Right, let's go Norman! Looking forward to this fight...going to be interesting. A big chance for him to make a leap forward, will tell us a lot on how he'll do in UFC I think.

I can't get over the attempted step, it's a rugby thing which has no practical application to Mma

Me neither it, was almost slow motion

On the plus side i really hope Pendred is at the Press Conference. The questions would be hilarious

rudiger2.0 · 19-01-2015 03:08AM

I'm a fairly sporadic viewer so I'd be interested to hear what people think Spencer did to win those last two rounds?

He is clearly the better fighter but it seemed like he sat back and let Pendred get in leg kicks and take downs, fruitless as they were.

csallmighty · 19-01-2015 03:08AM

Tough test for Parke, think he can do it though

leftism · 19-01-2015 03:09AM

Jesus, that was embarrassing! Its always terrible to see someone get robbed like that but its just embarrassing when it comes at the hands of an Irishman.

That result was a disgrace. Plain and simple...

JJayoo · 19-01-2015 03:09AM

I think Rogans's commentary made the fight look alot more one sided than it was.

DirkDiggly22 · 19-01-2015 03:10AM

Decisions like that really undermine the integrity of the sport.. You're talking about people's careers here.. What a ridiculous loss that is on Spencer's record.

This is what Nick Diaz was complaining about in previous interviews I think, that the scoring system is flawed and better fighters will continue to lose fights they clearly won because of it.

Nothing against Pendred. Fair play to him being in there, taking them punches and not wilting. But the panel or committee should really either overrule the decision or get them to go at it again, with this fight ruled null/void.

Is the fight streaming anywhere on the net?

Lets not go nuts. disgrace is too much.

Wrong flag there on Norman's card! :pac:

crybaby · 19-01-2015 03:12AM

Delighted for Pendred, keeps grinding out the wins. 1 down 2 to go.

Anyone else very happy to Van Buren get defeated?

@MMARoasted: Having drinks with Bill Cosby is a better Decision than that. #UFCBoston

Jesus I dunno about that. The judges put big emphasis on the TDs.

The other lad won imo

Yeah i think the TDs won it, but he done nothing with most of them. seriously hope he improves his striking

We've been saying that after every Pendred UFC fight though...

hey. he's been gettin the job done... give the guy his credit

he's still relatively new to the big time. i don't see him challenging the top brass in the division or anything, but credit where credit's due he's getting good experience and climbing the ladder. a lot he needs to work on - namely speed - if he's not to come unstuck in his next bout

jodaw · 19-01-2015 03:14AM

Cathal post a while back he was going to get CM Punk for his first fight and was going to retire him

:D:D

Sherdog have a thread about Cathal V CM Punk ...

Now, not to say corrupt or anything but could the UFC be feeding Cathal to CM to make him look better and build hype. Cathal seems to think CM would be fed to him

Yeah to be honest Spencer wasn't that great in rounds 2 or 3. Pendred could easily have nicked at least one of those rounds. He clearly won round 1 though.

Fightpass. Or is that just preliminaries

Parke shades the first for me

Same as that, very close though.

19-01-2015 03:20AM

ahh here that kung foo style double kick is pointless

I never thought I would see a worse tattoo than McGregor...

Fightpass has the lot. You can pick up a 7-day free trial and just remember to cancel it

A split decision is when one judge gives the fight to the opposite fighter to the other two judges. ...So you were going to disagree with yourself?!

sorry, my bad it's a bit late

or early :pac: i had Pendred to win 29-28. wasn't pretty but typical Irish begrudgery by many saying it was robbery. Spencer rocked him in the first, but he didn't finish him off and other than that what real damage did he do? not a whole lot. Pendred took him down a number of times (including twice in the first), did good work on Spencer's lead leg, and landed a number of shots of his own. not pretty by any means, but deserved i.m.o.

most people on here are rooting for mcgregor because hes irish despite his personally i dont think "typical irish begrudgery" comes in to it

Easy Rod · 19-01-2015 03:23AM

I think it could've been scored 29-28 for either fighter. Don't really see the controversy about the outcome...30-27 is a weird one though.

the nikkei is rising · 19-01-2015 03:23AM

Parke is paying for not developing a standout skill here
