I heard that Harley Davidson is basically bankrupt but are able to ship motorcycles because they threaten businesses that if they don't take them, they won't allow them to sell Harley Davidsons

 

[Lambda Pie]

well, i'm out. no interest in watching the LW blanket do his thing. best of luck, Pettis, you'll need it.

 

[industrian]

At this rate, we're heading for Mir vs. Vera 2.

Spoiler

On Titan FC.

Mir only would have eaten more shots. Good stoppage.

Yup.

 

[alienxx45]

barnett, please don't fail your piss test

THIS.

 

[op_ivy]

Has any fighter ever taken more punishment than Mir? maybe Wanderlei?

I'm seriously concerned about Mir though. He either wins or gets KOTFO in all his fights

struve.

 

[Heel]

Let Frank Mir get a rematch to satiate everyone's desire to see him talk like Chuck.

WHAT.

Even if the ref didn't stop Barnett, he would have hit him at least 10 times.

 

[FreddieQuell]

Especially with HWs.

How many of you Bang Bros took a shot in the face from a 250lbs man before?

LOL

edit: wow that came out wrong.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You want to watch Kongo v. Barry and rethink that? MMA has never been about quick stoppages like Boxing because recovery can happen and dudes have buckled and come back many times.

So lets let guys eat meaningless shots to the head because of the 1 in a million fight that was Kongo v Barry? Mir didn't get buckled. He went limp. His arms went limp. That's what refs look for. If his arms are limp he can't use them to defend himself.

In this case, the only reason Mir "recovered" was because the ref stepped in before Barnett could give him a few more shots.


And MMA is much more about quick stoppages than boxing ever was.

 

[YaGaMi]

Would love to see Barnett rematch with Cormier!

 

[iddqd]

Yeah, Barnett vs Big Country would be nice.
Who is Country fighting next? Werdum? Werdum vs. Barnett would be pretty sweet too.

 

[Macattk15]

Please knock him out Pettis. I can't stand Benson.

 

[Washed_Out]

Mir lost to a fucking 155er. CUT HIM

Holy shit this got my dying!

 

[Jest Chillin]

"He would have only eaten more shots"

Travis Browne says Hello.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"He would have only eaten more shots"

Travis Browne says Hello.

Did Travis Browne's arms go limp? Mir was out. Give it up.

 

[YaGaMi]

Although Bendo has had close fights. He has stepped it up since WEC.

 

[slightconfuse]

Yessssss josh barnett!!

 

[juliushandle]

wonder if Jesus will allow Ben to lose the decision tonight

 

[Formless]

Kind of like the Fedor/Hendo stoppage. Could go either way, the ref just sees one guy goes limp and quickly takes action. They wake up really fast.

 

[Dysun]

Travis Browne never flopped on the canvas like a fish, stupid comparison

 

[juliushandle]

fights aren't stopped prematurely on body blows

 

[King326]

Pettis with a Pele kick tonight?

 

[alr1ght]

Gimme a break babyfat fanboys..


Way fucking early


Fuck.. Overeem thrashed Browne and they didnt stop it. Good thing!

Difference is Mir was completely out.

 

[Agnt]

GOD IS AN AWESOME GUYYYY

Be real man. Lots of dudes letting eat more shots with their hands ups than ehat Mir ate on the way down. That stop was due to the ref seeing him take a lot of hits and predicting the end but that REGULARLY gets flipped in MMA. Miller v. Healy, Reem v. Browne, Reem v. Bigfoot, off the top of my head.

I'm not down for exessive punishment at all.. but Rothwell didn't even have a chance to follow up on a guy who was conscious. It was fast.

 

[YaGaMi]

Dana mad on twitter his boy Mir got KTFO!

 

[Master Thespian]

Fedor has recovered from hard shots in his time. Frank folds up when he gets cracked.

 

[Agnt]

Considering he is only of the only UFC sponsored fighters, I'd be too lol

 

[alr1ght]

GSP transition complete

 

[olympia]

Seriously, where can I buy Barnett's shirt.

Also, prepare yourselves for a long ass 5 rounder.

 

[juliushandle]

 

[NomarTyme]

Bendo not gonna worry about his hair tonight.

 

[Agnt]

Benson just lost his toothpick. He's getting KO'd tonight. The toothpick is what won him fights

 

[YaGaMi]

Even Fedor wasn't given a chance against Hendo. Dana paid Herb Dean off in that fight!

 

[Plywood]

Benson just lost his toothpick. He's getting KO'd tonight. The toothpick is what won him fights

It was Jesus, but will Jesus forsake him tonight?

 

[saelz8]

Hair is tied.

RIP Pettis

 

[Nameless]

Both fighters leave a lot desired with their choice of entrance music.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Browne went down due to body shots but he took a lot of shots to the head afterwards... considering I was talking about "only would have been hit more" replies.. it's relevent.

 

[Master Thespian]

Dana mad on twitter his boy Mir got KTFO!

He's probably worried Joshu Bahnetto will piss hot again.

Bendo taking Showtime seriously with the cornrows.

 

[Agnt]

We got the right ref for this fight #praiseJesus

 

[MrToughPants]

Are the walk-ins done yet guys...............

 

[alienxx45]

Hair tied...shows Benson is scurred.

That stop was due to Mir going limp. That's it. Once that happens it's a wrap. The ref can't make a split second judgement call on a fighter's individual ability to recover quickly. They are there to protect the fighters from taking unnecessary punishment.

Any scenario of a guy taking punishment, taking body shots, taking a ton of strikes, is irrelevant because refs will let those go on as long as a fighter doesn't go limp the way Mir did, because going limp means you can't defend yourself.

 

[Macattk15]

I can tolerate Benson with cornrows a bit more.

 

[alr1ght]

limp=good stoppage

 

[Agnt]

THEY SAY TOUCH GLOVES

 

[Master Thespian]

Not very Christian like, Benson.

 

[Agnt]

Lol @ this one girl yelling "Lets go Benson"

 

[General Choomin]

limp=good stoppage

Henderson was huge in that fight.. Abnormally huge.

 

[Dysun]

Bendo St.Pierre bringing dat excitement
