NATE vs CONOR 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
Conor looked good in the 1st but was outpunched in the 2nd, faded, became a panic wrestler then got handled on the mat and tapped.


HOLLY vs RONDA 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
Ronda chased wrecklessly and was outlanded consistently, failed to make it a grappling match, then got lit up and KO'd in the 2nd.


ROCKHOLD vs WEIDMAN 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
A fairly competitive fight early on, the decisive turn being that once Weidman got taken down off a missed kick, he did not possess the bottom-game to resist Rockhold and was eaten alive on the ground in both the 3rd and 4th rounds.


WERDUM vs VELASQUEZ 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
Velasquez took the fight to Werdum early but Werdum rallied, both men landing hard shots, and it was Cain who wilted, Werdum pouring it on before a TD resulted in a tap.


JONES vs CORMIER 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
A very close and hard-fought first three rounds preceded a dominant fourth where the fresher Jones took down the fading Cormier repeatedly, and an uneventful fifth where Jones still seemed to be mostly in control.



Which rematch will look least like the description above??
 
I mean... Maybe Weidman.

I'm not sure I see any of them going differently.
 
NATE vs CONOR 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
Conor looked good in the 1st but was outpunched in the 2nd, faded, became a panic wrestler then got handled on the mat and tapped.

Dont agree,gassed himself out headhunting and got wobbled and became a panic wrestler not really outboxed though

I expect the rematch to be 2-3 peice combos rather then wing big 1 punch shots.3 round fight i favour conor,5 rounds well he best get on his bike and use some movement.It will be like the first fight in a mainly standing affair though


HOLLY vs RONDA 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
Ronda chased wrecklessly and was outlanded consistently, failed to make it a grappling match, then got lit up and KO'd in the 2nd.


Depends on if ronda adapts her game plan.The gameplan really should be.Be patient and when holly pushes forward u go forward rather then constantly chasing her and running into her fists as she keeps the distance he wants constantly

ROCKHOLD vs WEIDMAN 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
A fairly competitive fight early on, the decisive turn being that once Weidman got taken down off a missed kick, he did not possess the bottom-game to resist Rockhold and was eaten alive on the ground in both the 3rd and 4th rounds.

I Honestly felt in the 2nd rockhold was about to get the finish as he started landing well.But chris was up on the scorecards till that horrible wheelkick

I say the rematch will end up with rockhold tkoing weidman in the standup this time around


WERDUM vs VELASQUEZ 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
Velasquez took the fight to Werdum early but Werdum rallied, both men landing hard shots, and it was Cain who wilted, Werdum pouring it on before a TD resulted in a tap.

Werdum smashes him.He doesnt fear the ground game and will strike freely.And cain will fear the ground even more so now and it will be a kicking boxing match and cains kickboxing is c level at best

Werdum kos him this time around late second round

JONES vs CORMIER 2
1 sentence summary of the original:
A very close and hard-fought first three rounds preceded a dominant fourth where the fresher Jones took down the fading Cormier repeatedly, and an uneventful fifth where Jones still seemed to be mostly in control.

Cormiers only offence was uppercuts from the clinch.I feel jacksons will have sorted out Jones head placement and it will be much like the first fight except that cormier will be stopped.

Cormier is stopped mid 3 vis gnp

Which rematch will look least like the description above??
 
I think both Nate vs Conor 2 and Weidman/Rockhold 2 will look different from the original fights

I can't see rousey doing anything different in a holm rematch
 
In before people start correcting your summary of the Diaz / McGregor fight.

Oh, too late.
 
Sea level Cain and if he can come injury free
 
Werdum vs Velasquez I'd say

Unless something has really changed with Cain I can't see him gassing in the second round again, and he'll know to be more careful with his panic wrestling after it got him submitted last time

McGregor vs Diaz too perhaps Conor will pace himself a bit better although gassing in the second when on a full camp isnt a good sign of his gas tanks capabilities

Rockhold vs Weidman will probably look more like the first 2 rounds for longer when it was competitive as long as Weidman doesnt throw any spinning shit

Hope Weidman loses though and his dad says HE'S STILL MYYYY BOOOOOYYYYYYYY!
 
I think Weidman takes the rematch.

That's my boy!!
 
Weidman will totally destroy Rockhold in the rematch. Mark. My. Words.

The rest of those rematches won't change much imo.
 
Weidman and Velasquez have the best chances of making better appearances next time
 

I said Nate "outpunched" Conor, I didnt say "outboxed".

There's a difference.

Consider a fight like Cotto-Margarito 1. Margarito won decisively, but he didnt outbox Cotto. Cotto was outboxing him by using superior skill and movement, but Margarito kept coming forward, taking shots himself, but throwing a lot, landing a lot as the fight wore on, and grinding Miguel down. He won by outpunching, not outboxing. (probably by cheating too, but that's another story)

There are more ways than one to win a fight with your hands.
 
Weidman Rockhold
Very Close until the end.
Weidman was too gassed to resist his top game.
