UFC on FX 2, March 3rd

[Svino]

So what Bookmaker chooses to do has some bearing on the contest?

Well. I'm trying to score the fights "as sportsbooks score them". And I've been using BookMaker for the lines...

(edit: I think there was a NC earlier that I let stand because the books paid out for one side.)

[SPX]

Well the scores have been tallied. But if the fight is a draw it's a draw.

[Svino]

I hope BM doesn't try to reverse my bets; that would really suck. I bet a combination of Johnson, Johnson-by-decision, and McCall-by-decision.

Dammit. They reversed my live DJ bets this morning.

[Vandelay]

5d refunded their bets too. whew.

[SPX]

This shit's the clusterfuckiest clusterfuck in all of clusterfuckdom.

[Luke]

Refunding was the wrong decision. Can't believe they did it .

And what kind of circus can't even read a decision correctly?

[SPX]

So they're having a rematch.

I bet we don't get McCall at +275 the second time around.

And even if they didn't, why wasn't D'Amato banging on the cage door screaming, "That's not how I scored it, you fuckers!"

It should have been cleared up then and there.

Apparently it wasn't D'Amato's score that was written incorrectly either. It seems two judges both scored it a draw and those scores weren't recorded properly. I guess the commission over there doesn't let the judges write their own shit down, they have to tell someone sent by the Commission to handle this shit what they scored a round and for whom, and that guy apparently didn't record the scores as the judges had intended.

You need to watch the post event press conference because that is not what happened.

Maybe he isn't able to add either lol

Yeah. Seconded. I don't get it. They should have a system in place for situations just such as this. In fact, the final scores should be double-checked by the judges before the announcement is made.

From the press conference. . .

Reporter: Will Australia see big cards again?

Dana: Was this not a big card? Are we doing this shit again?

Reporter: No no no no. . . Don't get me wrong. I loved every fight. But these aren't the hugest names in the UFC. That's all.

Dana: . . . This card was awesome. I mean, the thing that I always say when people start talking crazy shit about fights is that we've been doing this for 11 years. And when you take all the shows we've put on for 11 years you can count on one hand how many shows have sucked. In 11 years. On one hand. And number one would be UFC 34 . . . or 33 . . . whichever one we did in Vegas that time that was our very first pay-per-view. That was the shittiest card of all time from top to bottom. I almost killed myself after that card. . . I mean, I don't know what you guys want, if you want heads to fly off into the seventh row. I don't know what else we have to do for you guys to understand that we're bringing big good cards here. Start blowing guys up? I don't know. . .

BOL.
