@failsonnen, it doesn’t take any skill to face plant and get hit until you regain enough sense to move. That’s just a natural born instinct. I guess if you are a fighter it is — any… The idea is to end the match quickly. That’s the point I was trying to make.

As for these politicians that want to fight against legalizing MMA in the states, I say piss on the idiots. The U.S. economy is in the shitter enough as it is — f****** politicians that want to stop a billion dollar company from coming to their state possibly multiple times a year should be viewed as dumb f**** and voted out of office.

There are multiple locations around the world that could routinely pack soccer stadiums to watch an MMA fight. Take the fights out of the states and watch the politicians beg for the fights to come back. The bottom line is $ and all politicians want $

@mesonto – I agree with you. Bones was a good ref. disqualification but Diaz vs. Condit was bad judging.

but for some reason I can’t help but think I just pretty much described what is already happening

@mesonto – That elbow was by no means what put Hamill. Hamill already had a broken nose and a dislocated shoulder. Ref should have stopped the fight sooner. I agree that there are btter examples out there as Mazagatti is a terrible ref; a better example would have been Anthony Johnson getting that stupid TKO via eye poke loss to Kevin Burns. That was some shitty reffing.

anybody that’s ever been in a fight knows, not only are the close ones controversial, but you have one group of people saying one thing and another saying another, but days, weeks, months and sometimes even years later….well educated fighters/fight analysts will change their opinion based on how their views of the sport have changed. Which is perfectly OK. We should all strive to grow mentally. That being said. We’ve been yelling for years that Greg Jackson products shouldn’t be able to develop a cheap ass game plan (which almost always consists of avoidance) and pull out a win. But here’s what I propose. Let’s take a little bit of power away from the commission. I’d like to see a system put in place, where at the end of the fight, much like a rap battle you might not know the winner right away. The company should work to take votes from fans for at least %20 of the decision. The company itself for the sake of its future should have %10 and no more in the decision, the rest should be a new breed of judges that come not from the athletic commission but from an independent company that is run %50 by the athletic commission and %50 by the company (UFC) that hires only well educated and experienced guys that have either fought themselves or are close enough to the sport to demonstrate a working and evolving knowledge of all areas. From that point the only active role the commission should play in live events IMO would be to ensure competent cut men and doctors are on site and oversee testing and compliance.

imagine if diaz did that same strategy how much gayer this fight would have been, so props to diaz for showin up to fight at least.. i’d rather pay to see a diaz fight any day vs a running match with condit. do you people honestly pay to watch this crap??? of course not its a f****** fight!!!! we all want to see that brutal ko or crazy sub.

I personally gave this Diaz 3 rounds and Condit 2 maybe even a DRAW. But who the hell likes these Edgar/Condit style of running around in circles?? Condit in my opinion never had any intentions of inflicting any real damage on Diaz and had more of a “Scoring” game plan in mind. I felt like the ref should’ve had flags in there to indicate the scoring shots. Lame

That GSP/Condit fight’s going to either be GSP dry humping Condit for 25 mins or Condit getting his cardio in doing laps around the ring for 25 mins. Pass

Watch the Rua vs Machida 2 fight. Now those are countable kicks!

mascash – soccer kicks aren’t really a display of skill or technique. Anyone can do a soccer kick to a downed opponent. Its kinda like easy prey/overkill but whatever. Plus its not going to help win over crooked and uptight politicians when you are trying to lobby for the sport to be legal in said state
