Not sure why would you get a BJJ black belt for punching people in the face, though.

I know. But retiring with a win would be better than two straight KO losses.

At no point in that fight we’re caraways takedown attempts desperate they were making stamann work judges would understand that if they had one training session and did a few minutes of sprawling before

The guy getting held against the fence shouldn’t get scored for him. As much as I don’t like Johnson doing it that won him the fight so how is it any different for Caraway when he’s actually landing upricuts while doing it

I have a theory in a close fight that’s about to go to decision jump on the bet in play and bet on the person who doesn’t deserve to win. Mma judges are doing this crap every week lol

we get it, Spud. you thought Caraway won. You must be completely outraged by the way you're still talking about it.

It sucks when the judges don't see thing our way. I thought it was close, but Stanmann was landing more and doing more damage (up until the last seconds fo the fight) even if backpedalling a lot, and I know it doesn't mean too much, but FightMetrics agree with that.

Pretty interested to see how CB looks tonight. I think he's long been a talented guy with a lot of potential, but at 34 and coming off an elevator injury I don't know what to expect.

Hoping Lombard wins this one.

Was tthinking of picking Dollaway all week but his chin is so bad, he looks like he could get hurt by a strong gust of wind.

Not that Lombard has a better chin at this point in his career.

Basically whoever lands first. Picked Dolloway due to better distance management.
