The Official UFC 178: Johnson vs Cariaso Thread [Sat. Sept 27]

[The Infamous]

Is there an official rule where the fight can end if the fighter doesn't answer the bell? I know its happened before but that was where a fighter really didn't want to fight and not like this

Kennedy tweeted the rule:

NAC 467.728 If a combatant fails or refuses to resume competing when the bell sounds...the referee shall award a decision of TKO

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

What a show.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Conor McGregor, Dominick Cruz, Yoel Romero and Tim Kennedy each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC 178 event.
Kennedy and Romero earned “Fight of the Night” honors, while McGregor and Cruz each won “Performance of the Night” bonuses.

As expected, Conor is stealing this post-fight

 

[The G.O.D II]

Kennedy tweeted the rule:

NAC 467.728 If a combatant fails or refuses to resume competing when the bell sounds...the referee shall award a decision of TKO

So it was McCarthy's decision?

 

[The G.O.D II]

Yo Cariaso brought the suit out for the press conference. Why the fukk was he there anyway?

And Dana hates Kennedy. Anyone else he would have been pissed and saying how they got screwed. But Kennedy hes like

If I remember correctly, after Tim Kennedy said that shyt about fighter pay it started a big thing with the media, leading up to Dana bytch fitting about getting rid of bonuses. that Dana Dolla$ hate gonna burn slow forever

Ye, Big John is supposed to enforce the rule.

Weak if your the better fighter and deserve a win, win the third round. What did he take another 5 seconds? I don't see the big deal about it. Obviously yoel soldier of god Romero wasn't in that bad of shape he destroyed you only seconds later. Sour grapes breh.

I know it's Tim Kennedy so itz whatever but imagine that was your favorite fighter that happened to maybe your opinion would differ

Good point. Or if you had a big bet on Kennedy

Im a big Romero fan, and Kennedy's constant bytchin and complaining drives me crazy, but if you dont answer the bell for any reason the fight should be over. And it wasnt 5 seconds either it was more like 30.

 

[god=nature=we'reFUCKED]

This old dude allowed for Kennedy to have the worst luck.


It's funny how the pulverizing Tim received in the next round got completely overshadowed by seconds of shady shyt/ confusion.

It wasn't a one-off flukey shot and a early stoppage, he got dismantled in the 3rd round. And the first round was taken by Romero as well.

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

man shut the fukk up..ya fukkin lame

 

[Roman Brady]
