Draevyn Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 It wasn't even under the chin at all. I mean maybe it was due to the back pressure but still, I feel like Chael could have held off until they were stood back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 How about this for a tough break: John Phillips heads over to Ireland to join up with Conor McGregor's team ahead of his UFC debut. Because he's only just joined up with them, he's currently living in a camper van in SBG's car park. About a week before the fight, he is denied an American visa because he doesn't have a fixed address, which apparently makes him a risk of staying there illegally, and so is pulled from the card.

Cymbols Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Another fun one. Diego Brandao is back tonight, fighting for EFN is Russia. Except he can't leave the country because his passport expired and he's apparently been staying at the embassy there. Oh, and he's decked out in his old UFC Reebok kit ? He just won with a pretty sweet armbar too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalaCloudy Black Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Sooo.. that featherweight title fight, eh? Holm looked rough as hell after that one. She also believes that de Randamie's punches after the bell were intentional. De Randamie, for what it's worth, says they weren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Technically, the fight stops when the referee intervenes, rather than on the buzzer, so it's more a case of slack refereeing than anything else. Appalling officiating on the card though. Eric Colon consistently gave baffling decisions, (28-28 in Poirier vs Miller, 30-27 Silva vs Brunson), and despite being friends with him, Doug Crosby was allowed to judge Nik Lentz's fight, and hey, guess what, whilst two judges scored it 30-25 to Lentz's opponent, Crosby only went 30-27.

Vince Russo Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Not many people put their best foot forward on Saturday night. Whether they were a fighter, a referee or a judge, it seemed like a lot of people were having a bad night all at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaCloudy Black Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Josh Barnett on CM Punk and UFC: Quote "Well, I think they invested all this time and effort and energy into him, then, absolutely, they should give him another fight." Barnett continued, "I don't know what kind of contract he has, but usually, it's a multi-fight deal. He was getting into some pretty deep water to begin with, but I don't think he was mistaken in that, in any sense of the word. I think that he knew what a difficult climb this was going to be. But kudos to him to step forward and do it anyways." While Barnett described Mickey Gall, Punk's opponent at UFC 203, as "a very talented fighter on the rise," 'The Warmaster' suggested that culling a more favorable opponent for Punk would be a bit much to ask of UFC. "I think people would be more interested to see a back and forth, see a match that was hotly contested, but it's really up to them. It's a lot to ask a company like the UFC to do such a thing, but it's within their power." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesnar has also been removed from the USADA drug-testing pool, meaning he is no longer officially on the UFC roster, per USADA spokesperson Ryan Madden.

Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Yeah, pretty awful refereeing in that one, not sure why he's standing there watching somebody like Lewis rain down shots on an out of it fighter. I think Hendricks is in a pretty bad position despite winning last night, just don't think he's big enough or good enough for this division right now. He can't go back down a division because the weight cut is/was destroying him and at Middleweight I can't see him being a credible threat to the top fighters. Don't see him beating any of the current top 10 and imagine he'd get mauled against guys like Rockhold etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Yeah I was moaning about Santos/Marshman being an early stoppage, but I'd take it over Lewis/Browne esqe late stoppages any day. Even if I don't like Travis Browne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 That was a bad stoppage, but I won't lie when I say that it was a ton of fun seeing Browne get his face caved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaCloudy Black Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Matt Riddle: Quote “I get this question a lot and Sometimes I’m like f**k that dude Dana White because he is an asshole, he was really cold blooded towards me. And if you think about it, the situation I’m in. One of your employees had their third child and is still doing good work but failed a drug test again, maybe he needs help? Maybe you go another route he did, called me a loser and did all that.” [...] “I’m not the biggest fan of Mr. White,” he continued. “I don’t think he has good business ethics. I don’t think he does things properly, I don’t think he treats people properly. I think that’s about it, I could sit here and badmouth him all day, but at the end of the day I just don’t think he’s a good person. Does that mean he’s not going to be successful? Probably the opposite. He’ll probably be extremely successful for the rest of his life because he’s a mean person and bad. But at the same time, that’s just how the world works sometimes.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Guy had a 5 fight win streak cut to 3-0 (2NC) and forfeited thousands of dollars in fight purses because he couldn't follow the rules.
