JMM fought a great fight tonight, and he certainly deserves to be right up there on the p4p rankings. I'm also glad he won. But I think he fought a terrible tactical fight in the first few rounds. He should have never allowed himself to get backed up against the ropes. Diaz was killing him in there. And the corner should've been more vocal about that between rounds. Luckily, JMM's counterpunching started to take their effect on Diaz, and eventually did him in. But JMM could've made it a bit easier on himself had he stayed off the ropes more. The difference between the ropes and middle of the ring were like between night and day.
