... I dunno, apart from the **** commentary, I just thought Josh did 'More' to win that bout. Don't get me wrong though it was close.

You know, I kind of felt that way too. Not robbed. It was a close fight and I didn't scream at the outcome but I thought Thomson looked like the better man that night.

Melendez definitely lost under Unified Stockton Rules, i.e. he who looks more fucked up lost.

Yeah you're right I wasn't yelling at the TV, as you said it was close, but like yourself I just thought that Josh did 'more' and deserved the win.

Mmmmmm unified Stockton Rules...

Cormier's hands + his wrestling = big trouble for a lot of the hw division imo

Yeah true, It would be interesting to see who comes out best out of Velasquez and Cormier in training.

I think he won for sure. It was close enough for the amateur refs to screw up, and I've seen way worse, although I'm not sure about being robbed.

It is interesting, but practice is practice. Both are very talented athletes.

It seems strike force does that often , they put these great fights together on the under cards but no one ever gets to see them. The Cavalcante , Vallie-Flagg fight was good , but did you or anyone see the first fight of the night with Bobby King Green vs James Terry? That fight was great Green is one exciting fighter , cant wait to see him fight again!
