Sigh, Sandy is a well known UFC hater, so its not surprised that he would get his panties in a twist over nothing.

Whatever, it was clear that they had never seen the guy fight before. Its also their job to hype fights no matter what. But, just because they dont know the guy doesnt mean that he sucks. Sometimes guys like Soko, Houston Alexander, and Boetsch come out of nowhere and beat up people everybody expected them to lose to. And they didnt hype this Yundt guy very much - they mostly just expressed appreciation that he came and fought on 3 days notice.
As to "no chance" - yeah, thats what people said about Alexander v Jardine and Sokou v Little Nogs. This is MMA, and people come out of nowhere and upset people. Dont give me this no chance bullshit.

This isnt true. If you are going to get upset, at least get upset about something that actually happened. As to mentioning his gym - the UFC isnt going to give free advertising for the guy when they are in this dispute.

You need to consider the fact that it was a different ref, and refs call things differently. There were at least two clear, heavy hits to the back of the head. There is also no rule that says a fighter has to get a warning. That ref usually gives quick point deductions too, so its not like there was a (very illegal) conspiracy going on here as you allege.
I'm not entirely thrilled about the point deduction, but I'm not going to allege a UFC conspiracy because of it because thats stupid. Refs make calls I dont agree with all the time in lots of sports, but I dont think that the NFL is out to get people every time a holding call is made.

Once again, get upset about things that actually happened to people.
Yes, we know you hate the UFC. Great. But stop posting about it unless you have a good reason in the future. Half your reasons here didnt even happen in reality, and the other half were silly objections ("Rogan should bash fighters even though hes never seen them fight and people come out of nowhere in MMA all the time" and "The UFC should give free advertising to Randy's gym even though he shafted them in a contract"). Thanks.
