PBP UFC Fight Night 86: Rothwell vs. Dos Santos Main Card PBP (Discussion) 2pm ET

[Dart Feld]

It was an impressive performance by JDS. His footwork looked much improved from the Miocic and Reem fights. Classic JDS bodywork throughout the fight to slow his opponent, freeze them, and set up overhand opportunities.

Rothwell just didn't have the tools to compete. Alot of toughness as usual and he was game. Many other HWs would have been finished by the same shots.

As a JDS fan, I would've liked to see Rothwell dance with the belt around his waist for the lols

Still don't know why Junior was so gun shy against Overeem.

 

[KeepItRealist]

Great fight IQ and fight plan from JDS. Horrible fight IQ and horrible game plan from Rothwell. 50-45 JDS.

Rothwell's trainer told him literally after every round to stop boxing and close for the TD. He didn't attempt one in the whole fight. Pitiful performance from Rothwell.

 

[Superior]

JDS = Pure class

 

[Ruv]

It was great to see Manny win last night and now see JDS win today.

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

I gotta admit, I thought JDS might have been done due to all the wear and tear. Glad he proved me wrong. He looked very good and he's right back in the mix.

 

[MuNoKen]

Good strategy from JDS. He didn't get overly excited and just took advantage of the openings that Rothwell gave him, which were A LOT. Solid fight and nice win for JDS.

 

[Gladiatorz]

JDS with a borefest but his nuthuggers think he's Mohammed Ali now.

How much you lost?

 

[Final Say]

But hey, Rothwell deserved a title shot more than Stipe, right @Diggem ?


Lol completely outclassed

 

[Ziggyjuarez]

My boy is back.

 

[Sgt Smith]

50-45, JDS. Great performance against a tough opponent.

 

[TrainInVain]

Wow smart fight by Junior congrats to him. Those body shots paid off, surprised Rothwells leg kicks didn't seem to phase Juniors movement at all.

 

[jetstation]

Hell ye Dos Santos stomped that ass do ya stupid little dance now Rothwell

 

[MachidaNo1Fan]

said it from the start Cinderella story would be over for Rothwell in this fight, truth is the guy has been getting nothing but favorable matches as of late from the time he fought a durable striker that won't go in for a takedown i knew he would get rolled

Every matchup besides the top 3 are favorable matchups. The HW division is trash.

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

JDS = Pure class

For sure, one of the most genuinely kind people in the UFC.

 

[Silverburst00]

Congrats Cigano!

 

[Mask Of Winters]

so much class from JDS, rothwell accidentally hit him after the bell and he just hug and kiss him lol

That's the only way Rothwell could even hit him at all the last 2 rounds.

JDS with a borefest but his nuthuggers think he's Mohammed Ali now.

Rothwell is the one who didn't do anything, JDS was throwing punches nonstop, Rothwell barely threw anything at all in this fight. I guess Junior should've just stood in front of him though, right?

 

[Luger]

JDS looked fantastic

Did he get back with his old wife?
He looked fast like when he was with her.

 

[Wadtucket]

Good job JDS

Managed to avoid the Darth Ben clutch for 5 rounds and jab him to death
