Eversor Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 You went out like a man, trying to finish the other guy. Made me a fan of Jeff Smith fighting style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacky67 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Jeff What u felt when the referee was geting close to you on the sub atempt? Do you feel u let the sub a bit looser and u could have won without it? 5mn decision don't really looks like a loss to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBR Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 yea i was wondering if you let up on the kneebar a little also -- it looked like it then seemed like the ref said something then you went back for it -- just wondering if something was said or if you thought he tapped was very close fight but i would of gave it to you cause of going for finish and trying to end the fight -- usa judges seem to like and favor the dominate position and control though your still a winner though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko19 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Great fight! You looked really smooth with your transitions, and I thought that kneebar was it! Your opponent didn't look very good against you, just holding you down so you couldn't tap him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Don't worry Jeff you win some and lose some, just look at Pablo Garza he got beat to get into TUF 14, and is now a UFC regular so your still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toejam98 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 you did your thing dude, and you looked amazing on the ground. You showed more in that loss then 90% of the guys who won did. I think you shoulda won, you beat him standing up, and if it stayed on the ground it would've only been a matter of time till he was tapping. Unfortunatly 1 round fights don't favor a BJJ guy.

markyosullivan Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Must admit one of your transitions was really good, probably the best I seen out of all the fighters in the house. Your submissions were really good, I wouldn't be surprised if you sort of let go of that kneebar, anytime we train in leg submissions we always have to be careful incase you break the other persons leg. Oh and that's not a loss. 1 round MMA fight? That's just complete balls. You could get a wrestler going in, get an early takedown and basically Lay and Pray the whole fight and get into the house. Your striking looked better, transitions looked a lot better and subs were really good too. If you would of got into the house, I would think you would've been one of the favourites to win.

markyosullivan Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Unfortunatly 1 round fights don't favor a BJJ guy. This imo is true. BJJ look for a sub, if they dont get the sub, they're usually on their back and so don't usually win the round cause the other fighter would win through control. 3 round MMA fights gives BJJ fighters a lot more time to get a sub.

Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I've been reading a few other mma forums and the consensus is that Jeff won. I didn't see a single post that said Larsen won. I would love to hear what Dana has to say about that fight, but we all know he won't say a damn thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO because they dont want to tarnish the validity of those fights. But everyone I've asked said Jeff won. Other guy was bloody and basically subbed several times. To me thats winning the round.

Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Don't beat yourself up about it. So three suits didn't see you win one silly round. That sucks. Up to the next fight. If you belong in the UFC you'll get there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 The one round thing was terrible. I think some of those fights would have turned out different with the old way they did TUF fights, Jeff's fight included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 You were great, dude. It was so hard watching the end of the fight with the guy was just laying on you, just because I knew how it would look to the judges. I had to re-watch the fight again, sound off, and it's pretty apparent that you won the fight. What did he do? Matched you for takedowns, and blanketed you for a minute. It's so obvious how flawed judging is sometimes - short-term memory and too much value on being on top for a short period of time. All-in-all though, good showing of skill. Rip the leg off in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Great fight mate, I am sure you will get the call-up in the future. I watched it again this morning and in another unbiased opinion I think you won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
