He made the first round competitive, but then he got wrecked. His opponent could have, and should have finished the fight but he was obviously holding back just enough so the ref wouldn't stop the fight, like he was playing with him or torturing him. [Reply]

If someone told me that Mike Jackson was taking money under the table to let the fight go the distance, I would believe it. [Reply]

I don't know why people think they can train for awhile and make it in the UFC. The caliber of fighter and the time it takes to get there should be obvious. I went to some super fights in San Jose this weekend. It's basically grappling without rules, 32 fights. They had one kids fight with traditional jiu-jitsu rules. 15 year old world champion in Jiu-Jitsu and a challenger. These kids coming up in California now are unbelievable. The level of talent is off the charts. In MMA the evolution has been incredible. You are not just going to train for awhile and come in and expect to win. [Reply]

I can think of 500,000 reasons why.
Cause that was Punks payday. $500,000 to go out and look like that. Nobody would turn that down. Blame Dana/the UFC for paying him that much for a freak show on the main card.
Oh and Mike Jackson only got 23k for his effort. I wouldnt have gave a shit either if that was the pay difference. [Reply]
Let the hand-wringing and the moral outrage begin. Greg Hardy KTFO his opponent early in the 1st round, and now he'll probably be signed by the UFC. [Reply]
