I thought the first round could have gone either way (although it's been a bit since I've seen the fight), since although Sanchez was edging out the win on the feet Stevenson stuffed the takedown attempt with ease. I think Sanchez was just playing it safe, he found those short hooks/uppercuts were working and that Stevenson wasn't adjusting but wasn't really hurting either, so he just kept at it. Not as exciting, but it definitely works.<br/>Also I hate to bug you but check your e-mail, I sent you those times you asked for.

It's as if commentators often have someone picked to win a fight before it even starts and their commenatary sways positively in that fighter's favour. <br/><br/>I thought the Diego/Stevenson commentary was also a little off during their recent fight. The fight was way closer than the commentating made it out to be.<br/><br/>Rashad and Jardine train together so I would expect him to be biased towards his friend and teammate. It's just difficult to listen to sometimes. It's also amazing how much commentators influence the casual fans perception of a fight. Commentating if definitely a weird thing.

Rashad and Jardine train together so I would expect him to be biased towards his friend and teammate. It’s just difficult to listen to sometimes. It’s also amazing how much commentators influence the casual fans perception of a fight.

I really have to question the UFC having Rashad as the extra commentator for this fight, he was clearly very biased and one-sided in his assessment, continually glossing over Jackson's successful overpowering of Jardine. The little tirade at the end was hilarious though, that should be a great fight but I'm still going to back Jackson against Rashad.<br/>And what do you mean by "use of force"? Is that a physics course or is it related to force in self-defence? Nice play-by-play.
