I'm not hating on Corey, at all. With Corey, you see athletic ability and willingness to fight, but there's nothing else yet. I think someone like Bas could really mold him into a complete fighter, or at the very least, give him some Muay Thai lessons. Corey with knee's could be very, very dangerous. There's potential.

That's what I was thinking. With his wrestling ability and height I was surprised Jens didn't have him working the clinch more, throwing knees and elbows. Really he kind of used the Tim Sylvia approach. Although Corey was willing to engage a bit more than Timmy.

boring fight i feel cory did win the third because he pushed the action. if it was not for that it would have looked like delahyoa vs mayweather... someone needs to push the action other wise mma will become very boring.
No way he won the 3rd round...atleast not from the fight I saw. The leg kicks alone won me over...
I was screaming at my tv for a tap at the end of the second...thats how saw the fight ending before hand. An 8" reach advantage is huge...I would have thought Emerson would have shot for more take downs...the reach wouldn't have been as big of an issue there, and it probably would have worked in Emerson's favor.
i think emerson won the 2nd and 3rd rounds for sure,but corey brings alot more hype to the scene his loud and very emotional and emerson is kinda laid back.who knows maybe thats what the ufc is looking for .there are a few fights i questioned since season 1, why did this guy win when it was pretty clear that he got his ass beat?
to me once again proving that there is a dire need for change when it comes to the judges most of which are boxing judges who dont kno jack about mma :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
Cant believe so many people got emerson's back so much. He fought like shit. He was as aggressive as a turtle and he did as much damage as a category one cloud cover. Corey pushed the pace more hit more head shots that's why he won. Every single ****ing time Emerson tried to have a flurry Corey would grab him by the head and uppercut him in the face. Did you guys not catch that? Seriously Emerson won like 3 or 4 exchanges the whole fight if not less. And the leg shots didnt do anything cuz Corey continued to win after them.
Neither fighter's good at all but Corey won the fight

Emerson clearly won the fight, it was not a great fight by any means but Emerson did more damage and defended the takedowns very well and applied the only submission attempt in the whole fight.
Corey didn't win but Emerson didn't win it either.
If I had to choose I would choose Emerson based on the second round and both other rounds a virtual snorefest.
When the third round started, Emerson was being handed the win on a silver platter and he didn't go take it.
MMA is as much about technique as it is about killer instinct. Emerson to me is a fighter built on technique without the killer instinct. Corey has a killer instinct but absolutely zero technique.
theres no room for people that dont have that fight instinct
