Peoples is consistently involved in judging travisties. He is a narsasistic douche, I almost get the impression he loyally fucks up his scores for press, however negative it is. When he said anyone who disagreed with machida vs. Rua I. Could go to yell, virtually he said EVERYONE who watched that fight should because everyone who saw it knew Rua won. Peoples should go to Mali and jerk off that ref who fucked the US soccer team.

Ah. So there really was NO reason for his terrible scorecards…

I’ll never give Cecil the benefit of the doubts. He has botched wayyyy to many fights.

I dunno why, but this reminded me of when Luger and Bret Hart fell from the ring at the end of the Royal Rumble in 94′ or 95′.

Easy fix to me. Shalorus gets the first fight with Henderson because of the obvious injuries to Varner, and Varner gets the winner down the road.

CageReport removed those articles after they were found to be fake.

No one ever questioned the Cecil Peoples quote from CageReport because they all wanted to believe that a bumbling fool like Cecil WOULD come up with poor reasoning for his scorecard.

I don’t care much for Cecil Peoples but I can’t believe MMA writers are still bringing up those leg kick comments that he never made. I’ve now seen Breen, Meltzer and even Rogan bring it up.

The site those comments came from also produced quotes from a Mayweather press conference that never happened, a Rothwell interview that irritated Big Ben so much that he made enough noise on the UG that the story got pulled completely and a Coleman interview where he said he was training for Tito at UFC 106 with Ernest “The Cat” Miller.

Fightmetric scored it 29-27 for Varner(with point deduction).

In boxing, you have the three knockdown rule in some states. People hate it more often than love – mandatory rules of that nature can lead to controversy when a bad call is made.

As far as the low blows go, it probably comes down to accidental vs. intentional. Anyone who wants to see mandatory point deduction for unintentional low blows is an idiot – you’ll have guys rolling all over the mat every fight trying to win off “groin strikes” that actually land on the belt line or outside thing.

Referees also can choose to let the fighters fight just as NBA officials will “let them play” by being rougher without necessarily stepping in to change the course of action in the contest. Refs shouldn’t be looking to be the focal point/star of a fight when it happens.

I meant to say outside thigh and meant hip. I shouldn’t even be awake.

“Striking for points” only works when you’re not getting hit back (ie a Machida fight) But when everything you throw gets answered you have to judge what is doing more damage. And there’s no way you can count a leg kick as being as important to trying to finish a fight as punches. It’s not like they were Cro Cop leg kicks that were crippling Varner, he was counterstriking easily.

People did complain that Jardine got screwed on pretty much every thread I’ve read on the show. But nobody really likes either fighter (Hamill because he’s a douchebag and Jardine because he’s boring) so the outrage is obviously kept to a minimum.
