Gut reaction it was just an excuse to fire him then get him back on cheaper terms after he lost 2 of his last 3, including one to jason lambert. What he did was bad and should be punished, but he didn't go Kid Yamamoto on him or anything.
i don't remember which fight it was but kid violated the rules too. (so did gomi actually)... yamamoto kept punching his opponent even after getting brutally koed. and when the ref intervened..he continued like a maniac.
This content is protected Hilarious. Everyone jumps on Babalu's ****, but you they all love the tubby little Hawaiin and can't wait for his title shot for doing what Babs did.
Big ****ing deal. You can time it if you want. Sorbal held his for about .5-1 second longer. Pulver was clearly out for about half a second, he even admitted he blacked out. Penn said, and I quote: "A lot of people have asked me if I thought I held that choke too long. My answer has always been the same, I didn't hold that choke long enough" Source: http://mmafightvideos.blogspot.com/2007/08/bj-penn-interview-at-cbs-2-studios.html They both deliberately ignored referee verbal and physical instruction to release the choke. This is all about money. BJ is a commodity and Sorbal is overpaid for what he is worth right now. If Randy Couture choked someone one out, whipped out his dick and started skull ****ing them while giving the finger to the American flag Dana would laugh and give him a bonus.
I agree with your point. BJ should have been punished by the UFC. But why do you hate the guy so much? You seem to have a clear and distinct disliking for Penn. He is one of, if not the most talented fighter in the sport, and one of the few that actually pulls off extraordinary and amazing **** inside the ring/octagon...
???I'm pretty sure BJ has made every list I've ever made of my favorite fighters. I have no dislike for him at all, I think he's a stud. I was just taking the same angle that a lot of people seem to be taking with Babalu. They are fine with this because they don't like him. If no one liked BJ, they wouldn't have just glossed over what he did to Pulver. But then again, I guess I'm talking about fairness in an organization run by Dana White :rofl
You have NO dislike for him :think :rofl :rofl :rofl Actually my bad though, I just re-read you're posts in the "BJ kicking it with Yamamoto" thread, and you do say he is one of your favorites. My Apologies sir :deal
This content is protected What do you call a 5' 8" Hawaiin guy who looks like this in most of his fights? I call Fedor a chubby bus driver but would get on my knees and blow him if he walked into the room right now.
