PBP UFC 319 - Du Plessis vs. Chimaev Official Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 8/16 at 10pm ET

[HHJ]

What rules are you referring too?

Khazmat definitely dominated with the relentless grappling and control through the whole fight. He never hurt or threated DDP, apart from a couple good elbows in the crucifix he just annoyed and frustrated him. Surprised he didn't attempt more subs given he was in the position to do so 95% of the fight.

Cut that orange shit out

 

[Bobby00]

Sorry the stats and facts hurt your feelings . Maybe know more about MMA before saying stupid stuff

Opponents strength matter your not hurting my feelings at all. Seems to me you got rattled for no reason. It is harder to finish fighters at the top of the rankings or is to you a finish over Merschart the same as finishing a top contender?

 

[wrb]

Yeah, he shut down the fight. He stopped the other guy from fighting. Khamzat went in there and made sure DDP couldn't fight.

Would have been nice if Khamzat did more fighting while he did it, but oh well.

Control is great and all, but without any damage or sub attempts, there's no reason to give a 10-8.

What RDR did to Rob is soooo much worse and now funny because he knows his chances of champ are slim to none. Khamzat just dominated the strongest/biggest person in the division like it was nothing. To say that was not entertaining or just "lay and pray" is really disingenuous I don't think DDP even realizes what just happened as he almost looked like he thought he had a chance on the score cards. Yikes, probably the worst performance from a champ I have seen in a while. At least Usman connected on the feet and Burns made it competitive, that was sad

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

You guys should be banned from anything MMA related

Hey. Don't blame me. Blame Goddard. Khamzat was cruising at the beginning of the round. But being stood up twice allowed DDP to land the best strikes of the fight and almost go for some crazy hail-mary finish...

I even had Khamzat 10-8 in the 1st and 3rd... But that wacky ending could have ruined a dominant fight by him.

I know now how staying up for a card is wild in whatever time zone England is. Man-U x Arsenal to cap it off. No one clocks me as US because I’m speaking Italian or my other bud is from Ireland. That how sad the US is right now I don’t want to talk with anyone about the US. This is sort of a dream to hit the start of the EPL but stil wanted to watch this card.

 

[HeLLMuTT]

Cut that orange shit out

But seriously, what rules were you talking about.

 

[Automata]

he beat a mans ass so bad the man couldn't mount offense

thats a shut out beyond reason

He didn't "beat his ass so bad", he "controlled him so bad" he couldn't mount offense. IF it had been a beating as bad as you seem to think it was, then it would have been stopped. Instead it was stood up several times for lack of action and the win was via decision not KO/TKO/Submission.

 

[DecisionSplit]

Control is great and all, but without any damage or sub attempts, there's no reason to give a 10-8.

In the future expect performances like this to be filled with 10-8 round scores. UFC is pushing the 'lay and pray' style more than ever.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

That shit was fucking ASS.

Khamzat dominated so hard they tried to change the rules to help DDP lmao

This, the ref had to help DDP, it was sad and funny.

How dare they stand that up!

Goddard should be shot for that.

 

[OrthodoxMk]

Haha , 91 people voted that DDP would win.

RDR is a very good BJJ grappler, with a good guard game. Nothing like DDP.

The fight was not entertaining. The crowd favorite got boo'd throughout for being boring.

Your post is weird.

I thought I saw the opposite...aren't they scoring more for damage and finishing opportunities, and giving less advantage to take downs that do nothing?

 

[Hog-train]

I wanted this yellow card, like people wanted this homosexual champ

Why wouldn't you want a flaming homosexual as champ? That would be hilarious and awesome and people will tune in.

 

[MMA4Life]

We got a real Irish guy and me and my brother can speak Italian. I told everyone if we are going to fucking England have your clothes fitted. I may say fuck it and check out Belfast for a day or two: US citizens are deemed whatever but we are all different I want to see Ireland and my brother would have to go. But I really want to go to Ireland and fish. Then take a train to Munich. I need sleep.

Just looked it up:

New judging criteria approved for MMA's unified rules

The Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) approved new Mixed Martial Arts judging criteria, according to combat sports regulatory lawyer Erik Magraken.

www.sportsnet.ca

"Damage, or lack thereof, has been a talking point under previous rules and fighters and fans struggled to grasp the way judges scored fights. Now mentioned 17 times in the rules, as opposed to once in the previous guidelines set in 2016, damage is essential to winning a round, and a necessity in order for a round to be scored 10-8 or 10-7."

Damage is the most important thing, as it should be, thankfully.

You are not being fair as the amount of dominance and control he did to the BIGGEST guy in the division was outstanding. To take a guy down like he did even when the guy knew he was going to try the take down is one of the hardest things to do in the sport. I am actually blown away by the performance and I am sure it was really depressing for the other guys in the division.

Fuck yes preach. usman went after it as a power blankie then Chimmy.

Healthy Chimmy doesn’t lose. He need to be restrained from overtraining and he.has a chance of cleaning out MW but that division has a lot of new age killers. It should be fun.
