Episode 11/16 *spoilers*

Pretty good episode overall...probably the least drama out of any episode than I can remember. Decent fight I guess...Dillishaw is a tough guy but damn is he boring to watch. He threw some big bombs, but for the most part it was takedown and keep down for 3 solid rounds. I felt bad for Pague, but when your opponents takedowns and wrestling are that good you HAVE to connect and connect hard to put him out, otherwise you're hitting the mat and staying there.

Dillishaw did what he had to do and what he was expected to do to win...but by the third round I just immediately fast forwarded when he got the takedown.

But I'll give him one real solid note...Dillishaw listened to everything Bisping was telling him. When he told him to turn away from the fence that's immediately what he did...when he told him to start raining down punches, that's what he did. Good student, good at taking direction and learning.

ya pague didnt listen to miller 1 bit

That's what I thought about Pague, as well. Miller was absolutely right.
He obviously was great with his defensive guard, but you don't win MMA fights by closing your guard from the bottom and clamping down..... especially when the guy on top is staying (barely) busy enough to keep it there.
He had a lot of opportunities to- at the very least- create a scramble. Yeah, he may have come out on the wrong end of it and ended up back on the bottom and in an inferior position, but how would that be any different than the situation he was already in?
He definitely could have done more. Which is a shame, because his jitz was definitely at a point where he could have caught TJ with something (as opposed to some guys who just look overwhelmed when an elite wrestler puts them on their back), but he just seemed too hesitant to take the chance.

TJ did very well in his fight. I have to admit i know he is known for his wrestling but his stand up is pretty sharp too. He had some skill in his last 2 fights.

I missed half the show, but I got a bigger kick out of the UFC 139 commercial during the show!!
It showed Bisbing being knocked out from 3 different angles from Hendo!!

Thats a classic right there BABY!!

A sign of things to come

I gotta to be honest and maybe it's partly i am a die hard bisping fan but i think it is really sad through out hendos fight time this is only thing he seems to be remembered about. Not that he knocked out fedor or was a 2 weight champion at the same time. but oh the guy who knocked out Bisping. but i guess i could look at it as bisping is obvously the biggest feather in his cap seeing this is the only thing Hendo seems to be remembered by.

The fact that Bisping is known mainly for getting KTFO is a testament to his character. He's a prick, plain and simple and people like it when pricks get K'dTFO. On the flip side, people love Fedor, he's a humble champion that is well respected in the MMA community, so no, no one revels in the fact that he got KO'd.

Yeah it's more that people were excited to see Bisping get KO'd, and not so much that it was Hendo who KO'd him. It was just a nice KO in general, and the fact that it was Bisping just helped people enjoy it and remember it more.

I don't mean that in a hateful way, it's just my observation.
I know how you feel; you're probably tired of hearing about it. It would be the same way for me if Nick Diaz got brutally KO'd. People who hate Diaz (which seems to be a very high number of people lately) would endlessly joke about, make photoshops, gifs, and whatever else to humiliate him and his fans.
Fortunately for me, that's never going to happen!
