Teh Chris wins, thoughts on the multiple eyepokes? *** MERGED ***

[rjmbrd]

If this isn't overturned, its complete BS

It was announced on the broadcast that the commission did not declare it a TKO, rather that the eye poke meant the fight had to be scored up to that point.

Chris clearly won the first 2 rounds - even if there was a point deduction he still wins.

Not a great ending to the fight and you hate to see it, but Bruno should absolutely NOT have crumbled to the ground and rolled around. That is the wrong move and was likely the difference in getting a point deduction, 5 minutes to recover and continuing to fight, and losing on the spot.

Jumps in a bit to fast to end the fight

They should have DQd him as soon as he said he wasn't retiring.

If they had a belt for not having self awareness, Weidman would be wearing it.

 

[TCE]

WHAT THE HELL
this is not acceptable. double eye poke ruled as a KO?

fuck the UFC. Really. FUCK IT

The garbage ref is employed by the commission, not the UFC.

Bisping was really shitty, and I'm not even picky when it comes to this stuff.

We weren't even 20 seconds into the fight and Bisping was already creating this narrative that the leg break was in Chris' head. Bisping didn't even know which leg Chris had broken, embarrassing stuff.

Chris has been openly, publicly stating its in his head. This isn't some secret, he's been talking about it in interviews.

FFS in his literal post fight interview he said he was afraid to throw kicks in his last fight.

If you go back to the PBP thread where Weidman broke his leg I just commented "HAHAHAH" as it happened and I don't take that back

Most unlikeable UFC fighter I've ever seen. Guy runs around with his hands up after a leg break win and shits on Bruno for having the audacity to get eye poked 4 times

 

[Nobru]

I dont think even The Chris fanbase is happy about what happened.
His post fight interview tho...................................... I wont mind watching him get crippled next fight.

In full speed / real time, there is no way you catch both of those pokes, because I didn't and we had a perfect view from HD cameras.

Bruno absolutely crumbled to the ground like he got starched.

The commission reviewed it and called back the TKO, and judged the fight up to that point. Chris still wins, but doesn't get a TKO. Sucks, but a decision win for Chris is how that fight ended.

Spider fans still salty.

I'm aware of that.

In the opening seconds of the fight Chris lifts his LEAD leg, Bisping saw that and tried to equate that to Chris' leg break on his REAR leg. It made no sense whatsoever, and showed Bisping wasn't paying attention to what leg Chris was even using during the fight.

His fellow commentators then mention that Chris threw his rear leg at Bruno right in the opening seconds of the fight, proving the opposite.


Nobody knows what Weidman was thinking in the fight, just commentate on the fight and leave the nonsensical narratives out of it for at least 60 seconds. At the end of the day what Bisping said made no sense. It's the equivalent of me throwing a left jab and you saying I'm still thinking about my broken right hand from years ago.

Chris has been training with Jon Jones, Gilbert Yvel, and Kevin Burns.

 

[Nabs]

Dirty Weidman. He poked the shit out of that guy!
Blatant in the replay

2x as he was coming in.

Although I understand his emotions, it was cringe to see him scream "I'm back". The delusion is still strong there.

 

[Hitdepruns]

He was winning this fight. A pitty.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Not sure why you wouldnt just rake everyone in the eyes. Seems like it's not illegal

 

[Normot]

I just can't get over him still bringing his kids. How many times have they been close by watching him get kilt?

 

[w00t]

He tried to milk a DQ win over Gegard until it turned out to be a legal knee.

 

[Fatback96]

All the refs have been horrible tonight.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Nah your just mad he emasculated and knocked out Anderson and beat the living shit out of him twice

 

[Skarsgard]

Jesus. I thought NY and Abu Dhabi officiating was shit. Atlantic City keeps lowering the bar.

As unfortunate as all the poking was and as much as I enjoy seeing Teh Chris get murked on the reg, it was good to see him do decent tonight.

He looked super tentative which is still normal, but his confidence started to rise the longer the fight went. I wish he did more with his hands, but this was a good showing considering everything.

I don't mind seeing him fight again. If I'm in his corner, he needs to adopt a grappling heavy strategy going fwd. Use strikes to set up his TDs, then work on the subs. His chin is gone but his ground game is still lethal. He just needs to use it more.

His chin was good and held up. He stumbled once barely and fell off balance another time.
