None of which the ref stopped the fight from LOL

Thanks for answering the question though :facepalm:

I take it you didn't hear Rogan's thought process then?

I guess if you are asking a rhetorical question and don't really want an answer, then contact the ref himself.

looks from here like a lee/escudero decision is more probable than not...and east/harris not likely going to the cards...parlay fodder(or you could parlay both props at a little better than even money..might be smarter to separate em)...

as I said before,i don`t think Johnson is anywhere near the best pfp fighter....not close..he`s in s weak division and lost vs the only relatively elite guy he faced(Dominick cruz...and he drew with ian mccall and lost to brad pickett)....beating Dodson and los. Benavidez doesn`t make you king... beating guys like cormier,the current version of anthony Johnson,gustafsson,machida,texeira........now that`s a resume....

I`m not saying m.m. is garbage......he`s good(cocky as hell and confident)...and it might be too soon for cejudo...but cejudo`s no stranger to competing at a high level and he has real wrestling and stand-up skills....if he can somehow neutralize Johnson`s speed advantage,i think he might have a chance to make it interesting....

really looking forward to pettis/Barbosa.....pettis went from being the next superstar to an afterthought...he`s a finesse fighter who struggles vs strong guys that won`t allow him to stand around and pick his spots(and like others on the board,i think his brother`s way overhyped..just not sure kelades is the guy to expose him).....curious to see if pettis has improved his physical strength(dos anjos ragdolled him against the fence)..... Barbosa should be willing to fight a stand-up fight at range so that helps pettis...but can pettis withstand those leg kicks(and will Barbosa use them as he should?...he falls asleep occasionally)...pettis shouldn`t present a huge threat to take pettis down...it`s more likely that if things are going south in the stand-up for pettis,he may be the one to try and take it to the mat to try and submit Barbosa.....but is he physically strong enough?.......

really interesting fight....this would be pettis` 3rd consecutive loss if he blows here......

rodriguez/fili should be fun...good card....

Agree on your Pettis/Barboza analysis and think the Fili fight should be great too!

contrary to rogan`s advocacy for lima,i`d be shocked if this isn`t 2-0 esparza just because of top control...

Pretty disappointed in that fight for sure. Esparza definitely one-trick pony and thought Lima would be able to capitalize on that with her offensive ground game. Nonetheless, will be researching TDD on Esparza's next opponents! Pretty boring to watch Esparza fight, but yeah, it was a thorough domination.

"the bunker"
I`m exhausted just watching those guys...feel bad for steele(not necessarily because it was a bad decision...more because both guys left it all in the cage and you hate to see a loser in such a close fight)....

dana should give em both a few extra bucks....

Good scrap between the clay-courter and the Kiwi, Whittaker leg going to hurt like hell when he tries to walk tomorrow.
