Basically comes down to if you value a knockdown/rocking opponent over 4 minutes of control/beating up.

 

[BroRogan]

Such a strange fight... but funny af

 

[fortheo]

3 knockdowns surely beat lay and pray control

You act like there was no ground and pound in those 7+ minutes lol. Bergers is getting worked

 

[Krixes]

Smelesburger can't wrassle...

 

[OldBoy91]

Sigh. Another full round of full guard with both guys doing nothing.

First minute of every round is wild, then the next four are just meh.

You have to go with the 4 minute over the 1 minute imo.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Semelsburger isn't UFC caliber, the grappling and fighting IQ just isn't there.

 

[AmonTobin]

Semi needs to fight back to his feet. Do or die

 

[Ares Black]

Wells is a beast

 

[Deleted member 513083]

Someone posted that he’s supposedly dropping down for his next fight, he’d probably be better served at LHW

He might but I don't see size as the problem, he did well in the first round but to be fair Usman did not do much with his cage control at all in that round. He looked helpless on his back too, he is still young and I still have hope but I expected a bit more and I think he was able to finish usman as he rocked him a lot when he connected.

 

[TGArthur]

How you boys doin tonight? Good fights so far?

 

[JoeRowe]

No cuts, bruises, or swelling from any of that "work", tho

 

[Cobra Kai]

Semelsberger’s ground game is so bad…and Wells leaves himself so open when he wings his hooks. Crazy that no one has been finished by now.

I might be inclined to agree but plenty wouldn’t.

Not well rounded at all.

Well Sherdog thinks you get an automatic 10-8 for any knockdown no matter how significant or otherwise, judging from the Allen/Holloway fight.

So Smellburger 30-22

 

[Benoitthegr8]

LHWs are even better than HWs...

There both boneyard divisions

 

[SamuraiBro]

Wells is chinny and semelsberger can’t stuff a takedown

 

[Krixes]

Wells has this in the bag imo..

 

[Linelo]

Semelsberger got up then defended a few TDs then drops down for a kimura
