What is Uriah Hall's sticking point?

 

[CrippleWerk]

You gotta love his honesty.

 

[Bob Sapp]

Strickland's MMA career got in the way of his true calling. He could've been the trailer meth cooking GOAT

Sean Pinkman

 

[tangata motu'a]

If you know him personally, I'll have to take your word for it. I don't know the man beyond how he presents himself on tv.

What, did he tell you to get your shine box or something?

yea, he is pretty phony in the way he presents himself. I am around a lot of combat sports athletes and most are pretty cool. He is a complete 180 from what he presents on tv with his humble warrior thing. he is a cocky douche who is unfriendly to anyone who isn't "on his level." i never judge anyone based on one meeting since it could be a bad day. but i have been around him 5 or 6 times and he was an ass every single time

Those scores though...

One judge had a 10-8, another judge actually gave Hall a round.

Round 2 could've gone either way, 3 was a possible 10-8 for Sean.

Because of the UFC Conor is doing cocaine and will end up in prison

Sean is good at deflecting punches with hands and arms and has a good way of rolling with punches.

Really outstanding sneaking in punches at angles too. In some ways, I think he’s the best boxer in mma. Most guys box like they’re boxing in the 16oz balloons they train in, but Strickland is constantly deflecting with his arms and looping punches in like a properly trained bareknuckle boxer.

I love mma and the ufc, but this card was meh.

Round 2 could've gone either way, 3 was a possible 10-8 for Sean.

The 10-8 didn't surprise me. Sean coming out with any scores under 50 did.

It's whatever....it's not like it was egregious or anything.

 

[Axe720]

Hey, I'm a red belt now! Didn't know that was a thing lol

 

[JSN]

I think/hope they'll get this one right

One did

 

[Ares Black]

Over to the Bellator PBP, Sherbros!

Lets bully those shills!

Agreed. Even if Sean did drop the second round, I thought he was just pacing himself as a safety precaution for his first main event. It was more Sean holding back than Uriah turning the tide of the fight.

 

[Paynebringer]

Yo

He got his ass beat and kept coming. Strickland was the better fighter

All true! Uriah pisses me off with his in fight mental space he thinks too much instead of just fighting by nature, I'm done with him too inconsistent his whole career.

 

[Thrawn33]

Main event could've been better, bit not a sinful performance.

JUST BLEED God is satisfied, will spare us his wrath and return to Valhalla to feed.

Interesting analysis. I always thought of him as just a physically tough 1-2 type who fights long, but you may be right.

That kick from TUF. Great fighter, but it just seems like mid/lower top 10 is his ceiling.

I'm liking this by proxy since I ran out an hour ago.
