I'm too tried to do a proper write up for every fight last night, but the last three I think deserve some attention.
Cm Punk
Credit where its due dude took GNP he clearly didb't know how to deal with better than I have in my fights, but that fight was embarrassing for him and embarrassing for the UFC. He clearly had no idea what he was doing and yeah I know money etc, but the UFC shouldn't be holding debut fights for people and certainly not 2 away from the main event. That was a carnival fight and it just made me feel sad really.
Browne v. Werdum
A few things with this one. What are people's thoughts on both Browne stopping the fight over his finger and Werdum punching him? I know they had the chat with the commission (I think?) guy who said you can't call for a time out in the ufc and I agree. I think Browne wanting to stop for an injury means he should have been either DQ'd or had a NC.
Werdum hitting him I'm really torn over. On one hand, as Rogan said at the time the ref never called time so it was probably legal I suppose, but they had a little moment exchange before Browne turned away and he was blatantly holding an injury and talking to the ref and Werdum took some time to decide to hit him. Like I say guess technically it was fine but that should have at least been a point deduction to me.
As for the little scuffle after, that's a DQ or a match throw out regardless. But it was more exciting than the fight so hey.
Overeem
Wins the prize for strangest gameplan. Overeem's chin has been suspect for a little while and I guess he's realised that? I don't actually have a problem with fighters turning away and running away in a fight, seems like a fair way to create space, but at least do it with your hands up and not by your waist when you're within punching range.
So I have three questions for people:
1. Do you think the UFC was right/wrong/meh who cares to hold the Punk fight?
2. What are your thoughts on all the bits with the Werdum/Browne fight?
3. Do you think Overeem, and other fighters, should have been penalised for his running tactics?
