randomguy Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Rashad will probably get the win even though he didn't do a damn thing in this fight other than a flurry of punches at the start of round 1.
Lei Tong Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 If Hoger was slightly more athletic than his current sausage-tit self, he could've easily taken Evans.
jwpeer Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Rashad seems to buy into the idea that arbitrarily bobbing and weaving makes a good boxer. This got him put on his ass against Jardine. Good to see that even after moving to Jackson's camp Rashad refuses to train in submissions. Fucker. Well some of his bobbing and weaving is ok...he just needs to get it under control a bit. I've never seen someone in an mma fight get such easy takedowns and do ABSOLUTELY nothing with them. He's so much stronger than Hoger, he could have gotten a full mount on him in the first round if he had any idea what to do...just so odd.
Lei Tong Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Evans is a guy who for the biggest fight of his life (against Imes), went and trained with his fucking college wrestling team. That should give you an idea of how seriously he takes other aspects of the game.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Rashad won this fight 2 rounds to 1 IMO. He really needs to improve his submission and finishing fighters when he has them hurt. He has alot of potential.
jwpeer Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Split decision = exactly what that fight deserved.
randomguy Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 30-27 Rashad? What a fucking joke UFC judging is. They have got to stop rewarding guys for lying on top of someone while the guy on the bottom tries to submit them.

That should give you an idea of how seriously he takes other aspects of the game. ROFL I never heard that. It's amazing how someone with so much athletic talent, can just lack the knowledge/perception to realize what he needs to do to use it properly. It'd be GREAT for the sport if he applied himself and learned the skills he needs to be good at it. Who knows though.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Rashad can take punishment, he's got alot of heart. But damn man, WTF are his trainers doing with him. He has to learn how to finish off fighters if he wants to be an elite fighter. He as all the potential in the world!
randomguy Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Jardine looks a hell of a lot better at this smaller size. Edit: Bonnar always ducks straight down, at some point someone is going to wise up and throw a looping hook followed by an uppercut and break his jaw.
jwpeer Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Bonnar looks to be limping already at the end of that round.
jwpeer Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Now that's how you EARN a decision at the end of the fight.
AboveAverage484 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I think Bonnar got exposed somewhat in this fight. Jardine looked pretty good.
jwpeer Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 BS. Maybe it's time to reevaluate the judging certification for the ufc.
randomguy Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Now that's how you EARN a decision at the end of the fight. Ha ha. But really, I get your point. How did Bonnar win that? He got in one good shot but Jardine kept his wits and covered up quickly. Other than that Jardine had the clear edge.

He got in one good shot but Jardine kept his wits and covered up quickly. Other than that Jardine had the clear edge. They want to make Bonnar a star. The UFC judging is as "legit" as boxing's far too often for my liking.
AboveAverage484 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 If you wanna see some REALLY weird judging get some old RINGS fights.

The UFC judging is as "legit" as boxing's far too often for my liking. The weird thing is I made that post BEFORE the decision, referring to Jardines end of the round flurry, I clearly had that pegged as that clinching the 3rd round and the match for him. I had the match scored 29/28 in favor of jardine. (I'm usually pretty good with scoring, I know for a fact I get more right than rogan does, he's always wrong)
randomguy Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I know you did. That's why I laughed. I understood exactly what you meant and yeah, you were right. Except for the whole judges being morons part that got in the way.

Except for the whole judges being morons part that got in the way. Heh ok! Yeah judges are often morons at these things. Maybe they ought to move to like a panel of 9 judges?
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I see how the judges gave it to Bonnar, he knocked down Jardine in each round and sometimes the judges take that into account, Bonnar was the closest to finishing the fight twice, knocking Jardine down and putting a RNC in that failed and knocking him down again, so i can see why they gave him the decesion.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I hate Reshad. Put him against Arlovski. Now. I want his head knocked off. Boring lay and pray motherfucker.
AboveAverage484 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I hate Reshad. Put him against Arlovski. Now. I want his head knocked off. Boring lay and pray motherfucker. I don't hate him but he does kind of suck. He just seems so one dimensional. Not like Arona or Filho, fellow lay and prayers who at least posses competent stand-up and grade A ground games. As soon as he faces someone with some semblance of takedown defense and who can rough him up standing, he's finished.
Guest Brian Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I knew he was going to get the third after the knockdown unless something drastic happened, and assumed he had done enough to win the second.
Guest Brian Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 And I also want to say, Rogan was on fire tonight. The man was a quote machine.
