Hell of a card last night.
i was lucky enough to catch the prelims (all finishes by the way) at the hooters i was at (they were playing the canelo undercard simultaneously).
Always sad to see the old guard guys like Arlovski lose. The tavares KO was nice, and wow at corey anderson. The dude went in there possessed and disposed of walker fast. I won't write off walker yet, i think he has things to work on.
Woah! at kevin lee, i haven't been much of a fan of his. But man, how can you not like that KO. Him training in montreal with firas and GSP has worked for him. Snapping his two loss streak
black beast fight was underwhelming, but i was impressed at his ground game. Specially since his opponent is a world class sambo practitioner.
What a clinic wonderboy put on luque. Good to see him snap his 2 fight losing streak.
Gastelum vs till was very lackluster. I expected way more from these two. I scored it a draw.
Main event was damn good.
I picked nate to win, I thought he was gonna use his range and box up jorge from the outside. And was sort of upset that the doctor stopped it. But some guys are too tough for their own good. And the stoppage wasn't bad. Could nate have taken over in the 4th and 5th rounds? maybe, but masvidals strikes were a lot more damaging than i thought. I really thought that soccer kick from Jorge was going to put nate out (like the thompson fight). I can't believe the chin on Nate, he was able to get some shots in at times, and was controlling jorge in the clinch.
I felt that Masvidal was winning, but it wasn't a total domination in my opinion. Sometimes cuts make the other fighter look like he is making more damage than what it really is. I enjoyed the fight though.
