You morons obviously don’t understand how dangerous a choke hold is.

Dana only used this incident as a good excuse to release him of his contract because Babalu sucks!!! His skill has deteriated for awhile now. Dana doesn’t care if fighters get crazy in the octagon, many other fighters have done similar things in the cage. Either good riddance, renato…has lost it.

Sutherland.. i’m no noobie to fighting.. babalu is not one of the best at 205 and who knows chuck might get the belt and same with Tito.. It was unsportsmanlike conduct that should not be tolerated.. he will never be a champion anyways if he was one of the best at 205 then he would be.. so whose the noobie now? think before you say stupid things like that. He looked the ref in the eyes and still didn’t let go, he nodded his head as he was choking him and still didn’t let go.. he was a good fighter don’t get me wrong but none of his fights were that well fought anyways. And honestly Frank Shamrock is a little to old now hes no Randy Couture..

Babalu shouldn’t be permanently banned from UFC. He is a fantastic fighter. I find the comments about him never getting the belt irritating for the fact that 80% of the other fighters will never get the belt either (Chuck will never again, Tito, Bisping, Evans, etc). Should we bother with these fighters? I don’t look for champions in the UFC, I look for great fights. Babalu may have clamped the choke for an extra four seconds, but Tito has done far more unsportsman-like things. Babalu is truly one of the best at 205, and only a newbie would deny that. Chuck didn’t make him famous. Beating Horn, Shogun, and going full time with Emilianenko to decision made him famous. Dana White needs to be relieved of his power trip and bring back Babalu. If White decides to stop being a prick, we may even get to see Frank Shamrock who is (without question) the best fighter.

UFC needs to put its foot down on this issue and ban Babalu. With MMA’s growth in popularity, it is also coming under increased scrutiny for safety concerns and brutality. If a fighter does not obey the ref at any time during the fight, it creates a tremendous safety issue.

He should be completely banned because that conduct is just not acceptable. After the fight he even said he did it to teach him a lesson. Thats not something you should say after being booed out of the octagon. He can go fight somewhere else the UFC doesn’t need him anyway. And the reason they kept Mike Tyson around is because he actually did something for the sport and he could hold a title and bring more fans to boxing. Babalu hasn’t done anything for the UFC.
