Default Re: The Ultimate Fighter / UFC thread

Given that UFC the organization was setting up for a Liddell vs. Silva fight, I am glad that the judges gave Jardine the decision. After the screw job in London, I wondered if UFC was going to just hire French judges for fights where they wanted a certain result. Frankly neither of them looked particularly good, and I am starting to wonder if Chuck is being too much of a celebrity and not enough of a fighter, especially given that he is 37.
To me MMA has an inherent advantage over boxing, of which I have been a huge fan, in that the submissions give every fighter the equivalent of one punch knock out power. Every fight can end at any time if there is the slightest mistake, and also gives huge comeback potential.
