Media Chris Weidman's finish (technical decision win) GIFS

Reviewed the NJ commission rules (ya know, since NJ always wants to be special with it's rules and doesn't accept the unified rules) and there's language there for 3 consecutive fouls to be eligible for DQ regardless of intention

I went off of damage in the first and Hendricks got back up after the first GSP attempt, landed some nasty elbows in the 2nd exchange on GSP against the cage. Had GSP busted a bit and even got the better in the exchanges towards the end of round 1, GSP had a few 1-2's that were close but Hendricks dodged them well IMO. I had Hendricks 10-9 in the first not by a mile but clearly he was up. Most of the people around me at the time during that fight were even surprised that Hendricks was able to land with semi wobbling shots on GSP. We almost were quiet thinking GSP could have a real challenge on his hands. Your absolutely right on the 3/5 and 2/4 split though. Yeah not as a big a robbery and maybe a little champion bias but yeah I love GSP and thought he lost that fight although not egregiously. I dont recall the Davis vs Machida much but my memory is not up on that fight I will have to check it back again. Never liked Phil Davis style he was a boring wrestlefcker

**was pretty trashed when I wrote the initial post now sober I reckon there have been alot worse robberies lol**

Damage wasn't a special criteria at that point. Hendricks wins in today's scoring, but at the time, GSP was the rightful winner.

Hendricks was being controlled when he landed most of his offence, in a time when control was more than enough to win fights.
The double leg and attempted guillotine are equal to a knockdown at that time, people just forget because it ahppened early. Put that same sequence in the last 10 seconds and it's not even controversial.

People also forget that GSP was touching him up at range and landed a headkick that round also. You didn't have to drop people then, just land good scoring shots or takedowns.
Elbows from defending takedowns didn't score highly. People were just surprised because GSP never struggled with takedowns before then.

GSP won the first in a close round. Arguing damage for Hendricks without it being a criteria is wrong and there was nothing significant anyway.

It's something like: Disqualification occurs after any combination of three or the fouls listed in (a) above or after a referee determines that a foul was intentional and flagrant.

Interestingly enough, NJ also states in the case of a technical decision, incomplete rounds shouldn't be scored, but point deductions can still occur. So even though Chris fouled him in round 3, the ref can take a point away, which will go towards the scoring of the first 2 rounds.

All night was atrocious. To the point I was happy I didn't watch it live. I didn't know the results pre watching, but I would have lost my shit watching that live.

I gave up gambling on MMA. You have more chances just betting on greyhounds or horses and picking the biggest roughie.

MMA you will have a fighter clearly win as an underdog, the judges will score it the other way and the ref will call a KO a submission, with the commission letting it stand.

I am at the point I actually want to do the referees course and ref local MMA, but I work/train every weekend.
I did read the learning materiel for a judging course. The judging criteria is pretty clear. I don't understand how they keep screwing it. The main reason seems to be using boxing criteria in MMA without understanding grappling.
 
Weidman looked great in the first. In the second he poked him pretty badly. Second was a much closer round for Silva. Third round Chris poked him again as Bruno hit him with a good punch. Ref declared both fighters poked each other... then later in the round Weidman landed that 1-2 poke with the check hook and Bruno went down face first

It's weird Bruno went down like Chris said (but I do think the pokes made him go down) but it also seemed like a quick "stoppage"? I blame Copeland a lot, he was pretty shitty at reffing this fight. Here are things I agree on:

- Weidman looked better than ever. Showed no fear in his legs
- Weidman won the first two rounds. He could've won all three rounds without the eyepokes
- Eyepokes may be a method of victory for Chris whether he needs them or not. He fought with his hands open quite a bit. Jon Jonesesque. He's been in so much shit over the last years but that may not be an excuse
- Copeland sucked. Didn't do much of anything to discourage Chris
- Again Chris looked great and will clearly fight again. He should rematch Bruno to extinguish this shit
- Nate Landwehr is the true gangster tonight

The worst part is the ref tried to cover for Chris by claiming Bruno also eyepoked him when he clearly didn’t. The ref needs to be investigated and the win needs to be overturned. Completely illegitimate win.

I don't know how refs are supposed to treat the thumb on an otherwise closed fist, but I think it was the thumb. That could be considered a poke or a punch, but Chris acting like that justifies his bullshit or the ref equating that to Chris's constant fingerjabs is utter horse crap

Ok, fair enough. You have a better memory than me of that fight. I dont usually rewatch fights its all off fuzzy memory
 
Been watching almost every single event from 2014 till now, and from what I remember, that fight result is the most shameful episode that has happened.

I recall referees blunders, controversial judges with horrible scores, fighters cheating and ref doesn't doing anything about. But none of that were as embarrassing as this Chris Eyegougeman one. The guy wins by literally cheating, making a move that could blind the opponent.

Am I missing something? What event do you guys remember that was more embarrassing than this fight result?
 
Ouch. Looked like a double eyeball tap before both punches landed
 
Dont care what half you dopes say about him 'looking better than ever' Weidman is ridiculously past his prime and most of you know it.

His reaction time is very poor now and he obviously has no chin
 
Great, Weidman vs Paulho Costa is the fight to make
