when I say damage isn't a criteria in judging a fight, I mean over all. people like to say, "well look at his face." some people bruise, cut and bleed easier than others and the state of someone's face doesn't necessarily tell the whole story.

I don't think Hendricks controlled the whole fight like a lot are saying. they both have times where they are in the pocket, take control of the center or back pedal. for the most part they are both engaging. gsp has the advantage once they start striking from the outside but in the clinch Hendricks had the advantage overall. when Hendricks closed the gap he was successful but not from the outside. their wrestling nullified eachother but George had 3 takedowns and Hendricks has 2 overall.

Not to mention damage that doesnt show externally, like a damaged rib or ruptured spleen. Can't really do a fair assesment of damage when you cant see and quantify all of it, so they dont use "damage" as a stand alone indicator.

Also I like your break down of the fight, but still I give that round to Hendricks since he did a good job of relocating GSP in the clinch, and thats about the only cage control that happened that round
 
Glory 12 is on tonight. I believe that it's free on Spike.

Pacquiao vs Rios is on tonight as well.

Froch vs Groves is on right now.
 
Anybody watch Froch vs Groves? Crazy fight. I didn't agree with the stoppage, but that was one of the best fights that I've seen in a while. Headbutts, elbows, late punches after the break; a genuinely dirty scrap with two guys who don't like each other. Great fight.
 
Anyone see the article where Rogan was talking about how he believes gsp has brain damage? Very interesting. GSP has openly admitted to random vision loss and missing large amounts of time from his memory. On a podcast he talked to Joe about basically driving home, and then waking up in his bed with no idea how he got there. He joked about chalking it up to being abducted by aliens, but this is seriously scary stuff. He is a really young guy. What if he is all Muhammed Ali by the time he is 45? It would be terrible for the sport
 
.....or,what if he suddenly forgets how to drive while he is driving home some night?

He's been suffering the loss of time/memory since he was a kid. Sounds like alien abduction to me.
 
Watching a bit of Glory now before I head out and as my first time seeing it I enjoy the almost constant action verses the lulls and occasional snooze fests of cage fighting.
 
did anybody catch RFA last night?

dang, Chinzo Machida laid a guy OUT. one of the best timed knees I've ever seen, it was scary. the guy was down a long time and was taken away by stretcher


I got glory on dvr so i'll catch it maybe tomorrow as tonight is movie night with the mrs.
