Not the fight I was expecting here, but Lawlor is fighting a smart fight.

This is when Lawler usually runs out of gas.

Big win for Lawlor. Didn’t gas, clearly was executing a game plan. It wasn’t the most crowd-pleasing, but he got the job done.

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 9:27 PM EDT reply actions

It was good to see someone finally take Cote down. Not sure why everyone stands with him since he’s never had a ground game.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions

Man I can’t believe the UFC didn’t want to save this little gem of a fight for the pay-per-view. We are lucky as hell to get to watch it for free on Spike!

Jensen has always been one of my favorite fighters to watch get submitted by BJJ black-belts.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 9:40 PM EDT reply actions

Haha, seriously.

LOL. Is that a GSP chant or a McGee chant?

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Actually thought it was boos.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions

Now THAT was a GSP chant.

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions

Did you guys catch the Huerta-Alvarez fight?

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 9:49 PM EDT reply actions

I still have to watch it on the DVR.

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions

I assume you know the results. It was slightly sad to watch.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions

Oh yeah, of course. Neil tells me it was great.

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions

How the hell did he get the arm triangle while still in mount? Jense just gave up.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 9:51 PM EDT reply actions

Oh shit – this must be a fast KO.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 9:52 PM EDT reply actions

Or submission.

Haha. Good sub!

Good to see someone else pick Diego as well.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions

i think Jackson et al make the difference, not by much though… they did Fitch him already so thats my hunch

I wonder when the last time someone made their UFC debut on the main card (i.e. Shields).

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 10:03 PM EDT reply actions

Lesnar?

I only mention it because it was so weird to see someone without fight highlights in the opening video.

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 10:07 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah weird alryt

Brendan about to get chocked out. All that talk about how he and his camp are the “new types of fighters” who are more well-rounded is going to seem silly once he’s on his back.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:12 PM EDT reply actions

He sure has a big ego considering Nelson wrecked him.

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

I just love how all the fights on this card you can easily see going either way. Great matchmaking.

Gonzaga HKO ftw lol

Its weird how Schaub has almost no forehead. It just seems to go from eyebrows to hairline.

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

by villin on Oct 23, 2010 10:19 PM EDT reply actions

Gonzaga needs to wake up. What was that, one takedown attempt in the first round?

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:21 PM EDT reply actions

Yes.

And it was a half-hearted one.

by Matt Bishop on Oct 23, 2010 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions

Why would Gonzaga not have stayed down and let Brendan come into his guard? Stupid.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:22 PM EDT reply actions

Because he sucks off his back. Gonzaga’s bjj is entirely reliant on him being on top.

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

by villin on Oct 23, 2010 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Oh really. Didn’t realize that.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Could have at least swept him.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions

I doubt if he could, his guard is terrible.

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

by villin on Oct 23, 2010 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions

I can practically see Brendan having an adrenaline dump.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:24 PM EDT reply actions

That last little exchange made Gonzaga look even dumber.

by Lucas2 on Oct 23, 2010 10:33 PM EDT reply actions

Too bad Gabe didn’t get that position with more time remaining.

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

Well, that was typical Gonzaga right there. Yikes.

Why does Hamill come out to music?

If Tito gets beat by someone with a soft head and no equilibrium it’s time to retire.

10-9 Tito
