Who else thinks Matt Hamill got robbed in the decision loss to Bisping? I definitely thought he won the decision 2 rounds to 1. Not sure what those 2 judges saw.

I don't watch UFC too much, but I saw this fight. Complete BS imo, are they trying to make Bisping into a star or something? Looks like they just gave him that win.

Here's a vid btw, if people wanna see it. http://www.mmatko.com/michael-bispin...5-fight-video/

I concur

Fights are scored by points not appearances of how much a punch hurts. One of kickboxing friends lost a fight to someone due to not punching as often. This is a game just like DDO and they have to follow the rules.

If you hit someone 20 times hard enough to make them bloody but they hit you 30 times and you never feel it - you still lose the fight because you lost to the rules. You know that if there were no rules you would be able to take someone but it's number of hits not the amount of psi behind the punches.

I couldn't agree more.

Additionally, did they really need add insult to injury and interview Hamill after the fight?

And what is wrong with Cro Cop?!?

Well, Cro Cop did get kneed downstairs a couple of times. And I know once pretty much ends my week, so a couple of hard knees would have been devastating.

Also, in an interview today he said that he broke a rib in the first round, which would explain a lot.

Either way, it was a very disappointing performance from him.

What did you think of the whole Babalu thing? After the little of what I read about the weigh-in and the trash talk he got, I kind of sided with him. I think Heath got what he deserved, not exactly the best way to go about it... But Heath was asking for it.

Nice to have a dev casually posting in the forums. A lot of the time you guys give the appearance that you are very hesitant about communicating with us. This is nice.

Ya it is, but I'm sure someone will start complaining about it eventually. Cuz he's not dishing out all the secrets and inner workings of Turbine.

Dana made a statement about that after that said something to the effect if Babalu had a submission hold on a joint (ankle, shoulder, knee, etc) instead of a choke hold and held it, there would have been serious long term damage and Heath might not have been able to ever fight again. I think Babalu tried to make a point of hurting Heath beyond the scope of the rules. When Jens and BJ fought a couple of months ago, BJ gave up on several submissions that could have ended the match in order to beat up Jens some more. If you want to punish a guy for talking smack, do it within the rules and prove you're better than him. Holding on to a choke after the ref has called it is childish and dangerous. If Babalu isn't going to respect the ref telling him to break a hold, what other orders isn't he going to respect?

Another thing to remember, Babalu was on the undercard for this PPV and wasn't even shown as a filler fight.

At any rate, Dana and the UFC is all about the money. If Babalu puts together another impressive win streak in other organizations I'm sure he'll be back. He's a name people recognize and a draw. Plus, a UFC rematch of Babalu and Heath now advertises and sells itself.

But yeah, I think he got what he deserves. But what I'm most interested in seeing is how the whole Sean Sherk steroids thing plays out. I really like Sherk and hope it's accidental or something. Him and BJ would make an awesome rematch at 155.

The only thing I don't like about Dana's remarks about that fight is there was nothing said about the Ref. I think that fight went on too long as is, Heath was bleeding like a stuck pig.. He probably would have passed out from blood loss, choke or no choke. Babalu had that match won either way.

As for Sherk, it's really hard to say. I think steroids is just everywhwere in sports as is, it won't help his case that the whole Chris Benoit thing went down in the wrestling world. There's such a spotlight on steroids use right now, alot of people just want to step away from it as much as possible.
