UFC 159: Jones vs. Sonnen

**mirinquads** · 04-27-13, 08:18 PM

Okay, that was awful, it went to the judges? What? when has that ever happened

**bjpenn85** · 04-27-13, 08:18 PM

was that a 30-27 after two rounds?

**Catchn_Picks** · 04-27-13, 08:18 PM

WTF is as majority technical decision...was that the actual score at the time of the end of the fight?

**Sacrelicious** · 04-27-13, 08:18 PM

Why the shit was that not a "no contest"... technical decision.. what the penetrate..

And dont get me wrong, I was on OSP, my bet cashed, but still, DA FAQ?!

**Catchn_Picks** · 04-27-13, 08:19 PM

was Vilante going to lose anyway?

**Inkwell77** · 04-27-13, 08:19 PM

Isn't there some protocol in this sport with these refs?

Just ridiculous.

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 04-27-13, 08:19 PM

i don't get it when a fighter can't continue because of shots to back of the head (eg. Cote/Sakara and E Silva/Prater) then there is a dq, but if you can't continue because of eye poke you go to the cards?

**Wilfred** · 04-27-13, 08:19 PM

Never seen that in MMA. Boxing but not MMA

**Grabaka** · 04-27-13, 08:19 PM

Hijos de putaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

think if you were the other side...this was totally avoidable

**Sykes** · 04-27-13, 08:20 PM

Vilante was winning in round 1. Your man had like 30secs thats it.

1 for 4 now. Fifth pick is OSP. However, this is a no play. This is my last no play of the night. Congratulations to all who had plays on McMann.

Extremely bad call by ref. Almost feel bad for the win. What happened to 5 minutes? 2 for 5 now in picks. Sixth pick for Khabilov. Also, a very tiny play on Khabilov.

**Kpn** · 04-27-13, 08:20 PM

Why do they treat moving their arms like a flight attendant as some type of etched in stone final non-reversible call, I don't see why he can't be like no I said I need a minute and he says ok take a minute stop the clock and we will resume.

**Sykes** · 04-27-13, 08:20 PM

I actually thought I hit good Grab lines for once and that happens.

**cheeese** · 04-27-13, 08:21 PM

Shouldn't the doctor be the one asking if he can see and making the decision?

**Kpn** · 04-27-13, 08:21 PM

Khabilov within 3 or decision?

It's because it made it to the 3rd round I believe.

See Cerrone vs Varner.

**Inkwell77** · 04-27-13, 08:22 PM

The judges also, lol

One has it 29-29 and the others have it 30-28 and 30-29....

All three Sherdog judges scored the fight as a draw

MD · 04-27-13, 08:23 PM

That's -not- how a technical decision works. If an injury is caused to a fighter due to an accidental foul and the fighter cannot continue, and the fouled fighter is ahead on points, they win by technical decision. If the fighter is behind on points, the fight is ruled a technical draw or a no-contest.

**NunyaBidness** · 04-27-13, 08:24 PM

5d graded Villante +3.5 as a loss. Looking forward to that argument.

MD · 04-27-13, 08:26 PM

The ref f-cked up, but not in the way you all think. That was a technical draw.

**Sykes** · 04-27-13, 08:27 PM

That was BS nothing else. The whole thing, such a dumb ref.

**Sykes** · 04-27-13, 08:27 PM

Thats a loss on live bets it should be voided but wont be.

Or NC. They were even a round a piece.

**mirinquads** · 04-27-13, 08:29 PM

Or he could just have given the guy 5 minutes.. He asks him right after the poke, "Can you see!?!??!?", truthfully answers, "No sir, not at this moment." Well okay, I guess he's permanently blind then, lets stop this shit. penetrating unbelievable. Didn't even let the doctor check him.

**shabang** · 04-27-13, 08:29 PM

lets go khabilov!

Protocol is a technical draw if the fight goes to the scorecards and the fouled fighter is behind on points. Should have been a no contest from the beginning though. The ref can call for a no contest at his discretion, regardless of the time of the fight.

**Sykes** · 04-27-13, 08:30 PM

We need to chip in and send Defacto to a presser to argue our case for things like this.

**mirinquads** · 04-27-13, 08:32 PM

Rusta having a hard time figuring him out. Hope he looks to grapple soon.

**Wilfred** · 04-27-13, 08:33 PM

Oh my god

**Sykes** · 04-27-13, 08:33 PM

Oh for god sake. What happens here?

**Catchn_Picks** · 04-27-13, 08:33 PM

This is getting unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

**Sacrelicious** · 04-27-13, 08:33 PM

Unreal.

**Beelzebubzy** · 04-27-13, 08:34 PM

**mirinquads** · 04-27-13, 08:34 PM
