Randy's the man. It sucks that he'll have to fight Crocop now. I really would have liked to see CroCop destroy Silvia. Maybe they will have Shitty Pants fight Crocop as a warmup to the randy fight.
-
Congrats to Randy
We don't have to hear about Tim wearing his belt in public places ;D
-
Man I was hopeing for Randy to win, but that was total and compleat ownage! He almost took him out in the 1st punch ;D

This makes sense.
His Pride career aside, Crocop has only fought once in the UFC, and Sylvia's performance was so bad that he should have to earn another title shot.

i tell you what. if they have crocop fight sylvia before he fights randy tim will probably retire for medical reasons.

That's how you tell real fighters apart.. the real ones don't put up excuses if they lose. Only whiny bitches do.

Not at all. It was a great tactical grappling match between Lytle and Hughes. I thought Matt was going to attempt the far side arm bar sooner, or the Kimura from North/South. He wasn't so set on throwing elbows from the side control postion. He seemed intent on securing the arm under his legs prior to opening up. Lytle did a good job defending, but he seemed to preoccupied with the guillotine, and should have recovered full guard instead. The UFC audience just needs to get better informed about the ground game.

Tim was out on his feet from that punch, I reckon if Randy had stayed on his feet instead of taking his back he would have finished him there.

Instead of taking his back, he should have kept throwing punches while he was along Tim's right side. He prolly would have gotten Tim to attempt to recover guard, in which case Randy would have ended up in side control where he could drop elbows to finish.

I think this was a case of the audience and a fighter having different objectives. Matt was very conservative from sidecontrol and didn't commit fully to subs for fear of losing position. The few times he did commit were at the end of rounds. This was smart fight strategy, but didn't make for an exciting fight.
The fans, on the other hand want to see an exciting fight whether it's good strategy for a certain fighter or not.
As an aside, I disagreed with Eddie Bravo's statement that Matt's passing was advanced Black Belt level.
Lytle was playing the half-guard game with a hook in as opposed to figure fouring the trapped leg. His objective being to elevate Hughes, and put him back in guard or reverse the position. The best way to beat that type of half-guard is to drop your inside hip on the hooking leg and slide the knee through. Matt didn't seem to know this. He passed by raising the hooked leg. He got away with it because his base is amazing, but it wasn't technically correct.
Towards the end of the fight, I thought Lytle should've tried to roll away and give his back. At the point, there was nothing to lose.
Lytle wasn't too crafty from the bottom of side-control, either. I have a little trick that often works well. I leave the far arm hanging a bit, if my opponent takes the bait and attacks it by bringing the arm over that was previously trapping my head, I shoot my arm up and towards his near hip and then shrimp back to guard.

I think Matt's skill level is advanced purple, not black. He gets by because he is extremely athletic, and he sets up his guard passes with good combination body/head strikes. He definitely isn't a textbook BJJ player. He could have attacked the far side arm from side control. I love this position, or he could have transitioned to N/S and secured a Kimura. But like you said, he was smart and played the position game, instead of being aggressive going for submission. Had he hust passed his right foot, he would have nailed that armbar on Lytle at the end of the round. He got lazy, and Lytle ended back in his guard at the end of the round. Tactical match, but very conservative. I still found it exciting.
