I know it's the same at every event, but the lack of people who bother showing up for the early action is madness IMO.

Crazy isn't it? Especially considering the price of tickets. If I goto any event(fights, comedy or music gig) I go for the lot! Go support the fighter or the warm up band, cheer for them. I was raging after missing the 1st fight at 194 after getting caught up in a sing song in the bar beforehand

Yeah I was thinking the same myself. You could hear a pin drop. I noticed aswell that the full walk ins are shown on tv for the early prelims. I thought it used to be the case that the fighters walk ins weren't shown until the main card?

Are these not only on fight pass? Not sure we'll see too many walk outs during pre lims or main card considering its a FN on btsport later

Referee has got to take a point for that knee FFS. It doesn't matter whether he was aiming for the shoulder, Rogan. He hit him in the head, therefore it was an illegal knee = point deduction.

That_Guy

Illegal knee...

ASOT

That's a bull**** point deduction there was no malace in either.

That_Guy

And now an eye poke... Jesus. Ok, I don't mind about the eye poke but the illegal knee is deserving of a point deduction.

Gamebred

A joke that point deduction.

That_Guy

Combining the two is BS. Whatever about there being no malice in the illegal knee, it's still illegal.

Eye poke's happen a lot. No need to deduct a point for that.

Paully D

Referee knew he made a balls of that illegal knee so wrongly tried to make up for it when the opportunity to deduct a point from the eye poke presented itself.

I would have given it to Jackson 29-28 before any of the nonsense happened.

That_Guy

Ref says to watch his fingers as he's been doing it all fight. I didn't hear a single warning before that eye poke.

Draw??? Really?

Paully D

Very interesting to see how Brown looks here. Dwyer certainly not the tomato can these guys usually get on their debut.

Maka won rounds 2 & 3 imo.

Tough one to call. I had Jackson winning but there ya go. Close fight.

That_Guy

This is a hard fight to call. Both are KO experts in their own right. I expect the fight to finish that way but not sure who it'll be in favour of. Dwyer has UFC experience but 2 losses and only 1 victory in the promotion.

I don't understand "Vegas odds" but it showed Brown as underdog +100 there. PP Had Brown at 4/5 & Dwyer evens

plus 100 is even money.

Dwyer available at 23/20 before the fight started. I think the UFC just pick one sportsbook/casino and use their prices.

Chuck Mindenhall on Twitter:

Is it at least possible that Randy Brown was simply looking for a flight? And got caught up in a misunderstanding?

Paully D

Ronda or Randy with that throw? :eek:

ASOT

Wasnt a great fight there, brown didn't look great.

That_Guy

29-28 Brown on my card anyway.

Paully D

29-28 Brown.

That's Dwyer's last fight in the UFC.

Understandably shaky performance from Brown I suppose, but he'll need to improve massively next time out. His 2nd fight will be very interesting.

Gamebred

No hes no star anyways very gun shy,poor showing.

I think that's a bit unfair. First fight in the UFC, biggest exposure (online at least anyway) and a lot of hype coming into this fight.

Did what he had to do and weathered an early storm.

He may not be as hyped as Sage but I think it's unfair to write him off after one fight.

Yeah think you're right. I don't get the + & - odds they work with. I can't even get my head around decimal odds though either just stick with fractions.

Decent fight I thought, laptop was lagging a bit watching it though 1st round was close but think Brown won 2nd & 3rd. Fair decision. Must be some nerves from Brown but thought he looked decent enough for his 1st UFC fight

Bar the judo throw I seen nothing in his game really to point to him being anyway special time will tell but Im not expecting much from him.

Wooooooooo!

The "woo" chants have started... Good god, I hate listening to that shíte.

Don't blame him. Fights have been a bit 'meh' thus far.
