It seems that 2/3 big drawing fights are ending in some weird or fanciful way of late.

It's becoming a joke and more than a coincidence.

Seems as though B-HOP was play-acting. The shoulder looked OK from what I was looking at. Regardless, it doesn't matter, it was a blatant foul and should have been a no-contest, surely?

Decision overruled?

Oh noes! The executioner fell down and couldn't get up, somebody call the wambulance.

If that was MMA that would've been the weakest takedown..

Yeah I don't really know. The way I see it the ref should have called a foul on Dawson, then when B Hop couldn't continue awarded the fight to Hopkins by DQ. Because he didn't call the foul and it was too early to go to the scorecards, yeah it should have been a NC i think, a TKO win to Dawson is ridiculous.

But yeah, Hopkins was acting for sure, good on the interviewer afterwards, he asked the tough questions and let his opinion be known.

Can't wait for Sonnen to respond. Anderson is boss!

Sonnen already said "Yeah I admit he's a good dancer". in his post match interview with Ariel Helwani.

But still... Really?! after watching that I wouldn't say that at all.

New Fox promo for Cain and JDS. It's hilariously bad.
Incidentally, this promo has been removed from Australian audiences as it would seem. I can't seem to find another copy of this exact one. Has anyone else had any luck?

Sexyama @ 170. Damn that is sexy.
Sexyama vs Shields in Japan... He's lost his last 3 fights and he's still getting incredibly tough opponents. I want to see him get a can just so he can look good in the UFC :D

His win against Belcher wasn't exactly convincing. Good fight though.

I agree, I want to see him win a fight, especially since this is in Japan and yet he still gets a super hard opponent in Shields.

Even if he loses 4 in a row, I still don't think he'll get cut. Too much sex appeal.
