**Vaughany** · 07-02-11, 10:23 PM

They'll do a rubber match now

**spurginobili** · 07-02-11, 10:24 PM

One judge scored that 50-45? What? Huh?

**Poppa Catfish** · 07-02-11, 10:24 PM

**gym rat** · 07-02-11, 10:24 PM

Now V, I had Cruz by decision but 50-45 is absolutely horrible scoring. Much more to complain about here for somebody.

**bogbat** · 07-02-11, 10:24 PM

yes!!!

**The Bet Master** · 07-02-11, 10:25 PM

50-45?

**v1y** · 07-02-11, 10:27 PM

50-45 is pretty bad. I actually thought 1, 2, and 4 were all tenably Faber's, and I actually gave 1 and 4 to Faber.

**sportsfanatic** · 07-02-11, 10:28 PM

it'll be a long time before bader get's another title shot.

i don't know. faber's got a lot of tough guys he'll have to beat before getting another shot.

**knownone** · 07-02-11, 10:31 PM

I had Faber winning, Not upset at the outcome it was a close fight but MMA judging is still flat out awful.

Yeah tht's an utter sin! Cruz was lucky to get 3 rounds

**iQon** · 07-02-11, 10:52 PM

Maybe it's because I didn't bet any fights, but that was a damn good PPV. Only one fight I could have lived without.

Spike's undercard wasn't too shabby, either.

**JuicedUp** · 07-02-11, 11:02 PM

yea, this is the best event I've seen in a long time. Facebook fights and all.

**Vaughany** · 07-02-11, 11:05 PM

Every fight was great except Bowles/MIzugaki...one of best events in long time.

**Vaughany** · 07-02-11, 11:07 PM

Condit got KO of the NIght.

Could of got Condit KO of the Night at +1600 and Tito SOTN at +3300 on some Euro sites.

**Kaladarus** · 07-02-11, 11:14 PM

Lots of good fights for sure. I was pretty sure this was one of the best cards to bet on. I really liked my bets coming into it, but I ended up slightly in the negative. That kind of ruined the card a little bit for me.

Where's the feed for this? The one on the UFC site isn't working for me.

Which rounds did Faber win clearly? It really depends on how much you weigh power shots against pure striking volume, but I don't think a 50-45 scorecard is all that bad.

After re-watching the fight I think power shots are the reason I feel Faber won at least 2 rounds, He had Cruz visibly hurt 4 times in the fight. On the other hand Cruz really didn't have Faber in trouble at all.

This fight kinda reminded me of Penn vs Edgar 1 where Edgar's movement and volume striking won him the fight even though he did very little actual damage in the fight.

I'm starting to find these movement based fighters very annoying sure technically it's interesting but from a fight stand point these guys are dancing to decisions.

**jin2daj** · 07-03-11, 02:15 AM

i cant believe bader lost. im so glad the juice was too high to lay any money on him but wow. war tito!!

I agree that the volume punches from Cruz and constantly running around is an annoying style but when you are knocked down from a punch in a fight there has to be some serious weight given there whether it is a flash knockdown for one second or not.

Knock downs in which the recipient immediately rises to their feet whilst showing no signs of being hurt should not be given "serious weight". That's absurd.

I agree that Cruz should have won the fight but I thought Faber could have got a few rounds based on the harder punches landing and knocking Cruz down. Two judges agreed but I still think 50-45 is unfair score.

**stefan084** · 07-03-11, 04:18 PM

of course knock downs should be given more weight--in boxing, if someone gets a flash knockdown (has to put a hand on the mat,etc) there is a standing eight count regardless if the person quickly recovers or not. there has to be a method to determine which strikes had more impact from a damage perspective,otherwise why swing hard? it would just become a matter of who can pitty pat and touch the opponent with their gloves the fastest, which it seems like we're heading towards
