F***in judges, i f***in hate them
gomi got screwed
Call a cop..Gomi got robbed!!!!
How in God’s green earth did Sanchez win this fight!? And will Kenny get off Diego’s nuts? Just because Sanchez ragged dolled Florian at 185 doesn’t mean Diego is all that and a bag of Tony Robbins.
total robbery.
first round went to sanchez. the rest went to gomi. ridiculous.
and gomi looked phenomenal, too! best he’s looked in the UFC, IMO.
Gomi won.
how the F*** does sanchez get all these robbery wins ?? i remeber the kampman fight he got his ass beat and still won WTF!
Diego came in fat, pudgy, and gassed and he was gifted a decision…? Seriously?
They should make a rule for the dumb judges: if a fighter comes in heavier, he should start the fight one point behind to give him a sense of urgency. Diego’s fat@ss bounced his pudgy belly around for three rounds and didn’t do anything significant.
Yeah I thought Sanchez got back on track with his cardio and his shape since he was fighting 155 but he actually looked worst then when he was 170…
Crappy fight.
Agree with all of you, Gomi won that fight.
I saw it a bit differently. First off, Florian and Anik were riding in Gomi’s jock the whole way. Multiple times in round 2 while Diego was landing solid punches and kicks those two clowns were too busy pumping up Gomi to notice and comment. Heck I thought they were getting paid every time they said Takanori or Gomi. In an exchange against the fence Gomi landed a decent body shot which they called and claimed hurt Diego, completely ignoring the huge right from Sanchez that backed Gomi off and made him tip his head in acknowledgement. I don’t even like Diego, and found the bias sickening. If you listened and didn’t watch closely of course you thought Gomi won. Sanchez blocked a LOT of Gomi’s combos, and I mean a lot of them. And his body kicks were the hardest and best shots of the fight. I had Sanchez in round 1 and 2, and Gomi very close but winning round 3.
Not a fan of either guy, but I like to see fairness both in commentary and judging. IMO the commentary was wildly biased for Gomi, but the judges actually got this one right.
What the Hell?? Who judged this fight? Stevie Wonder?
garbage
Am i really going to be the first to say it? Sanchez won that fight….He outstruck Gomi in the 2nd round and the won the first with take downs. I thought Sanchez won and that was a fair decision.
s***, I fell asleep. Did Machida win?
Booooo. Gomi won. It was close though. I don’t like Diego so I think I’m a little bias, but it seemed that Gomi won rounds 2 and 3.
All of you who think Gomi wan that fight are losing it.
Re-watch the fight without sound and you’ll see who actually won that fight – Sanchez. He got the better of Gomi in almost every exchange.
Wow people are actually backing Gomi.
Gomi won that fight
War Sanchez, to hell with Gumi bear
Sanchez for sure won round 1 and maybe round 2 – But I didn’t see it that way and watched to fight a couple times sense. And still think Gomi won not sure how they gave that to Sanchez.
As for the commentary which was more my focus, it was funny you could hear anything with Deigos cock in KFlo mouth, not sure what fight the previous guy was watching but they were all about Sanchez. KFLO is the worst announcer ever missed punches called people being hurt when they werent I mean can fox/fuel just pay Goldy and Joe to call these fights
