The scorecard surprised me, I thought it was round 3 that split them, turns out it was round 5. 

 

A bit fishy.

Very odd. The UFC will have wanted Max to win.

Joe Benavidez

 

He's illegally hit me, so I'm gonna hurt him bad. 

 

If by that you mean get battered for 4 mins, knocked down 3 times mins and choked out you did a great job

[Remmie]

I'm definitely in the casual bracket but the little I've seen of Nurmagamedov I really enjoy.

Just caught up, one hell of a beatdown that. One of the most dominant rounds I've ever seen.

5 would be better to nullify a poorly judged card, but as amateur boxing has shown if there is bias from above they are as comfortable with a 3 2 as a 2 1.

Yeah you'll never completely cut out bad cards, too much money involved and corruption, especially in boxing.

Bisping going to town on Dan Henderson, funny. 

[Duff Man]

Decent main event this Saturday. If he's back to anywhere near his best, Knuckles gets the stoppage, I reckon.

The card is pretty good for a non PPV. I'm edging towards Till points win.

[Welsh]

Never used to like Till when he first got into the UFC as he was proper arrogant but after he got knocked out he's become more chilled and his twitter account is class to follow.

 

I still question his chin and Whittaker has got some serious power so if he connects then it's lights out for Till.

[Duff Man]

Yeah agree about Till's ability to take a shot. He's not that great defensively, either.

 

Wild that Gus came in at 240 lbs; he looked bigger than Verdum at the face off.

Till might take a shot better now he's not killing himself to make weight but we'll have to see it first.

 

Can't see Gus doing much at HW.

Yeah true, but I just don't think he's that good at dealing with fighters who come forward throwing combinations.

No, he clearly didn't want to be there when he fought Smith, so I'd question how much he actually wants to fight again. I was just surprised by the weight.

[Lee909]

Gus weight shouldn't be a surprised. Like Jones he came in 225/230lb on fight night at 205. No weight cut, months away no shock really 

[Duff Man]

Yeah that's why it surprised me; I was expecting him to come in around 225/230, so he could retain his speed and agility. Got the feeling that at 240 he might be a bit sluggish, a la Rockhold at LHW, taking away his best weapons. Verdum looks pretty much done, though, so it might not matter, anyway.

[Aventus]

There has been a few British fighters on at this fight island over the last few weeks, might have been nice of Dana to stick them on one card and put it on at a decent time for us. 

 

The card doesn't even start til 4am local time, main event probably around 6, must be a pain in the arse for the fighters messing with sleep schedules as well as all the other shite just to keep the yanks happy. 

[Lee909]

Less than 2 mins in. 

Whittaker looks finished, hesitant then wild. 

 

Till floored him and catching him at will

[Lee909]

Looking better now, maybe ring rust

[Bjornebye]

He's gone here. He never fills me with confidence watching Darren anyway. 

[John102]

2 1 Whittaker.

 

Till done nothing since first 2 mins.

 

i know very little about ufc though

[Bjornebye]

2:2 all I'd say. Just. 

[Lee909]

Could go either way. 

Not a great fight, just never caught fire

[Bjornebye]

He's lost that. 

[John102]

I thought last was Tills best round
