I never can figure out how to post gifs from Tweets, but that's what that's SUPPOSED to be.

EDIT: Found one that works

The Dragon is special in his own right. Stunning finish. Hope he has a coupla great fights left in him yet.

Guess I should check out UFC. Watching Fitch stink up the cage against Daley.

Thought Daley embarrassed himself. Booing and talking shit while he was losing badly. Never liked the guy.

Bader is going to win this tournament. He is a class above most of these guys.

Starting in 2019, the UFC's Fight Night bouts and PPV undercard will be broadcast on ESPN. No longer FOX.

Looking forward to Till v Thompson on Sunday evening.

Till will be a massive star over here (UK) if he wins in style.

To be honest not sure how's it's going to go.

Till has missed weight by 3.5 pounds! Not sure what's happening now - Magny could potentially step in against Thompson?

Sucks!

I don't want to see Magny. I figure they will do what they can do so Till can still fight. Probably take a substantial part of Till's purse and give it to Wonderboy. The absence of Till ruins the whole event.

It's disappointing. But I'll reserve any judgements until I get the full story

Till can fight but he’s a total cock. 3.5lbs is ridiculous, he’s obviously doing the old drain to bully trick. Get up to your own weight class.

I thought Till controlled the bout and deserved the win. But that fight was very boring, as are most of Wonderboy's fights. Till is a superb striker who seems to go for the kill most of the time. It will be interesting to see him in there with the likes of Woodley.

You understand EVERYONE is cutting a shitload of weight right?

While the rounds were close & difficult to score ( save for the final round ) I don't understand the catcalls of "robbery" from many saying that "Wonderboy" won the fight. Without Till coming forward & actually trying to force the action there would have been no bloody fight. Sure, Thompson landed a few more pitty-pat counters in some rounds but they had nothing on them whatsoever. I had Till winning by 49 -47 or 3-1-1 in rounds.

For the most part I agree, but the guy is a professional and not making weight by that much is unacceptable. Yeah some guys go to the extreme. I remember Joe Riggs regularly cutting 20 pounds to fight at WW. Kinda dodgy, yeah.... did he make weight, yeah.... he kept it professional....

Tinnie · Post by **Tinnie** » 28 May 2018, 05:25

I wouldn't be surprised if he stopped cutting early when he realized he wasn't going to make weight just to rehydrate and take any advantage into the fight....

jujigatame · Post by **jujigatame** » 28 May 2018, 11:59

Kinda thought Thompson won if you score it by the 10-point system, although the 5th round made it hard to complain about the decision.

I'm still not sure how 2 judges found 4 rounds to give to Till, though.

You do realise that NOT EVERYONE is cutting so much weight they come in 3.5lbs heavy, right?

He fucked up his weight cut. I doubt he comes in any heavier on fight night than the other guys at the weight. Theyre all cutting huge amounts. If he continues to miss weight then it's a problem but if he doesn't then he isn't doing anything different from anyone else.

McGregor looked like he just got out of Aushwitz when he was making 145, DC looks horrible when he makes 205 and has cheated to make weight before, Halloway couldn't make 155 on short notice despite being in shape and normally fighting the division below, Romero missed weight against Rockhold, GSP didn't make weight in Canada but the commission overlooked it and rounded down. Almost everyone in the UFC is cutting so much and has got it down to such a fine line that anyone can fornicate up their cut.

I agree it's unprofessional but if it's a one off there's no need to go on about it. They're all guilty of the same thing and they're not doing it now to get an advantage they're doing it to level the playing field.

someone in another section said the last 12 ufc fighters to come in overweight and still fight all won?

i dont know the specific cases but if true that would defo have me suspecting that it may help and be a different beast from cutting but making weight

Tinnie · Post by **Tinnie** » 10 Jun 2018, 01:53

A great night of fights.

Perhaps im slightly bias but for me it was slightly ruined by Rogan's moaning. I think a split decision either way would be a fair outcome.

I felt even in lead up, for whatever reason, Rogan had an investment in Romero. Im not aware of any adjustments to scoring 10-8 rounds that they were talking about. But personally, even with the knockdowns, i didnt see enough to begrudge Robbie his victory. Rogan even spoke to Romero like he was actually the champion which i thought was a little distasteful.

Otherwise great fight. Seeing those guys embrace and seeing the respect for each other is why i love the sport.

p4p1 · Post by **p4p1** » 10 Jun 2018, 01:58

I had Whittaker winning 1,2,4 not sure how anyone scored round 4 to Romero TBH. He landed a good shot but was out worked the entire round and threw like 8 shots over the entire round.

Round 3 I though Whittaker fought back well enough for it to be a 10-9 round because he landed some of his own hard shots.

Round 5 is Romero's best argument for a 10-8 round BUT he didn't follow up enough, he held Whittaker until the ref seppersted them and I'm not sure that's enough for a 10-8.

Anyway my opinion is either a Whittaker win or a draw. It was an excellent fight though.

I though Anderson was lucky it wasn Cyborg she was in against.

Tinnie · Post by **Tinnie** » 10 Jun 2018, 02:14

I was very impressed by Bektic's win over Lamas.

I thought Robbie won it fairly handily, though it was very close.

I did get the distinct feeling the company wanted Romero to win, not dissimilar to Miocic's recent fight. I mean how many top ranked fighters are asked if a rubber match is in order after winning 2 of 2 fights for the title?..... i like Rogan, but fornicate Rogan lol....

I would think Romero needs another win where he makes weight to get a title shot. But my god he is a scary man. I don't know if anyone other than Whittaker could beat him in that division. Whittaker has an amazing chin IMO.

Tinnie · Post by **Tinnie** » 10 Jun 2018, 02:31

No arguments here. I thought Romero came across a very classy, lovable guy, post fight to boot.
