UFC 129 Results: Claude Patrick Defeats Daniel Roberts

The first snoozer is out of the way; no worries, every card has 'em.

But after a competitive first two rounds, Ninja Roberts ran out of energy and Claude Patrick fell back on a more reserved approach with two rounds in the bank. He still utterly controlled the proceedings, but he didn't press an obviously vulnerable antagonist to the breaking point.

Can't really fault the Prince, though, considering he had the win in his back pocket.

Patrick was the main story here, but the Canadian crowd was almost more of an eye-opener. As Joe Rogan pointed out, I don't think there's ever been a case where an entire arena tried to coach its fighter?yet on several occasions, the Rogers Centre was calling for knees from the Prince and it was probably the right advice.

Those crazy Canucks must really love their MMA; it goes without saying they love their fighters.

Claude Patrick defeats Daniel Roberts by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).

 

Jesus, all three judges gave the second round to Ninja Roberts, what a joke.

By my count, that's four fights to one in favor of Team Canada; time for Team USA to nudge it into gear now that the bright lights are warming up.
