UFC 123 Review

I had round 2 for Jackson and round 3 for machida, albeit by a larger margin. I had no idea who won round 1 so had no idea what to expect of the decision.

If neither has done enough to win, i'd think 9-9 is better, but the sentiment is the same either way i guess

Anfield thanks for biting as you normally do!!!

Had i "bitten" you'd be sitting in a corner, rocking yourself and crying for your parents.

I merely informed the rest of the members about your post.

10-10 or 9-9 either suits me.

Anfield you do make me laugh mate, especially when you call a fight wrong then try calling it a bs decision!

All nonsense to 1 side, did rampage do enough to win the fight.... Probably not but then again as it's the ufc the more aggressive fighter tends to get the close rounds. Had machida done just a little more in rounds 1 an 2 he'd have definately got the decision.

personally i dont think 10-10 is a good way to score 9-9 would be better. gspfan11 i agree rampage was more aggressive so the judges may score that as trying to finish a fight. fighters like machida need to be careful with there style as if the fighter they are fighting is defensive too.

Call a fight wrong? I said Machida would beat Rampage easily and he did. Even Rampage admitted it. The fact that two judges don't know what they are looking doesn't mean anything. All non-Rampage/Shogun ballsuckers know Machida clearly won the fight.

under the stupid judging system, its arguable either way.

under common sense and the correct way to score a fight, Machida won.

Now I think this is a complete bullshit move by the UFC,they have cut Gerald Harris.

Yeah he got battered by falcao,contributed in fucking up a good fight with that awful last rd and escaped being choked out in the first with the help of a dodgy timekeeper,but come on surely he's entitled to one bad performance against a guy that could be a real force in this division before he gets his walking papers.He should of been dropped to the undercard and given a chance to redeem himself before being cut surely,after all he was on a 10 fight win streak,3 in the UFC and two of his 3 UFC fights he won KO of the night.

3 wins,2 KO of the night and 1 decision loss,cut

Dana

"These are the big-leagues, man," White said. "It's no different than Major League Baseball, no different than the NFL. You perform, or you go away."

"I'd rather have two guys in a dog fight and have a guy lose and keep him around than have a guy who's in the Ultimate Staring Competition for five minutes. Nobody wants to see that [expletive]."

What the fuck is he talking about,how many guys have gassed,put on bad performances and still kept there jobs after one loss and what baseball/NFL player helps his team win three games straight,has one bad game,then gets booted off the team.

shocking treatment from the UFC,this is a harsh cut just to make room for the WEC guys IMO.
I hope Strikeforce snap him up,a rematch with Radich would be good for them both.

that's ridiculous! Although if they can hand Leites a title shot then cut him straight after they can do anything!

Fuck me!! First you wear his badge and then you write his articles - are you turning into Anfield bro?

But you are right - it is a bullshit move. It takes 2 to tango so why does Falcao get away with it. Sure he was ahead, and didn't have to do anything, but then he should at least share responsibility for the crapness of a round.

And all I have to say about the Rampage decision is that MMA judging has to change. If Dana and the UFC really cared about advancing the legitimacy of MMA as a sport, he would get together with the other larger organisations, consult with the fighters and approach the athletic commissions with judging guidelines and criteria that better serve the sport. The 10 point must system DOES NOT WORK in MMA

I mostly blamed Harris for the third round, but this is an awful call from Dana. He's realising very good fighters after just one bad fight, and this is giving the oppurtunity for other companies to pick them up and start building a very solid foundation.

And your complete right, the NFL and Baseball analogy is fucking moronic.

The Baseball and NFL analogy is ridiculous. That whole interview is just one piece of bullshit after another.

you obviously don't have a clue what your on about,dana's a cock

Sorry,I'm coming down with a severe dose of scousatitis

I've been to see a specialist and luckily it's only a mild dose,he says I will be prone to bouts of anger,but there should be no permanet damage,he thinks it should clear up in about 26 days

I'm going to challenge you again next month and if i win, you're getting the logo for another month! haha

I put the Guida - Gomi challenge out there the other day,even though gomi will be the obvious favourite,but since it's a west vs noodle arms fight,I thought Chesty might have wanted revenge over me with that fight.

To be honest, I think Guida will beat Gomi.

which one of you wants a new av and which one wants a new name?

Haha!

I want a new Av

Mat Brown has been cut also,but in other news Palhares has just signed a new 4 fight deal with the UFC.

And has been calling out Marquardt.

I think the fight makes sense, but is a bad match-up for Nate - i see him losing this time around, Palhares won't make the same mistake twice.

You mean Nate won't get to cheat again.

I guarantee Palhares has been given a nice big payrise as well. hush money over Nate the Grease's blatant cheating.
