Leg Kick early in the first.

 

[daikkenaurora]

How did he break it?

Spoiler:

Chuck threw a kick and Franklin tried to block it and it broke. Shows just how powerful Chuck's kicks are.

Spoiler:

The crazy thing is, Chuck looked GOOD.. and still lost by brutal KO. lol.

Cro Cop Sub of the night! Great

Hopefully Chuck talks to Ariel Helwani and in the Post conference. I'm sure Tito is happy.

____ing awesome event.

Spoiler:

The bar I was at went bat____ crazy when Mirko put on that choke. I went all school girl at Jonas Brothers concert. Berry fought well in the first, don't know what happened there.

Heartbreaking loss for Liddell. He really could have won that fight. Not that I want to take away from Rich(that's a lie), but I honestly think Tito can knock out Chuck these days. A sad turn of events for one of the all time greats.

anyone got a link to the post fight press con?

There were people on Youtube complaining about the UFC having another PPV so soon and that they couldnt figure out why it wasnt on Spike. I think they just got shown why. Good fights.

No MMAtonight or whatever ESPN2 calls their post fights show? Hmmm.

Spoiler:

I didn't notice at the bar, but Chuck's upper lip is ____ed up. Like split in half.

I dont think the press conference happened yet, it probably wont happent til about 2 or 2:30...but I could be wrong. Really good fights tonight.

True but I don't think that's the case here. Up until UFC 71 his chin was never suspect and never in question IMO. Never heard or saw anything regarding that (as opposed to someone like Arlovski where his chin is CONSTANTLY questioned since he was KTFO in his first MMA fight).

So I'd say it's more a case of "you can't fix damaged goods".

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yep, I agree...I think its just a matter of overtime hes just to damaged now.

Spoiler:

I think Chuck and Tito have been done for awhile now. That being said, Chuck looked great up to that point, he just falls into bad habits that used to not cost him fights. I think Tito is worse off than Chuck by far. You also have to look at the guys that have KO'd Chuck. Rashad, former LHW champ, Shogun, current LHW champ, Rampage, former LHW champ, and Rich, who would prolly still be the 2nd best MW guy if he was still in the division. I think Chuck has faced tougher competition now adays than when he was champ for so long, but on top of that, his age is a factor as well. Its still possible that Chuck and Tito will still fight, but I havent seen TUF, so I gotta see what happened with all that.

Spoiler:

Yeah Chuck was okay until that right connected. This is still a problem. Chuck looked really good with his strikes ( I mean his leg kick broke Franklin's arm) but he just cant take a punch. I agree that Chuck has fought tougher fighters now then he did when he was champ.

TUF was good.. for Chuck. lol If Chuck and Tito want to see fight then whatever but right now, Chuck is done.

hahaha chuck is like "Can i have a beer now dammit?!".

From Yahoo Sports:

Spoiler:

"....Two of the judges had MacDonald up 20-18 at the time of the stop. The third had it a draw, 19-19. If the judges would have scored the fight 10-8 for Condit, as it appeared they might, the fight would have wound up a majority draw.

MacDonald didn’t complain about the stoppage....."

I wasnt trying to say that Chuck's chin has always been suspect but getting punched and KO'd so much, his chin just got damaged over time.

Yep, I agree...I think its just a matter of overtime hes just to damaged now.

Spoiler:

In my opinion MacDonald didnt do enough on top. Condit was actively striking and getting back up. The last round was definitely a 10-8. Condit did the most damage in that fight.
