GDT: UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Sandhagen

[td_ice]

Reminds me a bit of Yan vs Merab, in terms of domination, start to finish. (so far)

 

[CDJ]

Not close. All Sandhagen

 

[I am not exposed]

50-45 Sandhagen imo

Very smart fight by Sandhagen

 

[bov]

Sandhagen just too good for Chito. Not a surprising result, but I was hoping for a more competitive fight.

O'Malley vs Sandhagen would be a great matchup.

 

[Avs_19]

Either 5-0 or 4-1 for Sandhagen.

Sandhagen is the better technical fighter but I'm still surprised at how easy he made it look. It was never competitive.

Maybe I also just overrated Vera's recent run with wins over washed versions of Frankie/Cruz and Font.

 

[bov]

That judge should be thrown in jail, what a scumbag POS.

 

[I am not exposed]

Lol. Which judge gave Vera that fight. WTF!

 

[Avs_19]

Texas, man. Just straight trash judging every single time.

 

[CDJ]

Jesus f***ing christ stop having events in Texas

 

[Tobias Kahun]

48-47 vera?

who the f*** was that

 

[pistolpete11]

Scoring that for Chito is awful. Sandhagen 50-45.

Not an entertaining fight which was disappointing. Especially with how boring the rest of the card was too.

 

[m9]

Sandhagen was moving around a ton laterally pre-fight and in retrospect it was a tell as he used it all fight. Shades of a prime Dom Cruz in there.

Not sure how Sandhagen does against Merab but should be interesting.

 

[Avs_19]

Merab vs. Sandhagen works for me. That seems like the fight to make since Merab isn't fighting Aljo.

No idea what's up with O'Malley. I do know there's zero chance they're putting him in there with Merab.

 

[Taytro]

Am I the only one who didn't think the 48-47 Chito was that bad? Especially compared to some of the score cards we've been getting lately. I don't think he won the fight by any means but those last 3 rounds didn't have a clear winner. Sandhagen did have more control but hard to argue that either did more damage. I certainly didn't think it was as bad as the commentary team seemed to think.

 

[bov]

O'Malley has indicated that he can basically wait for a title shot, which is too bad. He hasn't put himself ahead of Merab or Sandhagen, and in my personal opinion he is not better than Yan.

He should be fighting guys like Song Yadong but the name value will put him at the top, just the way it is.

48-47 Chito is honestly one of the worst scorecards I have ever seen. Disgusting. Nothing supports that score.

Pretty sure it's been said that O'Malley will get winner of Aljo/CCC.

Yeah, as long as it was the last three rounds I don't hate it as much as most. People seem to be outraged at every scorecard they don't like lately.

I wasn't scoring too closely, though.

 

[16Skippy]

A little underwhelming, Chito did too little too late. But Sandhagen is pretty awkward. Him vs Merab is a good idea though.

 

[CDJ]

I’m very drunk and bet on chito and I think 48-47 for him is incredibly stupid


I had 49-46 or 50-45 Sandhagen

I think that is a huge exaggeration, if this is one of the worst scorecards youve seen then you need to watch more fights. Again, I absolutely don't think Chito won but when there's not a ton of damage being landed on either side it's hard to have such strong opinions on the scorecards. I think the scorecard is wrong, but I don't think it's as bad as everyone's making it out to be.

 

[m9]

Regardless of how bad the scorecard is, the guy with the dissenting scorecard seems to only have a few fights that he's even judged in the mma decision database. Why are these guys judging big UFC fights? Makes no sense.

 

[I am not exposed]

I would not want to fight in Texas if I was a fighter.

Completely disagree. I think it has more to do with the dominance in the first 2 rounds, making the rest seem competitive in comparison. A total illusion that sways the incompetent mind.

I'll wait for a single human being to come close to justifying 3 rounds to Vera. The numbers weren't even remotely close, not to mention the takedowns. I have been watching this sport obsessively for a long time and that scorecard is despicable.

You clearly have very strong opinions/like to exaggerate and seemingly aren't able to have a normal conversation without blowing things out of proportion. So I won't pry anymore and just simply disagree. Chito clearly lost the fight however, the last 3 rounds weren't nearly dominant or decisive enough to make this one of the worst scorecards in recent memory.

Athletic commissions are terrible.

Indeed it was
