I thought it was a weird card tbh and in some cases I was right.
I did like the Chuck fight too. This was going for it old school style.
I totally agree on Barry. It looked as if he was scared to destroy his hero and when he knocked him down he let him get up. Knocked him down again and once more he stepped away in stead of going for the kill. Then they started hugging during the fight (Jake Shields would have loved it I am sure
). I did not mind but it was odd and after that Barry hardly did anything.Thiago was also not as good as I had hoped for today. Kampmann did do well and somehow did impress me but I don't care much for these kinds of ground fights.
I also hoped that I would see the first dutch win in UFC since I started watching. Maybe I should stop picking them and then they will win. He was so close in the 2nd round but somehow let it go. Then he made a huge mistake by going for a take down at the start of round 3 in stead of standing up. But honestly these guys should not be on a main card unless they start getting some cardio.
I really enjoyed the Condit fight and also Pyle fight was great. Too bad the crowd booed at Condit but I must say that Macdonald just said it as it was and that is something I respect a lot. Not many will admit that they were getting their ass kicked. The other prelims I have not seen yet.
