Yes @Danespina, I'm well aware of the judging philosophy that helped secure the win for DJ. It's something that plagued the sport with TDs and top control being weighed arguably too highly while strikes from the bottom, preventing passes, getting back guard, sweeps, and sub attempts were more consistently undervalued or dismissed.

I just remember being stunned DJ was given more than a round. The 2nd was the only one I thought was conceivable for him to win even with the scoring mindset skewed towards wrestling. Thankfully all the judges were knowledgeable enough to not dispute round 1 for Torres.

Round 3 is not one I could see being explained for MM with a possible bias for top control. While he did have a couple of passes and more top time, Torres got the more dominant positions and maintained them for what seemed like longer than his opponent. Moreover he also had a few submission attempts including one after the last TD by Johnson.

I do give Demetrious props for gutting out tough spots, competing with a clear size disadvantage, and enduring the leg injury that happened during one of the leg lock attempt by Miguel(iirc) but that's a fight he should have lost as far as all of the media outlets and the majority of the fans are concerned. He's since surpassed Miguel Torres as a fighter but it's still something that sticks in fans' minds whenever MM's BW run is brought up.



DJ had a leg injury, I believe sustained during one of the leg lock attempts.
Very nice well thought out response. I do believe it was a kick though that DJ injured his fibula on and not a leg lock.
 
Lmfao . Have you seriously gone your whole life thinking that, that was the correct saying?

I'm willing to bet you've provided some serious laughs to people over the years.
 
Which jack ass is going to make an account named painted heart?
 
Posting in future Archive thread.
 
if you want to see some brain, see Cyborg's surgery after the Michael Venom Page fight. (Warning, not four the game of farts.)

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
"Mother's mating name"? Lol! That actually makes sense. I like your knife... I'm keeping it.
