[quote name='shotgunshine']Man, Clay Gudia was on some bullshit tonight. What the hell was he doing? I actually like fighters that fight smart, counter, move well etc, but there is a difference between smart defensive fighting and running. Clay pretty much ran five full rounds...very glad they gave the win to Maynard. I gave Guida the first two and Maynard the last three. How did yall score it?[/QUOTE]
This is what happens when you give an average fighter (Guida) a strategy best used by top-tier fighters (Condit, Jones). Guida, at best, has below-average SS and is primarily a grinder-type wrestler.
Guida, on his own, made Jimmo-Sokoudjou and Starnes-Quarry look like Sonnen-Silva 1. I'll have to make a note about the judging in Atlantic City. They did a very good job throughout the entire night.
A few notes from the FX 4 card:
-Very happy to see Dan Miller pick up a win. He's been through a lot.
-Supposedly, Ebersole will attempt a move down to 55. That sounds crazy for a dude his size.
-Waldburger has put on a lot of lean mass. Very noticeable difference in body composition from Hendricks fight to Ebersole fight.
-I had been busy all Friday and forgot to check the line on Hioki-Lamas. I wanted to bet big against Hioki. I can't express how great my displeasure is in not sinking in a bet.
