Review: UFC 181


Attention! There are results of the event and my bets:

Johny "Bigg Rigg" Hendricks (C) (16-2-0) vs. Robbie "Ruthless" Lawler #1 (24-10-0 1 NC). (-100 $) Johny Hendricks should blame himself. Champion shouldn't allow such violent strikes. Robbie Lawler transformed sport in the street fight, but it's more honest to give him victory, because Johny Hendricks put himself in very bad positions, when Robbie Lawler showed his desire to win.
Anthony "Showtime" Pettis (C) (17-2-0) vs. Gilbert "El Nino" Melendez #1 (22-3-0). (+38,46 $) Gilbert Melendez fought well, he had a good strategy to close distance, to clinch his opponent as I wrote: http://mmanewsviews.blogspot.com/2014/12/clay-carpenter-guida-11-ftw-reveals.html. We all know how the fighter should fight to beat Anthony Pettis, but to try is not to win. Congratulations, Anthony!
Travis "Hapa" Browne #3 (16-2-1) vs. Brendan "Big Brown" Schaub (11-4-0). (+29,41 $) For what merits Brendan Schaub got fight with fighter from Top-3, excluding champion? More interesting fights against Browne could be here: rematch with Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, for example. It was easy for Hapa.
Todd Duffee (8-2-0) vs. Anthony "Freight Train" Hamilton (13-3-0). (-100 $) Todd Duffee stole my money. :) When the fight started, I understood that there was no chance for Hamilton, because he struck at non-technical level. I bet on Todd's long break, but he proved that he was ready to go to the top, as I wrote here: http://mmanewsviews.blogspot.ru/2014/10/todd-duffeereturn-is-closer-and-closer.html
Tony "El Cucuy" Ferguson (17-3-0) vs. Abel "Killa" Trujillo (12-5-0 1 NC). (+40 $) Abel Trujillo is very dangerous fighter. He put much power and speed in his punches, but Tony Ferguson was enough elusive to dodge these strikes, he had more energy, I bet on KO, because all we saw Trujillo at knockdowns, but Tony was more smart to finish this fight by submission.
Urijah "The California Kid" Faber #3 (31-7-0) vs. Francisco "Cisco" Rivera #11 (10-3-0 1 NC). (+18,18 $) It's offensively...It was serious eye poke, and I think, Francisco Rivera should appeal the decision.
