GDT: UFC 231: Holloway vs. Ortega

[Killahpunk]

Valentina is ahead going into the championship rounds.

 

[darko]

Clean sweep so far

 

[TerminatorBlue]

JJ needs a knockout or submission to win this now.

 

[darko]

49-46 Valentina.

Watch it be a split decision.

 

[darko]

49-46 from all 3 judges. I'm shocked.

Pretty cool for Valentina. She's got to be a hero in Bishkek now. Not a lot comes out of Kyrgyzstan.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Extremely impressed with JJ. She kept coming forward, didn't respect Valentina power at all and was the one who made it a fight. Valentina didn't show any interest to start any exchanges. Also Joanna ground defense was good enough to totally shutdown Valentina's ground game. There is definitely case for rematch.

Valentina is a counter striker.

 

[Asiantuntija]

And after this fight it's even more obvious that Andrade or any other strawweight than Rose Namajunas isn't able to beat Joanna. Her ground defense is simply too much.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Valentina is a counter striker.

Definitely, but it would be nice to see her start exchanges even sometimes. Would make her much more entertaining fighter.

Dis gun b gud!

 

[Neutrinos]

I guess that ends the speculation on their respective reaches. They're both at 69, therefore my previous prediction is no longer valid

 

[dss97]

Ortega the favourite? Don’t agree with that at all.

 

[dss97]

Good first round.

 

[darko]

Ortega getting picked apart

 

[darko]

Ortega really needs to shoot for a takedown. Max is a straight up killer.

 

[dss97]

20-17 Max imo.

 

[Neutrinos]

I sure am glad I withdrew my earlier prediction

 

[Neutrinos]

What is Ortega thinking not attempting any double-leg takedowns?

He had a nice one in the 1st round, but he hasn't gone for one since

 

[dss97]

Max might be the best fighter in the UFC. Seriously.

Guy is so good.

 

[darko]

20-17 Max imo.

Agree

 

[dss97]

And I might have put my foot in my mouth haha.

Great fight.

 

[I am the Liquor]

What a great fight!

 

[dss97]

29-27 Holloway. He lost that one

 

[dss97]

They’re going stop this between rounds.
