I have to admit I like the downed man to suffer real damage, rather than just cop a barrage of nothing punches.

As I said, this fight went 10 seconds longer that it could have, he was given more time, but he wasn't badly hurt. I guess the UFC doesn't impose my rule that the man be hurt rather than merely beat.

Yeah I agree, 10 seconds earlier probably would have looked better. It's not really the damage im considering for this stoppage, mainly the fact he was in the middle of a grappling transition. super hard call and he was probably done, but i would have liked to see if he could have got to a better position over the next few seconds.

125lb is a stupid weight, anyone of average height that has done much training will have > 125lb LMM.

Awesome

Early stoppage for mine.
Oh well.. sometimes they stop it early, sometimes perfect, and sometimes way too late.
But oh well it's in the books now.

Chael is so salty about something haha

It's just the usual schtick him and Ariel do, they're the same on the show they have on ESPN.

 

[Ry009]

Hardy was actually pretty impressive all things considered in his post fight presser.

Take back saying fairplay to TJ.

Take back saying fairplay to TJ.

Why

 

[Ry009]

Why

He's saying the only things he can, but he went full bore on thinking he got robbed.

re-watching the event, some stats were shown at the end of cowboy's fight

But the stoppage was a tad early.. that can't really be denied.

 

[JG22]

Can definitely see why he stopped it, the second knockdown.

I feel you almost have to ref title fights differently though, maybe that’s not right.

Compare it to Cyborg Nunes, there was no doubt about that with that final finish, this was like stopping that fight after the second knockdown

Oh yeah, I totally get the view of the call, but you can't blame the ref, calls should always be made on the side of the fighters safety.

Personally would like to see the fight again at 125 though.

It can because the fight could have been stopped at 0:22. He was given more time to fight, he got dropped again and hit to the head multiple times without defending himself. If you want to argue over a few more seconds, then you are arguing semantics. 0:32 or 0:40 makes no difference.

Just watched PVZ. Props for the release. Kind of the opposite extreme to Palhares.

I think I'm kinda over the 125 div (sorry to whoever cares about that division), thers's a spot for it somewhere, but I'm a little over it for now.

I'd very much prefer the rematch fight just go to 135.

I'll check the fight again. Still think the fight was slightly ruined by an early stoppage, but oh well.

Hate the campaigner, but in terms of post match losing speeches wasnt the worst.

wasn't the worst but was still piss poor.

I liked TJ until the build up to this fight. Carried on like a cocky campaigner.

The UFC paid me a s**t ton of money to close this division.

I am the best pound for pound fighter ever.

I want Holloway next, when im going for 3 belts!

Now the prick is refusing to admit he copped a TKO within 50 seconds. w***er!

maybe. Not sure if i agree or disagree tbh

The bloke got knocked down twice within 10-15 seconds and copped a barrage of punches. Wasnt really defending himself either

TJ was gone. The ref did him a favour. 5 seconds longer and he would have been out cold. Literally.

 

[Macpotata]

the killer shot was when he was getting up and he copped a hook through the jaw. Went back down again. It was done and dusted then and there.

Did dillashaw forget to take his gear

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

I get the argument that it could have been stopped, but fights have not been stopped in similar positions and turned out to be all-time classics.

Edgar vs Maynard II, Barry vs Kongo etc..

what are your thoughts on Cody Garbrandt?

tbf there have been many more times where the loser has taken way too much damage than necessary though

But if this teaches us anything, it is how hard it is on the ref on calling a fight over. I would lean towards the cautious approach of calling a fight a little early rather tan too late
