Kinda sad. Good night guys

 

[PrideRules]

He really came? Was it a money shot?

 

[jason73]

48-47??? Was Rory's mom a judge?

lol dude rory is super sensitive about his mom.he got the waterboy name because he loves his mama

 

[kneeblock]

Who is Canadian Royce Gracie in Rory's corner?

 

[megatherium]

Fans were gettin' a little antsy waitin' for the log rollin' event after the fight I expect.

 

[Splinty]

If Rory was really at his best, just speaks more about wonderboy being a difficult fight that shows up in the ring more than the TV.

 

[teamquestnorth]

Rory should have saved the imanari roll for later in the fight. Surprise Wonderboy in the third.

Yeah going for that twice in the first round was very strange.

All around horrible game plan from Firas and Rory

 

[strikingthoughts]

Can't wait to go back and re-watch this. This was a frustrating chess match for Rory.

 

[TheAwkwardTitan]

Frustrating to watch Rory awkwardly advance with no purpose or plan.


Great win for Wonderboy.

Yeah Rory Mc-Fuckin-donalds didn't have a game plan. Get outta here. He just couldn't implement his gameplan... Wonderboy's a hard puzzle to solve.

david lea

 

[dacofty]

Rory is gonna be awesome in Bellator

I'd expect no less from a good BC lad

Wonderboy is legit.

 

[megatherium]

I didn't see the fight but I hope Rory didn't hold back anything not wantin' to hurt a fellow Scotsman.

 

[lueVelvet]

Wonderboy is legit.

No doubt but it really didn't seem like his plan was the best for Wondervoy. I think they could have worked out a bit of a better plan IMO (lying in bed as a stupid know it all fan of course)

 

[Left Hook Larry]

wonderboy beats lawler unless lawler goes berzerker mode

 

[BrunoMcGyver]

Shame Wonderboy is Wondermid30s. If he was younger he would have more time at this level.

He's the youngest 33 year old ive seen in MMA though. Pretty much no wear and tear on him. Still got a good 2-3 years at his peak imo

Ive never heard of venmo before

Please give me a day to setup paypal. Heading out right now with family for fathers day.

Venmo is app on phone for money transfer. I think its a subsidiary company of paypal and its linked with facebook.

You called that one. Im gonna think twice before going against you on the next one.

 

[Jdog93]

Props to Wonderboy ending Rory's gameplan. Secures his place as a contender for the title

 

[Super Dave]

Well not everyone I was pulling for won but the two main did so that's something

 

[EyeAmYuki]

Does this show how much more important movement is over actual wrestling skills in regards to takedown defence?

 

[1372]

No doubt but it really didn't seem like his plan was the best for Wondervoy. I think they could have worked out a bit of a better plan IMO (lying in bed as a stupid know it all fan of course)

When people are trying to steal my shit my rolls are reserved for emergency...I try to utilise fists and kicks first.

I agree wholeheartedly

I don't think so. Rory's takedowns aren't the best, he can't cover distance like Wonderboy, the only place he had parity was in the clinch, but Wonderboy is great at creating space. Tough stylistic match up for Rory. Doesn't help that he was coming off nearly a year lay off, and a savage beating.

Robbie has a puncher chance.
