Spoilers below...
Nam was effin ripped. I love this sport, but sometimes the judging just makes me wonder wtf I bother. The MMA world in general, not just the UFC need to do something about it as Joe Rogan said.
I mean this isn't just about a win and a loss, these men and women fight for their living. It's just completely ridiculous to think they can train for 2 months, go in and put their safety on the line, clearly dominate their opponent, then go home with a losers paycheck.
And in Nam's case it wasn't even that bs line "never leave it in the hands of the judges", it's not his fault Garcia can't be knocked out. Nam landed beautiful power punches to the head and body, and landed great combos, you can't do much more than that.
Brookins has heart, no stand up, but damn he took a beating and came back strong. Worthy winner, and the obvious flaws he has in his stand up will be easily ironed out, especially because he is already very disciplined.
The rest of the night was a bit lacklustre for me, Maia looked good, but then I can't remember the last time Grove won.
GSP knock Kos out? I hope so! GSP fights bore me to tears (except when Matt Serra belted him) so I'd love him to actually finish one for once, Koscheck has done himself no favours bad mouthing GSP, I think it'll help GSP being that angry.
However, for entertainments sake, I'm predicting Josh by KO early first round. I think GSP fans would riot whilst crying.
Bring on Sunday arvo!
