Ref didn’t see the lame tap

Or saw it and just hates Do Bronx

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

The ref didn’t stop the fight. Felder has to keep going because you can’t just assume the ref saw the tap

Yep, ref's the one to blame. Having a style that revolves around laying dead on the mat doesn't really help, either.

While I get what you're saying, the amount of times he hit him after knowing he tapped was a disgusting amount.

 

[shortlefthook]

Charles needs to get his grip and overall strength up, he had that choke locked

 

[philbr]

Is Do Bronx his nickname?

Never really considered his mr glass ability. It makes sense.

yes. "from the bronx".

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Nice picks except the main and co main.

I went back and forth on those two and Gaethje/ Alvarez. Back and forth and back and forth and...
If Reem gets smoked it will seem obvious given his chin and cardio issues, but he just beat Werdum and Hunt.... Ngannou hasn't beaten anybody even close to that.
With Aldo; I think he looked ready; mentally and physically. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that his leg kicks are viable tonight. We'll see.
And I think Alvarez is going have the tools to defeat Gaethje.

We'll see. I won't be shocked if I lose all 3.

Agreed but again I think that’s down to the ref. Even if the tap is taken out of the equation, it could’ve been stopped earlier because he ate like 5-7 elbows clean before Dan stepped in

Best Prelims this year imo

He’s need even that large of a fw and is a small lw you dumbass

Isn't a large FW but missed weight all the time at FW...... (yeah your the one whose a fucking dumbass).

I have trained with his coach (Jorge Patrino) on multiple occasions and he has told me that Charles cuts more than he does (Jorge use to fight at LW and was big/physical for the weight class and Charles still cut more than him for a weight class lower). Its basically the Barao/Aldo situation a few years back when Barao was larger but fought a weight class lower

Do I believe his coach along with the scale or do I believe some random dumbass on sherdog ?

 

[High Altitude]

Felder doesn't have much choice. You go until the ref stops the fight.

I think after almost getting choked out Felder was going to make damn sure he won, lol.

Best Prelims this year imo

There have been quite a few awesome cards this year that I’ve no doubt forgotten about but this was definitely up there

 

[Anung Un Rama]

That tie is going to cost Max the fight.

I went back and forth on Alvarez and reem too. Just they always seem to get hit.

And I picked Holloway the first time around too.

I picked Max the first time, too.

 

[El anciano]

That Yancy vs. Cowboy fight was hard to watch. I would like to see something like headgear and leg pads introduced

 

[ScrotiusSmash]

How many times have you seen a fighter signal to the ref that someone is out, or that they are tapping? It's just a dick move to hit someone that many times after you, personally, know that they gave up. While it is the job of the ref, to deliver that much damage after knowing that your opponent threw in the towel isn't something that I can justify. Seeing people praise it doesn't sit well with me. Do what you have to do, but that should have never been allowed to happen. Shitty reffing, and horrible sportsmanship IMO.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

I think Felder had no idea he tapped

He admitted he felt it, but figured Dan would step so he turned it on.
