I am sad to say the Canadian boy was out of his league here. Lima was in legit form.

[The Rocketmen]

seems like it was a back and forth but damn those kicks.

[The Sandmen]

Shut up!

You don't sound too sad to me... And I also don't see how this was Lima shredding either. Neither guy really did anything here. Lima got the one lucky shot in; JMac didn't. End of story.

Lima is very much more legit than "JMac" though... Lima has wins over better opponents.

I disagree. Especially since JMac was tweaked for this fight and landed virtually the same amount of strikes as Lima. One lucky shot... That's it.

I think he means in real life. In real life, Douglas Lima is an actual fighter. In real life, Jason MacDonald happened to be there because no one else was.

Lima's pro record: 29-7.

Paul Daley
Ben Saunders
Lorenz Larkin
Notable losses:
Rory MacDonald
Ben Askren
Matt Brown

MacDonald's pro record: 25-16

Notable wins:
Chris Leben. That's it.

Notable losses:
everyone.

Douglas Lima: won the Bellator WW championship, defended it.
Jason MacDonald: got injured trying to defend a takedown.

5 of Lima's 7 real life losses are by decision, 1 by sub and 1 by tko.
MacDonald retired from the UFC with a 6-8 record and zero dignity.

Great. This isn't real life.

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

Lol, I was talking about here too though... a five point tweak ain't shit either when Douglas received major upgrades a while ago and shredded Robbie Lawler

[The Rocketmen]

It isn't?!

Oh, ok, well in fake life here, Jason MacDonald is 27 and 44.
That means he has a win % of 38%

So, 62% of the time, Jason MacDonald will die in a ManMMA octagon.

Lima has a winning record and in his last five fights he is like 4-1 with wins over Bisping, Lawler, Rockhold, and JMac... only loss was against Rich Franklin where he got injured.

It should be a difference if the system isn't broken or favoring one fighter over another. JMac is capped too and neither are letter ranked... Should be pretty even.

I go by damage/health meters. Based on health, regardless of stats, Lima did way more damage than MacDonald, and, based on health meters, he dominated him, having dished out way more damage than he recieved.

That is all my write-ups refer to, unless otherwise noted. Observations based on visible meters, not on stats or written material from the program. I figure you guys can read that yourselves. You cannot see the meters, and by meters, shreddage.

That is all.

It would appear that Lima was upgraded considerably better.
