I saw that hippo fan before. I was afraid he might try to eat Aldo.
What are that song's lyrics? "Porra, Porra, Porra..."?
:lol:

Just watched Erick Silva after his fight again.
He said he was aiming for the side of the head,
however some of the strikes
... then then translator grabbed the mike and said
none of the strikes
hit the back of the head, to which Rogan agreed.

Re: **UFC 142: Aldo (c) vs Mendes Official Discussion Thread
Reg is right. Vitor was doing really well at neutralising AJ, trapping his arm so he couldn't throw any significant strikes or advance position.
AJ just got tied up and was trying to get free but accomplishing nothing.

Anthony Johnson is one of my least favorite fighters, and smfowns is one of my least favorite posters, but with that said, I have to agree with what he's trying to say.

:lol:
If Johnson had gotten a TD early in the fight, and couldn't do much other than small punches and staying in guard for like two minutes or so, then yeah, I'd be okay with some faster standups, since the guy's already proven he can't pass guard or do much damage. Although, Johnson did land a few nice punches, he never was really given any time to work, especially that last one. That was just ridiculous. The first two, I probably don't say anything about it other than while watching it live, but that 3rd one was just nuts.
That said, farewell AJ, you won't be missed.

I can agree with that, even as someone who is Pro/for the stand-ups, I'll admit one of them surprised me. The first ones set that trend of a really fast paced fight, and although like I said I was surprised, when the action resumed I was glad it did.

just rewatched Silva/Prater
Mario warns him but he warns him in
English
Silva does'nt know English so how can he know he is being warned?

Do you really think foreign fighters aren't prepared to understand "touch gloves" "... back of the head" ".... fence" ?
That's not very smart from you, these guys are professionals and ready for simple english instructions.
Not to mention i just rewatched it myself and Mario said "... (something).. atrás da cabeça" (... back of the head) in f**king portuguese.. you fail sir.

no he did'nt lol
i rewatched it again and 1 you can barely even hear him mumble back of the head in English
doubt you heard him speak in Portuguese

Just to play Devils Advocate, the fight got stopped on the illegal strike. DQ.

So one illegal strike, that clearly didn't cause the damage, should have caused a DQ?
Tbh, I'm not sure how the ruling on this should be, but it seems ridiculous that one incidental strike to the back of the head should cause a DQ after the damage was already done.

Re: **UFC 142: Aldo (c) vs Mendes Official Discussion Thread
It doesn't clear it up cause their is only one thing that matters....how it looks from the point-of-view if the REFEREE. Not the TV cameras, Rogan's, or the fans.
