I'm doing great so far, but it looks like Pyle won't be able to pull this one off. Very close fight though.

What does everyone else think about the Pyle/Almeida decision? I had it in the background and couldn't really tell anything but that it seemed close... I was mostly focused on the Bellator fights.

I had it for Almeida but it couldve gone either way, definitely not 30-27 like two judges scored it. First round was a toss up, second went to Almeida, and third to Pyle

I thought Pyle was edging out Almeida each round (other than the third) until Almeida did something to try to steal the round. He got a good flurry to end one round, and just a takedown to end the other, which I thought would be enough to make the judges give Almeida the rounds. I was wrong, and I think they made the correct choice, giving Pyle the fight. I'm not so sure about 30-27 though, I'll have to rewatch it.

What i meant by "other than the third" was that he wasn't edging him out, he was dominant.

Great round for Barboza, he's winning this fight. Great striker.

Some of these techniques in round two of Barboza/Njokuani are badass, even if they are whiffing :)

White towel on the head of Barboza in between rounds looked very nice, wonder if it was custom fitted.

Barboza landed that great spinning heel kick. Dude is an animal. I hope he can finish in this round (i wish he was throwing more leg kicks).

Hell yes! Barboza is the man, some of the sickest striking I've seen in a LONG time in mma. Too close for comfort though, maybe Njokuani is better than I thought he was, but I thought Edson would walk through him.
