I can not stand Thiago Silva......one of the few brazilians that I can´t support... I hope Gustafsson wins......
Gustafssan looking sharp. Very light on his feet. Good combos but no power. Silva's nose looks broken. I wonder why this fight is only three rounds?
So this would have been your crap out in the prediction league? haha It would have been interesting to see this go into rounds 4 and 5 to see if Guftsassan could have kept that pace up. He looked to be in great condition.
Id have gone for a kod in the 3rd for Guf. But each time he caught Thiago good he had already backed away to far to follow up
I thought he should have pressed the advantage too - but with a powerhouse like Silva you can't blame him for not risking it. Well maybe You can blame him but I won't. lol
Im not talking about going full Leeroy Jenkins. But the attitude in being content with a UD in the main event is worrying in the regard of building new stars
I kinda agree it seemed he was content to slowly pick him apart which he did. Maybe he thought twice about being to aggresive after Silva caught him with a good shot.
Im not expecting Frye v Takayama. But Guf is following in the footsteps of Chuck, Wandy, Shogun, Hendo ect. Nowt wrong with fighting smart,but at least make it a fight
i'm not one to praise the punch and run (and he didn't full-on sprint like some other guys) method, but i think it looked worse here (in the "tap and dash" aspect) due to silva's cover then counter style, instead of trading i also was giving guf the benefit of the doubt because i though this was a 5-rounder for some reason i t would have been nice to see a little more pressure, but silva wasn't helping matters by just covering until guf was doen throwing, and then trying to swing
