Barnett's 95 significant clinch strikes tonight are a new single-fight UFC record.

[J.T.]

Good wins for Hall, Mitzugaki and Horiguchi.

 

Poor Big Country.  Always evolving but rarely winning these days.  Throwing kicks and lasting five rounds, but never cracking the code to victory.

And yet the judges still scored two rounds for Nelson.

 

Also, is there any reason why Hirota/Ishihara didn't get their fourth round?  

[Jiji]

So we could see the referee and Bruce Buffer shrug their shoulders with both indifference and bewilderment.

How's Kikuno a fighter employed by the UFC.....

The officials forgot just like the last time they should have done a fourth round (DJ vs. McCall I). The UFC had their third string crew in Japan so there wasn't anyone there to remind them.

Hall's new nickname is Bitchmaster.

Wasn't the problem with Mighty Mouse vs. McCall that they someone screwed up calculating the scores and they announced DJ as the winner even though it was a draw and when they found out about the error backstage when it was too late for them to get back for a fourth round?

And Dana White sits in his million dollar vegas home to complain about it on Twitter. That's how you run a company.

Yeah, I would complain too since I don't think it's his job to remind people of actual rules and guidelines 24/7. Someone who was actually in Japan fucked up, and it was their fault.

[El Ken Erico]

But why does he need to vent about this on twitter? The ufc needs more micromanaging then. Not his micro aggression.

[Elsalvajeloco]

Short answer: Because he can and people tend to tweet on Twitter accounts

 

Long answer:

He had two tweets with a total of like 3 or 4 words. That's not even venting by regular person standards let alone Dana White standards.

 

It was a random regional tournament a few notches above a Shooto rookie tournament and both guys got UFC deals anyway. No harm, no foul.

[Jiji]

Except we'll watch those two in the UFC now. Thanks, guys.

Which leads to the question what lasts longer? A six-figure contract or a losing streak?
