I was amazed through out the entire fight. But what struck me the most as I had to check my play speed as on youtube it seemed I was watching it in 2x speed. or atleast 1x speed. Are these guys human? I have seen this before when two fighters and are relentless compete at a high pace...but these two set the record.
In my opinion this fight was epic not because of the non stop pace and relentless heart ,but because of the numerous heavey shots alvarez took and for that matter also chandler But both still kept the pace and coming at each other.
We have been seeing some incredible MMA this year But this as of right now is the fight of the year and possibly the fight of the decade.
Crazy, crazy fight. Don't want to sound anti-Zuffa shill or something but Alvarez-Chandler>Shogun-Henderson and I really enjoyed them both immensely
I only was able to watch two fights that night but both were unbelieveably good. Just wish I had seen Wand vs Le.
There is no question that it was a better fight than Shogun and Hendo. There no breaks and resting and the actiong was just better. The only thing that was missing was the big names. It was the best fight I've seen in a good while.
Large Fun Bags - Amazing, amazing fight.
Only peeve is how they kept calling eddie the best LW in the world, It was actually quite comical.
Obviously not, he just got choked out by a guy not even in the top 25.
he's in the top 25 now , that's how it works .

I didn't think Alvarez was #1 in the world, but as promoters it wasn't unreasonable for Bellator to make that impossible to disprove claim. GSP was #1 in the world and lost to Matt Serra...Matt Serra.
Havent watched it yet but crazy that Shogun/Dan may not even be fight of the night.

Yeah, well he was only 8 fights into his career, and not in the UFC. So rankings were basically inapplicable to him, not to imply that in general they mean much, because they don't. Chandler was undefeated. Theoretically he could be the best lightweight in the world but just wasn't given the opportunity to prove it. Anybody who wasn't aware already that he had outstanding ability is ignorant or blind. I picked him to beat Alvarez, and that wasn't a slight on Alvarez.
