UFC Fight Night 62 (3/21): Maia vs. LaFlare

[REDDzone]

Disgraceful from Maia in the 5th. La Flare wins if it goes 6, IMO.

If there were more rounds maybe Laflare wins, if there weren't rounds at all then Maia doesn't get pulled off Laflare 5 different times (literally) and probably finishes.

[Jasen777]

Sure. I'm probably just mostly upset that a win by La Flare there or Maia getting four less fantasy points, and I'd won about $1300 instead of $250.

Maia probably could have finished him if he went for ground and pound from the mount, though it did look like he was really close with that one choke.

Not to start THIS conversation in another thread - but after seeing how rapidly Koscheck's career deteriorated after having GSP break his orbital and pound on his face all night long - it does make me a little nervous being a fan of Pettis. Man, unforgiving sport.

I think the rapid deterioration had more to do with being old and having to fight Hendricks->Lawler->Woodley.

Yea could be but he never looked the same tbh. He even looked terrible against Hughes.

One of the worst stoppages in history.

Not one of the worst stoppage, but "The Worst Stoppage" that i have ever witnessed in all of my years watching MMA. Mr. Herdy should never be allowed to ref again, after his two big blunders last night, the stoppage being the worst ever i seen in MMA. There is no justification for this. Glad Dana paid the guy his win bonus. Absolutely disgraceful is all i have to say.

[GetBuLLish]

There's bad stoppages. And there's 'what the hell just happened' stoppages.

This stoppage was worse than either of those two. Can you imagine that happening in the main event of a PPV?

[lilfishi22]

Is it a rule where if the ref touches one of the fighters it means the fight is off? I'm asking because assuming the ref made a mistake and recognised it, could he have let them fight on?

Wow! Brazilian commission: Leandro Silva vs. Drew Dober overturned, ruled a no-contest

[REDDzone]

Its funny that the Brazilian Commission is like a year old and just performed a more logical/progressive task than the NSAC has ever accomplished.

Because it's not bogged down in red tape and out of date processes.

Its not just that, because other commissions aren't as bad. It used to be stubbornness when it was Kizer, now it mostly seems like incompetence. Seriously, the NSAC at this stage is just ridiculous, like three stooges/michael scott level ridiculous. And if you look at the rate they catch users and the rate other commissions catch user., and their recent penchant of not revealing failed prefight drug tests until after fights ...there is a great chance of corruption as well.

Drew Dober:

“Once we were back in the locker room, I was told that Dana White wanted to see me,” Dober said. “The first thing he said was that he couldn’t believe that I would tap that quick to a guillotine and that I shouldn’t be a UFC fighter because of it. And then he smiled and said, ‘Just kidding.’ Then we laughed and he said that I would get paid the win bonus and he thought it was complete BS and would try his best to get it overturned into a no-contest.”

Props to Dana for giving the guy his win bonus.
