*Spoilers* UFC 99 Discussion

Valasquez ground and pound is like Nick Diaz's stand up.

I think with a better game and a longer training camp Kongo could have taken it.

Rich Franklin has it already!

if the first round was 4.15 i would score it a 10-8 to davis. but in the last 45 seconds hardy got up off the ground and turned it around, almost drawing it but you'd have to give the first round 10-9 to davis.

Again, 2nd round is hard to judge. You have to give it to Hardy because he dropped him with the knee. Davis is walking into the punches a la Wandy and eating them up so he can throw his own. Hardy, like Franklin, is just staying out of the brawl and using his reach. DAvis got the take downs and the submission attempts. I think if you're DAvis biased you could call it a 9-9 but I think the impact of the knockdown would sneak it a 10-9 hardly.

First half of third round belonged to Davis with the knock down punch and the control on the ground. But the tide turned when he allowed himself to be taken down. He caught that elbow, bloodied himself up and looked totally wrecked by the end of the fight. While Hardy looked like he'd only had a few rounds of sparring.

IT's very very close but I think Davis has better clinch, better ground but didn't implement the better game plan and came off the worst of the big exchanges so I can understand the decision.
