not so sure about the judges decision. I tought Johnson won, Dariush couldnt adjust to Johnson style. Dariush needs to be more agressive, his striking was more technical and he landed clear shots but he lacked  quantity.

Wasn't gonna log on and comment tonight butttttt had to say 2 things. 

1) Seriously how stupid was Tim Johnson to go for that TD at the end?

and

2) Holy **** that was a bad call giving Dariush the nod.

What judge in their right mind scores that as a victory for Dariush?  MJ dominated all three rounds and stopped Dariush from getting takedowns.  How in the **** do you score that for Dariush?!?!?

I guess it's partially MJ's fault though ... it's not like he went after the fight ... he play around, went to sleep in the third and didn't really imprint on the fight. Still awful decision, but man, with MMA judging you don't risk it ... you should NEVER feel like you're winning the fight. Coasters pay.

I'm now 6-2 picking Johnson. Guessing I'm one of the few that's having decent success in picking his fights haha.

But I do agree, Johnson won the first two rounds EASILY. Round 3 was a toss up. I had it 30-27 Johnson, and I picked Dariush. 

Now, for the main event... War OSP!

About McMann's fight: do you guys now get why I say that her olympic medal is essentially worthless when compared to Ronda's? McMann gets to be a standout female wrestler because female wrestling, in general, still has a long way to go.

So can either of these 2 take one of the POTNs from Nunes or Brunson or FOTN from Borg/Herrera?
