Idk, the exchange they had before it ended it looked like Curtis was landing. It's honestly hard to say, I'd have to watch it again.
lol how the fuck are you equating those two to O'Malley's loss.Yeah it's a loss wtf
Jones has a loss too
And Sean lost to chito
A loss is a loss
Vitor landed the grasing shot and cut Randy ? I mean Aspinal injurd himself.It's like Vitor's win over Randy Couture — it goes down as a win but it doesn't really tell us much about who the better fighter is.
He didn't. Basically nothing landed. I forget where, but I posted slow mo of every single exchange and neither of neither of them had even one hit as intended.Idk, the exchange they had before it ended it looked like Curtis was landing. It's honestly hard to say, I'd have to watch it again.
And if you look at the action again under a microscope, this here is the FULL fight.
-Straight right lands under the chin to neck/chest area, followup hook to the armpit pushes Tom off.
-Hard leg kick, but mostly picked up.
-Two 1-2's both miss.
-Counter right is just off center, it either misses or grazes the side of Tom's head.
-The follow up jab maybe lands well or was maybe more just a push just as Tom is stepping down and getting injured.
So basically, like one leg kick and one jab landed, and the one kick was blocked about as much as it could be and the jab was same time as the injury, so it could have caused it or partly been because of it.
I'm not taking Curtis' W away, but this is like the most non-consequential action to ever happen in a victory we've ever seen, so the large contingent of "Blaydes was clearly going to win" people boggle the fuck out of me.
But he did do something to cause the injury. He had already landed a combo on an earlier entry by Tom and Bisping even says Tom needs to be careful because Blaydes is landing each time Tom enters. Blaydes wasn't checking the kicks because he was countering the kick with a combo. He had already landed it once. So when Tom threw his kick, Blaydes threw his counter and Tom tried to step back out of range and blew out his knee.
Legit victory for Blaydes.
