Man, Diego looked great last night

[MD]

Did you see the bombs he was landing at the end of round one?

Good win for the Nightmare, glad to see him back to old form. Not sure how he'll do against the elite of the division, but I hope they give him a step up for his next fight. A rematch with Melendez would make sense, I thought he won the first one.

Haha

Potential champ?

[MD]

I'm not saying Melendez robbed him or anything, it was close, I just thought Sanchez landed the harder shots in the first, and dominated the third. Really close though, could have gone either way.

I doubt it. Pettis scramble too good, too strong. Diego isn't evolving any more, but he still has the boxing to compete with most guys.

[Kermit]

I remember Diego having his just bleed moments, but didn't Glibert land like twice as many shots as Diego?

He has the boxing, but he seems to take many shots before he unleashes his barrage on his opponents and 1/2 of his shots miss.

I hope they make Diego Sanchez/Nate Diaz happen.

Gilbert landed more in terms of volume, but Diego was walking through them, and he was hurting Gilbert with almost every shot. It looked a lot like Kennedy vs Bisping, but without the takedowns; one guy backing up, landing weak strikes and out-pointing, while the other guy is landing overhand rights, huge bombs, and looking to finish.

[Kermit]

The only think I remember Diego doing in that fight was landing an uppercut late in the 3rd round that dropped Gilbert. The rest of the fight was mainly Gilbert technically busting Diego's face up.

[Kermit]

I think Gilbert even dropped Diego to his knees near the end of the first round when they got into a wild exchange. I know Diego said Gil's punches were soft, but they busted him up pretty good.

remember that post I made about eating crow on one of your previously retarded thoughts?

Well, you're doing it again unless this is some inside joke I missed on with you and your silly sbr crew.

[Kermit]

Yep, Gilbert did drop Diego to his knee in the first.

This video pretty much covers everything that happened throughout the entire fight. There is no way that I could give that fight to Diego. The only thing he won was the amount of blood lost.

[Wilbo86]

Yeah there's no doubt he's taken some of his recent losses and learned from them. Diego is still evolving as a fighter at this stage of his career, its admirable. In no small part due to the tutelage of Greg Jackson and his ability to tailor his training style and accent to each of his fighters.

It was a slip. Diego still did more damage.

[Kermit]

Bullshit that was a slip. He got caught with a right and a left..

As for damage done, look at their faces after the fight.

And you can say "Well Diego always gets busted up" and that is all fine and dandy, but you are not going to win a fight if you are blocking the majority of your opponents punches with your face.

Pal please tell me you're not one of these fat shits online crying about how Pearson was robbed. I don't know where this outcry is coming from. My guess is its related to Diego being a stud and thus a lot of jealousy has spilled over from fat kids who wear elastic jeans. Its clear Diego took all 3 rounds last night. He was the aggressor. All that British phagboy Ross Geller did was run around and pitter patter. Diego tuned him up all night. Clear win for Sanchez and i am sick of the "robbery" nonsense.

Exactly. Even Thor said he gave it to Diego, and he's usually the first to call robbery conspiracy. Punisher PM'd me after round one and asked me if it could be 10-8 Diego. He mauled Pearson when they exchanged and was constantly moving forward, how do you score ineffective volume over that?

I'm hearing you bro. I sometimes wonder what these phagets are watching. Did u see those flurries Diego went at Ross with? You could see the fear in Ross' eyes. The man looked defeated after round 1. When the final horn sounded you could see the relief in his eyes that the fight was over. He knew he lost and knows he was lucky to survive that last Sanchez mega flurry. The only issue I take with it is the judge who scored it for Ross. I think its time these judges are held accountable for scoring rounds in favor of pitter patter and running ala bisping.

Crazy Talk, he got outstruck by a huge margin. No credible online mma websites scored the fight for Diego, in fact the poll at Sherdog has to be the most one sided for a fighter that I have ever seen there, so I am certainly not alone.

10-8 Diego..? Based on what?
I am now convinced you are just trolling the forum.

And Thor is the guy who tries to say the the Underdogs never win decisions. Well what about this fight?

You're just supporting our argument. 90% of Sherdog posters are shills paid by the UFC to push certain messages to the public, such as "Pearson got robbed!" so that Pearson won't lose any stock and the public won't think that he just got his ass kicked.

It is clear to me you and your media pals do not factor in aggression and octagon control. Diego had boatloads of it while Ross ran the entire fight too scared to engage. Take all the stats and throw that shit out. Its like a football team gaining more yards but losing. Points are what matters and the points went in favor of Sanchez.

Following a guy around the ring and getting picked apart isn't going to win you any fights reagardless of how aggressive that you are. If anything, Diego was less aggressive in last night's fight than he had been in his fights before that. And most of the wild punches that Diego threw missed their target.

I had Diego last night at +130 and even I know that I got the gift of the decade.

There are posts all over the internet about Pearson getting robbed, not just Sherdog. Shills paid by the UFC? If that is the case, then why is there so much UFC bashing there?

No 10-8 rounds but 10-9 across the board for Diego was the only reasonable scorecard. I have one question to ask you? Did you watch the fight or are u drinking the media and fanboy koolaid?

[Vaughany]

Lol ohhh kermit, youve taken the bait like a greedy trout

Apparently so.

I never saw Melendez illegal throat grab the first time I watched the fight. Should have lost a point right there. Moves it from close fight to robbery for me now.

[Bumdeal]

Poor Diego has to keep getting shit from haters when he wins these amazing decisions

[Wilbo86]

Lol, this thread delivers.

[MD]

Lol ohhh kermit, youve taken the bait like a greedy trout

It's not "bait" to call the media out on their bullshit.

Diego won that fight.

lots of money was on Pearson not Diego. Only reason i took Diego was because it was in New Mexico. I only took it for 50 thinking he had no chance but a robbery. Underdogs win decisions when no one is betting them. Underdogs don't win decisions when they are being bet heavy.

[Thor4140]

i was on the right side
