Roy Nelson: “Lay Off My Kool-Aid”- “Matt he drank John’s juice because John ate or drank everyone’s stuff, especially my Kool-Aid that I had to make every day.”

lol. Honestly the first round was domination by Matt, I scored it 10-8. Second round he literally tried to pimp smack Scott Junk, Matt was throwing arm punches that wouldn’t of hurt a 3 year old girl in the last 3 minutes of the second round. Pathetic.

I had 10-8 in the first until Junk came on really strong at the end and landed a few big shots that looked to wobble Matt. Now is still should have been 10-8, but by scoring standards (implied, not as its written) and president set for a 10-8, I figured it would be a 10-9.

Honestly, that second round was pretty much something that both of those guys should have been absolutely embarrassed to have anyone see. They looked like they could barely stand up, and their “punches” were unlikely to be able to knock out anyone who even reads BE, let alone actually fights. If those guys do something on Wednesday nights in their home communities where people can come out and watch with them, this would have been a good night to have stayed home and avoided the mocking laughter of the bar crowd.
Dana White talking about them throwing “bombs” was the one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard.
To me, for something to be “a war” there has to actually be meaningful action. After about 3 minutes of Junk looking like a kindergartner crawling around on his knees desperately trying to find Matt’s ankle to desperately beg for some kind of a takedown and Matt just teeing off and backing away, these guys both looked like they had no business being on this show or being anywhere near the letters “UFC.” I can’t see either of those guys lasting even a round with any heavyweight I can think of in the UFC, actually.
I just for the life of me cannot figure out how this can be what you do FOR A LIVING, what you spend ALL DAY EVERY DAY training and preparing for, and you can’t even last 2 rounds without looking like you just ran a freaking marathon while carrying a backpack full of bricks. It’s a joke. And it was about the farthest thing from “a war” that I can imagine.

To be fair, Dana is a. trying to promote and b. was likely still pumped after a decent first round where he didn’t sit through a commercial break. I think he definitely scaled back his ridiculous rhetoric about banging and bombs after the second round. Although it still made me laugh at him.
