Ross Pearson got robbed

[TheCentaur]

Rounds 2 and 3 obviously Pearson's

Sanchez won the whiffed spinning kicks and mean faces battle

[TheCentaur]

Khabilov has talent

[Romocide]

That was a disgusting decision

[Kermit]

Rounds 2 and 3? How about rounds 1,2, and 3?

It's going to take me a few weeks to get over this decision. I was planning on giving it to the wife tonight, but I don't think that is going to happen now.

[marzwoody]

All three rounds was pearson. doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

[ShogunRua]

Rounds 1 2 and 3 obviously Pearson's

Fixed.

Worst decision in UFC history.

Round 1 is the only one I could see being given to Sanchez. Actually I thought Sanchez did win round 1, have to watch it again. 2 and 3 weren't close though. Don't have to watch again to know that

[fitguy67]

absolute bare-faced home-town robbery...

totally, and i mean TOTALLY indefensible decision...

you couldn't even make a viable case for the guy getting a draw...

so bad, even the UFC announcer Kenny Florian stopped just short of using the "R" word

[fitguy67]

Rob Pizzola robpizzola <small class="time"> 46m </small> Pearson was -1200 live betting late in the 3rd round. I thought that it was pretty clear cut... so did oddsmakers.

this tweet says it ALL... as does this

Got Diego at big + money. About time I get a controversial decision.

[BIGDAY]

FoxSports one post fight show saying Sanchez had more output?

The fuk fight they watching???

[TheCentaur]

Sanchez has to be the most delusional UFC fighter

Said he was confident he won the fight before the decision

Dude needs to go meditate in a lightning storm some more

When he threw his hands up in the air at the end of the third, I yelled into my wife in the next room(who was also watching the fights) "This idiot thinks he won"

congrats Ron on the win...Money is Money...but it wasn't the result of a controversial decision...it was the result of a robbery...a word often overused...but not tonight

how many times we on the right side and lose?.....so it's gotta be nice when the reverse happens...but those dancing men are gonna piss lotsa people off

[marzwoody]

I need to see the post fight conference on this. im just hoping dana actually watched the fight. was so annoyed i completely lost interest in henderson and the cotto fight.

[fitguy67]

i felt blessed in Patrick Cote's second last fight in Canada when he was beaten and "given" a decision...but far less blatant than this horseshit..

[Sykes]

[SplitAces]

had $250 stolen by judges.

[SarahPalin]

ya man judges stole some of my coin to

[fitguy67]

if i had a ticket on Sanchez...i'd of course be happy about the money...but sad for the sport

[Ron_Paul_2012]

ya man judges stole some of my coin to

Is that you Marz? Who is this?

[JohnGalt2341]

So... one judge had it 3 rounds to zero for Sanchez? Personally I don't think the "10 point must system" works very well for MMA. Especially not for 3 round fights. They either need a new system for scoring or at the very least they need to fire terrible judges. The guys at Sherdog do a much better job than the actual judges do on almost every occasion.

I had an almost perfect night but Sergio Martinez & Bendo Over 4.5 ruined it. I'm just happy my Diego plays cashed. I'm just very grateful. I'm not bragging. I just thought what Luca Fury always mentions in his breakdowns of Diego. Which is that judges absolutely love him. I just had a feeling Diego would some how get the win.

Looks like another admirer of Ayn Rand. Nice to meet you.

John...

please take a look at

er...that link is fukked...i repackaged it as a new thread here


where i weigh in heavily (have some eyedrops handy) on this with a surprisingly-simple paradigm shift to the current horseshit that passes for judging in MMA and boxing

and let me know what you think

[Das Jax]

This article reads like a compiled list of SBR's collective posts:


"Pearson landed more strikes than Sanchez in every single round. He scored the lone knockdown of the fight, and was credited with the only takedown. Effective aggression? All Pearson. Octagon control? Still not totally sure what that means, but unless it’s a contest to see who can bleed on more square feet of the canvas, Pearson won that too. The only areas where he didn’t completely dominate were scary facial expressions and crowd support."
Hear hear

[mirinquads]

How anyone would ever bet against Diego IN HIS HOMETOWN is baffling to me. Diego dec +300 hits. Feel a little dirty tho

[Sacrelicious]

This.

I'm not sure why I didnt take the Dec prop and bet him straight at +160...but oh well.

lol if you are talking about the graphic they put up after the fight, if you look closely it said "strikes absorbed". jay glazer was reading it incorrectly.

[SarahPalin]

wonder what danas going to say about this

[Kermit]

Well, he's appealing the decision.



Not like anything will come from it anyways.

[Vaughany]

Lol classic.


funniest shit ever tht decision...and just knew it was gonna happen

[BigSpoon]

Diego should really be 0-6 in his last 6 fights. His 3 'wins' during this time were very questionable decision wins over Kampmann, Gomi, and Pearson. The latest Pearson one being the worst obviously.

[shabang]

diego sanchez sucks...straight up...Pearson was the right bet last night..can't fix bad judging :/

[JohnGalt2341]

John...

please take a look at posts #3, 4, and 8 here

For some reason the link didn't work but I found it here Pretty solid. I especially liked post #8. I would think that what you propose would be much better than what the UFC currently has. But then again... if some of the judges are legally blind we still might get terrible decisions. It's hard to imagine that it would be worse though.
