BJ controlled the fight the whole time. He was near perfect. Congrats to BJ. Can't wait to see him fight again

I don't disagree with the Maynard decision. When he was just lying there, I thought it was a bad call. But when the doc sat him up and he fell back over, that's when you knew he had knocked himself out.
I feel really bad for Manny. He dominated that first round and there is no doubt in my mind that he would have won that fight. He said he has had this same injury before, so I hope doctors are able to help him and this isn't something that holds him back. His body type is amazing for 155. He can overpower everyone in the lightweight division.
I haven't been overly impressed by Diaz all of the times I've seen him. He seems to be very good with submissions, but he is constantly fighting off the other opponent taking him down. I know he is only 22 and has a great brother to train with, but he still needs a lot of work imo.
I am THRILLED that BJ won. BJ is one of my favorite MMA fighters. He dominated Pulver from start to finish. It was a very impressive fight for BJ. I didn't realize he was only 28 years old. I never saw his fight with GSP, but I would LOVE that match. Too bad that match won't happen for a while. I'm guessing it will be Hughes beating Serra and GSP beating Koscheck. I still like GSP over Hughes, and after that, I would love a GSP vs BJP for the title.
My gripe with the Maynard decision is because the EXACT same @#%$ happened in Carlos Newton/Matt Hughes. Hughes got caught in that triangle and picked up Newton...and then he passed out thereby powerbombing Newton. But Hughes still got the victory. I guess it was because nobody could see Hughes face for a longer period of time so Hughes could get away with it. I remember he even had to ask his corner "I won?"
Yeah man I feel horrible for Manny. Dude was DOMINATING that fight no question. If the fight had played out...Manny probably would have just won by unanimous decision seeing as how Diaz would need to be KO'ed to quit.
I think Diaz problem is that he just isn't strong enough. I mean, he has great ground skills but a lot of times Manny just overpowers him. Against Corey Hill, he was fine because they were both relatively lanky and weak. But when he went up against Maynard he got overpowered again and was forced to work off his back. Granted, Maynard is a collegiate wrestler...I still think Diaz should spend some time working on his explosive and overall strength.
That Penn/Pulver fight was great though. I'm glad Penn won because I did not want him losing 3 in a row...hopefully that doesn't help to Wanderlei Silva either. He looks GREAT in the lightweight division. Anybody else notice he has an actual jaw line at 155? lol

I just found out I tore my groin off the bone and have a hernia.
Ill be getting surgery ASAP.
For those that don't frequent Sherdog forums...a lot of pro fighters post on their from time to time to hype up their fights and Phil is a regular. That sounds like the worst injury any man can endure. Props to him though he WILL be back.
Off topic a little:
I am SO disappointed in what Loiseau has become. His last victory I believe was in a small venue in Austin and he won by decision over some no name jobber. Hopefully he can pick things up in the future.
