Yeah, stupid Herb Dean. Fedor is face-down on the canvas taking 2 to 3 completely undefended shots....... The stoppage was exactly right.
Did you notice Carwin wasn't able to defend the shots he took from Dos Santos but still he got back up? Why not stop the fight then too? Fedor rolled over after taking those 2 shots. That tells you he was conscious and alert. You give a f*cking champion a chance to fight. That's what you do. You give him more leeway than anybody else in the sport. They've earned that right.
I respect Herb for making the fighters' health a priority but the man needs to just step the f*ck back. He's literally standing over the f*cking fighters. Give them some room. I get more nervous when Herb Dean is standing over the fighters about to wave it off than I do when a fighter gets hurt and is trying to survive. LOL
First, Fedor wasn't a champion of anything last night. He's an aging fighter coming off of two loses including a brutal one-sided beat down. Second, he's earned the right to stay conscious and defend himself or LOSE. Herb saw Fedor's lights go out and then take 3 shots that he wasn't even awake to defend. Good stoppage. Period.
Uh...no. That's terrible and extremely dangerous refereeing. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qFWlbfE-uOw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Reminds me of this abomination. The ref needs to be on top of the action at all times.
At leas the ref can try to recover for their incompetence. Like this. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zEwxzgzSMtM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
i think the stoppage was a tad early as well. the ref's decision was completely justifiable and we all understand why he stopped it. but this isn't a fucking tickling competition
Fedor fell on his face, are you guys kidding me? Watch the replay that is posted above, he literally falls ON HIS FACE. The only reason he was able to roll over at all was because Herb Dean was already using his fat ass to push henderson off him. Perfectly good stoppage. Fedor would have got hurt if the ref let it go.
If Herb Dean Hadn't Intervened, Dan Henderson would STILL B Whipping Fedor's Ass....Henderson HURT Fedor SECONDS Into the Fight...Henderson's a TRUE MMA BANGER...He Hit Fedor w/like 3-4 UNANSWERED Shots... Good Stoppage... REED:mj:
Yup exactly. He was out upon impact, and the referee reacted to that (Fedor getting clocked and falling face first to that mat). As noted earlier, the subsequent shots actually woke up Fedor, but it wouldn't have ended any better had they let it go on.
I'll give Fedor credit for one thing. The guy brings it, win or lose. He doesn't f*ck around like a pussy, backstepping and sh*t like most fighters do. The guy's never taken a backward step in his entire career. He charges forward and puts his ass on the line always. It's not an intelligent tactic but whether he retires now or fights onward, he'll always try to tear his opponent's head off no matter who it is.:clapagain: You never hear booing during a Fedor fight.
I can't believe it, but I actually agree with Hanzy on something MMA related. Fedor came to fight, that is my favorite thing about Fedor, you knew he was coming out guns blazing every time.
Those first 30 seconds on Saturday were frenetic. It was fun to watch. Fedor was all over Hendo until Dan landed that left hook. Fedor was stunned and had to collect himself.
Yep... Fedor was Looking to IMPOSE his Size on Henderson but that Left IMMEDIATELY Changed that Course of Action...Great Fight for as Looooooong as it Lasted... REED:kidcool:
Fedor's Flabby, Panty Wearing Ass Would've Been Knocked Unconcious Even SOONER if he DARED to Carry the Football Across the Line of Scrimmage Into Someone like Ray Lewis, James Harrison or Clay Matthews... He'd B Unconcious w/the Imprint of a Football Helmet in the Middle of his Chest...It's MUCH Safer for him in MMA than the NFL... REED:kidcool:
As I said earlier, I think it was a tad early. not the worst stoppage I've seen but a bad one nonetheless
Are you kidding REED? Anybody who carries a silly ball around running across a field like a circus monkey is already pretty retarded as it is. Why would a real man like Fedor be running around with a pussy football when he'd much rather be throwing a haymaker and trying to smash a man's jaw off his face? MMA is a real man's sport REED.:clapagain:
A 'Real Man' who Wears PANTIES???....Uuuuuh, NOhno:... Fedor was Knocked SENSELESS by the Amatuerish, Caveman Punches of Henderson, who's a Friggin WRESTLER...If Fedor were an NFL Running Back, his Career would Last a Grand Total of ONE Carry...On that Carry, Ray Lewis Would Knock Fedor Into Next Week, Make him FUMBLE the Ball & END his Career... Ray Lewis Would Get WORKED in the Cage, but he'd Last Loooooooooonger in the Cage than Fedor Would on the Gridiron... REED:hammert:
Apparently this is an example of intelligently defending yourself in Sambo? Thanks for that screenshot. Exactly what Herb Dean saw followed by 3 flush undefended shots by Hendo on top.
Not to B GAY, but Fedor was Soooooooooo HELPLESS, Henderson Could've ASSfucked him if he Wanted to...Being AWAKENED by the 3 Ensuing Shots DIDN'T Mean that Fedor was All of a Sudden FIT to Fight... Having Been PERSONALLY Affected by the Swift & Sudden Demise of Roy Jones, REED Can Relate to the HURT that Fedor Fans R Now Feeling, which Leads to Seeing Things How U WANT to See Them... Nonetheless, it was a Good Stoppage... REED:mj:
On Second Thought, Maybe Fedor was Merely SNIFFING the Canvas, Trying to Find a Nice, SCENT FREE Spot for Henderson to Lay, Upon KO'ing him... REED:dunno:
I'm pretty convinced that most guys fighting in Pride were "enhanced" or they just weren't that good. Look at Fedor, look at Nog and Cro Cop. Who has had any kind of success that came from Pride? It's pretty hard to overlook the fact that everyone from pride seems suddenly "shot" Just saying.
