huh. really thought gordon did enough to get the nod but far from a robbery.

awesome heart and chin from dempsey and i don't have a problem seeing that rewarded.

The right decision.
Yeah, I wouldn't have been outraged if they had given Gordon the nod, but I think Dempsey did enough. It came down to the second round, and while Eddie had the back, it was very briefly and he did no damage there. Whereas most of the round was spent striking and Dempsey had a clear advantage in the striking that round.

My heart says Hettes, but my head says Brandao. I don't like guys that threaten to stab people at weigh ins.

moving backwards and counter striking = the guard game.

unless those strikes drop someone or you cinch up that sub from guard (or at least sweep) you are losing that fight.

yeah he was doing his best work wading in with punches-- i thought he was giving away the 3rd by hunting those takedowns a la Hendricks.

Not really, you just have to land the better strikes.

which seems to be pretty subjective at times. unless someone gets visibly hurt, it seems like judges weigh strikes landed while coming forward more than clean counters
