pW: great points. I actually dont think Mir deserved to win against Brock…I think Mir was another hammerfist or two from being dead and Mazzagatti bailed him out with a Terrible call….I think brock got cheated out of that fight and Im not even much of a fan of Brocks

A former UFC Champion and a class act like Mir is going to get a few more seconds more than normal people fighting in the UFC. The do the same for most big name guys who they know are experienced and know if they should be giving up or if they can pull something off. Its obvios that it was not the wrong decision as the end result was Lesnar tapping out and Mir not sleeping. Although yes Lesnar probably could have killed Mir there but still the same probably could have been said for when Mir fought Sylvia he may have been killed but he submits people so you have to think he’ll pull it off and give him the extra time as long as he is still working from the ground

Yeah, but that’s not my point. The reason Brock was robbed is because they STOPPED THE FIGHT, took away points from Brock, then restarted it allowing Mir to regain his composure and catch him in a submission!

The fight should not have been stopped, and Brock would have pounded Mir into the mat! Mazzagatti copmpletly bailed Mir out of that fight and that is BS…I dont care if you are a former champion or a new fighter, you dont bail someone out of a fight that just sucks!

Worste Refereeing of the year took place in that fight, and there has been a lot of bad ones this year, but that was by far the worste!

JOHN. totally agree. mazagatti is usually one of the better refs, but he blew this one and even worse has never atoned for it. to my knowledge he has never admitted that he made a mistake in this fight and has always defended his stop in the action and point deduction. if a ref would just once say ” i blew it on this call” he would get alot more respect from the fans imo.

Absolutely! He stands by that call, and thats what makes it even worse. Mistakes happen and being a referee isnt easy, but like u said, man up to it, and I would respect you a lot more and all would be forgiven.

I dont even really like Brock, I root for him because the division needs ANIMALS, but I dont root for him, butr I dont feel that anyone who put blood sweat and tears in the Octagon shoudl get ripped off like that…what a disgrace.

Thats why the Nog/Mir match up is just a sham! Mir doesnt deserve it! Then again if we wait till someone actually deserves to fight Nogueira, that title wont be defended for years, so bring it Mir!

No way that mir’s “wu shu” defeats Nogeira’s families “Wu Shu”………Reference to FEARLESS, damn that movie gets me hype! I love that stuff!

I agree. That point deduction was just strange. It almost looked like Mazagatti was going to stop the fight, but saw that Mir was still defending himself, and had to bail himself out for stopping the fight by taking away a point from Lesnar. I am not saying that is what happened, but I do remember thinking it when I watched that fight.

The bad thing for Heath is Lesnar’s wrestling skills are incomparable to O’Brien. Lesnar is a very strong and explosive collegiate wrestler. We will see Herring get blanketed like he did in the O’Brien fight but this time he will take bombs which will be no good for him. He needs to keep it standing, that is the only chance he has.

u r right. stand up is Heath’s only chance. I doubt he will be able to stop the takedown, but once Brock takes him down, he will have to control Heath, and Heath is tricky cause he is always rolling his way out of bad positions and then scrambling to better positions. Brock NEEDS to control him, if he does that he will get the win!

Just ask Nogueira about Heath’s stand up.
