I hate that Big Baldy fuck Marg.
Throw his big, Dumb arse out of reffing.
No way the Karo fight should have been stopped at that point.
At least, let him get punched out.
Big, Useless Prick!!!
Thank you BJ.

WOOO HOOOO.......Quinton wins +210 winner for kickserv:00hour
On a negative side............gmroz just hung himself in his bathroom
decisions like that make you want to kill something......
too much money wagered on machida by decision....
rampage did absolutely nothing in rd 1 except eat kicks.....he did nothing...nada....
an utter disgrace....downright corrupt...
I guess maybe I am biased a little, I thought Rampage won 1-2, and obviously lost the 3rd. When all things are considered equal, not really much happening in round 1 a few legs kicks for Machida a few punches for Rampage, in my opinion it has to go to the one who is more aggressive. Machida fought like he always does, run run and more run and it almost won him the fight. Too bad it couldn't have went another round. At the end of the day it's about marketing and $, so when it is relatively close, have to believe the UFC wanted Rampage. Machida, altought extremely discipline and elusive, is not fun to watch and quite boring, just not a fan of his style. Disclaimer I had no $ on the fight. Shoot me if you must....
Guys, go ahead and say whatever you want. If you can see this fight going any way other than to Machida you are simply clueless. Rampage raised Machida's hand at the end of the 3rd round because he knew he was outmatched. Rampage was embarrassed by the decision, you should be too.
course it wasn`t b.s to you...you got a gift...
go check out the mmajunkie/sherdog rbr scoring.....
no sober person scored the first for jackson...
i put this at whirte`s feet....he doesn`t like machida`s style...i wouldn`t be shocked if that bald headed m.f.`er`s fingerprints are all over this...
i`d wager everybody here was thinking,"whoever wins the 3rd,winds the fight"...
