The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale: Team Joanna vs. Team Claudia (July 08 2016)

[JAKEPEAVY21]

wow never had a chance

[JIBBBY]

Was worried about that happening.. Damn I knew the kid was raw and Kevin lee was no joke with his grappling advantage.. Errrr!!! 1-1 now..

[bjpenn85]

MMA in a nutshell. Everyone talks shit about lees last fight and then he comes back to prove you wrong. He is the better fighter, higher potential, so no one should be shocked here.

Ref saying move, literally 3 seconds after Jake is on the bottom GTFOH

I thought Matthews could survive the first round and wear him out.

[bjpenn85]

I think we all underrate, or at least overlook attitude. Like alvarez yesterday. Ones mentality needs to be in check. Lee wanted to win, therefor he easily could since he had the skills to do it.

Don't think it would have mattered Spurg as he was flattened out and getting thumped.. Kid wasn't gonna get out of that position.. Domination by Kevin Lee... Next..

BJ got that one right.. Good dog hit BJ!!!

He prob would've finished him, but that's the quickest warning I've ever heard from a ref

Well he also told him several timez. I thought it was fine reffing

I only had Lee Liang, i didnt have kevin lee. I skipped betting that fight cause i thought it was to difficult to find a logical winner. I think it was the right decision to make. Lee fought so bad last fight. Hes so inconsistent first rapes moontasri, then loose against that brazilian dude, then fight veeeeery close against efrain which sucks, and then buttfakk matthews, so you never know which kevin lee that shows up, but....i now think he might have found his groove.

Well, shit.

Oh ok I thought you had action on KL...

I felt the same way but decided to gamble anyways on the Aussie kid. Good restraint BJ on a no play anyways....

That was a tough call before the fight started.. Lee could have gassed if the fight stayed standing.. Rule #1 in betting MMA you should always go with the stronger wrestler and grappler when in doubt.. I got away from that MMA logic with that fight.. Cost me a buck fittty...

[spurginobili]

Well he also told him several timez. I thought it was fine reffing

Ref warned him, then Jake moved a little..literally 2 seconds after the move he warned him again, and again

I'm for fighter safety, but that was unusual and without a doubt the quickest warning I've ever heard

If that's gonna be the new call from refs, then so be it

I was on him for a few units. I was wrong on that one. It happens, lots of close coinflip fights tonight.

Garbage stoppage simple as that bullshit

Garbage stoppage simple as that bullshit

A bit to early? he had to move, it appears he gave up. Its no the refs task to make people want to fight? He gave up and the ref made it easy for him. If youre not moving, youre giving up. So many fighters give up mount or a favourable position instead of just accepting getting flattened. Beyond me that you dont see whats happening. Some of the shots were pretty hard, i mean, have ever taking hard shots on the ground?

Agreed. I lost money on Matthews, but still thought the stoppage was okay. He needed to try to explode out and was getting hit hard

Diff opinions not in the mood to argue ... Let's get it smith

[xagonzx]

On Anthony smith here straight here.

Doesn't have to be "argument", but agree. It's over, on to the next!

Who won the Jingliang fight and how?

Jiagling first round KO

[Ghenghis Kahn]

these are some big middle weights. they look like light heavies.

[JC2008]

Jiagling first round KO

Awesome, thanks!

[Ghenghis Kahn]

big but slow as hell.

[JC2008]

Anthony Smith decision was +900 after r1. Was worth a poke, hedged with CZ decision +240. And Smith round 3 +1100.

Barring a robbery, doesn't look very good. Would love a 3rd round finish for Smith though.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

saved by the bell

[JIBBBY]

Cezar gassing and could get finished in this 3rd.. Got one round each thru 2.. Come on Cezar salad hang in there use your wrestling and grappling advantage cause you suck standing and striking....

[xagonzx]

Ugh. Can't stuff the takedowns...

[JC2008]

Barring a robbery, doesn't look very good. Would love a 3rd round finish for Smith though.

That was close with that choke, Cezar decision was +550 before the fight started. We'll see what happens.. CZ probably wins a decision but we've seen robberies before.

Yes, i agree. I actually hedged some of my Smith straight with that Cezar decision.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

tough one to judge

[JIBBBY]

I got Cezar 29-28.. We see?
