The UFC and Mixed Martial Arts Thread

[Little Ralphy]

I don't think Dana would be able to use his own refs

It would raise some questions though, such as whether results could be trusted when the decision maker is directly answerable to the owner

When the UFC fights abroad they very often do appoint their own judges, so to speak, as they are really just using an Athletic Commissions judges in a country which doesn't have it's own. And the ones they use quite frequently are the very ones Dana has been bitching about giving the fight to GSP.

Bigg Rigg was robbed massively by the judges.

See earlier post in reply.

GSP can fight in Jan, Big Rigg is out for 6 months with a damaged knee from the fight. Damage isn't used to score because it's almost impossible to measure.

Sonnen Vs Wanderlei

This fight will be fudging awesome!

I feel incredibly sick after seeing that.. Spoilers in white text below..

Anderson Silva broke his leg kicking Weidman. He broke his Fibia & Tibia. It was a VERY powerful kick and Weidman checked it. I'll link a GIF but CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 1m

Anderson is yelling at the top of his lungs on the stretcher backstage. I've never heard anything like that. A horrible sound.

Oh my, just watched that. Good event overall and that was shocking to see in slow motion.

 

[Connor]

What was seen last night can never be unseen. My word.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Rousey Vs Tate was a work

I'm sure of it

Remember this happening to Corey Hill a few years ago.

It didn't quite sit right right me the way Weidman ran around celebrating as if he'd just delivered a KO. I like Weidman and all but it was a freak accident and an injury like that to a legendary fighter like Anderson should not be celebrated. Maybe I'm just a bitter Silva fan though!

It annoys me that everyone is saying that Rousey can only win if she gets you in the arm hold

She's never had to win without it, because she always gets it, because she's really good at applying it

Why buy milk when you have a cow at home?

 

[Seamus Colemole]

As i'm off tomorrow i might watch UFC 168, is it worth watching Mikey?

I dip in and out of UFC so haven't watched it for a while.

Two main events are good value

The women beat the holy crap out of each other. One of the best fights I've seen in ages

The arm hold hahaha.

I do agree, though. If she can do it why not?

 

[griffla]

Really getting into UFC recently but didn't enjoy last nights as much as usual.
Was probably the Silva thing.

I missed the best fight then? Damn it lol

Probably stay up for the rest of it.

Had a bit of a flashback when Josh Barnett turned up, remember him from some of the very early UFCs.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I've just realised this isn't live and recorded from last night, what a dumbass!

So i didn't miss Rousey/Tate, cracking fight and loved the handshake refusal at the end, gotta be setting up for a rematch that.
