And they shouldn't.

Unless it’s an absolutely legendary barn burner like Poirier vs Hooker, Apex main events won’t be spoken about. Even Tsarukyan vs Gamrot never gets brought up despite being a wrestling masterclass

💯

@@zinidinerahman4168the fact that Tsarukyan vs Gamrot isnt talked about more is insane.. it just confirms we have way too many casuals in the fan base who dont appreciate grappling.. that was one of the best fights ive ever seen

Hundred percent

Seriously tho

Scuffle?

@@raqqmuffin7127they were at a casino and Brendon swung on Marvin( I think he hit him like twice)

​@@raqqmuffin7127yeah a few months ago they had a lil scrap at a UFC event. Allen is doing well in MW now. Strickland beat him, but he beat Curtis 2x and Curtis is Sean's buddy. Vettori makes sense Allen's been a win streak now. I think 5-6 fight.

​@@too_sturdypretty sure Chris and Allen are 1-1

Yeah the judges don’t know what caused the leg injury so they have to assume it was Allen and gave him the round. I thought 1 4 and 5 were pretty clearly Allen

Nah curtis won round 5. If he lost that round because he hurt himself than that's just bad judging

14:09

I’m surprised you guys thought he won 5. I thought that was the clearest for Curtis and the injury shouldn’t make any difference.

Curtis may have landed more in round 2 but Allen had bigger impact with his shots, Curtis just took them well. Curtis also rocked Allen in round 3 but Allen overall landed a lot more. So very close rounds, but I do see the argument for Curtis 2,3,5. (The grappling wasn’t really much of a factor, no real sub attempts I’d count as effective). But Allen won on my scorecard.

Tore his hamstring

Round 5 was not that clear cut, I scored for Allen because of the takedowns and final exchange where Curtis was shelling up. Very very close fight, a FOTY contender imo

@@johntolbert8467 You new? Take downs are nada without strikes or at least a sinking in a sub attempt, and they certainly don't trump the damage accumulated from significant strikes through the round.

@@cmathews5909 like I said it’s when coupling those takedowns with the final exchange that gives Allen the round imo (all 3 judges scored 5 for Allen btw) he threatened subs with the first td and spent time on the back hunting subs with the last big td. When striking is relatively even you have to score different factors, I agree the takedowns are not as relevant as effective damage, but, in close fights sometimes multiple factors are needed to determine who won razor close rounds, and Allen had the bigger moments in that final round.

@@johntolbert8467 bruh, how judges score 5 in a 10 point must system? One guy is going to a 10 for winning the round, and the other will get a 9 or 8. If a fighter took 7 point round he was beaten so badly he's not going to survive the next round, so you pulled 5 out of no where. Per 2019 Unified Rules "Effective Striking/Grappling shall be considered the first priority of round assessments. Effective Aggressiveness is a ‘Plan B’ and should not be considered unless the judge does not see ANY advantage in the Effective Striking/Grappling realm. Cage/Ring Control (‘Plan C’) should only be needed when ALL other criteria are 100% even for both competitors." Allen started grappling cause he was losing the standup, and when he had Curtis on the ground he failed to do damage, or actually attempt to sink the choke. Constantly positioning your arms to threaten a choke will not end the fight, therefore its not effective. Furthermore, if you take time to read on, reversals void take downs and the guy who reversed scores on the reverse alone. Per 2019 ~ " It shall be noted that a successful takedown is not merely a changing of position, but the establishment of an attack from the use of the takedown.

Yep totally the case. People hatin' on Allen for no reason.

So, do I.

Curtis was in the lead but I’d say near the of round 5 secured it for Allen, once Curtis got injured.

bunch of youtube bots

Exactly

betul, ini menurut saya penilaian kurang adil...

@JayDee-k8m Fighting is scored off of damage, duration, and dominance. Curtis did more damage with his strikes over all, and when Allen took him down more often than not he did not do much with it. After round 2 there as a clear shift in energy in this fight.

Dream on!!

@JayDee-k8m HAHAHA!! Wrestling is not a scoring criteria, bub, and no, he did not out strike him other wise he wouldn't have been shooting Hail Mary take downs in the 4th and 5th rounds to save his life. Damage and ring generalship are the top scoring criteria under Unified Rules, and Allen face, and constant retreating sums that score.

@JayDee-k8m To be honest, the fight was over in the third when Curtis punched Allen in his left eye, and then Allen stopped the fight holding his right eye. Ref restarted the fight when the tape saw no foul. Under the Unified Rules, if a fighter stops the fight and there is no foul, he forfeits the competition and is no different than a sub. Maybe you should learn the rules; it makes the game better.

He controlled the entire fight, poser.

@@ASHsor bro is Allen paying you

​@@alexbowers2713curtis Doesn't know u son

Cope harder curtis got pieced up and ragdolled

⁠that's not what happened man

Reminds me of the action man toy from like 20 years ago

Only rnd you can count is rnd 1 and 5 possibly i could see why they give Allen 2 rnds but that’s all

Taking the back and rear naked attempts aren’t doing anything ? lol

@JayDee-k8myeah idk what these people are seeing with round 5. It was a wash on the feet and then Allen had more control on the ground that round.

It takedowns don’t count then how did Merab beat O’Malley

@JayDee-k8m round 2 wasn’t at all a coin flip that was the most clear round to score and it went to Curtis but I do agree Allen won the fight.

Please explain how he won 4 straight rounds in a row? thats crazy, close fight though.

In what world did Curtis win the 1st round lmfao

Well he’s not winning round 1 and he’s not winning the round where his hamstring got torn so please tell me the 4 rounds he won lol

He is not even winning the 4th round. Only 2nd and 3rd.

​@JayDee-k8m for some reason every fight the counted strikes dont ever seem to be accurate. A perfect example is israel vs strickland. It said israel landed like 50 significant strikes when he maybe landed 1 or 2

easily

Same people saying Curtis won on damage are the same people saying Merab beat O’Malley on wrestling lmao

just a clear W for Allen

@JayDee-k8m Outstruck Curtis?! 🤣🤣 Curtis landed the more damaging shots that rocked Allen badly which scoring is based on and escaped most of those takedowns. The last round Curtis hurt his leg/knee so it ended on a bad note but Curtis should have been given the nod.

@JayDee-k8m Reading through your ignorance will be even more satisfying to see when Imavov destroys Allen on Saturday.

@JayDee-k8m I think Allen *does* have a better mma career than Curtis but the fact remains he shouldn't have been given that decision. You probably thought Sean O'Malley beat Petr Yan too right? I take rides on the short bus sometimes but you live in it.

He got stopped by pillow hands Strickland on the feet and went life and death with Curtis, no chance 😂

@@user-vb3vq3xu3d No one thought Dricus had a chance. No one thought Strickland had a chance. No one though Belal had a chance. It's time to except MMA makes no sense lol

@@James-712 people thought all of those fighters had a chance?? what are you smoking

@@deltachang No one that Dricus would beat Whittaker, no one thought Strickland could beat Izzy, No one thought Belal would be an 11 fight win streak. Just look at the odds of their fights before the title 🤣

@@James-712 i literally won money off both DDP-Whittaker and Belal-Brady. saying "no one thought that" is objectively incorrect because I THOUGHT THAT

He's hated because he's one of the biggest crybabies in the sport.

Allen didn't win this fight and people hate on Curtis cause he complains a lot and is really salty sometimes

@@ZakiBTW yea this is the only right take

His fight with Jack Hermansson is why people hate him

Why wrestling don’t count unless it’s Merab 😂 ?

@@赐福-f4w Are you seriously comparing this to Merab. When merab took Sean down he was always working. Allen took him down in this fight and for the most part didnt land any damage or do much with the position. Granted he had the back and attempted RNC but with no success. Even the desk thought Curtis was up going into Round 5

@@j.a.g.8689 No the desk said they thought it was real close and the 5th round would determine. Well let’s see Allen took him down multiple times and had him hurt real bad at the end plus out struck him. My opinion it was 2-2 going into 5th. I was pulling for Curtis but he just got out classed. No robbery. Just talent

Interesting because guess who was getting beat up against the cage at the end?

@@ASHsor oh you’re talking about the last 40 seconds of the fight after Curtis got hurt? Ok Buddy he won 40 seconds of the fight are you happy?

@JayDee-k8m it was 2-2 going into the 5th which he was losing before Curts leg died

tearing his hamstring didn't lose him the fight. reacting to it like a wounded baby animal and shelling up against the cage lost him the fight.

@@deltachang hmm kinda true

@@dwoh4345 and it's not an insult to him. it's just stating the fact that i've seen fighters grit through injuries just as severe for a lot longer than ten seconds

@@deltachang of course but not every injury is the same

@JayDee-k8m do you give round 5 to allen because curtis hamstring got injured? Allen was exhausted and getting beat up failing takedowns that round

Hell nah. Strickland needs a title shot, not fight this clown.

الخباريه الحدث

@JayDee-k8m Well you are probably more biased than you think

Not even 5 lol. Curtis could barely stand at the end. Allen won round 5 in the last few seconds.
