Should have been stopped when Overeem threw several illegal knees to the head.

Were they illegal?

Thought they were only illegal if both knees were on the ground or one knee and one hand. Both his hands were up and only one knee was down.

Another 5 seconds could be tragic after getting caught flush
three times
The ref was so spot on with this

Doubs · 18-08-2013 02:26AM

Who you got people? Sonnen by decision for me... tough one to call though

I think the rules are "three points of contact with the floor"

Why is Sonnen even in there with Shogun. Makes no sense.

Bets like that might be an indicator that you should quit gambling dude. Throwing money away!

I don't gamble much at all. Just a small bit for fun, to make it more interesting.

I lost my accumulator. I'll more than likely lose my last bet.
For the craic I let the wife pick three fighters for a treble. (She has no clue about mma)
She had Matt Brown, Travis Browne, and she has Sonnen now too. Jammy bitch will probably win and won't give me my stake back!

I thought it was a knee, Rogan said they were illegal too so I figured they were.

Your opponent only has to have one hand or knee on the ground for the knees to be deemed illegal.

wouldnt have years ago, not so sure now
theyve both lost to the very best over the last couple of years

Bookies have sonnen fav all week

DeVore · 18-08-2013 02:30AM

I want to say Sonnen but how does he finish this? I dunno how Sonnen plans to finish any top 5 fighter because his GnP wasn't effective for 4.5 rounds against Silva.... On that basis I want to say Rua but.... Hmmmm.

Rua. He has ways to finish it I guess.

I get what you are saying but Browne was receiving sustained striking, not kick big hit that put him out. Overreem sagged right back, he was out and the ground of the hammer fists may have brought him back. Even if he could have recovered , which is doubtful, when he is out its over.

A knee down is technically grounded.

only one possible way for chael and thats point i think

mailburner · 18-08-2013 02:34AM

ok no surprise with chaels tactics

gonna be a war of attrition

stiffler123 · 18-08-2013 02:35AM

I can see Sonnen winning this by lay and pray tactics. I hope I'm wrong and they stand and throw though. Still shocked by that Browne ko.

18-08-2013 02:35AM

Nice start to the fight

DeVore · 18-08-2013 02:35AM

Looks like we are in for 5 rounds of wrestling and hugging

DeVore · 18-08-2013 02:36AM

I predict... booing.

Mellor · 18-08-2013 02:37AM

Chael is doing a great job of nulifying Rua's BJJ.

Professey Chin · 18-08-2013 02:38AM

Well fcuk

mailburner · 18-08-2013 02:38AM
