UFC on Fox 7: Henderson vs. Melendez

totally agree. Didn't looked impressive at all !


Kinda boring TBH....those TD attempt were pathetic !

 

Yeah - Tom Lawler got jobbed as well.

 

Yes but he left out the "lightheavyweight" part unless he said so earlier in the night and I didn't see it. I think that says a lot about Larkin's potential. This fight is a bad step back for Lorenz but I think he was entertaining enough to avoid the cut list for the time being. He even tried a capoeria kick for god's sake!

 

I'm going to tweet my outrage to Dana White now.

 

seems to be a bit of controversy with carmont, what exactly did larkins do to win this ?

 

Good couple of fights so far and a nice first round TKO

 

yeh i guess :think

 

That fight was like watching the MMA equivalent of Sweat Pea Whitaker vs Julio Cesar Chavez. Larkin landed solid leg kicks all night debilitating Carmount's takedown ability as the fight wore on. He landed punches and elbows every time he had a free hand in the clinch against the fence or on the ground.

His takedown defense was spectacular especially considering that he was throwing as many kicks as he did throughout the fight. When he was taken down - he defended well, avoided punishment and recovered to his feet relatively quick. In the third when he was trapped in cross body he was able to grab that kimura from the bottom which would have ended the fight had Carmont not rolled with it when he did - but it did allow Lorenz to sweep Francis and regain his feet. The fact that Carmont was able to land a few takedowns late in the fight speaks well of his conditioning and tenacity.

So in summary, Lorenz hit Carmont all night long no matter which position they were in and didn't get hit in return.

 

:-(

Too many Blue Moons today? That was one of boxing's all time best offenses vs one of boxing's all time best defenses. And it was entertaining.

This fight was barely better than sucks, and had a questionable ending.
