GDT: UFC on ESPN: Holm vs. Bueno Silva

[CDJ]

Turns out JDM is braindead, who knew?

 

[m9]

JDM is so sloppy going for aubs

I almost feel like making your opponent do this should be considered a submission. Caught the last minute of this fight on my break, wish I saw this live lmao

Here's my favorite result from this happening, old school wec

 

[CDJ]

DC and Cruz are also just as braindead

So many poor choices.

 

[ZDH]

f*** you madellena. Waaaay too much hype for that turd performance.

 

[I am not exposed]

Comes down to that second round.

Will probably be a split.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

That was one of the dumbest fights I've seen ina while especially from someone I was pretty high on

 

[CDJ]

I think that’s a clear 2-1 for JDM still

Oh boy split

In what way?

 

[chicagoskycam]

Closer than it should have been

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Damn nasty sub from Sadykhov, had McKinney’s arm trapped

He's definitely one of the more underrated fighters coming out of Serra-Longo

Yep. I was right. JDM very lucky after doing some really stupid stuff.

 

[ZDH]

Jack ngmi

By modern rules of scoring that shouldn’t have been a split, Cruz was acting like Hafez won. They kept emphasizing the control while ignoring JDM was doing the heavy majority of the damage

 

[Taytro]

Hit that parlay from @CDJ but I honestly do not think JDM won that. Did he do more damage? Yes, but I thought Hafez won more of 2 rounds. Considering the situation, that's a really disappointing performance from him.

He absolutely won that, damage > lay n pray

I thought Hafez won the 2nd (and so did a judge).

They implied it was close. It was.

 

[CDJ]

They implied it was close. It was.

Cruz at one point said Hafez won when JDM got reversed in the 3rd round, that was laughable

Meh, it was close. I had JDM just, but can understand why a judge didn't give it to him. And it was more than lay and pray. He was trying to advance.
I've seen way worse decisions.

I thought the split was the right call because the 2nd round could have gone either way.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I thought it was a close fight... I'll rewatch it but I thought JDM did by far more damage in rounds 2&3. Didn't think Hafez did much in round two except lay on top of him for the last 90 seconds.

 

[CDJ]

A judge also thought Jalin Turner won round 3 last week, doesn’t mean they know what they’re looking at

Barely any sub attempts, you don’t get points for advancing and doing nothing with it. He was holding on and hoping Jack didn’t get up

100%Correct. Didn’t find round 2 and 3 particularly close if going by modern criteria tbh

Hahaha yes, I don't know the official scoring or stats but like .. if 1 fighter does more damage in 1 minute of a round and the other fighter takes down, controls, and advances position for the following 2/3 minutes of a round. The optics are that the control fighter won the round. And the scoring used to reflect that as well.

I took it more of JDM screwed up again, and JDM being reversed was not a good look to end the fight. And that because Hafez definitely won round 1, and round 2 was close, that a finish by JDM was the best route for victory. Him getting revered meant no chance for a finish from JDM.

 

[chicagoskycam]

3rd round could have been a 10-8, the wrestling was meaningless with nothing accomplished
