Tegis Posted September 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think I've just watched the worst ref ever, and it isn't even Cecil Peoples. It was at a Titan event the other week. The gif doesn't do it justice as its not even the ref waiving it of, it was the bell to end the round. What an absolute word removed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thats appalling - and also my biggest issue with MMA. The refs are often too late to intervene resulting in fighters totally unable to defend themselves getting lamped. The bloke cleary didn't even want to hit him again........

Nigel Posted September 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2013 Surely he got sacked after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 That gif really pisses me off. Not sure if the female judge for the Mayweather fight or the ref above pisses me off more. Any update on anderson silva? When he is fighting next etc?? I only watch ufc when he is fighting. Although I love seeing bisping getting ko'd.

hogso Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm currently watching Bellator - for those who didn't already know, it's airing on Viva (a free to view channel in the UK). I spotted it last Friday, although it was too late to record it, so set last night's to record, and I've got it on now. What's the deal? Do they do weekly shows? I've only ever seen single fights and highlights online before. This just over 2 hour show is the opening round of a featherweight tournament - not many fighters I knew, but a real entertaining card. Unsurprisingly, the 2 fighters I was most familiar with, Matyushenko and Houston Alexander, put on the worst fight on the card. I'll definitely keep up to date with it, although I'm still not sure of the format. Seems as though they put on tournaments at various weights every week, until eventually the winner gets a title shot? They are having their first PPV in November, headlined by Rampage v Tito, dunno if that'll be on Viva, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted September 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2013 Bellator is the second biggest promotion right now and they put on some pretty good shows. They do weekly shows in sprints and they do almost everything in tournament format. They do away with the elbows on the ground in the tournament until the title-fight. A few gems in there, particulary Pat Curran at featherweight, Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvares at lightweight. Askren is boring as **** but probably the best wrestler in MMA.

Rainer Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 IMO Gustafsson got robbed. I scored the fight 3 rounds to 2 to Gus. No way was it 49-46 to Jones as one judge scored it.. Gus is a warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted September 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2013 FUUUUUCK!!!!! 123 to Gus with the second being the one to swing it either way. Shoot the **** in the nuts with 49-46 in favour of jones. Gaaah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It was VERY close. Has to be a rematch lined up, Gus got some serious defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted September 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2013 Mike Ricci and Yushin Okami both dropped from the UFC. Thought Ricci showed a lot of promise. Looks like he paid for the stinker against Jury last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted October 11, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2013 Oh, and Palhares got cut for, again, not letting a leglock go in time. Masterful submission artist but clearly a twit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 My reaction to the KO was quite similar And yeah, that leg lock was held in way too long. Pierce was hurting, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
