3 fights i played no time for write ups

T.Ortiz-430 good size play Tito could make fast work out of Cote tonight.

R.Lawler+155 Lawler just has not been up to speed last few times out , cost him big 1 time this will be a good match it is time for Lawler to step back up or he needs to get out, was not fighting like he should last few times and the camp he is with will not put up with it to much longer, training was the key to the way he use to fight but he was said to have been laxed last few times out.

Matt Hughes-245 this line was higher then I thought it would be this will be the best fight of the night.

Lawler again makes a key mistake and has to tap out against tanner in 1st round, he has just not been sharp and that mistake should not of happened, weight was not a factor to early but tanner again uses his skills to get a tap out he can either pound you or make you tap out, he is a very good fighter and hard to know what he is doing , I don't want to take anything away from him but lawler made a mistake that a good fighter does not make when he is on his game , you slam a guy and ride him to low and get caught in a triangle around the head it should not happen that fast, lawler needs to get on the go someone above posted he looked soft coming in to the match, yes he did some not as bad as last time I saw him but his training has not been the same as it use to be, he is in a tough camp and they will lay it out I think now, train hard or change camps. Still was worth a shot, i though it would go longer and was worried about tanner's pounding the legs of lawler but a stupid mistake cost him the fight way earlier then it should of been.

Fletcher is correct, for working with Miletich team and to fall into a triangle that quick, is terrible. Its like if a guy has never seen BJJ, but trained boxing and wrestling. And didnt even try the slam escape, just stayed in the tri until his head was finally pulled down.

Great job Tanner! For a guy who started in his garage with the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu tapes. Awesome.

Lawler will have no choice but to move down to KOTC or other B-Levels and start winning again.
