If it helps, I want to Mir to win the fight.

Grant by UD. Who's up for a big ol' Canadian Bandwagon ride!?! I don't trust Asians fighting on North American soil. Especially for the first time. They tend to disappoint IMO.

Kim has fought here 3 times.

What channels this on in the UK tonight? I heard it was on a free channel because Setanta went tits up. I presume it starts at 1am?

[Kiss 2 Kill]

433

[rocksta]

Mass MSN chat for the PPV is needed yes.

433.

Cheers, is it just some random defunct channel they've hired or something? I heard they were gonna be on Bravo last week.

Yes, I need some hope of being awake for it.

Something I found interesting was that our cable company here didn't have any way to order the event tonight, not listed on any ppv channels, nothing. So I called and it turns out there is a 30 minute window (15 before it starts and 15 after) that a channel will just magically appear out of no where and have it. The fact it was like that sure seems weird as hell, anyone else having to put up with this kind of shit?

I just saw what the #3 fight was and damn I never knew what kind of douche Trigg was for going on the offensive after kneeing Hughes in the nuts. Served him right when hughes RNC'd him again.

edit: Its pretty obvious what #1 is. Great fight, I don't think its the best fight in UFC history but it may have been the most significant (in terms of MMA's mainstream popularity in the US).

Personally I had Belcher winning the fight. I think he was robbed. Especially by the 30-27 judge. wtf was he watching.

Yoshihiro was very good at the end of the 3rd, But I agree, He shouldn't have been scored 30-27 like that.

I had Belcher 29-28, first round was close, but still, fuck me, the 30-27 judge wants his fucking head checked.

EDIT: Are spoiler tags really necessary? Thread's already been marked. Edited July 12, 2009 by TheRossWalker

SHOCKING decision. Launch an inquiry into whoever scored 30-27 for Akiyama.

[rocksta]

FUCK YEAH!!! TAKE YOU ARROGANT PIECE OF SHIT BISPING! YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, 30-27 was ridiculous. Even I know that and I was rooting for Akiyama and felt he had a good case for winning rounds two and three, there is no way you can say he won the first round outside of the last thirty seconds.

... and wow, I blinked and missed the finish for Bisping/Henderson because I was typing that out. Whoops.
