Anyone else glad Marcin Held edged that fight out?

On a 3 fight losing streak, they most probably would have booted him out of the UFC If he failed for the 4th time.

He's solid and I have been following him from Bellator. He was very misfortunate in all of his UFC fights, one of his fights was arguably a win (even Lauzon, his opponent in that one, agreed - much respect to him). Hoping to see a good run from him now or at least not some crazy losing streaks that don't match his talent and skills.
 
Yeah, he's had a rough go in the UFC. Glad to see him finally get that W.
 
I'm a big held fan and have been watching him for years but he didn't win that fight.

I thought he maybe should have gotten the nod over Lauzon though.

As a LegLock fan, yes.
 
he got robbed vs Lauzon. I like him but I don't see him having a whole lot of success

Yeah, they could have awarded points to the other guy for his success in the stand-up, but that was a dire situation and Held needed that win badly.
 
I'm not glad,he fought like an idiot =/ and arguably lost the first 2 rounds and imo did.I'm half glad because I like him but his performance compared to his potential/abilities was shit and hindered by his bad fight IQ yesterday.What a let down he was.
 
He hasn't evolved at all since he was in Bellator. He should have stayed there. Great ground skills, lousy standup and sh*t fight IQ, as stated by @Kumason.
 
Maybe it's because I've blown my ACL, but I find knee-bars completely disgusting, even nauseating. They take a year to recover from; & so, should only be done in the most desperate of circumstances. I feel leg-lock specialists are cowardly; especially those that go for them every fight, all fight. &, Marcin Held and Rousimar Palhares are the 2 most blatant I can think of.
 
He barely passed a newcomer and gassed terribly in the middle of the fight- this doesn't look like promising future
 
He's his father's son

And he will be back in Bellator soon
 
Glad he won but can't believe how gassed he was. He could hardly stand the last round
