that wasn't a td?

[grimballer]

Damage IS a criteria. Colby looked like hell. You couldn't tell Usman was even in a fight. So tell me, who was the more effective striker?

Stats may have been even but idk what fight yall were watching. There are not 3 rounds you can give to Colby

fight is not judged as a whole...

 

[grimballer]

his shtick plays no part.
He got mauled in the first two rounds. Second was actually a 10-8.
He started finding himself in the third, but he still lost it.
A dumb "takedown" with no control whatsoever would not change that round.

close round with a td does

 

[SherdogFan23]

Lets don't confuse the argument of who won the fight with whether this was a take-down. It was a take-down. And Usman clearly grabbed the fence during the battle. Covington clearly proved he is number one contender with the fight. Usman did enough to win the fight.

Tim Burke is a sherdogger for sure.

in close round a td makes a difference...

The judges don't have access to the stats. They just see what they see so even if the official stats said it was a TD it wouldn't matter at all

was not that close, and that TD meant nothing to the fight.
You are just too desperate (and ignoring the 10-8)

 

[Huligani]

Funny how the stats guys in the truck think they know more about wrestling than Daniel Cormier.

 

[MarleyLynx]

They use BJJ rules on takedowns. You have to secure the position and hold it for 3 seconds

you talking about desperate but constantly keep bringing up 2nd round (10-8) like it has any impact and carry over on how 3rd round should be scored...

2nd round (any round or fight as a whole) has no relevance on how 3rd round should be scored (assuming you know how scoring works)

And yet it shows that even if your desperate hope that "he won" that round on a TD that he couldn't secure, complete or gain any advantage of, that fight would have been at max, a tie. Meaning Usman still retains the title.

But you obviously forget how much more damage Usman put on Colby on that third round.
Close does not mean tied.
Usman won.
Stop crying or dreaming.

Save some dignity (or your excuses) for when he loses to Masvidal!

 

[grimballer]

The judges don't have access to the stats. They just see what they see so even if the official stats said it was a TD it wouldn't matter at all

but they see a guy take another guys back and drag him to the floor twice (making him downed opponent) and the other guy needs the fence to get back up.

that in itself doesn't look like much, but when you consider the rest of the round is close its a difference maker.

you constantly keep deflecting and talking about other stuff that nobody brought up... desperate much?

again let's stick to the 3rd round as most ppl agree usman won 1st 2 and colby won last 2.

in 3rd striking was even, but colby was able to take his back, drag him the the floor twice (grounded opponent) and usman had to use the fence to get back up.

that should be nuff to tip that round (again remember rest of the fight is irrelevant here) in colbys favor

 

[KwoBabY]

I personally wouldn't call it a takedown, but Usman clearly grabbed the fence to prevent it.

 

[grimballer]

They use BJJ rules on takedowns. You have to secure the position and hold it for 3 seconds

that would be weird considering that hes considered grounded fighter as soon as hes brought down to his knees...

And you keep talking like he had ANY control on that TD. he did not. He couldn't keep Usman on the ground and couldn't control his back.
But let me then help you, kid.
You want facts, no? so here are the stats for that round.
Usman threw more significant strikes, landed more significant strikes (and we both know Usman strikes did more damage to Colby than Colby's strikes to Usman), but beyond that, he also had more time in control than Colby did.
Facts.

Are you satisfied now? Or will you keep trying to desperately claim that that "takedown" should give the round to Colby?

 

[Juice]

The butthurt Colby fans are in full force today LMAO.

Colby and his delusional fans are coming with the lies and excuses as expected LMAO.

 

[NDiaz209]

even dc agreed that should've been scored as a td

colby 3,4,5

It definitely was a takedown if DC says it was. I trust Wrestling Olympian Daniel Cormier more than these idiotic judges.

 

[MarleyLynx]

According to the rules you have to secure a position. I.E guard, side control, half guard, etc.

 

[2004 account]

The ufcs decision to not consider it a takedown just makes me suspicious they bend their own criteria to fit their own profitable narrative whenever then can get away with it.

 

[JustBleed69]

I scored it a draw. Not really pulling for either guy, just enjoying the battle.

Definitely was a takedown though.
Duck under to the back, followed by a mat return, went down to hands and knees.
By definition a takedown.
