while I agree UFC's scoring is pretty subjective, I don't think it is necessarily more so than boxing (how many jabs does it take to cancel a cross?). I think everyone's happier when fights end with a ko or submission (well except for the dude on the rcieving end I guess), but then again most decision in the ufc are clear enought even without a precise scoring system (ie one guy was getting the smack significantly more than the other). Controversial decisions are always gonna be present in sports as long as there are judges, I don't think the ufc special in that.
CroCop vs Sanchez was but one bout, and kinda justified since Mirko was green to the ufc and had to build a minimal resume before fighting contenders...
As far as the early stoppages go, a 10 seconds countdown is simply out of question in a sport like mma...
It is true that the ufc is advertised partly as entertainment, but that doesn't detract from the quality of the fights or fighters in my opinion. Might not have the best policy of all the mma promotions out there, but it certainly has the most talented fighters overall...

HAHAHAAHHA LOOK AT THIShttp://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-071508&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

i woulda expected rampage to go at least 5 hours in evading the cops...he was the light heavyweight champ after all...

Is Forest Griffin still Light Heavyweight Champ? I'm so far behind on my viewing - I'm only now just finishing up watching The Ultimate Fighter 6.

Unfortunately he is not. He was beaten by Rashad Evans in UFC 93.

My bad, it was UFC 92 where Forrest lost to Rashad, The first and second rounds were fairly even, they stood for most of them. In the third round Rashad caught Forrest with a hook, knocked him down and hit him a few times on the ground. Ref stopped it after that and it was ruled a TKO.

haha

Lmao thats hilarious.

Lyoto Machida is the champ now. Probably will be for a along time. Jackson turned down Machida's first title defense so Shogun from pride is going to fight him.

I really WONDER how can they both punching very hard to each other while without any run-up.

I loved watching UFC, but then they stopped showing it here in the UK for free.

Did anyone see this last night?

Perfect kick =)

I like watching MMA in general (PRIDE was THE MMA organization before it fell apart), but there's very little interest of that in my country, and I can't be bothered to watch it online.

As for UFC, it's currently top notch with all the world class names coming to them. But what happens is that those old school legends get pummeled by newcomers. Think Minotauro, Silva and my countryman Cro Cop. I would place the blame on the octagon, since I guess it's not easy to adapt to it, or maybe they're just outdated.

I didn't watch Lesnar/Cain fight as of yet. What did you make of it? And who is the current most competitive fighter of MMA in your opinion? Is it still Fedor? Perhaps Overeem? Lesnar or Cain?

Look at Ken Shamrock - it isn't the octagon, it's just that they are past their prime.

I've been a UFC fan for 5 years or so, all I can say is that David "Tank" Abbott is the coolest fighter EVER! If you're a metalhead and you like to see fights you have to love this guy!

I'm not familiar with him...

A very old school fighter. He was great though.

I love MMA fighting but I hate the culture behind the UFC (just in america), you americans will know what im talking about.

Not UFC but I find this very humorous fight

Please Cormier, break Jon Jones face and knock him out for good. If you win I promise to keep this picture as desktop wallpaper for a whole month:



cuz having a sweaty dude half naked as a desktop background is asking a lot from me.

Go Cormier, GO!

I am about to watch the Ultimate Fighter finale and latest UFC, won't come here and read anything until I watch those cards.

Not a big problem for me, but Jon Jones is not an easy one to defeat. The fight of him to Gustafson were extremly tough.

Yeah, that fight between those two was very close. If I remember correctly I think I would have given it to Alexander, even though Jones had more control by taking him down, if I recall correctly.

This is what I want to see come January 3rd

When it comes to UFC, only one name pops up - Brock Lesnar.

In case anyone wondering about Georges St-Pierre, he's back with the bang.

Let's revive this thread, in case anyone interested to see the update on UFC bouts.

I mostly keep an eye on UFC cards.

Able to catch two highly rated bouts - Moreno vs Kara for Flyweight and Pena vs Nunes for Bantamweight championship.

Fight of the night hands down belongs to Nunes thwarting Pena from every corner of the octagon. Absolute bloodfest contest where Nunes didn't want to think about existence of a clock. She looked indefatigable.
