Lol @ any keyboard warrior complaining about D.C. post fight
Last 3 fights were a big deal for me. Went super heavy on Jones ML, thought he might finish in rds 4 or 5, ended up betting DEC and Over small-medium. Had Woodley ML super heavy, light on Maia rd 1/2 and Woodley DEC. Main bet in the Cyborg fight was the Over, went medium on that. Lamas earlier n the night was a huge deal, won every bet except Knight SUB. Ended up losing on Lawler since most of my money on him was ITD. Carneiro fucked up. Barao is washed up. Lost all my bets on Manuwa fight except the Under. Lost all bets on Dober fight. Got robbed on Shelton. Slight profit on Curran fght as the Over was my main play. Overall, great night but feel I should have done better.
Travis Browne made me take out the Robalo for a couple weeks to clear my mind and I came back stronger. Will be gone for a while again, good luck on your future bets and I hope DC is ok cause that was sad af.
For the record, I don't think this an "either or" situation with DC.
I think he took the loss INCREDIBLY hard. I think he was more invested emotionally in that fight than almost anyone I can ever remember in my almost 20 years of following MMA. I think he looked like the best version of him we've seen. He was doing well, landing but fighting a much more calm fight. I haven't seen the scorecards but I'm guessing judging was close after 2 rds. I think he knew he had more in the tank this time to go 5 rounds at his pace. The fight was playing out as he envisioned it to a degree. And then...boom. Everything he poured his heart and soul into when it comes to fighting came crashing down around him. Not only losing again, but this time seeing his previously invincible chin cracked. Having to be told what happened. THE legacy fight of his career and in an instant it's over. For a guy wired like DC, it was too much to handle. AND...
@MMA Goodfella is also correct. You start adding in that his brain had just been short circuited and it most likely is a big force multiplier for everything I just said. They are cutting open the brains of former football players and finding all this CTS stuff in most of them. Obviously the science is in its early stages in terms of what conclusions can be drawn, but you cannot tell me that having your brain suffer that kind of trauma (and make no mistake, that was a BRUTAL knockout where DC took probably 2-3 more shots flush to the side of his head than were needed) and then 4 minutes later it has no effect on you.
So the short version is that yes, DC is super emotional and handled the loss way more poorly than almost anyone else would have. But no way do I believe we'd have seen that type of reaction had he lost another clear cut decision. The brutal KO absolutely played a role in him having that reaction.

You have obviously never been badly concussed before my dude.
It's funny because guys hating on him and questioning his character like that show only that their own character is far worse than what they think his is. Never mind that he just got KTFO'd and didn't know what was going on.
Also that they never had anything worth fighting for, probably have no drive or passion...
U assume a lot there.
Can you criticize the actions of Donald Trump? Guess not. You are not president. U probably never will be. He obviously is a much better person than u and had much more drive.
Jesus, u guys act like criticizing DC post fight behavior is calling him a bad person. Give it up!
Lol. I boxed from the age of 11 to 24.
Why do guys say things in here like this?
DC even clarified what happened. I guess he's wrong also
This was a round robin that I put in as 2s and 3s (20 parlays for a total risk of 1u) and it won me 66u. If I wasn't such a pussy and I had done it as a single parlay and 4s as well, it would have cost me an extra 0.3u. If my calculations are right it would have paid approximately another 250u.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about a great hit. I'm just thinking about what could have been and taking it as lesson for myself and others that when it's a tiny risk for a huge reward, fucking go for it (within reason obviously).
hehehehe don't think that way, the win was incredible, dude
Oh @mkess101 I told you that the Jones too far in the OSP five was an anomaly. Like I said sky is the limit for the kid. You think how good DC is, and for him to take 465 days with a single fight and then come back and do what he did. That is some out of this galaxy talent,
Sure. However fighters get KO'd or TKO'd all the time and dont act like DC here.
Its just ironic that the whole narrative going into this was how DC is a model citizen and father etc.meanwhile JJ is a trash human. However when going gets tough DC has a hissy fit and acts like a child.
Sure DC is the pro athlete not me. Like 98% of the UFC take losses and are still respectful. Its called sportsman and taking a loss like a man.
Not a Conor nuthugger but when he lost in brutal fashion to Diaz he hopped on the mic and took it like a man.
Silly to make excuses for someone acting like a brat, KO or not.
DC disagrees with u. End of storyTo trigger you.
And point out that you can do weird stuff if you're badly concussed without a doubt.
We've got people in here calling him a 'total bitch' and not a 'real man', so....
I guess I hope for their sake they're just mad because they lost money on him, but then that's also ironic because they'd be acting the same way in a loss
Nah dude i was on JJ.We've got people in here calling him a 'total bitch' and not a 'real man', so....
