Man, I thought the 5th round was pretty close, but I had a few beers, so I could be "fuzzy" about it. I'm glad I didn't have to score it.

But what stands out most to me was how Dos Santos changed the whole fight with that 1 big shot in mid 3rd(?) round. Stipe was dominating, he looked fresh, and Dos Santos looked frustrated. That punch seemed to take all the wind of of Stipe's sails.

I also liked watching Overeem "figure out" how to smash that tall guy while he was laying there like a douche.

Diaz is a punk! Did you guys see him slapping raphel dos anjos at the end of the fight like a punk bitch? Anjos made him pay for it and it changed diaz's punk ass tune. If I was dana white I would shitcan his ass along with the attitude.

lol I thought that was funny, but he came in 4lbs overweight and he's been complaining about higher pay, Dana White said something about that at the post fight press conference, either get serious or retire

Same here, that should be a good fight!

They get fined if they're over weight right?

Gotta agree about Diaz. I realize he's a tough guy/bad boy, but slapping Anjos was a punk bitch move. It's a fight, but I like to see a little sportsmanship, or at least respect for for the dude who just beat you. What a terrible example for young athletes! I think Diaz also got fined 10% for walking out of an interview, or missing a press conference or something.

I thought it was awesome when he put that guy in the triangle choke then flipped everyone off. I like to watch him and his brother fight, but what is their problem?

If I remember right, the older Diaz was supposed to fight St. Pierre a few years ago. He pulled the same shit, and they took away his title shot.

I've listened to a lot of Nicks interviews, he doesn't like how the UFC handles a lot of things, from scoring fights, to judges, to refs, to pay.. I'm really interested in seeing him take on Anderson though, he is a good fighter who looks like he gets better with every punch he takes

I guess no more StrikeForce, no more Elite XC, no Pride. There's only the UFC and Dana White left. I don't like my boss that much, I guess I wouldn't be too happy if he was the only guy I could work for either.

I am pretty sure the reason Nate was slapping at Anjos was to try and get him to make a mistake. I watched that fight very closely and it was more than obvious that Nate has already lost by that point. From a strategic standpoint, the only way Nate could have won that contest would have been to catch a submission. With that being said, Nate finally got Anjos into his closed guard. Even Joe Rogan made a comment once the position was achieved. From full guard Nate was able to control Anjos' right wrist (may have been the left but pretty sure it was the right one). As a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu fighter I know he was looking to catch an armlock from the guard or set up a triangle. The problem is Anjos is a blackbelt and Diaz is a brown belt (as far as I know today), and those are the easiest submissions to avoid. A mistake from ur opponent is needed in order to secure an armlock or a triangle from the guard. So in my opinion Nate was trying to get Anjos emotional enough to make that mistake.

I actually had it 50- 45 JDS. But maybe they would give Stipe a round 49-46. This fight was not close. I think JDS looked pretty good. He totally used only one aspect of the fight game. He want in there only to box. He stuffed like all the takedowns and landed nearly all of the significant strikes.

what i liked about jds last fight was that as the fight went on longdr he got stronger.. unusual for him. his chin is stillthere those matches with cain aint do shit to him. lets see how rusty cain is when he comes back. i have werdum over cain... i dont think cains the same guy after all the surguries and i dont think cain can ko werdum.... i dont see cain trying to take wdrdum down. he will try and stand andbang with werdum like howhe would never dream of doing with dos santos.. werdums muay thai is on point now

I think Cain can take down anyone in the heavyweight division at will. The only issue is how will his performance be after surgeries. I dont think he has many more fights left in him. But the ones that he does wont be a walk in the park for any heavyweight.
