Good night except for the robbery I say..

[Kermit]

Where you getting that man?

Fight Metric stats. And these don't show when a fighter is hurt, which Diego was several times.

In all the other robberies that have happened, I've almost always at least had some vague grasp of how a judge could have reached the wrong conclusion. But in that Sanchez fight, I simply fail to see how a random person off the street (much less a "trained" MMA judge) could have called it the way they did. I hope Dana pops a vein over this. If not corruption, it's flat out criminally incompetent.

[shabang]

+7 units over here.. great night for me..On the diego fight, I just needed them to make it to round 3..

I nominated, now i quote it in bold-faced characters...

wat

[snapperman2]

Diego Sanchez won because he kept pressing forward, while Pearson was backing up. Therefore Sanchez showed superior aggression and octagon control.

don't defend it

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. Pearson dominated Sanchez from start to finish. Dana-lite clearly doesn't want to talk about it, but I guarantee Pearson gets the "second half of his paycheck" back. I can't say it enough, that call was utterly ridiculous.

[SarahPalin]

guys it looks different live than on tv

[Das Jax]

guys it looks different live than on tv

Uh... what? You're implying that people who watched it live saw a fight where Sanchez legitimately won?

[Jim_Gunn]

My biggest winning night ever! I was way too tentative on live betting especially in the main and co-main events, but of course, those can go either way. So I'll be happy with a great result! Also happy that I finally managed to win a few bucks on Kountermove.

had money on sanchez, but agree pearson was robbed. but as far as being the worst in ufc history. f@cking lol it wasnt that long ago that jones vs gus went down or even lyoto vs shogun 1 or even hendriks vs GSP. all were for the belt. more on the line, more to win and more of a robbery. amateurs.

[Wilbo86]

So Benson Henderson gets his first finish since coming to the UFC and takes the opportunity to lecture the audience on his work ethic. Theres a reason the guy has no fans, and its not just his penchant for decisions. Presumably he's copped a lot on social media over his past decision wins but if he had an ounce of intelligence you'd think he'd realize a rant like that wasn't going to get him more fans. Needs a media coach or PR guy to teach him a few things.

Not sure why it annoyed me so much, I made money on the guy tonight.

I think most people would define the degree of robbery as the fight with the biggest discrepancy between the general consensus/objective outcome and the subject outcome seen by then judges. What's on the line matters little in my opinion when specifically talking about how fights are judged.

Most media and fans thought GSP and Hendrik's had 2 rounds each with one controversial, so sure it was controversial, but not a robbery. Same for Jones Gus. This is why the weight of the word robbery has been diluted, gets thrown around too much.

Tonights was a robbery. When you have media outlets calling it the worst decision of 2014 etc, its a robbery. As far as being the worst in UFC history, all subjective and largely irrelevant, it was bad.

[GR33D]

alot of people are also crapping on that pearson did huge damage and split him open. diegos face splits open when he takes a brisk jog. neither of them deserve the win, i thought that fight was going to be a war and fight of the night. absolute snore fest. pearson also looks like he stole hendersons roids.

[mirinquads]

Parlay:
Anjos
Bendo
Diego/person goes to dec

Benoist -110
Diego Dec +300

Decent night - Diego was obviously gonna win the dec in his own city.

Lets be real though, there are times when the hometown fighter should lose a decision, but you can foresee a hometown decision. This wasnt one of those situations.

diego was one of my biggest plays on the night, but probably the worst.

[SarahPalin]

i agree

[Vaughany]

one of those that in theory Pearson should absolutely tool him, but woulndt be surprised if Canchez takes a split

Lol and Pearson does tool him and still loses a split.

cant make it up

not even remotely close to bones v. gus, that wasnt even a robbery to begin with nor was hendricks v. gsp...those were tightly contested fights under the scoring system...shogun v. lyoto 1, well that was def. a bogus decision but sanchez v. pearson blows that out of the water w/ ease

[gabe]

I like the under 4.5 in Bendo/Rustam scrap

also Bendo by sub and a stab at Rustam by sub at +8947329874839

respek.

bendo by sub at +450, line didn't move in the last few days that i was paying attention to it

[Beelzebubzy]

respek.

bendo by sub at +450, line didn't move in the last few days that i was paying attention to it

dude and the caraway sub prop as well.

[JIBBBY]

This last night was way worse then the Hendrix/GSP robbery in my opinion..

No way Diego Sanchez won that fight end of story.. I scored the fight 30-27 Ross Pearson myself whether I had interest in the fight or not... Completely one sided... Diego's face was a complete mess after the fight too..

exactly. this one was ABSOLUTELY-indefensible...the fact that it managed to be UNANIMOUSLY INDEFENSIBLE makes this one stand alone at the top of that rather small heap of bona fide TRUE robberies...


this is the only one of the many shitty decisions that have effected me monetarily...that clearly CLEARLY passes the "robbery" litmus-test: that you couldn't even confure up a viable best-case for a Sanchez draw...on even one card...

let alone a unanimous decision for a guy who continually went forward...into effectively--given the skill-disparity involved--a meat grinder... that's neither agrgession nor octagon control...that's just helping the meat-grinder to do it's job...

if the meat keeps feeding itself willingly into the grinder...you gotta marvel at the psychological makeup of the meat...but it's not "defeating" the grinder in any sense of the word merely because of it's "continually going forward"

[Skel]

I don't even remember Diego going forward that much. I was surprised how often he moved backward in the fight.

They even commented on how timid that he was being compared to how he usually fights.
