The fight between Scott Junk and Matt was unbelivable.
At my gym we where sparring mma for 30 minutes and still going strong.
That was terrible performance, and neither deserve to win.
My opinion is this: One of the guys from my gym that applied was tapping everyone during the tryouts put was turned away. Maybe because he is too skilled.
Now they would rather choose guys with little skill, you know why?
Cause it makes good television to see to guys brawling, opposed to boring technical fights that everyone has seen a 1000 times.
The UFC is about money, and some people would rather see no skilled brawls .
They also choose people who would create drama. Drama sells.

I would be willing to bet 500 USD that you would gas out within 5 minutes of a fight which is being televised world-wide. Fighting does not feel like sparring until you are very experienced and even experienced guys can get over-amped for their first big show.
Yeah, I thought it was one of the worst fights I’ve seen in a long time. But I watched a lot of footage of Junk in sparring, and he looked pretty good. I know that I can roll for 30 minutes strait right now. However, when I was in my first grappling tournament, after the first fight (5 minutes) I could barely use my arms. It takes a lot of competitions to get used to that. A lot of people that compete in smaller shows say the same thing happens when you go up to the UFC. That’s why they like to put them on untelevised, under card fights.
