UFC 131: Dos Santos vs. Carwin LD

[Kashagi]

Florian was back up and out of reach after that nice combo, dont think it would have changed much personally. Fun match regardless of the boos

 

[El Rev sXe]

Now, this is going to be REALLY interesting, no idea who is going to win. What do you think guys?

 

[Fizzy]

Till I collapse walk out music? Badass

I've got Carwin by late round KO or TKO.

 

[Fizzy]

Fucking Rocky music?!?!?!

This night just keeps getting better and better...

 

[klunderbunker]

Yes pick the music of the guy that lost the big fight.

 

[Fizzy]

I wish Lesnar was fighting........

 

[X]

I've got Dos Santos by split decision.

 

[El Rev sXe]

Dos Santos just RAPED Carwin!

 

[klunderbunker]

His nose looks like Voldermort's now.

 

[Fizzy]

WOW

So much to say about that round. I'm incredibly surprised at JDS's TDD. I believed Carwin would take him down with rather ease. Once JDS started to loosen up, he really started lighting Carwin up. I can't believe Carwin survived that. Heart of a fucking warrior.

 

[El Rev sXe]

Did anyone else saw when Dos Santos look at the ref like saying "I think you should en this"?

 

[X]

God damn Carwin's a mess after that first round.

Might have to change my prediction to a win by stoppage for Dos Santos instead of split decision.

 

[klunderbunker]

Fun round.

 

[X]

YIKES that head kick from Junior was LOUD.

Damn that's a tough round to score. Both men got a nice flurry of offense in. Might give it to Junior based on the last 20 seconds, barely 10-9.

 

[Fizzy]

Carwin needs to start backing Dos Santos up. WHen he does that he tags and wins the exchanges. When JDS backs him up, he eats jabs all night. He also needs to kick his leg because it's obvious JDS's speed advantage is a deciding factor. Take that speed away, it's a much more even fight.

 

[Fizzy]

Carwin is an animal. Can't believe he went three rounds like that after such a long layoff.

I'll say this, while JDS looked very good with his boxing, if he fights like that against Cain he will get eaten alive.

 

[X]

Junior won that fight pretty handily. Good fight, I'm starting to like JDS quite a bit and Carwin showed a lot of heart (and chin).

How was the rest of the show? Didn't catch it.

 

[El Rev sXe]

I don't care what you say, brasilian peopleare far too good for soccer and MMA. Dos Santos STILL undefeated ftw!

 

[Fizzy]

Dos Santos isn't undefeated.

 

[El Rev sXe]

He is undefeated in UFC right?

 

[Fizzy]

Yes he is.

No he won't. Dos Santos will obviously have to be more busy against Cain but tonights performance is an indication he's gonna do well. TD defense looks super and of course the boxing looked great. And I'm positive he'll do fine on the inside.

Oh and I thought Maia won his WAR Munoz, though it was close and overall an excellent night of fights. Awesome.
