Cote just starched McFedries. That was hilarious. Cote hit him, and McFedries did that chin tap, telling Cote to bring it on. Then he popped Cote with a huuuge left hook, which he ate, then Cote rocked him with a right uppercut. Just fantastic. McFedries looks like a giant ass now. Don't tell a guy you've got a better chin, then get shown up. :rofl
Goldie has been horrible tonight. I like how he keeps saying Swick is bigger and stronger than Burkman because he fought at 185, and Joe keeps saying, "Um, no, Burkman also fought at 185 and is way stronger."
yep, I was just saying before he said that stupid comment that it's amazing Goldie has been doing this for a long time and still doesn't know ****!....And he's sitting ringside and can't tell the old guy yelling in Japenese all fight and in the third round Goldie makes the "guy yelling Brazilian" comment.....Rogan must be rolling his eyes....I mean the guy was in the Japenese fighters corner for **** sake.atsch
To sum up the night: Great performance by Diaz. He can definitely make some noise at 155lbs. He said he wants a challenge.....how about Florian? Cote was impressive. Swick looked decent, but too cautious and complacent. He wouldn't stuff GSPs takedowns like that. The other fight was god awful, tavares looked like ****. Pellegrino is a badass and a funny mutha!
I thought the Pellegrino fight was great. Didn't think there was any way he'd come back from that kick. Good on him for toughing it out and pulling out the win. The Cote KO was sweet, too, especially because the other dude was sorta smiling and laughing at him about 30 seconds before the bomb landed. Other than that, though, man there were some snoozers on the card... Very disappointed in the Main Event. Not a terrible fight, really, but I had higher expectations. The Tavares fight, on the other hand, was terrible.
The Cote fight and Pellegrino were clearly the best fights of the night. The Swick fight was a hugging contest, and Mike got in the better pats on the back, apparently. There's no doubt in my mind GSP would have dismantled him.
Cote must really have some Foreman fists; guys look like they've been crushed when he hits them, and they don't really look THAT hard.
2 impressive wins in a row for Cote, 1 more big win and he could be in title contention, Diaz looked very impressive Thavares fight wasn't great I thought he should used more standup but he kept going for takedowns and was usuallu unsuccessfull. swick was hesitant but he kind of had to be because Burkman was going for repeated takedowns....and failed every time and towards the end was fighting not to lose.
Is Thavares that good? He gets alot of hype, but he looked like dog**** against a 4-5 guy last night...
Yeah that was beautiful. Cotes striking looked very sharp. He has improved a lot. Great to see Pat on a roll now. To me, the only fighters that impressed, were Cote and Nate Diaz. I didnt see the Pellegrino fight though. Very disappointed with Tavares performance, and with the main event.
swick wont do **** in the ww division im sorry they are all wrestlers and his take down defence wont work against guys like karo diego fitch or kos hell he wont even fight fitch or kos casue they are his team mates and he wont beat gsp or karo or deigo so he may become a top ten but never leave the number 6 spot he should focus less on weight cutting and more on skill
Kinda harsh. Burkman is no slouch. He's not a top dog, but he's not dog****. Give Swick a chance to look better down the road; if he doesn't improve then I'm with you and he's done. I suspect he'll do better next time though and might (MIGHT) end up beating guys like KP or Sanchez. It's not like they've looked totally dominant recently.
