I love BJJ man, I have actually trained in it. I just don't appreciate fights not living up to the spectacle. Your on the big stage, everybody wants to see some work, some action. Edgar pushed BJ hard enough, but come on he didn't push him that hard. If he did, he would have knocked him out. He played the judges after the 2nd round to the finish. He knew he had him. And BJ gave up at that point it seemed. He took no risks and it didn't pay off.

The BJJ game will usually prevail in one way or another. But if you keep taking bombs to the face and mortal kombat sweeped to the fucking mat AND your guy keeps getting to his feet after you take him down. Then at that point you switch your game plan (at least if your the best in the world) and you try something else, because you have lost two rounds decisively and your opponent hasn't dropped his guard once the entire match.

His corner could be to blame, they seemed absolutely useless. But if you watch the interview in Boston with Ariel something or other, you will see he has lost confidence and was looking for people to kiss his ass. And thats how his corner treated him instead of being like "Okay BJ, your down on points, you need to rock him and then take him down hard". They just coaxed his ego nervously and fed him to the wolves.

Don't tell me I don't appreciate the sport.

But if I had payed however many hundreds or thousands of dollars for a ticket last night, I think I would have been a little disheartened with the main event.

And you talked about bitching on decisions. Who the hell is Cecil Peoples over me? Who is he? Why does he judge all the fights. There have been PLENTY of fights that the judges were the only three people in attendance who saw it for the winner. Forrest/Bonnar Ultimate Finale?

I have the right to complain or discuss UFC if I want to fool, give it a rest.
