And here I thought you were a real fight fan, SMH.
I am a fight fan and I love MMA but I also can't deny my past and my former love for pro-wrestling. Haaaa

250 down the fucking drain.
The ref fucked you over.
The judging was undoubtedly retarded - but seeing blatant 10-8 rounds not given isn't exactly something unique to this fight, we see it (not) happening constantly at the top level in the UFC; so the fact that everyone's immediately concluding corruption, or at least a home town decision is a little unfair imo. I'm not saying it isn't the case, but it's certainly not so unusual as to justify everyone jumping to those conclusions.
Yea I was kinda salty after the first round. Knew pretty much right there I was fucked - they were never going to stop the fight or give a decision to Maldonado.
Fuck, even Maldonado knew.
Hell yeah. Haaaaa. I was a pro-wrestling fan before I even knew MMA existed. UFC 100 was my very first PPV and part of the reason was Lesnar headlining it.
Shit man. I've been watching mma since I was in grade school and I'm 34 now and I was a fan of WWF before mma.
I'd root for lesnar but I can't against hunt.
It took my damn near 4 hours to like every single post(hopefully) to this point. I am never doing this shit again. @Wadtucket and @BC 206, I thank you guys for your service. You guys are the GOATs.
Thank You my brother.
Haaha that GIF slaughters me every time.
Dude, that first pick almost got me man. DAT ASS!!!!!!. The day has just begun, it might break me down.
Prime Trish Stratus was something else. BAWH GAWD!!
I would argue that the questionable thing about 10-8's doesn't tend to be there NOT being given against big names because they are so rarely given against anyone. I think its actually when they ARE given that tends to be more questionable to me as I think that has a much stronger tendancy to go to favoured fighters, Forrest/Rampage rd 2 comes to mind for example.
I understand. See I admire Hunt and like the guy but I didn't even know who he was until he lost to Sean McCorkle and the very first fight I saw him in was when he fought Kongo, that's when I recognized him from Wanderlei Silva highlights when he did The Atomic Ass Bomb. Haaa. So I don't have a huge attachment to guy, same with Fedor unfortunately. I respect all of them for being Legends though.
I didn't realise rd.2 Forrest/Rampage was a 10-8. Though iirc he dropped him with leg kicks and took Rampage down with a guillotine, I agree that in context it certainly shouldn't have been.
I'm finding it hard to think up examples if I'm honest; but certainly lately I've seen a couple of fighters get 10-8's for rounds they've controlled and not done much damage with, and others like in the Fedor fight where they've come as close as you can get to finishing and not been awarded 10-8. There's an inconsistency which sure could be in specific occasions symptomatic of corruption, but more often than not it's just incompetence and a lack of culpability.
The only reason the ref didn't stop the fight in the first round is because he probably thought Putin would have him killed if he stopped Fedor.
Maybe he didn't stop it because the fight wasn't over? Is that a possibility at all Matt or no.
