Well, the main site is a news site, so they really can't avoid reporting the news concerning a live, televised event, and descriptions in headlines are a part of that reporting. So you can't really fault a sports news site for reporting the news, you should know to avoid the main site if you are dodging spoilers (like me). I can't really speak to decisions made regarding the main site, but it does not seem unreasonable for them to keep posting up-to-date news.
Regarding the forums, however, I agree with you and I've been working to eliminate any spoilers I've seen about DREAM 9 in subject headings (and as a result already ruined three fights for myself that I won't get to watch until later, but that will happen). Because of the overnight nature of the broadcast we'll keep trying to keep the forum clear of topic-headline-spoilers probably throughout the day.

No offense. Why would you visit a news site or a forum if you havent watched the fights. Your a dumb *** to think they would not post the results. No offense. Now you learned.
ok, like people have said already if you wanted to watch something via tape delay or on dvr(ie dream 9), you should probably not visit mma site/forum.
this happened to me this weekend, i had some family issues come up and i didnt get home till 1130pm central on sat, well not wanting to walk into the very end of ufc 98, i decided i would watch the replay the following afternoon(sun at 3pm). i knew this would be a huge challage for me, because
-i had 2 parlays that i needed just 1 more win on
-JFC 27
-i was really looking forward to matt v matt
-machida/evans (LHW is my fav division)
so i chose to not use the interent (not being on the forums for like 24 hours was brutal), play ufc undisputed(hey you never know they may post somethign) or watch espn(sometimes they post results on there bottom line) until i had finished watching the event..
it all kinda worked out, i lost both my parlays(damn sherk :evil: )but won my JFC and was happy with most of the fights..
...so bottom line, dont go to mmajunkie.com if you want to be suprised when you watch a taped event!

Do "You're a dumbass" and "No Offense" logically fit into the same paragraph??

The japanese could easily adjust their fight times to suit america so that we could watch the fights at a reasonable like the UFC does.
These fights starting at 3am is stupid anyways.

Cultural blindness, manifest destiny, belief that the U.S. is the center of the world. This is an ignorant statement.

I didnt call him a dumbass outright. I said he is if he thinks coming to an MMA site whos main purpose is reporting news not to post fight results to not post fight results. You are out of your mind.

Look over head, its a bird, its a plane, its superman, nope, with all due respect its just a little sarcasm that was over your head and you were unable to grasp.
I can understand where the OP is coming from. With so many habitual junkies who regularly visit the site by rote, which costs Junkie more in traffic, having visitors click on a story with a cryptic headline like "Dream 9 results" or having a juicy headline and keeping away (if even temporarily) those who don't want to know the results? Presumably they've done this analysis and decided on the current format, but it can still be frustrating.
Would it be possible to have a user preference where we would could choose to automatically get "censored" headlines or would this be a huge pain to implement?
fear not!

On the Internet Movie Data Base (imdb.com) forums they have this thing where a small banner with the words "spoiler" is placed over a desired string of words that can only be seen if you pass the mouse over the banner. Doesnt seem like a bad idea here.

OK, sarcasm yeah. That sure was obvious. Whatever man, if you want to leave statements blatantly open for interpretation, that is your prerogative not mine.
