The hat makes the understandable face look even more ridiculous. It's like JT's ear but all over.

https://www.mmafanhouse.com is officially a link to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sports/ and there is no MMA content. What the poo poo was the point of that.

Herbertson's been talking back and forth with one of the HDNet guys on twitter, I'm hoping he lands there.

I have no doubt that mainstream media will produce at least a couple gems in the form of opinion pieces by people who have now seen a total of 1 minute 4 seconds of MMA. I really can't wait until we find the best one.

there will hopefully be a public push for more padding on the gloves so the fights will last longer and so fighters can't do anything gay like grab each other on the ground

I hope they make the rules so you have to wear 12 oz boxing gloves and speedos and it's against the rules to win a fight if dana white wants to use the other guy to make Mexicans like MMA.

There weren't egregious dick kicks, or major fouls(no real journalist watches the undercard, right?). The ref stoppage was right on the money. The worst that mainstream journos can do is point out that the whole affair took less than 90 seconds with 60 minutes of talking heads to fill the rest of the time.

I really can't wait until we find the best one. 1. fights end in one minute, so much for going the distance 2. fights that don't end in one minute go between 5 to 25 minutes 3. floyd 'money' mayweather could beat the ultimate fighting championship in two minutes 4. who the gently caress are these other guys, if they were any good they would be on tv 5. main event ended in one minute four seconds when the show was scheduled for an hour, the fight should have gone at least 55 minutes Click here to share this bleacherreport.com article!

This is well I suppose it's journalism of the sort relating to MMA. http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...wFSN_story.html There are so many incorrect points and actually seems like a flat out refusal to research his points. I mean jesus christ boxing hasn't used 15 rounds since the IBF in 1988.

The funny thing is that MMA (sorry, "Ultimate Fighting") isn't even that dangerous. gently caress, he even quotes Dana saying that and then says that it's "brutal". I'd say more but I'm just awed at how retarded this is.

That article started off well enough. It looked like he was condemning sports culture that forces athlete's to destroy their bodies just to please fans. Then there was the bullshit. I watched that fight, and saying Alvarez "gave up" is stupid. I'm just going to pretend the article finished intelligently.

MikeChiappetta Mike Chiappetta MMA Sorry, I heard that wrong. It was Hendo who didnt want to go out for Rd 4, not Shogun. Trying to work & listen is tricky. Apologies! #UFC139 danhendo Dan Henderson That's bullshit, Mike. Mike Chippetty, you have a big right headed your way. In a better world Dan Henderson could just go around knocking out all MMA journalists.

That doesn't even make any sense - Hendo nearly finished Shogun in the 3rd, why would he not want to come out for the 4th?

Because for journalists, every fight has to fit a retarded narrative. Anderson was just toying with Chael, Fedor could have finished Brett Rogers whenever he felt like and GSP didn't break Hardy's arm out of niceness.
