    Good even fight this commentary wont shut up about aldo tho?

    There is always a narrative with them. Other than the 2nd round Aldo didn't really outstrike him but was returning any one strike with 2 or 3 according to them. :confused:

    That's a disgraceful decision, Aldo won that fight.

    I thought Aldo won the fight, but the commentary was ridiculously OTT. It was much closer than what they were claiming.

    Biggest Aldo fan about but...... I felt Moraes took it, Aldo took the foot off the pedal. Terrible bias on the comms.

    Had money on Aldo and I really wanted to believe what the commentators were saying, but I just didn't see it. Good decision IMO.


  • Registered Users Posts: 663 ✭✭✭MidlanderMan


    Aldo won 2 of 3 rounds, easily, the only debate is whether he won all 3.

    Judges in MMA are an absolute disgrace.

    Aldo won it but they were drawing up the poster for him for the Cejudo fight he was getting springboard to as soon as he started throwing & not slowing. He did well to be fair but seeing them try to back pedal after the decision was quite fun.

    Three title fights... Cannot wait!
    Nunes in one
    Holloway decision
    Colby decision

    Mad to think we might possibly have 1 hour and 15 mins of fighting left

    This would be some redemption for GDR if she wins here tonight, esp if she stops Nunes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Thought that was a very even fight, if u had to call a winner it was marlin. Commentary blowing there load over aldo for nothing would turn u off watching , I dont want hype, 1 sided hype, just wanna see the fight n make my own judgement


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Couldn't watch a fight on mute before a smart ass comments. Would love a commentary free option.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Randamine to win here ko ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    I have a feeling there could be an upset here, style should suit De randamie. Nunes is a beast though and could make that prediction look silly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,050 ✭✭✭hawaii501


    Thought Aldo did just enough to get the decision but that 3rd rd he was non-existent.

    Was there any reason for no leg-kicks by Aldo? Any injuries sustained, found it very strange as a couple of leg-kicks in each rd would have swung it for him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,365 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    WTF is Bruce wearing? Disgraceful

    Moraes won the first for me. Aldo clearly the second. Third was close, thought aldo shaded it but wouldn't argue against moraes either.

    GDR looks like she doesnt even belong in there with AN.

    Surely thats a 10-8

    Yeah, deffo a 10-8 in the first. Nunes probably lost the second though. Interesting fight now.

    Great recovery from GDR in rd 2


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Another good fight this, randomine looks ****ed tho wont go the distance surly,?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    GDR's grappling is worse than expected.

    Aldo hasn't thrown leg kicks in around 5 years?

    I'm still surprised Nunes didn't finish the arm triangle in round one. Even on the ground she should be doing more than she is since. Nearly for caught at the start of round 4 which is nuts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Can’t get the fight on tv. Need updates. I’ve got Colby t finish 3rd round tko


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,365 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    49-45 imo


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭mangobob


    What a shame. That fight was entertaining on the feet, but turned into a one sided wrestle fest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,480 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I'd guess 50-43.

    Waitress for the judges to screw Nunes here.
