Well damn :leon:
Out of all the Tristar fighters in the UFC that I can think of (let's include Carmont for the sake of comparison), Rory is probably the only dude that actually goes out and tries to finish. Dude wants to be as epic but GSP but actually create highlight reels instead of ground top control minutes. Looking at his fight with Penn, pretty much every other dude would've folded under that WORK.

He's still the most awkward dude in the UFC, but props to his dressing sharp for public appearances though.

No he doesn't. He could have easily finished Ellenburger who stood in front of him and did nothing. Same with Woodley who folded by the second round. Even yest. That clown Faris is counting down the minutes and telling him in the corner how many rounds is left. They don't gameplan for finishes.

Well.. more so than GSP and Carmont, at least. Other dudes straight pointfighting. The Ellenburger fight was straight lennox lewis shyt stay behind jab and throw nothing

I'm just saying he has more of that instinct than his stablemates. Not like a maaaaaasive difference. His psycho look though, the fukk he doing standing still as fukk

He was in the process of turning it in and upward just quick or high enough to keep his head on his shoulders. :manny: His body went muscle memory on
i think he fukked up from lowering himself. maybe he was expecting a body kick :manny:.
I saw the fight when it happened. Robbie was tentative, i'll have to rewatch though since it's been a while. I'm not saying it was a landslide but i had robbie winning up til that point.

I only watched that fight that day it aired on TV but I think robbie beat him handily, no doubt. robbie would beat him again. rory likes staying behind his range, he's not comfortable in the pocket at all. robbie will press forward. he even stood in front of hendricks and boxed him well.

:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol: Dude looks retarded


Anyway, that was an impressive finish by Rory. I can see him getting by Lawler next go around (If he doesn't get into brawl with him), but I think Hendricks would be tough to deal with it. I actually wouldn't be mad if either one of them KO him

I just think Hendricks will eat some to get inside and pressure him hard and either take him down or hit him with a bomb.
Hendricks chin ain't that great to be foolishly charging in. Both condit and especially lawler wobbled him.

Dude is off his rocker. The only way the fight was close is because rory was going for take downs. Jabs don't faze ruthless.
