Both fighters off to hospital, will not be @ post fight presser, bummer.

That was a war.

Too bad Fox didn't air that fight instead. They would have gained a lot more MMA fans then they did.


This is the first UFC card in a long time the exceeded expectations in my opinion. You got to love when Faber put on a show and Silva/Lee was pretty damn good too.

It was!! What a battle!!

Any thoughts on how the hell guys like Hendo, Couture and Hopkins(boxing) kick ass past the age of 40 while most other guys fall off a cliff around 35?

Was the score 48-47 from all three judges?
Did I hear that right?
I'm trying to calculate the score by round and can't come up with 48-47.
Someone help me out.

There had to be some 10-8 rounds, right?

10-9
10-9
10-9
9-10
9-10

48-47

Hendo-Rua
10-9
10-9
10-9
9-10
9-10
48-47

I agree with the decision, but there is no way that 5th round was a 10-9 round.

Apparently Henderson thought he won the first round 10-8 though.

Doesn't really matter.

It matters to me, because it means that the judging is inept. It's either corrupt or incompetent. They should just adopt the Japanese judging system if they can't count correctly.

A draw always takes some shine off a great fight. I'm glad they didn't score it that way.

Not always, but I see your point. Do they have to turn their scores in after each round? I'm wondering if this is how we end up with these screwed up scores. I remember this being a problem in boxing.

I agree, the unified rules are garbage

To the commission headbody only.
