Post Fight - UFC 209

so the UFC 2009 recap pretty decent night of fights I enjoyed them but obviously the main event left a bad taste in my mouth probably yours too and we'll get to that in a little bit for pics I was pretty much decimated from top to bottom but let's begin first fight was over a manhunt the room stayed patient kept his distance and was able to evade hunt when he closed in worked out excellent and when they tied up over a ovary minded a huge need that knocked on doubt so what can I say it's heavy way no real surprises there I did pick hunt good performance from Al Star and I can't help but feel for hun given the situation he's in but that is the nature of the flight game it is ruthless next flight was Amanda Cooper and Cynthia Calvillo and if you remember that by was not originally on the pay-per-view but it was bumped up after the hippie pipe fell out and this fight and Luke Sanders were the ones i was most confident in picking I thought Cynthia would easily out grapple Cooper and when a decision but she did submit her instead I put Cynthia on my draft kings because I was that confident she would score me those points and she did and Luke's and Ruth was another one that I thought would score me a lot of points to and he did but he ended up losing but he performed very well too but the fight was going exactly how I thought it would he just got caught in the submission unfortunately luckily Sandhya came through and I'm looking forward to her next fight then we had Rashad Evans and daniel kelly unfortunately Rashad came out without much direction it seemed some things are working yeah good shot selection but overall just failed to pull the trigger I was afraid that would happen but Kelly looked great you could really see you studied Rashad style for that fight and took advantage of the open stance I think Rashad could have made it a closer fight but whether he's a shot fighter the way cut the time off all three of the things he just hasn't really looked himself he did go all 15 minutes he didn't get knocked out so I wouldn't mind seeing him back in there I'd like for Rashad to get a good team around him again and fight one more time against someone mid-tier in the middleweight division but if you retired I don't think any of us would bat an eye rashad a spot so many killers over the course of his career he doesn't really have anything to prove anymore so congrats to Dan Kelly I did pick rashad evans in that fight david taylor vs lenovo nada and david Tamar won by decision a fight i thought i read very well in my prefect study all my points were proven and we saw how underrated tamer was I did pick vanatta because I thought he would initiate more takedowns and do well in the scrambles I also thought that you would do well with the angles and land more of his shots on the feet what she did very well but Taymor like i said in my pre-flight he's always game and he's always prepared for anything but i think banana ended up basically headhunting against tamer hopefully i was able to convince some of you to put some money on Tamra given the odds because he was obviously a big honor dog and wasn't really warranted and we saw that mess I it was a great performance from tame work and it's back to the drawing board for banana but it was a tough styles matchup that was a close fight and hopefully you guys watched my pre-flight study of that bite and we're able to walk away with some cash in your pocket and of course the main event what can I say about this I understand the judges scoring I know some of you were screaming robbery and I don't quite understand that so much it was I can understand that you scored it for Thompson but to say it's a robbery I don't know without going into depth just because Thompson stood in the center of the Octagon and Woodley had its back to the fence doesn't mean Wonder Boy is controlling the Octagon there's a lot of factors at play but that's neither here nor there I kind of stopped caring about scoring the fight after the second round it was a battle of faints and reactions and that was really it what we had the bigger moments once again but what does it matter would we said he's the greatest Walter way of all time and he was going to finish Thompson but instead we got a reaction contest so I understand that portion of it I get what they were doing but there's also two ways to look at everything and many of us just thought the fight sucked plain and simple but congrats to woodley the UFC won't likely book this fight again which I'm probably most excited about I'm ready to see him fight someone else and I kind of hope it's or hey Mazz at all but we'll see that is it for my post-fight recap decent night of fights but the main event kind of sucked the life out of it nonetheless next card thanks for watching followed me on twitter at rapid MMA
