Those knees were close as poo poo, but didn't the UFC recently change the rules about them where the refs now have more leeway when a dude is balancing one hand on the mat to bait illegal knees?

The UFC doesn't set the rules. They follow the unified rules that are set by the various athletic commissions. I know a number of refs, though, like Big John don't give a drat if you have a finger down if you're just gaming the system. It would have been wonderful if JBJ had got hit by that kick from Vitor.

He's the Irish guy who just fought a boring bad fight on TUF. He'll undoubtedly be on UFC's July 19th Dublin show.

It's a feel good story until you read the next paragraph and realize it was Conor McGregor who knocked the dolphin out and beached him in the first place.

Brasseye posted:I thought the Cathal/Urbina fight was ok, for a TUF fight. I thought the whole baiting the illegal knees thing was annoying as hell. There were times on the ground when Cathal was trying to knee the shoulder and Hector would move his head into it and make a face like he had something to complain about. It looked like the knees on the ground had pretty much no power in them anyway; more of a stay busy and maintain position thing. In the grand scheme of TUF, I can't really blame the guy, but I didn't think it made for a very entertaining fight. I can't remember which fight off the top of my head, but some searching leads me to believe this is Buentello-Kongo; in that fight Buentello is doing the hand up down up down thing to ground himself as a knee was coming and Kongo eventually knees him in the head while his hands are on the mat and Herb Dean tells him something about that's what you get for trying to play the game. If you wanna complain either put your hands down and stay there or stand up. Jones-Vitor had a moment like that in the opening seconds of the fight when Jones was crawling at Vitor and Vitor kicked right above Jon's head which made him lift his hands off the mat to block. Of course he complained, but Big John just told him, "Well, you wanna play the game..."

Yeah that kind of gamesmanship is annoying whenever it happens, but I thought it was a fairly entertaining fight for the most part. Better than the stuff I've seen on the Silva vs Sonnen series so far anyway. Between a lack of focus on silly house drama (I'm probably speaking too soon on this one but nobody seems like a Junie Browning yet), the mostly good fights to get into the house and the fact that Mark Coleman is invilved I'm feeling pretty optimistic about this season.

Cathal was hittable as hell and Urbina was landing when he came forward throwing combos. Instead of trying to stand up, he tried to get a freebie win by DQ. He didn't want to be a fuckin' fighter I guess.

Yeah Frankie's freakout in the locker room was pretty justifiable, imo. Dude gave away the third round. I don't think Pendred is some kind of wrestling god where sitouts wouldn't work to get you out of that position.

Also, lol at him after the fight. "Lord, I'm sure you get glory from this loss. You know I'm not arguin' or nothin' lord, but I wanted to win though. But I know it's your plan. But I definitely lost because I practiced wrong. And I wanted to win. But go Lord!"

It was an honest to god act of God that he even got into the house, so that fight went as expected (except for the 1-hit knock-out guy trying to show off lovely wrestling).

God gave that guy a Jag? That's awesome. Fake edit: Did the strangler guy try out before? Real edit: And BJ says he doesn't know why Tim reminds him of Joe Lauzon like it's not completely obvious that both of them look like Caucasian orcs. Both seem like great guys though.
