This was a really good fight. Maynard wrestling was excellent, as expected, and Clemnti was really slick in the stand-up and the grappling. I picked Maynard, but I like both of these guys and I hate to see either lose.
I hope I never have to sit through that referee who was constantly instructing them to do something, when they WERE. It was very frustrating. It’s one thing when fans boo a grappling fight, but for the referee to behave that way is inexcusable.

I don’t understand all the hate for this fight. It wasn’t fight of the year (or the night), but I thought it was a dcent fight. Both fighters were constantly working wherever the fight went. I think its sad that Maynard would feel the need to apoplogize afterwards.
