Shitty situation for DC really. I can understand not wanting to get fluke KO'd by silva.. but at least try to finish silva on the ground. Fuck that blanket shit. Not a fan of that fight at all from DC.
He had to though. That shit was a lose lose for DC, you either beat up an old man on short notice or you let him knock you the fuck out, which looked to be a very possible threat the few times it was standing.
Edit: The MMA gods might reap their vengeance though, as DC has fully exercised his right as a fat faggot, coming in purposely tubby, while also declaring he will try to hug his way to a safe win.
This type of shit is frowned upon, and I could easily see another wonderful right hand turning off the lights in his fat head once again.
The only thing that sucks for Stipe though is there is basically no way to defend against eye pokes, especially deliberate ones that are constantly flying. The only way that doesn't work is if the ref is diligent and takes points.
If he does get poked, Stipe should fucking poke back.
He hurt his foot, self inflicted. Vera took advantage of him falling/tripping over his foot. But Vera only landed two strikes before Herb shitilily called the fight early.
Early stoppage for sure, but O'Malley puts waaay too much torque on his joints with all his weird ass feints. I'm surprised he hasn't blown out a knee yet.
