The TDs were weak

The takedowns were great. He took Condit down at will and he controlled a very good grappler trying to be offensive off his back for several minutes during the fight. I would also argue that Hendricks controlled the fight on the feet. He had far more hard hits and rocked Condit several times. I agree completely with this analysis: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1570615-ufc-158-st-pierre-vs-diaz-the-jack-slack-breakdown

The TDs were def NOT great lol. Everyone was lazy and slow. Condit was stupid to not stop them i agree. All im trying to get across is that TDs like that shouldnt be worth so much in the eyes of the judges. They didnt do any damage and hendricks didnt do anything once he got condit to the ground, no gnp and no sub attempts. Condit did more damage off of his back then hendricks did on top. He was only taking him down for points and i think that needs to be changed in the rules. I am a long time MMA fan and i appreciate all aspects of the sport but i cant get behind people winning on account of TDs (unless they are slams or are done for a reason eg. set up subs or gnp). At the end of the day the condit/hendricks fight was great, i was just disapointed how the judges scored it 3rds to 0 due to insignificant TDs

[Flash]

just read that the wsof event tonight is in danger of being canceled , something about the cage not being up to code ?
realy hope they get it sorted out ( fingers crossed )

[bagley920]

That should be something that can easily be fixed, just a matter of whether they wanna pay for it

What do you guy's think of Mark Hunt?  He's a cult hero here in New Zealand.

Good fighter but against JDS, no chance in hell

[Lucifer]

Dean Lister indeed!

[bagley920]

That's awesome dude. I've met Spencer Fisher once as he's from NC but that's it

I would say that JDS better not underestimate the striking of Hunt. While JDS is faster, has longer reach, a far better groundgame, Hunt has a more versatile standup-game than JDS (JDS pretty much does two combos, he just does those two very well..) and he can really put the lights out on anyone. Would be an upset though. Considering putting some money on Hunt for old time's sake ..

[Hemi]

It would be an awesome upset!

Ran into Forrest Griffin on the way to the TUF finale. Chatted over beers and burgers.

[bagley920]

Haha, we know Forrest like his burgers and booze

[natehate]

did you ask him if he wanted to rematch anderson silva?hahahaha

[bagley920]

I wouldn't be cracking on any of these guys, period. It takes a special human being to fight for a living, much less fight an ASSassin like Anderson Silva
