I'm with Herb. Bisping doesn't have a right to call a time out.

Perhaps someone better acquainted with the rules can refresh me but isn't calling a time out tantamount to DQing yourself or throwing in the towel? I swear I remember seeing this happen to someone a year ago or so. A guy called for a timeout and the fight was waved off and the other guy won.

I can't remember which fight but I do vaguely remember a fighter trying to call time and it being taken as quitting.

The referee is the sole arbiter of a contest and is the only individual authorized to stop a contest. The referee may take advice from the ringside physician and/or the Commission with respect to the decision to stop a contest.

Bet the house on Nate? My Spider sense is acting up.

 

[alr1ght]

If you're feeling it, the odds are great. Diaz is at +400.

 

[Yaari]

I gotta give Conor props. That he got into that shit with Nate, because we all know that your instantly going to aggravate all his buddies with it too.

I actually thought he would keep it respectful and try not to get physical with him. Lol.

Damn. I don't think he is gonna win ... but I might just throw $100 at that ...

 

[op_ivy]

Diaz looks a weight class or two above Conner. Crazy.

 

[-MD-]

Conor actually punched Diaz' hand.

That's a fine, what a fairy.

 

[abstract alien]

You can see it clear as day on the official UFC front page. It's like they are advertising the fact that he punched his hand. The image is him punching Diaz lol

"Fists fly", indeed.

Asking for your mouthpiece is not a verbal tap, no.

Doing so while Anderson Silva is stalking you, with his knee ready and loaded is pretty stupid, though. :lol

Bisping's mistake, as he admitted to after the fact.

Did he? He might say 'I should have defended myself', but he outright blamed Herb Dean for what happened.

“I was trying to say, ‘Herb (Dean)’ – that’s my fault. I’m too experienced to make those mistakes, and Anderson capitalized and well done for that guy.”

http://mmajunkie.com/2016/02/michael-bisping-on-crazy-third-at-ufc-fight-night-84-my-fault-for-signaling-ref-dean

Probably the most self-reflection you're going to get from a UFC fighter.

That said, you're right that Bisping also criticised Dean because he thought that moment was a lull in the fight (during which Dean should've stepped in to reinsert the mouthpiece), but I think he's wrong there. Hands don't have to fly at every moment for there to be action. Silva lining up a shot while Bisping has his back to the cage is not a lull in the fight.

 

[Levito]

Routing for Nate in this one, I think this right here is the first time I've seen Conor at a loss for words when someone said something to him.


Nate 'can't punk me' Diaz.

 

[Haunted]

Conor actually punched Diaz' hand.

That's a fine, what a fairy.

McGregor's fist too fast to see with the naked eye, people need slomo to see what happened.

:bow

Stupid behaviour from both fighters, though one stayed within the rules and the other didn't. Maybe that's the kind of escalation you need when there's so little time to properly hype up the fight.

 

[zewone]

The last minute of this interview is the funniest exchange between Conor and Nate.

Oh I realize that - I didn't mean to suggest that. I was just curious about the 'time out' rule. Believe me, if my mouthpiece fell out mid fight I'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

 

[RustyO]

I can't remember which fight but I do vaguely remember a fighter trying to call time and it being taken as quitting.

UFC187. John Makdessi called time out after Cerrone broke his jaw.

You are correct, if you ask for a time-out and refuse to fight, you can be DQ'd.

It has happened several times.

The only fighter I know of that has gotten an actual time-out in a fight is Jon Fitch vs Joslin.

 

[industrian]

UFC187. John Makdessi called time out after Cerrone broke his jaw.

That was more a verbal submission than asking for time out. Same with Cro-cop when he got his orbital smashed by JDS.

 

[Haunted]

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, there's no rule concerning fighters' ability to call for a time out or anything.

Ya that's not the vague memory I have; that was recent. My vague memories are like from 3+ years back.

"you were submitted by lames" lol

calling conor a rich kid lol

conor really ran out of steam towards the end, saying he'd gut nick like a fish, that stockton was full of snitches and canaries, and that nick was skinny fat. really tired insults.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I lost it when at the press conference Nate said "you play touchbutt with that dork in the park" or something.

Did Nate and Conor weigh in yet and if not, when is that???

 

[RustyO]

Should ahve a question mark at the end, sorry.

So they were actually asking the ref to call a time out?

They have a big press conference for upcoming fights coming up right now. Weigh ins 4PM I think.

You need to watch the Diaz/McGregor interview on CNBC.

Most awkward UFC interview I have seen.

Nate just wanted to punch someone and she's asking him his marketing strategies and investment plans.

I hope that fight is a god damn war. Conor needs to get deep in the shit or break under its weight.
I want some fight of the year material.

Ya but between my substance abuse and years of watching Bad MMA I have all kinds of vague memories. I also have vague but distinct memories of watching Joe Daddy get beheaded in a special weapons overtime round. According to wikipedia that never happened, but he did get choked by a former gay porn star.

I am definitely going to that LA show. For once we get a decent show. Two title fights. I'll take it.

http://fightnetwork.com/news/6548674:david-tank-abbott-replaces-ken-shamrock-on-ur-fight-event/

The UR Fight promotion that is running a card on Sunday March 20th has made a significant change to their lineup.

Ken Shamrock is off of the show, where he was scheduled to fight Dan Severn in a mixed martial arts bout. Shamrock received a 30-day medical suspension from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation after his TKO loss to Royce Gracie on February 19th and was not able to fight on the March 20th show.

The UR Fight promotion has come to terms with former UFC fighter David “Tank” Abbott to take the spot of Shamrock and fight Severn.

I...I want to believe

I like the timeline you're living in.
