Now can we see Mark Hunt vs. Pat Barry? Please!!!
nobody seems the think edger should of won? maybe i need to rewatch it
also questionable decisions imo again i might be bias was shields win, i thought he lost 29-28, and the first fight cariaso vs mizugaki was another poor decision, who were the judges last night were they japanese or brought in from a comission in the us? or were they brought in from winnipeg!
I hate to admit it but shields outstruck the Sexy1.
It sure is ugly but Shields lands a lot of punches even against faster fighters like GSP. I don’t know if it is because he has no fear of being taken down and/or kicked in the leg or what it is. I wish he would close his fists a little tighter too. Akiyama’s mouth piece incident was hilarious! The guy can’t help but to cheat.
ImO Barry doesn’t deserve hunt. Hunt would make a mess of him, and Barry doesn’t impress me too much.
No question in my mind that Shields won all three rounds and Hendo won as well.
I had Mizugaki beating Carioso 29-28.
Jake Shields is a snore.
Cariaso vs Mizugaki was a bad decision for sure.
I had 30-27 Mizugaki.
All in all great night of fights.
