I'm heartbroken by the loss, but I have a little bit of solace in knowing that he went out on his shield and actually came to fight. It really sucks though, because I actually thought he was going to finish Weidman after he rocked him.

I respect Vitor a lot Like you said, he went out on his shield. He didn't give up, dude was eating heavy GnP and still punching back.

I felt the same way when Vitor was landing that flurry. I was thinking ' vitor is going to do it. he's actually going to finish weidman'.

Anthony Johnson's heart is a real issue he's gonna need that at this level of competition

He was just physically exhausted breh. It was obvious that Cormier was going to finish him in the 3rd after he got dominated in the 2nd round.

His corner told him after rd 2 to stop throwing the high kicks because DC timed them and got the TD, what did he do right at the start of the 3rd? High kick. He was looking for the exit, exhaustion is a bytch. He's still a nightmare opponent for anyone(for at least 1 rd)

And I know how you feel breh . I felt the same way after Cain/JDS II & III and Machida/Rockhold & Machida/Jones .

 

[The G.O.D II]

Caught him clean but he wasn't hurt. He definitely didn't wanna feel more of those though, hence the takedowns.

Yea that wrestling came through in the end. Gus didn't have that and basically was in no mans land

 

[LinusCaldwell]

You better hope he doesn't get taken down

You cursed me b

Rumble came with a horrible game plan tonight. IDK if Cormier talking got to him, but he was very reckless and aggressive tonight. Way too much lead striking(which hes never been good at) which cause him to be off balance and out of position to stop the clinch/grapple. Didn't see any counter set ups. He fought like the old Rumble. Hopefully he learns and comes back

 

[The Infamous]

Great main card. I missed the Joey B vs Moraga fight, but all the main card fights I saw were very entertaining. The prelims were though

 

[Master Teacher]

Cain
Cormier
and rockhold gonna take the belt of chris weakman in stunning fashion

Aka looking like the N.W.O.

Rumble used pretty much the same gameplan against Gus.

I'm not sure how Rumble beats DC other than the way he tried tonight(i.e. get the quick TKO), Rumble's got pretty good TDD, but he's not gonna win a grappling match with DC and just being made to carry DC's weight was gonna take a toll on his pretty shytty gas tank
