UFC 222: Cyborg vs. Kunitskaya (March 03, 2018)

[Kermit]

Dern is kind of flabby.

[Shagdogy]

Real interesting first round. I give it to Dern but she better have cardio or things could fall apart on her fast here.

[JIBBBY]

I got a new rule in Womens MMA - always bet on the uglier girl with the worse body.. Cuties get worked typically at the UFC level from what I noticed.. The ugly ones like Cyborg just kick ass and probably because they were never told they were pretty and they better fight and win instead in life.. ...

[JIBBBY]

Dern is kind of flabby.

Yoder not bad looking on the flip.. Throw a dress on her and doll her up and I bet she's hot...

[JIBBBY]

Looking like this fight isn't hitting the ground. Probably Dern by decision now if I had to guess.. Maybe not though Yoder coming on and using her reach now..

I hate chick fights.. This is so boring for me..

[Richard Clock]

Should we just fade big favorites that are women unless they are Cyborg?

[Kermit]

1-1

[Richard Clock]

Not that it matters, but how ridiculous is it that this fight was regarded in higher prestige than Dodson/Munhoz?

[Kermit]

Yoder not bad looking on the flip.. Throw a dress on her and doll her up and I bet she's hot...

[Shagdogy]

Dern has the Sean O'Malley opportunity here... she can either come through in a must win round 3 or wilt and show she's not ready. She MUST be on the inside.

[JIBBBY]

Not that it matters, but how ridiculous is it that this fight was regarded in higher prestige than Dodson/Munhoz?

No idea? Alot of MMA fans like these chick fights.. I admit they are sometimes entertaining but usually they all go the distance and are pretty boring for the most part..

[Kermit]

Not that it matters, but how ridiculous is it that this fight was regarded in higher prestige than Dodson/Munhoz?

Yeah, really.

[Fence]

At least Dern isn't being coached by edmond tarverdyan. Haha1-1, I believeYoder's got some TDD - she improved; still weak punches though

[Kermit]

Thug Rose would wreck that fat-ass.

[DR225]

Yoder is getting too aggressive, she should just outbox her from distance.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Yoder not bad looking on the flip.. Throw a dress on her and doll her up and I bet she's hot...

And she has a tramp stamp, so probably does anal.

[PhoKing]

a bjj "expert" wants to stand up most of the fight -______-

[Shagdogy]

Let's go Dern by dec +325. C'mon.

[Kermit]

Let's go Dern by dec +325. C'mon.

She'll definitely get that.

[RussianMike]

Horrible decision to go for the choke. Looked like she was few more punches from getting the stop.

[Sanity Check]

Good showing by Dern.

She needs to work on her athleticism though. You can see she wasn't very strong in the clinch.

Of course some of the judges could go 30-27 Yoder the way things have been going.

Yoder is getting too aggressive, she should just outbox her from distance.

She could have won this way. Dern not very impressive. and Rogan just terrible.

[Fence]

Let's go Dern by dec +325. C'mon.

You're on fire!

[turbozed]

Well that +400 line was clearly off. Glad I hit it but not happy my hedge at +130 Dern after Rd2 didn't go through

[Kermit]

My wife is in the living room bitching that Yoder should have won.

[JIBBBY]

Let's go Dern by dec +325. C'mon.

Nice again Shag!!! I went for the Dern sub and missed it.. You had that right!! Chicks always go the distance... Should have known..

[RussianMike]

Thing about Dern, is she looks like she actually enjoys getting hit. Tough as nails girl.

[Fence]

That should not have been a unanimous decision. Dern clearly won 1 (higher sig strikes) and 3 (takedown and control)

Judging blows.

[Richard Clock]

She is going to be good, this was her 6th career fight. Being elite at an important aspect of the sport like BJJ really raises your upside. Just shows how impressive Ortega's rise to 3rd ranked in division in 13 career fights is remarkable.

[Shagdogy]

You're on fire!

Got a lot left out there still on Frankie, O'Malley, and a little Zingano, and Struve/Arlovski over. Night is still up in the air. I'll take the decent start though. Thanks Fence!

Correction (should have) been UD

She has some good toughness. I like how she brawled her way into the clinch even though she was clearly the less technical striker. She improves her striking skill but keeps her decent power and toughness and she will be a lot tougher.

[Sanity Check]

Thing about Dern, is she looks like she actually enjoys getting hit. Tough as nails girl.

She's an expert in a sport where people literally practice choking each other all day long.

What do you expect?

Her last 5 opponents have a combined record of 20-16. The last girl she beat had the best record and was 39 years old.

[RussianMike]

When betting decisions, you've absolutely gotta be factoring in awareness of which fighters are getting a push from the sponsorship to possibly become future stars. Perhaps the judging may be fair, but on close calls judges will almost always show love for those fighters. Every time. Was there really any doubt McGregor would win that Diaz 2 decision? Same thing here.
