It's a superfight and they didn't let him go out on his shield. I saw better referring on the undercard. He looked like Skeletor at the weigh-in. The cut to 125 was too much for TJ. Cejudo ragdolled him as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckledraggin Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Did you watch the Texiera fight? would you have stopped that fight? That wasn't even a title fight let alone a legacy fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy is willing to sacrifice himself before the fight, then he should be given that same respect during the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ couldn't even stay on his feet. I'm glad it was stopped when it was. That means we'll get another superfight even sooner at 135. Had TJ gone out on his shield, he would have needed months to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckledraggin Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 There just wasn't ending a strike that ended the fight. It was a referee stoppage and they all suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarcore Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It was early but it was still going to end. That Hardy fight was an absolute joke. That had no business being on TV let alone co main.... I loved when the other guy taunted him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a fighter can't even stay on his feet after he gets up, he's in an extremely vunerable position. TJ went down 4 times in a span of 30 seconds. The stoppage, although too quickly done, was the right call in order to keep TJ from inevitably taking too much unnecessary damage. It sucks for TJ and his fanboys, but the real fight will be at 135. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of examples of fights that should have gone longer or stopped earlier. I don't think we got the result from tonight that proved anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved when the other guy taunted him though. TV is fine, but it probably should have been in the prelims on the main channel just before Cowboy's fight. Crowder can taunt all he wants though, he was still losing that fight and would have likely been taken out by KO had it gone on much longer. Luckily for him, Hardy is inexperienced and has impulse control problems. It enabled him to snatch a win out of the jaws of defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref is required to end a fight once a combatant taps out. Edited January 20, 2019 by SabreFan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ref in the main event had stepped in and stopped the fight after all of those vicious elbows to Texiera's head, then he wouldn't have had an opportunity to come back. I think Dillishaw should have been KO'd to lose that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He very nearly did stop it but Glover intelligently defended himself when he grabbed his opponent's leg to drag him down so the ref backed off. TJ wasn't intelligently defending himself. He just kept getting dropped and taking punishment. Edited January 20, 2019 by SabreFan1 Just checked the replay. Different Ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll watch it a few more I suppose and it's so much easier to make the decision after the fact, but I still haven't seen an angle that leads me to be believe that it wasn't a quick stoppage.

Writing on the wall is a weird subjective thing and it's my whole point. A fight of that magnitude needs to be left until a winner is decided. The crowd was booing the initial decision.

It will be hard to find a HW on the roster for Hardy to beat with what we saw tonight. They'll drag up some bum I'm sure. I love me some freakshow fights being a fan since early 2000s and Pride. Maybe bring Minowaman out of retirement! Your sig needs to be changed. Make is a 3 punch combo with Skinner :p Edited January 20, 2019 by Gnarcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
