IDK, I only watched their last fight live, so I could be misremembering, but it seemed like neither really ever had the other in trouble. Here are the stats:

The kinda awkward style of DDP vs the predictable steady style of Sean is what made the difference imo
Weak UFC tomorrow. But will probably watch the main event to see if Cejudo still has anything left in the gas tank. He SHOULD steam roll Song, who is 3-2 in his last 5 and has zero wins over any top contenders. But he is >10 years younger, 4" Taller and has a 3" reach advantage.
If Cejudo does not win this convincingly, I think he needs to re-retire.

His loss to Merab has aged very well but like you say, if he doesn't get past Song, it's time for introspection.
Even with low expectations, last night was a let down. Sucks that Cejudo got poked in the eye. He was sort of getting a groove going. But Song was getting the better of most exchanges due to the height/reach.
Not sure what Cejudo let the fight continue and lose on pts when he could have just not continued and it be a NC. Seems like a lapse in judgment to think his vision would improve given 90 more seconds.
Henry should probably retire. Yea he might have won last night. But he should have ran right through him. At best he can be a gate keeper to the top 10. That doesn't pay well enough to justify the damage he will endure.

Prelims:
First fight (Diaz vs Santos) was a barn burner. They fucking THREW! I was tired just watching it.
Second fight was a straight robbery. Santos got beat, clear as day. I smell corruption with teh TUF prospect getting the 'gift' like that.
Fight 3: Leal beat the breaks off Morono!
Fight 4: Good win for Ferreira, but he needs to learn how to get inside on bigger fighters. He was getting picked apart on the outside most of the fight.
Fight 5: Tsuruya had nothing but wrestling for Van....and Van stuffed 99% of it and made him pay for it.
PPV:
Fight 1: Ruffy sent Green to the Shadow Realm out of NOWHERE with that swift wheel kick!
Fight 2:....lame
Fight 3: Short, meh. Turner got caught in a nice triangle. Good win for Bahamondes, but not gonna gain any fans from it.
Fight 5: Money. Justin and Fiziev both looked great. Especially since Fiziev was a late swap and not in camp. Justin needed that win to prove he still had it.
Main Event: Was a meh fight. Poatan looked hesitant and Ankaleav had moments, but mostly a boring fight....cuz Ankalaev. Lots of Leanding against the cage. He is going to be BORING champion. Notice there are NO HIGHLIGHTS from this fight.

Brady completely destroyed Edwards with pressure and dominant ground control. Edwards had no answers at all.
Yet another meh card from the UFC tomorrow.
Moreno/Erceg might be fun, but the rest is flat on paper. I may watch that fight, but the rest of the card I am skipping.
BUT Rizin 50 is this weekend!!!!

That should be a lot of fun. But will probably have to catch a replay in the morning due to the time difference.

Just when i thought my respect for Mark Hunt couldn't get any lower.
The "you're not a fighter" shit is peak cringe. It is like screaming "i'm insecure!"
Do you see me dressing down people over their game opinions? What about your doctor doing it to their patients?
Its only Wednesday, but I think its worth reminding folks about UFC 314 this weekend. This card looks so good!

Two fights in and this is great. First fight was blah. But damn were they throwing in Tulio/Gore!
Gore is tough as shit… cuz he took a shit tone of clean strikes. Tulio looked sharp.

Has been terrible since. Just match up after match up with giant young guys vs weathered veterans. And these young guys are not impressive at all.
