Mendez was all class, and only had 2 weeks to prepare. Obviously not in championship fight shape. But he was defending himself, his hand was up and shielding blows, he would of weathered 3 seconds , then he could of recovered between rounds, or his corner could've thrown in the towel. But at that level of promotion for a fight, I think u gotta let the guy have every chance. Lord, if the lawyer macdonald fight had been called like that, it'd never gone to the 5 th round. Hey, I got a question , just from a old guy that enjoys watching ufc. In my eyes, the lawyer macdonald fight may go down as the greatest ufc fight of all times. But do you think that fight, in general, has the potential to be the beginning of the end , or a even more regulated sport? Just like there are bed wetting liberals that use everything they can to legislate hogdogiing or outlaw, do you think the lawyer macdonald fight was so brutal that it will give those same folks that are trying to shut down and regulate to death mma a platform in pictures to back up their arguments? Should the fight have been stopped by the ringside doctor before macdonald dropped to the canvas in a fetal position, holding the bloody remains of his nose? Could the greatest fight in ufc history be used as a reason to change the sport or ban it? In the post fight , Dana said macgregor couldn't even tell them what day it was and had his nose broke in the first round, he said those things as an affirmation of macdonald said fighting spirit. But antis could also use those same words to strengthen their cause. I guess also I was surprised by the difference in the two main events, as far as stopping the fight. I realize macgregor kept coming out , round after round. And lawyer had a split lip like I never saw in a fight before. Awesome fight, but wow, I just don't see how macgregor ever is the same again. Just kinda thinking out loud here, word salad style. Last, who else thinks Matt brown shoulda got performance or knock out of the night instead of macgregor? I know it's great business for Dana and ufc to push macgregor and expand their brand to Ireland, but sometimes you push so hard, it makes one wonder if Dana isn't becoming too don kingish. All that said, it was the best 59$ I've spent in a while, excellent card.
