lmao conor doesn't even get his hands up, if mendes can hit him with the over hand right, Woodley can

you don't know what you are talking about

the straight left conor likes to throw can be countered with the over hand right as well

you don't know what you are talking about

conor mcgregor isn't elusive like cruz lmao, who still gets hit a lot get off his dikk seriously

He doesn't get his hands up because he has good head movement and can back-off quickly.

Cruz's movement is different, a lot more varied and less focused on baiting.

Also the straight left Conor throws is usually a counter, meaning woodley would have to counter a counter with enough power to wobble Conor.
Obviously he still has his other punches, but his boxing isn't close to Conor's so he has to rely heavily on the overhand right.

That Woodley vs Wonderboy fight got me heated smh. Tyron was straight up torturing Wonderboy at the end of the 1st round, and dominating him again in the 4th. And yet somehow that fight ended up as a fukkin draw? Nah, no fukking way. Wonderboy did great in the 5th round cause Tyron was tired but It was just obvious that Tyron inflicted way more damage on Wonderboy throughout the fight.

I have no qualms about it

Its kinda similar to the bisping/Hendo fight

Both of them clearly won 2 rounds but got outpointed on the other three

Does he even own the rights to his music

I could see a bush league company playing those types of games, but I'm sure the UFC has all the i's dotted and the t's crossed before they use any intellectual property that isn't their own.

Nah according to Dana production wasn't 100 for this card. UFC has some production issues for a while now

I don't think it's that simple breh, Tyron was never in any danger in that fight. Meanwhile Wonderboy was on the verge of getting finished multiple times. Tyron hurt him BADLY numerous times. Wonderboy showed heart to not get finished but no way in hell was that a draw in my opinion.

It's really an issue with the scoring system though. Woodley did damage in the first but not enough for a 10-8 and Thompson took three rounds. In a damage based scoring, Woodley obviously won. From a standpoint of who was the bigger threat throughout the fight? Woodley. But in the basic 10 point must system they have, the draw makes sense. I agree that Woodley was the better man; but the scoring system is the reason that result makes sense.

Great article about the Machida situation:

Op-Ed: Lyoto Machida’s 18 month suspension is unfair and disproportionate

This. Woodley/Wonderboy is a prime example with what's wrong with the scoring system.

I'm glad it seems the Romero/Bisping fight looks like it will be happening in the Spring. At least that division is allowing a worthy challenger to get a title shot.

no doubt round 4 is a 10-8, Round 1 could be a 10-8 depedning on this person, more a 10-9

round 2,3,5 went to wonderboy
