GDT: UFC 256: Figueiredo vs. Moreno

[darko]

Moicano tried to get up and stumbled. The ref saved him from getting hurt even more.

 

[CDJ]

He was done. Good stoppage.

Wasn’t done enough considering he was in the middle of throwing up a triangle....


And again, who cares if he stumbled? People get rocked and stumble in fights all the time, he could’ve bled out the round on the ground and recovered on the stool. You gotta give him a chance. Tognoni sucks.

 

[Avs_19]

he got rocked but people get rocked all the time in fights, he was clearly intelligently defending himself


The result may have been an inevitability but I think that was early and I also hate Chris Tognoni

Looked to me like he was out rather than just being rocked. Eyes rolled, head swung back, and he fell over. The first shot Fiziev landed on the ground appeared to wake him up and the ref jumped in.

 

[pistolpete11]

I think it was a tad early. It's like he was right to stop it when he decided to step in, but by the time he got over there, Miocano was defending himself. That was only a matter of time if that fight stayed on the feet, though.

 

[Byron Bitz]

He was done. Good stoppage.

He could have tied him up in his guard and recovered

 

[CDJ]

I’m really excited about this one

 

[darko]

He could have tied him up in his guard and recovered

Doubt that. He was just going to wear few more bombs in which case people would be calling for refs head.

 

[darko]

Bring those hands up Pineda

 

[m9]

Swanson needed to go for the finish there. Way too tentative with a hurt opponent.

 

[Avs_19]

Cub might've let him off the hook but Pineda looked in bad shape even as the round ended.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Great first round, Cubs the f*ckin man

I agree, stoppage was a bit early. He needed to let it play out.

 

[darko]

I suppose that was early stoppage too

 

[Muston Atthews]

Damn son

 

[Chaels Arms]

I love how Swanson fights. So much patience there.

 

[darko]

Disappointing showing by Pineda. Someone needs to staple his hands to the forehead.

 

[pistolpete11]

That's what's up, Cub. Great performance.

 

[CDJ]

I suppose that was early stoppage too

No Pineda had been dropped multiple times and ref actually let that play out. No need to be so angsty

 

[m9]

I suppose that was early stoppage too

It was a perfect stoppage.

 

[CDJ]

 

[Avs_19]

Cub looked great. Pineda also helped by standing in front of him with his hands down.

 

[CDJ]

Pineda has a hell of a poker face, he looks like he’s having a good time when he’s on the brink of consciousness

 

[darko]

It was a perfect stoppage.

Difference between this one and Fiziev one was that Pineda ate an extra punch whilst flat on the floor.

and that moicano was throwing up a triangle but this is getting tired. Many people disagree with you, it’s not a big deal

There's more to it.

Watch the ref (sorry, don't know his name) with the Swanson KO. He was watching Pineda the entire time and as soon as he took one shot on the ground and he wasn't defending himself, he stopped it. It was a clinical stoppage and exactly how they would teach you.

With the Moicano one, the ref is further away so he doesn't have the same vantage point. You can't overcompensate for your poor position by immediately flailing over the top to protect the fighter. You need to move yourself into better position and then assess. He panicked, flailed, and was wrong.

People make way too much of a deal out of guys taking an extra shot. Every single fighter would take one extra shot vs having the ref end the fight prematurely. You need to protect the fighter with your positioning and awareness, not by guessing.
