TS is a big fan of brain damage, probably a big slap fan.

Like, fucking rewatch it lol.

That was not intelligent defense by Bobby. That was tap-out via posture.

No shit, he couldn't tap he was barely hanging on, ref just let him smash his head until he was out but thought was obvious he wasn't getting out of that slot, ref def could've saved him from ktfo

 

[yougetKTFO]

That wasn't as bad as bisping and company made it seem. He was I would say 1, 2 shots late tops, which is like 2 seconds. You'd be all over him if he dropped green, flattened him on his back, landed three or four blocked punches and called it too. Refs can't win.

 

[TheMadHatter]

No arguments about the fight being over when the ref lets it go this long.

 

[West_Hammer]

Early stoppage imo. Turner should go find Green and hit him some more.

No, it wasn't.

He was flattened out and couldn't regain his hips because Turner was doing all the right things with his top pressure and position.

If Green wanted out he wouldn't have been blocking shots.

What would have been intelligent defense to you? Just get up? haha.

 

[Joshuaace]

What would have been intelligent defense to you?

Facing his opponent instead of going belly down with his gloves as earmuffs.

 

[xhaydenx]

Facing his opponent instead of going belly down with his gloves as earmuffs.

So, just ignore being flattened out from his opponent's hip pressure and correct position, and just turn around, all while getting punched?

Well, If you've never trained any grappling or MMA ground striking defense before I can see how that might seem really easy to you haha.

 

[markg171]

Agree.

Bring the "knock out" part back into knock outs.

 

[bartleby929]

nah bobby green got hammered into the ground head first - that was brutal

 

[Axe720]

Breaking out the backup account for this thread, huh? lol

 

[ScarfaceJr]

Saving fighters from becoming Gary Goodridge is now "corporatization".

damn having empathy for your fellow humans who happen to entertain us by putting their health/bodies on the line is "corporatization" now?
I'll just leave it at that dont even need to say more.

Bobby was flattened on his side. He could have faced(intelligent defense) or he could have turned belly down to a defenseless position. Which is submission by posture.

So he should have just turned right into the punches after he'd immediately been dropped and gotten KOd right away instead of rolling over to his back where he tried to block the sides of his head while making the front of his head an unreachable target?

lol.

 

[theleerygoose]

It actually wasn’t that bad, he was moving and trying to cover his head until the last 2 punches. People forget but Refs used to let shit like that go 5-10 years ago. It’s really only the last 5 years fighters aren’t given a chance to recover.

Would i have stopped it sooner? Yeah, but that wasn’t Mir Carwin.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

It's the stoppage I've been asking for the whole time. I hate those lame TKOs where a fighter gets a little rocked and the ref stops in. Nope - a fight should only be stopped once a fighter is out cold or at the very least sprawled out on the ground with no movement for some time. We clearly got both, so excellent work, ref!

Can actually agree with you.

For example, I wanted Alex to beat Jiri, but I thought the fight was stopped short.
(98% Alex would have won, but not 100%)

In this fight, we all know Bobby is a proven quitter, but he "was still moving."
Ref continued to watch the brutality, with "bobby moving," until Bobby "went limp."

There can be ZERO argument that Bobby was done.

In the Pereira fight, there may be 5-10% who think it should have gone on ...

 

[luckyshot]

Yeah, I don't really see the outrage. There were a lot of punches landing, but Green was trying to cover up. As soon as he wasn't covering up any more the ref stopped it. It doesn't seem as egregious as people are making it out to be.

 

[jk7707]

Yes, a stoppage isn't "good" until it takes at least 5 years off your life.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

I almost felt bad but for Bobby Green, but then I remembered that this is for entertainment purposes only so I cheered more!

The "Just Bleed god" was summoned several times this evening.

How is it a Fight Night Card ends up being better than PPV's ?
