    It kind of reminds me a little bit of the Liddell/Wand fight.

    Yeah, same idea. Two guys past their prime finally getting together. It makes it far less interesting.

    He clearly did ****.

    He may have won about 2 minutes of the second round. 30-27 was fair.

    Anyone think Stann has the tools to win this fight? I'm not seeing how he can win, unless he lands a lucky, massive shot.

    He landed the much better punches in the second, had Octagon control, and arguably hurt Cane on two occasions. He clearly lost the first and third round, and thus the fight. But he won the second clear as day.

    Why do so many UFC fighters have Glass Jaws?

    Don't tell me it is the gloves because that is laughable.

    wow, stann has no ground skills. Hell, he doesnt really have any striking skills either.

    4oz gloves coupled with the fact that fighters use eight point striking including fists, feet, knees and elbows means lots of KO's on connects.

    Yeah, he was just way too well-rounded for Stann. Stann's ground game is about 1 percent better than Antoni Hardonk's.

    Arguably is the word. Clear as day, nope. Watch it without Rogan and Goldie saying the same thing over and over and you'll be surprised; it was a close round, he lost it closely according to two judges and myself. I wouldn't lie to you.
