UFC 252 PBP/Discussion

[Kamais_Ookin]

kamaka was steamed to -250 before fight started that was a sweat for them

 

[GoatArtemLobov]

Good boxing and wrestling by Kamaka
Gets hit and looks a little gassed though
Kelly: good elbows, good chin and better cardio
Nevertheless, tdd isn't that on point.
Kelly would win this in a 5 rounder.

 

[Barkus]

It'll be interesting to see which round the judges gave Kelly. I'm guessing round 2.

 

[PolarBearPaulVarelans]

Thought Kamaka won round 1 10-8 and am mystified no one else apparently scored it that way. He had Kelley badly hurt on several occasions, with the ref even leaning in to take a very close look a time or two.

This is under a hybrid version of the new unified rules, too.

what a fight to start the night.

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Kamaka was watching his work way too much. Many many many mma strikers would benefit from moving their head after a combo.

 

[Sono07]

This might be over quickly, neither man has seen a decision in years.

Tony Kelley fought a lot like Brandon Davis. Davis was in the UFC, and was Jason Knight's striking coach, iirc.

i saw it that way so i did very small draw bet live in case judges gave other 2 to kelley. regardless think kamaka was the deserved winner on the cards

Parker Porter vs. Chris Daukaus might be the worst non-WMMA fight in the UFC in many, many years.

start r3 @2.6 and FGTD @3.7

Nah. Daukaus moves well based on tape.

Had it 10-9 but absolutely it gets 10-8 consideration, Kamaka really hurt him with the one body shot. Kelley grabbed his side and backed up to the cage. I thought that might actually be the beginning of the end.

Only reason I still had it 10-9 was that Kelley also landed some good shots.

Ye aganst cans though. This might be evenly matched. Not touching it either way

 

[PolarBearPaulVarelans]

Nah. Daukaus moves well based on tape.

He is definitely the better of the two, hence my bet, but still very, very underskilled for this level.

 

[betterthanjones]

small bet on peter parker

 

[Naught2Sixty]

So tired of Rogan saying "he hurt him". Unless the dude falls to the ground he's usually not hurt.

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

was thinking of playing decision thankfully passed last second
