After the Erosa decision he got before you can never rule him out when it goes the distance! I just don't think he's that good. He seems to think he could take ranked ufc guys but hard to imagine him lasting long against anyone numbered.

Whelo79 · 01-09-2018 11:27PM

Yeah man stuff the commentator trying to suggest Pimblett may have won the 2nd.

The commentator as well 'my gut feeling tells me Bak won rounds 3,4 and 5'. Gut feeling? It was clear as day.

fermanagh_man · 01-09-2018 11:28PM

Who’s the miserable looking cow in the cage?

EagererBeaver · 01-09-2018 11:28PM

Fair play to the judges. One gave Bak three 10-8s, another one gave him two. Embarrassing stuff from the commentary team.

Pimblett was done after the first. Completely burnt himself out and was visibly gassed. He's a tough bastard though, never stopped trying.

From the moment Bak escaped the RNC he was superior in every facet of the thing.

Whelo79 · 01-09-2018 11:29PM

Graham Boylan looks disgusted here!

martyos121 · 01-09-2018 11:29PM

I think Bak is an unranked UFC calibre fighter and Paddy isn’t, to be fair. The first round won’t change my mind.

Yeah I don't think Bak would bring anything worthwhile to the UFC. Heart maybe but not much more.

Completely agree. Realistically, who of note would he trouble? Pimblett should make what he can from the scene and start preparing for life after fighting because he's simply not good enough to go the UFC and succeed.

He’d fill a spot on the undercard of a Fight Night and be fairly competitive, make some money and come out with a 50/50 record IMO. His grappling isn’t bad in fairness based on what I’ve seen from rounds 2-5.

Paddy is clearly a couple of levels below that again. All he has is a chin and alright BJJ, which looks better than it is given the calibre of opponents he’s fought.

My recording cut off bang on 11, half way through round 2. Bah.

dulux99 · 02-09-2018 02:00AM

Pimblett, even though I like him, is such an average fighter. The fact that the commentators were talking about a potential draw shows how crooked cage warriors is.

selassie · 02-09-2018 12:31PM

Would like to see Dylan Tuke fight Pimblett, big scalp to take if he can beat him.

jimmii · 02-09-2018 01:00PM

They've given him such a big hand up in the past wouldn't have been surprised if he'd managed to get a result last night too! If he really wants to go as far as he says he dies then maybe last night is the wake up call he needs. He can keep on beating the guys they feed to him or he can take some time out and really try improve everything and then come back and see where it takes him. Fighting every 3 or 4 months isn't going to help his development especially with all the cutting. Must have been incredibly painful behind the scenes seeing their golden bigger beat then the new champ saying he's off on holiday and the only person allowed to call him is the boss of another promotion!

I could see Jack Grant getting a shot at some point presumably on a UK card. Certainly knows how to finish and likes to try some different stuff like the jumping knee while being in the middle of a single leg!

dulux99 · 02-09-2018 04:27PM

I'm not a BJJ practitioner, but how the hell did paddy not finish that choke in the first round? It was sunk under the chin. Just not a strong enough squeeze?

Mine did that too. For this very reason I always record the programme after every Cage Warriors and UFC Fight Night event.

The choke was deep, you could see the discomfort on Bak's face, but Pimblet's forearm was under Bak's chin, rather than his elbow. This means he was sqeezing the windpipe instead of the carotid. Bak probably would have tapped to it in training, but had it been positioned better, he would have went out, just like the fight earlier in the night (the fighter escapes me at the moment).

Also, if Pimblet had the arm further around so he was on the carotids, it would have been easier to secure his hand on his own bicep, especially with the gloves on.

Make no mistake though, the choke was tight and Bak was in pain, and in trouble.

I dont think so I always have to stream it, great card this weekend

Rory v Moussai for the mw title
Rampage v Wandy for a bit of nostalgia
Lima v Koreshkov In the ww tournament
Pico v some lad from the street.

Really looking forward to the main event

Banger of an event really. Can't wait for it. The top 3 are amazing fights and I'm very intrigued to see Pico again.

I'm actually getting giddy thinking of the main event, it's going to be bloody I'd say.

Subcomandante Marcos · 24-09-2018 09:44PM

The main event should be a great fight. Two very evenly matched fighters in terms of skill. I actually think they are possible the best 170 and 185lb fighters on the planet, if not number 2 on their respective divisions for Rory the only question is who's better between himself, Woodley and Askren and I'd fancy Mousassi over any of the top 5 at MW in the UFC.
Mousassi is a much bigger man though and has fought and beaten men a lot bigger than Rory but you can never underestimate Rory.

Agree with all of this, that's why it's such an exciting fight.

EagererBeaver · 24-09-2018 09:55PM

Ha, I suggested Mousassi was the best MW around a couple of months back and was laughed at for it. Definitely right up there.

Still crazy how easy the UFC let him go. I wonder if he'd go back, I'd love to see him fight Bobby knuckles (who I think is the best mw in the world) that would be some scrap.

Over on this side of the pond were still getting a raw deal. Can't record that channel. Better than nothing I suppose but it doesn't stop me from (allegedly

) downloading it illegally the next day
