I'm watching on delay. The commentators are straight away going over the top to sell this product to the new UFC fan base. "Damacio Page is the Roberto Duran of MMA". atsch
This whole card was great. 29-28 was the right score, but you could even argue 30-27 for Cub. He definitely won the first two, so that card that only gave him one was just plain wrong. I'm not totally sold on Mendes. That was genuinely ****ing scary, when Faber rolled off and Mizugaki's eyes were rolled back in his head. :scaredas:
The ref was very slow to break that choke Mizugaki looked out a good 10 seconds before it and was as stiff as a board when it was broken up. Good performance by Faber also that head kick by Koch was class surprised Rivera kept himself awake after it.
Oh yeah thats right. Im sure Buffer will say it but it wont have the same effect he will just scream and sound mildly retarted. Yeah bring along Joe Martinez for Urijah Faber fights kinda like how Derek Jeter still uses the Yankees former PA guy Sheppard's voice when he comes up to bat although everyone else uses the current guy.
I was worried as hell because it was obvious he was out but im sure the ref didnt wanna pull a Yves Lavinge and **** things up and Mizugaki still be awake. Urijah rolled on top and im pretty sure Mizugaki's arms where underneath so he cant tap and the ref cant do the arm test and his face was facing the cage and the ref couldnt get to that side. Just the worst postion to get choked out because the ref has no clue what is going on. I myself could see before they rolled that Mizugaki was out he clearly wouldnt tap and you could see him go limp and white before they turned but I guess that wasnt enough for the ref. 10 secounds could have caused brain damage or death and it was pretty damn close.
Thats for sure Buffer is a bum I just get a kick out of him when im watching fights drunk because he is so damn awful and his 180 is ****ing hilarious. Also id actually add Bonnar as a 3rd man to the UFC commentary I love his passion.
Thats what I was thinking as well mate. He was clearly out and wasn't even fighting the roll he was gone. As the time went on I was seriously thinking Mizu could get seriously hurt. Especially as Faber wasn't letting up on the choke and rightly so but it was very close to a disaster I would say. Mizu was a real warrior there's a bit right before the roll you could tell he was just about to go out and he didn't tap those japanese are crazy for that stuff. The look on his face before Faber rolled him over was a bit sick as well.
Very sick he looked so white and props to Faber for not being the ******* type of fighter whos shoves off a passed out fighter with his feet he waited for the guys to help Mizugaki off him.
