overhyped kickboxing with takedowns

As has been the case since Dana hype has been part of the ufc 2002 to now. this event was insanely talked up by Joe Rogan he had been speaking of this EPIC GRUDGE MATCH between Dillashaw and Garbrant. in a battle of 135 pounders the match at least had a finish. but again it was stand up punches to the face and head with occasional knees to the midsection thrown in yes someone won by knockout. but if the athletic Commissions force most martial arts fights to look like boxing fights how impressive is a win by ko really. out of 12 matches only one was finished by submission hold that match being Renato carneiro vs cub swanson a rear naked choke ended things. if you are more a fan of submission moves this card was not for you as the majority of these twelve matches went to a judges decision. fans of the original NO HOLDS BARRED ufc in the 1990's would for the most part hate this show because of all the early referee stand ups and early ref stoppages . weather fights end by submission move or strikes as a martial artist and a fighter that person should want to end a fight themselves rather then let boxing judges decide who they THINK won. due to four fights having a finish this event was not horrible but not great either. congratulations to the eight fighters who actually were trying to win their matches.
