If commissions weren't fans of the sport they wouldn't allow it in the state. Ask a New Yorker about that one.

Oh, I get it. Well, I guess the UFC likes controversy and shitty judging.

Though, I would like to see proof of your statement because DW has been critical of Peoples on multiple occasions.

Its contradictory. Dana complains about the judges but he is also preferring them to the AC's!

Maybe Ratner and not Dana White is the dumbass?

dont even have to explain myself Massacre did it for me. Nobody's fault except Jones for not knowing what he can/cannot do during fights.

dana's trying to look good here. He's got tremendous influence in the MMA community. He could encourage BJMcCarthy to start a school and offer twice-annual assessments. Zuffa has the money to make an endowment to anyone interested in doing it. If they endorsed something like that and got actual talent and a quality curriculum, I'm betting the AC's would come on board.

But he doesn't, he just wants to talk, because whether the officials suck or not, he's still getting paid.

A- Dana White can not encourage BJM to do anything. That is a fact.

B- BJM already runs COMMAND that was started by himself and someone else. AC's have already strongly jumped on board. No annual assessments involved because you can not grade an AC, only its officials. Although it really looks good if your an official who passes his course as he requires a 90% on test scores to get a passing grade.

You're absolutely right; it was unfortunate, but Jones was the guy throwing illegal elbows. I don't remember how many he landed, but he kept throwing them over and over at the end of the fight. After he joined a proper camp they showed him how to legally GnP, and since then his elbows have all been legal.

The only argument against Jones' loss would be one that condones illegally striking opponents if it is at the end of the fight, which is just wrong and it puts fighter safety in jeopardy.

I honestly think the ref's aren't that bad in MMA, it's the judging, and it's always the same judges making the horrible scorecards over and over.

no it was illegal but the rule is its a dq if the illegal move is what causes the guy to not be able to continue hamil couldnt continue because he dislocated his shoulder had nothing to do with the elbow.
