UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Craig

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

solid card 

It weird how all 3 judges gave Parkin round 3, it a bad round robbery and if it they score it proply it was a 29-28 decision of Marchardo, It’s very sus, inept judges and arguable corruption 

Marcardo derseve the win, he did more damage in round 1 and 3, the commesion need to do better. Being inept isn’t an excuse for being bad

the amount of people who were picking Leavitt and Alexander really shocked me. When I saw the tape the best i could see Leavitt doing is losing a UD. As for Alexander I saw that KO coming a mile away from just watching the tape. Alexander is a point fighting kickboxer, he wasn't going to be able to stay safe for 15 minutes. He's a runner he's a track star!

^ shut up you picked Chad Anheliger and out here trying to be some shaman?

Like picking mma isn't 50/50. Get some more cards under your belt 1st before you go holier than thou.

@BNASTY Saragih lost anshul jubli who would most likely get easily knocked by Lucas. 
Jeka barely proved his worth, he hasn’t beat anybody formidable until today. 
No one saw it coming after him completely losing that whole round. 
Lucas was a late replacement so it wasn’t the best choice, but it was the more logical pick on paper 

Fell asleep while putting a bet in that would have came in lol

Bnasty but you still picked Pinheiro :)

I honestly feel bad for Ogden, hope they give him another ufc contract. he was def on his way to win. 

My comment was supposed to say, “I believe Brendan Allen is well rounded” not isn’t well rounded lol. Where’s the edit button?

Rough start of the night but overall very entertaining event; loved the Hooper win and main event

so you didn't watch the tape or you don't know what you're watching when you watch the tape? jubli came after him in the first heavy, he felt those kicks and those hands and he said i'm done, takedown and top pressure. he came out in the second straight across the octagon and got after it again jeka struck him right back across the octagon to his corner ending with a head kick and jubli said yep all that hurt takedown and top pressure. it was literally another early stoppage by goddard due to it just not looking good to him even though jeka wasn't cut, bruised, tired or unconscious. jubli is more of a finisher than alex will ever be, he's better on the ground than alex would ever be and he would beat the breaks off alex if given a chance (alex fights at 145 jubli 155, it wouldn't even be close). what i saw from alex was a guy who couldn't finish an old man who didn't even have a training camp for the fight and him running from brito like he had a knife in his hands. you aren't going to be able to point fight a brawler for 15 minutes and stay safe and alex couldn't make it 5. all my logic said a guy who knocks people out cold as an undersized 155'er will smoke a 145 point fighter who fights backing up. not talking ish just watching tape and knowing what i'm seeing and talking about. also if a guy with a 6 inch height and reach advantage can't take out a 37 year old man that hasn't been off the couch in a year in the first round then my read was correct. jose is a bum, that fight proved me more right in my pick than anything. he had him in bad spots multiple times in the fight and jose did what a 28 year old with 25 fights is supposed to do and that's get out of them but he also shouldn't have seen a second round on a guy that just came to fight for christmas present money. jose almost lost to a black friday shopper my guy.

@Axl702 

you obviously didn't watch the tape and you also don't know anything about weight classes and the talent at each. i'll take a 155 guy coming down to 145 before i take a 145 going up to 155 9 times out of 10. jubli would do way worse to alex than he did to jeka because if you watched the tape it was just an early mark goddard stoppage as usual. jeka wasn't cut, hurt, in danger of a sub or ever running from his opponent who like everyone at 155 was bigger than jeka. alex couldn't finish an old man who didn't have a training camp and literally just got up off the couch and did 3 rounds with this "fighter of note". alex is a fraud, he was supposed to fight last week against onama and that fight was off before he even did any weight cutting, alex missed weight and he was what i thought he was from the first time i saw him vs brito...kinda trash, very skilled but a track star more than a fighter. i took that info and said it's no way he stays safe point fighting a brawler that is head hunting that also moves his feet while striking. he made jubli wrestle when jubli came out aggressive with the strikes in both rounds. jubli tasted the power in both rounds and said no mas. 

@Vandal 

and pinerho still almost finished the fight in the first and the second? i've got a fighter coming down from 125 to 115 after a knockout loss fighting one of the hardest hitting fighters with the most speed at 115??? and your point??? i still made money on the 3 round ribas ko prop because that was the other most likely outcome. i knew ribas wanted her distance and didn't want to go to the ground with her so if it's going to be on the feet for the majority of the fight i'll pick the fighter who hits harder and is a front runner. what took place the first 7.5 minutes of the fight??? exactly what i thought minus ribas being a bobblehead zombie dawg. she went into rocky mode and let her opponent tire herself out hitting her in the face. i didn't think she could take it coming off a nasty knockout loss. like why are people acting like my L's weren't close af L's with a finish in the round and at the time of the lowest percentage possible finishes after the 12.5 minute mark?? if penny keeps top control in the third after her takedown she wins 29/28? like seriously just because it's my first time picking a card on tapology doesn't mean i haven't trained, don't know a crap ton about striking and fighting in general and the fights didn't go how i thought they could go. was it ever a question in the ribas fight that it wasn't penny early and ribas late??

Why didn't the Ogden fight go to cards there? I assumed that was a case for a Technical Decision. Score the fight up to that point like they would a clash of heads or an eye poke that stopped the fight. That doesn't make sense. 

3:11 of round 3, that's enough of a fight to judge.

@Ezbrees99 

I would like to disagree with your statement 😂
