how a judge managed to score the fight in favor of Tanner is beyond me.

Why are they still calling the heavyweight championship the "interim" hwc??
Is Couture supposed to come back?? |

CB Dolloway is a fucking homo. Can't stand his fucking attitude, his top lip or the fact he got beat by the same finish TWICE by a fighter with ZERO pro experience and then complains how he didn't tap but it was fucking clear as bright blue sky on a summers day that he did.
Evan Tanner has nothing left now. He needs to retire. Kendall is another stupid fucker though. He was calling him washed up before the fight. Good job buddy! You just admitted you beat a washed up fighter. Talk about putting yourself down. |

Same here. I didn't think Amir would beat him again but I was so fucking glad he was able to do it.....and with the same technique as well.
Also, Matthew Riddle looked really good last night. I'm interested in seeing how he progresses. |

I wonder how CB didn't think that would be considered a tap.

He tried to lie his way out of it obviously. Good job they never gave him a mic or he would embarrass himself further. Beaten by the same finish TWICE This made me soooo happy. I actually popped for Amir too. Wish him all the luck in the world. CB shouldn't have even been fighting this fight so justice was somewhat done.

Looked like he thought he was gunna get his arm broke, so insta tapped, but Amir didnt have that arm bent back at all.
I didnt watch any of this seasons Ultimate Fighter, but it seemed to me like UFC created a Forrest Griffin clone. They seem like the exact same person. Probably fixed. |

soooo pumped that amir won. cant stand cb and his cocky attitude and as rob said is ugly upper lip! in a post fight interview he did admit to tapping though, said he was more shocked in himself blah blah.
my hat goes off to tanner, he is a warrior. if this is the end for him he went out on top even in a loss, battled to the end. riddle was pretty impressive, considering his age and inexperiance he will be interesting to follow. for his next fight id throw him in with someone like cote. |

While I'm in here, Hulk Hogan thinks MMA is a work, anyone's thoughts on this? Dave Meltzer seems to think MMA is just like prowrestling as well...and I have no idea why....

Am I the only one who found the Finale event kind of boring? No 'great' fights. The main event was lackluster. I dunno, maybe I was in a bad mood when watching.

Where has Dave Meltzer said this? He write for Yahoo's MMA section. I'm pretty sure he wouldnt have a job if thats what he honestly thought. Its not a work, but that Kimbo Slice fight was a huge work.

If they go this route, I think it would be a wise move. I would want to keep some version of TUF just because its been a staple now for years in the UFC. But I also think that they cant keep doing two shows a year and keep it interesting. Not sure how a live weekly fight show would work logistically, but it would seem like a good way to get these lower level guys more exposure outside undercards of PPVs. |

Meltzer says it's shoot version of pro wrestling because it is everything a real pro wrestling match would be and they book better programs and stories and hype for shows. Hogan thinks it's a work. Hogan is an idiot.

Dont get me started on Hogan. I absolutly HATE this man. Ive met him and he is the scum of the earth and probably the most ignorant as well.

Rob, I think the guy that gives you information is one of the guys that the UFC feeds bullshit on purpose so that noone really knows whats up

To be fair, I heard the same thing from someone else too but then they booked the July 19 show out of nowhere and thinks went to shit. Also heard Franklin wants nothing to do with Dan Henderson.

Why would Franklin want to fight him? He'd get worked for 3 rounds, possibly KOd

There's some sort of announcement today too. Probably to do with the October show. If you're in Britain, Setanta around 7pm - check it.
