There's a related article linked on there about Vic Darchinyan wanting to go to the UFC aswell.

"I would like to fight in the UFC, definitely," Darchinyan said. "Prove there's more power to me that just what's in my hands. My father was a wrestling coach and I've grown up with that. I'd just have to learn a few kicks. I think three or four fights would be perfect."

Gonna need to learn a bit more than a few kicks there though champ.....
 
what a cheating fat ****er! grazed his the top of his head and dives. i reall hope we doesnt get any money like green said after!
 
Caught the "fight" on FSN just then. LOL! I feel bad for anyone who paid to watch that or go to it - I'd be demanding a refund straight from the pocket of Paul Briggs.

yep just got a text from my mate ( hes the sergent in charge of security at the fight ) and he tells me the crowd were furious at briggs throwing beer and other things at him as he left the ring :thumbsdown:
 
Just caught the end of the segment on FSN and saw the beer flying

I reckon anyone who bought the fight/ paid tickets to it was a bit of a fool

It was never gonna go more than 2 rounds, even if Briggs didn't dive. Can't wait to see the replay of the full "fight" at 10:00pm

I was upset when i purchased the Jones Jr/ Green fight and it didn't last a round

'Briggs KO'd in 30 seconds'

WA boxer Danny Green has again held onto his treasured IBO cruiserweight title after one of the most farcical nights in Australian boxing history.

His challenger Paul Briggs went down like a sack of potatoes after just 29 seconds when Green grazed the top of his head with a left jab at Challenge Stadium.

Briggs shamefully collapsed, and stayed down, much to the sheer chagrin of Green and the crowd.

34-year-old Briggs had to be helped from the ring and was quickly ushered out with a police escort as fans threw an assortment of beverages at the Gold Coast fighter.

The fans were disgusted and so was Green.

"Chill out," Green told the near-capacity stadium afterwards. "No one is as pissed off as me, believe me.

"He ain't even a canine," Green said of Briggs. "Paul Briggs (isn't) getting paid a cent.

"That's criminal what he just did.

"I apologise to you for his behalf. I can’t say anymore.

"I'm feeling very, very angry. I'm a class above the guy you saw just then.

"I'm extremely frustrated."

Green promised to make it up to his fans with another fight.

"I can't say sorry enough to you guys," he said.

"I will make it up to you on that canine's behalf.

'He ain’t getting paid.

"Thank you Perth, I’m sorry."

New Zealand heavyweight Shane Cameron then stepped into the ring to give Green a fight, but the Green Machine politely declined because of the state he was in.

So much for the fight going ahead in the first place after the NSW Combat Sports Authority refused to sanction the fight in Sydney.

The Authority had concerns about Briggs’ health because he had not fought in three years.

Green, 37, was pumped up and ready to destroy Briggs after the Queenslander weighed in over the agreed limit on Tuesday afternoon.

Briggs weighed in at 87.2kg, more than 3kg over the limit for tonight’s cruiserweight fight. Green on the other hand went into the bout weighing 83.6kg.

The bizarre win was Green’s third successful defence of his IBO cruiserweight belt after claiming the vacant title in August last year against Julio Cesar Dominguez in the United States.

He then took both Roy Jones jnr and Manny Siaca to the cleaners in comprehensive victories.

never going to buy a green fight ever again unless he fights chad dawson. What an absolute joke greens running out of opponents to come out of retirement.
