I think that was a good stoppage. Henderson was out and didn't really recover until Hafael stopped throwing at him. Had they let it continue it would have just been more of the same.

 

[parrotbeak]

Double crossed

 

[Lazyslob]

lol at people saying it was an early stoppage. did you not see bendo get his ass layed out?

 

[Agnt]

Henderson got REKT

 

[agrajag]

BUENO

 

[iddqd]

I thought the stoppage was ok. Maybe a BIT on the early side but nothing crazy.
I'm sure thought that the poet Benson will blame it for his loss.

 

[BigJonsson]

I trust Big John, he won't let a fighter take unnecessary shots like Mazagatti or Miragliotta

 

[agrajag]

He should've let RDA get a few more licks in, just to be sure. But fair stoppage imo, Benson wasn't going to defend himself.

 

[Heel]

It was early in that I would have liked to have seen Benson sent to a brief conversation with Helio above. It is what it is.

Dos Anjos > Angel wings

I thought it was clear Hendo was out on the replay, his eyes were focused off in the distance after Anjos was already up and walking away.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

That stoppage was a bit too quick.

No it was not, Dos Anjos was fresh as a lettuce, he would've wrecked Bendo... or maybe he did, would've liked to see Bendo getting man handled.

Exactly.

Damn, that was like the best thing to happen in UFC in 2014. Dos Master went after jesus freak instead of let him do his boring ass garbage for 5 rounds. Respect to him.

Welcome to gate keeper status Bendo, you shall be a masterful one.

 

[Agnt]

Someone get me a god damn gif of the Mein/Pyle fight

 

[BadAss2961]

Was it probable that Dos Anjos would've finished it from there? Yeah. But Henderson wasn't given a chance to recover, at all. He was still aware enough to defend himself as Big John was going in for the stoppage.

It was too quick.

Nah, he'd have to lose a few more to be a gatekeeper

well there you all go

 

[Overnow]

The problem with people calling "early stoppage" on fights like this is that the way they are thinking the winning fighter was just going to let the losing fighter, who is not defending, get back up. In tonight's example Bendo started to get up the second Big John was over him, which also prevents RDA from continuing to punch him. People call "early stoppage" cause he starts to get up, but the only reason he had the opportunity to do so is because Big John cut in to give him the space/time. He ate a huge bomb and then had his hands down for the follow ups. The one arm kind of wound up over his head a little but it was clearly not an intentional (intelligent) decision to block.

Perhaps... i would've liked for Henderson to get beaten even worse.

lol I think this is the first time people are complaining about an early stoppage because they wanted to see the loser beaten some more.

The stoppage was early and the knee was illegal. It's over and done with now.

That was a bit of an early stoppage. Tate's got a good chin and could have kept scrapping. She seemed perfectly fine after that flurry of knees and elbows.

I wanted to hear the deep guttural sound of her medula oblongata struggling to suck air into her lungs.

 

[Gr1mLock]

lol I think this is the first time people are complaining about an early stoppage because they wanted to see the loser beaten some more.

I personally am a fan of Kimmothy Winslow's brand of 'if he dies he dies' reffing. In the replay it was an ok stoppage. Bendo wasnt going anywhere, but yea it would have been great seeing him pummeled to Odin's gates.

There's a Groupon for ufc 177...

You shut your whore mouth or i'll shut it for you!

 

[AwesomeSauce]

These early stoppages :/ I wanna see blood and death. Arm out stiff, eyes wide open, gasping for air, that's what I want to see. Who cares about fighter safety, these guys don't got any employable skills anyway, go big or go home on a stretcher.

http://mmajunkie.com/2014/08/dana-white-ends-judge-howard-hughes-night-early-at-ufc-fight-night-48

MACAU – After he was involved in a pair of controversial decisions to start the night at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 48 event, judge Howard Hughes was told to take the remainder of the night off by UFC President Dana White.

White admitted it wasn’t the best night for the officials but also shouldered the blame, as it was the UFC who appointed the night’s officials since Macau doesn’t have a regulatory body in place.

The strange part is .....

Hughes scored the Wee fight 29-28 in the Filipino fighter’s favor, the same way MMAjunkie scored the bout. However, White said he disagreed with that decision and actually elected to pay Zhikui his win bonus.

Meanwhile, Hughes actually scored the Dudieva bout in the Russian fighter’s favor, a result with which White agreed.

Wat?

haha eat shit bendo

Pre-season football was terrible. Oh well.

Yeesh. Didn't know Bisping could throw like that.

Every three years or so he can get a good finish. When he started out on Ultimate Fighter, he made waves because he tiger-kneed a guy (Ross Pointon) and split the top of his head open like a blood orange. He rolled his character to maximize heavily on Critical Damage, but he forgot to actually increase his Critical Hit chance since he spent all his other points just getting up to average in all other stats.

Bob Sapp tops bill for Pyongyang fight night

About 20 wrestlers and martial artists from around the world are expected to attend. Organizers say the event — dubbed, rather blandly, the International Pro-Wrestling Festival in Pyongyang — will be broadcast over the Internet, aired on Japanese network television and also shown on North Korean state-run TV.

It’s all the brainchild of Kanji “Antonio” Inoki, a savvy showman and charismatically eccentric Japanese politician who is one of the only members of Japan’s parliament who supports — and actively participates in — exchanges of any kind with North Korea. Inoki, who has visited North Korea nearly 30 times, was suspended by parliament for a month after making an unauthorized trip to the North last year.

lol bendo

Watching the countdown and Barao had excuses for losing. Do these Brazilian's ever lose without making an excuse and admit that the other guy was just better? I can't think of one that ever has.

Shogoon never makes excuses. His fans do that for him, myself included.

That would be admitting that Jeebus loves the other guy more, no way that will happen. They just have to pray harder for the strength to beat someone unconscious next time.

I dont think Lyoto ever makes excuses either

I hate to say that his fanbase is the primary reason I dislike Shogun and am always excited to see him lose. I've never seen such an annoying circlejerk in all of MMA. Shogun himself is awesome, great attitude, great skills... but good god it's great seeing his fans piss themselves when he loses.

Exactly how I feel about F.Emelianenko.

Glover didn't say shit and even gave props to Jones for the creativity on that shoulder thing he did.

 

[strobogo]

I wonder when Dana will full on start working fights. There have been some weird ones in the last few years, and obviously the feuds are all works. I'm pretty sure pro wrestling started getting worked for money reasons, and Dana has to think he's missed out on a lot of money when guys who he wants to win lose. So when is he going to start making shit turn out exactly the way he wants? And then 10-15 years later, someone will do 100% shoots again. Circle of life.

Shit you're right, Dana should have paid him more when he was champ.

You'll never be able to enjoy anything. Whatever cool thing comes up, there'll always be fanboys to ruin it. Also, don't ever visit reddit.

Barao was awful for the sport. Looks like smeagel or however the f*ck you spell it from Lord of the Rings. Definitely not a face of any sport...ever
