In a single event we had: - two fights ending in rare technical decisions (both Alan Belcher and Gian Villante were severely poked in the eye which forced referees to stop the fight and collect judges scorecards) - two fights with one of fighters injuring his finger (Yancy Medeiros injured his thumb and Jon Jones injured his big toe) - Bruce Buffer screwing BIG TIME during the post-fight announcement: accidentally mistaking Pat Healy for Jim Miller (completely fair in hindsight, as later it was revealed Healy failed his drug test and the result was changed to NC) - the introduction of The Demonic Voice (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pUoxrG6pSY ) - Cody McKenzie defeating Leonard Garcia (which finally forced UFC brass to cut Garcia from the promotion) - one fight scrapped after the weigh-ins (which was unheard of at the time) - one of the least deserving, compelling or promising title shots ever leading to a one-sided beatdown
Yep, it was crazy. Imagine if Sonnen survived the first round and they stopped the fight because of Jon's toe, giving Sonnen a TKO victory for the title.
Yup totally, and I watched a few fights from the airport before getting home cuz I was just back from Rivera Maya which made it even more weird. Didnt Caraway score a huge come from behind sub in that fight?
a fight being scraped after the weigh-ins isnt that crazy considering Kevin Randleman knocked himself out right before a fight
Just for your info,.. most HQ cameras for production do not record audio. I am betting this is someone near the announcing mics, or boom operator.
haha didn't recall much of that. But if all that happened, then it HAS to be the fucking weirdest UFC event ever.
