PBP DWCS 2021 Week 1, Aug. 31, 8 PM ET/5 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[Pakman]

fighters use open hands & fingers to frame off with their arm and make range, particularly in boxing. i’d like to see them implement a glove where the hand is fully covered

Pride glove was curved to prevent this

The UFC has owned a superior MMA product and everything related to it for the past 14 years and have never once done ANYTHING to bring over any of the good from Pride.

Not the judging (it wasn't perfect either but much more suited for MMA), not the gloves.

and I don't want to hear about freakshow fights, the UFC has employed CM punk.

 

[Ares Black]

That looked pretty bad.

Spoiler

Blatant eye poke. Accidental my ass.

 

[Fesaine]

Sign both of them. Especially Brito because he's a fucking beast.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Ummm how is 29-28 possible

The judges scored the first 2 rounds in favor of Brito and scored the third round (correctly) a 10-10 since only one significant strike was thrown.

Round 1: Brito 10 Lopes 9

Round 2 Brito 10 Lopes 9

Round 3 Brito 10 (-1) Lopes 10

Final Score: Brito 29. Lopes 28

Doing that without limiting grappling would be near impossible or it would have been done already.

you could still spread your fingers inside the glove though. it really wouldn’t hinder it much more than their bulky gloves and tape already do.

^^^^^^^^^This

He literally just exposed a huge flaw in the game. Jon Jones will be salivating when he sees this. All you have to do is be up 2 rounds, then viciously eye poke your opponent for a quick guaranteed, 3rd round TKO victory.

That's equally as ridiculous as giving Lopes round 1 or 2.

I’ll disagree . Even one of sherdog
Pbp gave lopes round one. They traded heavy shots on the feet and the armbar was deep .

Winner by TKO ( Eye Poke )

Like wtf. He was warned about extending his fingers, pokes him in the eye, and wins the fight lol.

How is that not a NC

Yeah that is so shitty. Win the first two and then poke him in the eye get the fight stopped and win

 

[Langinbang187]

I don't believe in accidental eyepokes.

You are seemingly always involved in debates revolving around eyepokes.

was the right decision . again though the real issue here is the gloves . we'll always get this till they change the gloves....

I hate them.

We brought this tactic up in the Aljo/Yan thread.

It's if it's called "accidental or not" that is the coin flip.

Bud deep enough into a scrap...

How is that not a NC

bc he won the whole rest of the fight fair and square? lol

 

[Mesos]

Mick Maynard has a weird accent

 

[MMA4Life]

Hespect to Moreno.

 

[Zach The Maniac]

Have you tried to grapple with full finger gloves versus open finger gloves?

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

This is the first time I've heard Mick Maynard talk lol

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Mick Maynard has a weird accent

Yea… anyone know where he’s from??!

 

[svmr_db]

Forrest Griffin making the connection between Brandon Moreno and Zip Recruiter lmao
