What happened to the cage last night?

[kaltkalt]

At the UFC 166 post-fight media scrum, one of the first questions to Dana was "so what happened to the cage?"

Anyone know what they were talking about? Dana said he hadn't yet had a chance to ask, but seemed to know what they were talking about.

Did it collapse or something?

When Cain went for a takedown against Cigano he went for a double leg and just powered through JDS and from the force of the push the cage almost collapsed (the fence almost fell over). I saw it happen and they actually had people holding the cage up because it was so screwed.

Crazy power that cain has.

What a piece of crap cage. No wonder they got rid of SHW

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

That never would have happened in a yamma pit.

 

[HappyHaHa**]

I still say they should replace it with a brick wall

 

[Inigo Montoya]

That never would have happened in a yamma pit.

Best event ever!

They should adopt WWE rules and have the first person to escape the cage, wins.

I remember seeing Herb holding it back and thinking wtf at the time.

Interesting, I didn't notice that on tv.

That's funny. Before the fight, the announcers were saying they were going to need an extra strong cage to hold these two beasts. I was thinking they're not the biggest heavyweights, and it was a silly marketing ploy to market these guys as giants, but I guess they were right.

Why the UFC hasnt adopted this is beyond me

 

[JJ Glo]

Herb and some other guy on the outside were holding the cage.

It broke somewhere around here.

Those cage walls are cheap.

I remember when a very large black man charged through those walls way back at UFC 3.

yes they used the exact same cages from UFC 3 right through to UFC 166

 

[LiverpunchKO]

would have been a double count out if that cage segment collapsed

He went through the door

Hell In The Cell matches would bring in a shitload of PPV buys

 

[ThinkBig500]

Imagine if Lesnar/Carwin was up against the fence...

 

[Guitarmbar]

How hard is it to build a cage that won't break when the fighters run into it? The first octagon was built in 1993. You'd think they would've had this figured out by now.

 

[Azathoth]

They should put some bars at the top.
