I never understood The ''Chris Gave Luke a gift'' analogy

[dragonsfly]

All I recall is Rockhold beating Weidmann from bell to bell

 

[Ceez]

Watch it again Weidman lands a ton of kicks to Rockholds mid section and was doing quite well I believe in the 2nd round.

It was competitive up till Teh Chris threw that idiotic spinning shit.

Not exactly and he lost all 3rds according to me and got out-landed on the feet. he pretty much lost the fight standing before any spinning shit was thrown

Yeah, but Rockhold was scoring more hand punches...to the head.

Maybe I should watch it again but mostly I do have pretty good memory but for this one time I will rewatch it

Luke wasn't looking good before diving on Weidman's back, he was wincing everytime The Chris threw a strike if it had any kind of connection.

Just watched it again recently. It was pretty competitive. Chris didnt become that bloody mess until he got mounted. I expect another competitive fight and possibly a different outcome. But even if Chris loses again, he's still my boy. Dont forget that.

Luke's kicks were a lot more devastating than Weidman's up to that point

Then you missed RD1 where Weidman outstruck & outgrappled Luke. I'm a Luke fan but I have a pet peeve against baseless opinions.

No it wasn't like that but now I'm gonna watch the fight again.
I bet I will be screaming at the ref again in the 3rd to stop it lol

Weidman was winning round 3 after Rockhold won round 2. You either have a shoddy memory or you are blind.

 

[soulsstealer]

Ya its dumb just like ppl that think conor lost cuz of lack of bjj skills.

Leg kicks to the mid section. ..

 

[muaythaibeast]

It was a very close fight until Weidman did something stupid. Weidman won round 1 easily, Rockhold round 2 and round 3 was back and forth.
Weidman has a history of bad fight iq though and it was always going to catch up with him at some point

I think it's a BS summation of the fight.

Luke definitely was doing well, and while neither looked 100%, Luke definitely looked he was further from his peak. What we did get to see was Luke's superiority on the ground, regardless of how they ended up there. Given the constant, nagging insistence on the part of Weidman fans that Luke would be manhandled on the mat, it was awesome. I'll say again what I said before the first fight - Luke's cardio, kicks, size, power and crazy scrambling will pose a huge problem for Weidman. Assuming they both come in near 100%, I don't give Weidman a big chance to take it.
