I think most refs would have called that after seeing the hand drop limp like that, then asking twice if he was OK and no response. |

Pretty sure Askren went out after the slam and first few punches to make matters even worse. |

Kinda hoping Usman wins this. Always found Woodly to be a mostly boring fighter |

Woodly looked pretty puffed at the end of the first round |

This is the worst Woodley has ever looked. |

He’s looked disinterested all fight but he has taken so much punishment to the body he just looks like he wants out of that cage. |

Woodley looked like he was sick or something. |

I bet Usman had 10 lbs on him too. |

Isn’t Jones just going to take him down and fuck him up? |

What the fuck was Smith's strategy in this fight? |

Well that was pretty dull |

Watching Smith not take that DQ victory was such a contrast with how Askren handled his situation. |

Smith had a choice after Jones kneed him illegally and decided to move on. They're not really comparable situations. |

Not talking about the decision, I was talking about Askren pretending he won and refusing to run the fight back compared to Smith having the opportunity to walk out of there with a DQ win that could lead to another fight with Jones and doing the right thing without thinking twice. |

Askren had a choice to act the way Dustin Poirier did after his fight with Alvarez, he went the complete opposite way. |

So not only did Smith survive all five rounds, but Jones also threw an illegal knee? Pretty hard to feel excited about Jones at this point. |

It was kind of a lackluster night all around, but my big takeaway is why in the hell would anyone want to watch assface Askren instead of Mighty Mouse. That "trade" still bothers me. |

My big takeaway is that Johnny Walker is the most exciting guy in the sport right now. |

Showing these fights all the time at my bar has made me not quite a fan, but certainly a casual follower. I respected Smith for going all five rounds, but I have a big question after that knee incident. Is there anyone in the MMA world that would have actually taken the DQ way out in a fight like that? I assume stealing a win of that magnitude would have all but blackballed Smith or anyone else from the game. |
