Rory made me a big fan last night. I just knew he was gonna win. He is so young and only getting better and better.
danggook - It's awesome that ww title fights went from conservative boring decisions go balls to the wall nonstop back and forth war.
Lawler deserves all the money Zuffa could throw at him. That fight, like his last few, was the kind of war that makes hardcore fans out of the casual viewers.
Nobody can question both those guys hearts
Anybody got a post fight pic of Rory's face?
Who exactly has been calling him out? I don't see how anyone could possibly justify questioning that man's heart/fighting spirit.
His body gave out. Nothing else to it.
Yer_Momma -Whoa, that was tough to watch.face to foot technique - http://gfycat.com/FakeExaltedIchthyostegaHoly shit at that gif
Got this from one of the other threads, rory gained alot of fans tonight. Literally gave it his all it looked like his body started to shut down, pretty scary gif from after the fight.

Brings new meaning to 'the hurt business'.
Hope he recovers well.
around r2 when rob was landing siome power, i was thinking rory doesnt wanna be in the fight anymore.
then he turned it on and nearly kod him end of r3, and early r4
yeah he had heart
Wasn't able to watch the fight but that post fight gif makes him look absolutely fried.
Medusas Weave -ApolloRD -The Power Double -ApolloRD -The Power Double -Wow. I even regret calling it tapping to strikes as molten said above because that's not what it was.ApolloRD - There are people questioning his heart??<span class="User-339174" id="userPost54052936">There were yes, even on here in the 189 discussion. <img alt="Phone Post 3.0" border="0" src="/images/phone/apple.png" style="vertical-align:middle;" /></span></blockquote> <span class="User-339174" id="userPost54052936">I'll check it out, that's crazy to me. Because he essentially tapped to strikes im assuming? <img alt="Phone Post 3.0" border="0" src="/images/phone/droid.png" style="vertical-align:middle;" /></span></blockquote>
Damaynevent: That's another Canadian basically tapping to strikes. Makdessi vs Cowboy and now Rory.
MedusasWeave: the fragile canadian psyche cannot handle american brutality. how does democracy feel, america jr??? huh
TheBigRedOne: Dive!
TheBigRedOne: Not a good reason to quit. Boxers get their noses destroyed all of the time, and they don't quit.
TheBigRedOne: Very disappointed in Rory. Hopefully, Mendes makes up for that.
Rory is so young, future still very bright.
It was tapping to strikes. If reality pisses you off i don't know what to say.
Not saying most people in the world would not do the same.
He didn't tap...at all. So it wasn't tapping to strikes. His body shut down from pain. A liver shot does that to you, but you don't say someone tapped out due to strikes. Who the fuck knows what kind of damage that last punch did...It could have put a piece of bone into his sinus cavity, or through a nerve. There are points where your body shuts down from pain. At no point did Rory actually tap. His nose exploded, he went down, Robbie tagged him a couple of times and John stepped in. There was no tap.
ausgepicht -MMA fans can be such bitches. Robbie's the man and Rory is too...it's just that Robbie went home with the W. Why can't people root for both fighters in MMA? WTF is the matter with people. I'd like to see one of these clowns tame ONE blast from Robbie and see if they have heart.
Fucking this.
Big fan of both guys. Amazing fight. Some of the biggest balls I've ever seen in the face of what had to be frightening damage.
