MagiK you picked Hieron. I would have constulted with ya to pick Woodley. I remember him back when he fought GSP. He simply has bad defense and a brittle chin. Don't worry the night is still young.
LoL is Jay Hieron the best fighter to have fought in the UFC but never win? I feel kind of bad for him. Great performance from Woodley!
Glad that Green got the win against Volkmann. Terrible stand up from Winslow, but fortunately that didn't cost Green the win. Volkmann seemed content to just ride the fight out on Green's back and work for a failing rear naked choke. I'm happy that Green showed him how to have a proper offense on the ground.
It's good to see Tibau being more aggressive in this fight. To me, it seemed like he was the superior fighter against Khabib, and he only lost due to his lack of aggression. I think he might know that too. Hopefully his conditioning holds up though.
No, obviously I don't believe Tibau is a legitimate coward. I'm not some schmuck like Roflcopter who calls out fighters for ducking, etc. But Tibau has relied on size as opposed to actual skill for years now. I suspect he'd not even be an average WW, which is why he cuts to LW in the hopes that he might be able to outmuscle his opponents. It's the same thing Anthony Johnson did, and people crucified him. Yet Tibau always manages to get a pass. It's time for him to move up to WW.
