Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 I don't know. After seeing all the shit Matt's been taking I want him to win (plus, I'm a bit partial to wrestlers formerly being one myself). I just have a bad feeling that Mike beats him after Matt does something 'stupid' after taking him down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Well, Matt's definitely not a striker by trade but he looks like he's got some heavy hands. Just doesn't know what to do with him when he gets Mike on the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Matt's dominating with sheer athleticism, and Nichels looks like shit. Still not as bad as Tait/Haynes, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 If Matt had another 6 months of training this fight would've been over in 30 seconds. Agreed. Mike looks like he can't decide what to do out there so he's just trying to stand up with Matt. And not doing it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwpeer 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Matt could become a REALLY good fighter. He has a GREAT left jab that has good snap and clearly more power than it looks. His right hand has NO power though and isn't a threat at all. He doesn't ever go for a rear-choke though, and that's curious to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Sloppy is definitely a great adjective to describe the first round, that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted June 2, 2006 It looks like Mike is too psyched out over the aura of Matt rather than just actually fighting Matt toe-to-toe. It's like he's scared of him. He's just getting jabbed over and over and not listening to his corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His right hand has NO power though and isn't a threat at all. He doesn't ever go for a rear-choke though, and that's curious to me... Yeah he had that rear choke set up a couple of times. Isn't the right arm the one Bisping popped in training? Matt may just be favoring it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Mike is quite possibly the worst fighter I've seen on this show. Aside from upkicks he's done shit against a guy who can't use one arm or hear what's being said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
