you because I feel the same way. But over the years I just gave up in trying to fight the UFC and try to understand Dana White and the judges and organization more.  More $$$ profitable that way.

How do they see the fights  ?  What does Dana White think about decisions and judging  and even Joe Rogan has said many times -- he tried to get in DW ear about it.  
These commissions are a necessary evil to make the UFC legitimate.  Yea -- its part of what made Boxing so corrupt.  these guys put on a suit and tie and look important but they are paid under the table to sway one way or another if it comes down to a decision to be made.

Why do you think --several fighters refuse to fight in Arizona and Houston unless you are a native in those parks .... and preferred decision fighter.  refs and judging are pretty bad

^ Even fighters from Texas won't fight there anymore. Steve Petersen's from Texas but said the commission is so bad he will never fight there again. I don't blame him, something like 7 of his 9 losses are by close decisions in Texas.

I believe Dana White knew how corrupt the commissions and judges in boxing were and wanted to protect his fighters as much as possible...

 he made this a mantra with all the fighters to stop looking for decisions and focus on finishing fights and execute properly. 

I think the reason why everyone think Barber fight was a robbery was that Dominique Cruz said, she was doubling her up on strikes in round 2, that is simply false. Rewatch the fight and you will see that the strikes were quite even. Maycee landed some nice elbows  in the clinch. I think that what swayed the judges to her favour,  there a good argument that Maycee did slight more damage in round 2. And if you don’t include the grapping for some reason like judge do sometime. A Maycee 29-28 win ain’t wrong. 

I’m just playing devil advocate, trying to see why the judges score it that way. I don’t agree with it. So hey it was probley a robbery as everyone agree Maverick won the 2nd, But I thought the second round was kinda close. But I do think judges need to be more constant. If you score the 2nd round for Barber with those criteria. Then with the same criteria  Sandhagen arguably won every round as Sandhagen did more damage in every round with the stand up.while In really Tj took the first and 3rd with his grappling

Texas only allows judges from Bizarro world, opposite decisions only 

Read earlier someone said team alpha male gym paid off the judges last night lol

Team Aplha Male does always seem to get the benefit of the bad judging, kinda strange. Between Song Yadong, now Maycee and Paiva (close fight) they never seem to get robbed.

Who do you guys think gall should fight Next. I think Abdul razak allhassan

Gall vs Condit?

I thought Abdul died after his fight with Khaos

Seems to be a pretty popular opinion that TJ or Sandhagen will be champ by the end of next year. Lmao. I'd bet a good amount of money that neither will ever be champion. Or never 'again' be champion in Dillashaw's case.

It's obvious who won this fight and it wasn't Maycee Barber and this seems unanimous among fans

Some people have lost their minds, Sandhagen didn't do anything outside of round 2. I guess circling away and counter leg locks wins rounds now?
