GDT: UFC Fight Night: Yusuff vs. Barboza

[m9]

Pereira with some easy work. Thought that was going to be a tough fight.

Me too I like petroski... this next fight should be great though

 

[I am not exposed]

i love leg TKOs

 

[CDJ]

Sensational performance from Martinez

 

[CDJ]

Maia by decision and Barboza by anything and I have a v good night. If Barboza loses I have mildly sad night

 

[m9]

Martinez is one of the most exciting fighters around right now. Deserves a big step up, Munhoz makes sense.

 

[I am not exposed]

This fight is as boring as I expected

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I don't know why but the more apex events we have to more it irritates me that they use a different sized octagon

 

[m9]

Nothing great here but 3 of the top 4 fights should be really exciting

You can probably guess the 1 that won't be

On track so far

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Every single time he's on the call Dom has to praise a ref for letting a fight go on

 

[m9]

10-8 yuseff

 

[m9]

10-9 barboza, 19-18 yuseff

 

[CDJ]

HOLY SHIT EDSON

 

[m9]

Should be 10-8 barboza. 28-27 barboza

 

[m9]

Close 4th round but I go 10-9 barboza, 38-36 overall

 

[CDJ]

Barboza won the last 4 rounds

 

[I am not exposed]

Yusuff blew his load in the 1st round.

Barboza should get it, but could be a draw due to that 10-8 in the first.

 

[m9]

10-9 barboza for the super rare 48-45 scorecard on my books

 

[I am not exposed]

Round 2 will be the deciding round imo.

 

[m9]

49-46 - meaning no 10-8 1st round - is absolutely brutal

 

[Taytro]

That's the biggest display of heart that I've ever seen. Barboza is a pure warrior.

49-46 - meaning no 10-8 1st round - is absolutely brutal

It also means no 10-8 3rd round where the striking discrepancy was larger than in the first round.

Legendary performance from Edson

I think the first round was the clearer 10-8 as Edson was on the ropes for a long time. I had them both 10-8 though and thought it was pretty clear.. but no judges gave him a 10-8 3rd. Bad judging, IMO

Great fight though

Great fight though

I think they're both 10-8s too but I don't necessarily think there's any reason to give the first round a 10-8 more than the third round other than optics.

I get Edson visually took a lot of damage since he wore it on his face and that his legs were shaking for a couple minutes in a row but the actual striking differential was greater in the 3rd round than it was in the first. The length of domination was virtually the same in the first and third, one guy controlled almost the entirety of the rounds. Clear knockdowns in both rounds where the fight was at risk of being stopped (maybe more so in the first). Clear domination in both rounds.

Idk I thought we got clarity on 10-8 rounds a few weeks ago after the Shevchenko incident, and everything we heard there would lead me to believe both rounds should have been 10-8 on all judges scorecards.

Oh yeah, that hilarious Pat Miletich vs Mike Jackson fight is tonight too
