man what a start to the 3rd... both fighters come out swinging


What a great fight and an amazing way to start the night!!!!!

great stand-up fight, both fighters landed some great shots and put on a good show.
Have to give the fight to sherk 30-27 for the better punches and the takedowns

Rogan said he gave the stand-up to tyson, i dunno, i disagree

ReleasH

should be a unanimous decision for sherk. the third was closer but sherk won the first 2 rounds

agree completely

leafs4ever

nice, good to see a couple judges give the 29-28 score, like you said releash, that 3rd round was really close

wow, only 21% of the people going for cote so far

mookie blaylock 10

sorry gray didn't start the ppv, releash, but that was one hell of a fight! they must have changed the bout order.

i would have said 29-28, or 30-27 sherk. well earned decision! both guys were throwing huge punches. way more exciting than i thought...and i already thought it was going to be a good one. great start to the night! both guys fought hard and sherk's assessment at the end was probabaly spot on.

guess gray vs. rich is after werdum vs. cigano...?

leafs4ever

OMG KOTN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, what an upper cut that werdum was coming down into... and then he was OUT!

WOW

ReleasH

best rogan quote ever: "look at his ears wiggle!"

WOW speechless. way to connect.

+1 more! that's quite an upset...maybe one more tonight...;)

gray vs. rich coming up!

leafs4ever

man, it's going to be hard for this fight to live up to the level that this night has started off at... i think they can do it 2pac and trent, weird combo but i like it

ReleasH

That's my boy with the takedown. I say round one to Gray (not that I'm biased).

leafs4ever

kind of a slow 1st round
gray was much better on the feet and it looked like clementi was really feeling him out... Then gray got a good takedown and controlled on the ground
10-9 maynard

leafs4ever

missed the 1st minute of the round but just as i came back gray landed a great slam takedown.
gray showing some good wrestling to get out of vulnerable spots and controlling the fight on the ground even though he's not doing all that much (still doing more than clementi though)
10-9 maynard

leafs4ever

another great slam by gray to start the 3rd to bring the fight to mat...

gray showing more wrestling skills to stay in control on the ground. It just seemed like every time rich went to get out gray would do something to put himself back in control. Even though he didn't do much damage, he got tons of takedowns and controlled the entire fight. you have to give the fight to gray 30-27 (not an exciting fight but still a dominate win)

ReleasH

that new ref is terrible

definitely a unanimous decision for Gray. yay BULLY!!j!!!!!!

mookie blaylock 10

the crowd is a little spoiled after the first fights. i enjoyed the grappling in the second, especially. i'm not sure what the ref was on...i thought rogan was going to blow his top! haha good fight, not quite as exciting as i thought it would be, but still a good one.

great win for gray. i should have gone with the unanimous decision!! damn!

+1. I almost went with the decision but was hoping Gray could finish clementi. I am really happy for the Bully though. Hopefully more main card matches for him!

ReleasH

Great fight so far. we've gottwn a good event and still have the main event to go.

I give both rounds 1 and 2 to alves bur koscheck is hanging in there.

leafs4ever

i missed the 1st round but the 2nd was some great back and forth action with both fighters landing their shots.
i dunno, close round... i'd probably give it to alves for the kicks and some good takedown defence

leafs4ever

wow props to kos for some great heart there. alves landed a crazy knee and then just kept rocking him. I was never really a fan of kos until now, dude can take a shot
those kicks from alves are insane, so much freakin power in them.
well both fighters took pokes to the eye so i guess it kept it fair lol

the new refs are horrible like you said releash.... get in there and break the fight up as soon as that bell goes. What the hell was that, not alves' fault at all.

edit: o ya, 30-27 alves imo
