    Dear America, your obsession with the military and nationalistic symbolism is weird as **** and every other developed nation think's you're stuck in the early 1900's.

    KTHXBAI!

    Then Bellator announcer lad is probably going to be the first person against the wall when I assume supreme leadership of the world.

    They both had had he same pay regardless of the result, maybe after the first elbow Tito dropped Chael decided to just give his back?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    I'm happy that Tito went out with a win, there's no doubting that he's one of the people who helped legitimise the sport more than anyone else in the last 20 years, but that was a weird fight man. I can't help but thin Chael took the heel role too seriously and took the loss like a heel is meant to?

    I know they are grapplers but its like they agreed hey no striking, not one for conspiracies but who knows, size difference was crazy there too Tito on the mexican supplements much larger man chael looked in for the pay cheque there, another UFC reject who loses in bellator.

    That was a complete work. Chael was out, but stuck his head back in. It wasn't even locked up when he tapped. He had one hand across and the other just holding his fist with zero force.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 566 ✭✭✭Rainman16


    Well they were hardly going to have Ortiz lose this one. If the fix was in, on this occasion I wouldn't be too mad. It's not like the fight had any other meaning than a swan song for Ortiz.

    Well yes they were. It's fighting, not wwe. There's no justification for a fix.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,890 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    A fix in any major organisation regardless of the reason or any attempt at justification would bring the whole sport into a bad light and would have people doubting the legitimacy of all fights.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10 HillBillyElegy


    Don't know why people think tihs is a fix. Chael had his position locked in and panicked when he got no tap. Tito then obliterated him.

    Typical Chael, a loser with no fight grit or determination.

    Well done Tito


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,377 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Don't know why people think tihs is a fix.
    Because the "choke" that Tito won with didnt look remotely like it was a real RNC.

    Coz the "choke" looks like it would be mildly inconvenient on Sonnens at worst.

    Chael has a history of tapping early, or as soon as he gets put in a semi compromising position.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,140 ✭✭✭dashoonage


    ive also rolled with white belts who dont give up their back that easy....

    He was a division 1 wrestler, 2nd at some big comps, and trialled for the Olympic team. Wrestling is tough, and he would have routinely been in way way more compromising positions then.

    He was subbed by Silva and Maia, but nothing about them looked soft imo. Haven't seen his early sub losses (Jeremy Horn, Sobral)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 566 ✭✭✭Rainman16


    It did look a little WWE-esque


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10 HillBillyElegy


    Chael's head was as red/purple as it could be without exploding.

    You lot are bizarre.

    Yet again CHael fails to back up his talk. He should stop fighting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,604 ✭✭✭dave1982




    All i see it Tito tapping his own head, more say he tapped Chaels glove to let go and move position


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,377 ✭✭✭✭Mellor

    Hold your breath and your face goes red. You don't need somebody restricting blood flow for that.
    The RNC is one of the most common submissions in MMA. But I can think of any that were finished with a grip like that (one arm).

    Tapping your own head/body also counts as tapping out. Very weird thing to do.
    Chael certainly bailed on that darce quickly.

    Might make more sense if you could hear them in there.;)
