UFC 140

[SPX]

I'm pretty torn, personally.

On one hand, I LIKE exciting, dynamic fights, so I don't mind a promoter encouraging that.

On the other, isn't the important thing to win? Plus, what was the big deal about the shorts he wore? So he's going to get cut because he wore speedos? WTF?

"All competitors must fight in approved shorts, without shoes or any other sort of foot padding. Shirts, gis or long pants (including gi pants) are not allowed. Fighters must use approved light gloves (4-6 ounces) that allow fingers to grab. A mouthguard and protective cup are also required and is checked by a State Athletic Committee official before being allowed to enter the cage/ring"

Shorts, not a man thong.

If it wasn't legal, he wouldn't have been allowed to fight.

Thats why it was such a big thing. That stunt could have and may have resulted in a fine from the Athletic Commission for the UFC, thats likely why Dana said someone was getting fired for letting him go out there like that.

[SPX]

Fair enough. Seems to me though that in that case someone from the commission would've halted the bout before it began and made him change.

It's not up to the Commission to have someone there enforcing the regulations, thats for the Organizations themselves to handle I think, though I'm not sure.

The more I watch this the more I have to admit that it was stopped early . . . should've gone a few more seconds. . .

No, this was not stopped early. He's unconscious eating power shots, head bouncing off the mat with his hands at his sides. Yeah he got up quick but that's because KZ stopped hitting him. It goes a few more seconds he eats 10 more completely undefended coffin nails.

[SPX]

Well he's obviously not unconscious. You don't hold your arms up in the air if you're unconscious.

In any case, I'm happy to see KZ get the win. I would've just liked to have seen a few more punches. It's not like people regularly die in the UFC because the ref let it go to 10 punches instead of 6.

[zY|]

Was this stopped early, too?

[Ludo]

Just because his hands are up doesn't mean he's defending anything. Notice that he only blocks one punch with his hand, and after that they just kind of hang wide of his head while he's getting hit over and over.

He's unconscious. The 2nd right hand KZ lands puts his lights out.

I hate early stoppages too, but that doesn't mean a guy needs to get hit more than is necessary. Perfect stoppage imo.

Please tell me, "The image can't be displayed for the moment..." is John Matua.

And I agree -- perfectly good stoppage.

It's the double KO with ref Shonie Carter. The one guy goes out with his arms straight up in the air.

However, for your viewing pleasure.
