It didnt deliver as much as it could have considering the two guys involved, but geez the negativity, especially at the end of a great card full of finishes.

It was the only fight I saw and didn’t finish the end of it, because I didn’t even know where the ufc was on until the last minute. Even this dumb as forum didn’t properly communicate it and I had to click 3 different things on the ufc website just to find out it’s on ESPN. The ufc fucking blows goats for quarters now
Lol Kirik has literally 1 job left to do and he always either forgets or posts it late af
But all honesty aside not many people post much MMA stuff in this MMA forum, only thing sadder is the Boxing thread lol it’s all food jajaja
Geez wtf i can’t even type u f c .com/ events without it getting all twisted up???
Ige now kattar emmet must be paying off these judges no way he won that fight.
He gives them free breast milk. There’s a formula shortage, ya know?

I watched the fight last night and turned it off before they announced the decison under the impression that kattar won. Insane one of the judges gave the 4th round to emmet.
Chris Lee fucked the entire decision by giving Emmett the 4th , he not only got out struck but he also got wobbled and hurt badly with an elbow.
Insane, how 1 judge can completely fuck a fighters career by snoozing or texting at the wrong time .

Yea Kattar worked him in the 5th too badly which I thought sealed the deal. Such shit judging. Emmet has been lucky as hell his last 2 fights.

Yeah, the 4th round was the easiest to judge. That’s insane.
The fight was ridiculously close. Lol @ turning it off and assuming the winner.
Obviously the 1 judge is an idiot to give round 4 to Emmett, but it would be completely reasonable for a judge to give Emmett the 1st 3 rounds.

I disagree that Calvin is a generic fighter. He has all of the attributes of an elite fighter, he just didn’t use them last night. His boxing is the best at 145 (outside of Max). He has great low kicks and nice snapping teep up the middle he likes to throw when he feints a round kick. He’s got slashing/upward elbows, knees in the clinch. Very good TDD and slick boxing defense. He is maybe slightly above average in speed and decent power, but not especially athletic. If he didn’t put all of that focus on his boxing, he wouldn’t have gotten nearly as far as he has in the UFC. I wouldn’t call him a specialist, but he definitely semi-specializes in boxing since it is the overwhelming dominant force in all of his fights, and his skill level in that department is very high.
If anything I’d say Josh is the more generic fighter. Typical blitzes with moderate athleticism and speed, combined with the same looping punches thrown with significant force. He rarely throws any kicks or even a cross, he rarely shoots for takedowns, doesn’t use much of knees or elbows, has average striking defense, and isn’t particularly known for good striking technique. Outside of his explosions, he doesn’t really show a good striking base. Not many jabs, no leg kicks, nothing to operate behind. He gets by on his power and semi-athleticism. He’s pretty much the definition of the new age athleticism-over-skill generic no-specialization fighter.
Oh, and he looks like Nosferatu.
It bothered me how many arm punches those people that count significant strikes gave Emmett during the first 3 rounds.
I do not believe a punch that connects with an arm (when Kattar does that cross defensive move from Boxing) should count as a significant strike, to me it is almost as an air punch because it causes almost no damage.
But those guys would count all his arm punches and show them on the screen and it made those first 3 rounds seem much closer than they actually were.
I gave Emmett round 3 and mayyyybe Round 1 but even then his unches simply made noise but did not connect whereas Kattar did connect with jabs.
Then you got morons like Sal D’Amato to sleep during most of the fights just to wake up and see what the significant strikes count tells him and then flips a coin in his head. Chris Lee scoring the 4th for Emmett is fucking brutal too.
Kattar did not fight to the best of his ability but he clearly won that fight. Emmett showed aggression and scored some nasty body shots but the sport should value actual damage and hits connected and not simply noise.

My man.
You just articulated what I couldn’t in my posts above. You’re exactly right. Emmett was not landing the way the numbers showed, and especially the way the crowd would indicate. Kattar uses that cross shell a lot when moving away or laterally, he is rarely standing in the pocket with his hands down.
Emmett definitely landed, but not nearly as much as the stats showed. This is why I dislike the “significant strikes” count. They are certainly useful, and sometimes can be indicative of who won the fight, but most of the time they are not accurate. I posted yesterday that the crowd was going wild simply because Josh was exploding, but a lot of times those shots landed on the arm, grazed Calvin, or missed completely.
This happens in a LOT of fights where one guy is a more technical, volume based striker and the other is an aggressive, power-based striker. The latter is able to do enough in the judges eyes despite missing a lot of shots, and the former clearly out striking them. And a lot of times the strike counts are way off. In this fight, I had Kattar beating Josh both in terms of damage and volume.
That probably had something to do with why Calvin didn’t push the pace even more than he did, he became more aggressive later but still never left second gear. He more than likely thought he had decisively done enough by the fourth, as did I. Still, the Calvin I know would have been walking Josh down, maybe the Max fight changed him.
