Sounds like 2 shows are planned for Oz next year. I have missed the past couple so will have to head over for at least one of them.

Bullshit decision, though I don't mind Lawler. Re-re-match on the cards now.

I was following it live online on the MMA site and they scored it 48-47 Hendricks. So without having seen it and despite the fact I was barracking for Big Rig you could understand how it could go 48-47 either way. However that muppet that scored to 49-46 Lawler from all reports is prone to some creative scorecards at times.

Big ups to Big Rig on the way he carried himself in controversial circumstances once again. Magnanimous in defeat. All class and deserves a re-match. I have no doubt he would be victorious in the rubber match. Plenty of talk it will be Lawler v MCDonald next though which seems a little harsh when a bloke losses a belt in split decision :shock:

SPOILER : I've noticed, in the circumstances where split decisions are made, the FIRST person called (ie, 48/47 Lawler, 48/47 Hendricks) always gets the third points and therefore wins via split.

I've made note of it some time back and this was just another in the chain.

So after Lawler was called first up I immediately knew he'd won.

49/46? Dunno what match he saw but no way did Hendricks only win one round.

Didn't see the fight, what did he do. DC made him look pretty average in the lead up

Jones has a very unlikeable personality, but he's o the way to becoming the GOAT. He has made some very good opponents look ordinary. Haven't watched the event as I am overseas; was the show average (all decisions I think I read)?

The PPV was terrible. They had a ten minute commercial midway with Conor Mcgregor, then ran out of time at the end to properly interview Jones and Cormier and got cut off.

As opposed to Cormier who did it for months in the lead in?

Fair enough. I don't mind both, so I didn't mind the hype.

BTW I scored it 48/47 myself.

I don't understand how Ronda Rousey can make the top 10 let alone top 1000 pound for pound ratings?

My feelings for Ronda Rousey have been made very clear on this site. You won't get any arguments from me. I find it somewhat vexing that anyone male who doesn't behave in a manner that puts UFC in a positive and professional spotlight is cautioned or released but this Neanderthal troglodyte sooky bitch can do and say what she wants.
