UFC 96 Post Fight Press Conference Part ONE

[nimrod74741]

dana white, shut the fuck up.

[wearey1]

No matter what happens, I think it is very poor form for the head of the UFC to criticise referees...

[clipsryan]

John, Mario and Herb are the best and Dana is right about a ref shouldn't be worried about the unknowlegible fan's booing and just do the job of protector.

[RSB0171717]

titos been training with freddie roach and rashads hands arent as good as everyone thinks hes just a counter puncher thats it!!!! and most mma fighters dont have good boxing and who does rashad work on his boxing/hands with???

freddie roach is the best trainer to work on your boxing with in mma

[MrBtezzy]

rampage jackson vs king mo make it happen

[willeblink]

Why? cause their talking shit about each other?

Mo couldnt handle quintons wrestling and boxing skills, thats for sure!

[MrBtezzy]

brah have u seen king mo lately he is probaly the best wrestler in the light heavyweight division, rampage may have him on the standup but dats why it would be a good fight and they could promote it good cause yes they were talkin shit about each

[willeblink]

Ive seen him and im not that impressed even with his undefeated record.. After mousasi w'ell see.

[MrBtezzy]

we sure will

[BonerJams7]

I really don't believe one of the judges told Jardine that he thought he lost the fight at the last 10 sec. Maybe he was just being nice, kinda like a UFC fan running into Jardine on the street and saying that he's their fav fighter just to get a pic with him. lol

[em88888]

Damn, Jardines face really got busted up from those exchanges huh

[caspace3]

Are the judges on crack? That fight was easily 30-27. The only significant thing Jardine had was one flurry of missed punches in round two. But that was negated by rampage actually knocking him down. Jardine lost in the last 10 seconds? That judge was on crack.

[AdolphMugabi]

did you actually watch the fight? it was close, jardines movement and leg kicks were very good and he won the second round despite the knock down. i dont think the fight was won in the last ten seconds but it was definitely close

[caspace3]

Definitely watched it. Jardine had a few leg kicks that did no damage. These weren't the kicks he used against Liddell. He never mounted any serious offense except that one flurry in round two and he missed almost all of those punches. Also, he only got that flurry because he did a low blow and Jackson didn't take full time to recover. A knockdown should make it a 10-8 round in my eyes. No way jardine won that round or any other. But that's the problem with judging these things. It is variable.

[AdolphMugabi]

i admit it wasnt as close as that judge is saying but its definately closer than what your saying. have you seen the compustrike stats?

[slashysmasher]

tito ortiz is the only one to match up to evens and he would have of won if he wasnt retarded but hell i dont care about either one of them macheda will kick evans ass and rampage will fight macheda.

[BonerJams7]

Are you trying to tell us all with a str8 face that Tito can still give Rashad a good fight? Look at how much better Rashad's hands has gotten since than. KO'd Chuck which Tito couldn't do... twice! lol

[Spikeard]

who does Rashad fight with besides keith? i didnt even know he fights with keith...o.o

[intothestorm1]

he trains with nate marquardt kenyy florian gsp and some fighters from wec

[jd234567]

not to mention Jardine and Rashad

[bradtaz]

who was taken for an MRI?????

[Harkoan]

Pete Sell was told by Dana White to go to the hospital for an MRI

[Masterke85]

I think you right about those takedowns, haha otherwise Bob Crap would win fights on points lol

[truthfilter]

he lost the fight in the last ten seconds ' were these guys watching the same fight jardine didn't put quinton down once ' the im a big ufc fan but the rules are stupid points should not be given for takedowns only for what is done on the ground a takedown is just putting the fight on a different level i can't do with these people who try to win on points this is supposed to be ultimate fighting not greco

[ateamga]

that fight didn't look 'close' at all. What the hell were these guys watching?

[LHK101]

I had Rampage winning. 30-27

[ateamga]

That's what I scored too!

[cdph19]

keith jardine is exactly what a fighter should look like, he's a mean looking dude. I'd pay to see him, he beat two former champs and came close to beating a third, he should of got a title shot before griffen.

[guitarninja83]

Why? Griffin beat the top of his division to get a title shot, then guess what? He actually beat the champ, something Keith couldn't do at all. So why should he get a title shot before Forrest? Someone who deserved it, and proved he deserved it when he won the title.

[cdph19]

Keith Jardine couldn't do what at all? he hasn't gotten a title shot. Out of his last six fights, four of the guys have been champions, and he beat two of them and barely lost to Jackson. Before Griffin fought Jackson who did he beat?

[guitarninja83]

That was before, and Forrest came back, Jardine just like Dana said, has a tendency to win,lose, win, lose etc.. Forrest usually wins, wins, wins. He has very few losses. Im not saying Jardine isn't good, or doesn't deserve a shot, nothing like that at all. Forrest beat his opponents when they were the top 1 or top 2 guys, Jardine beat his when they were the top 3 or top 4 guy, Chuck, Forrest, etc.. There is a difference, fighters improve. Someone who wins more often gets the shot, like Griffin.

[cdph19]

You're right about his tendancy. But he beat Chuck Liddell 1 fight after Chuck lost the belt. Then, he would have had to beat Silva and then maybe he would have been in talks for a title shot. Forrest, beat a nobody than had to beat an out of shape Shogun and he got his title shot. Rashad Evans beat liddell many fights later and he got a title shot the next fight.

[guitarninja83]

I get your point, but Rashad never lost, hence why he deserved a title shot after only beating Chuck Lidell, and Bisping, and Ortiz. Either way, Forrest only deserved a shot slightly more than Jardine. Many others deserve it before either of them, Machida and Evans obvious ones. And Jardine doesn't ever put on the performances Evans and Griffin do, at least in my personal opinion that is. Griffin deserved it, he beat Rampage, obviously Jardine didn't, he lost to rampage, its quite simple really.

[RGDA4LIFE]

just fyi he didnt beat tito it was a draw and actually had tito not grabbed the fence once and lost a point rashad would have lost that fight by decision.

[IMolestKittens]

jardin is sexy

[iamsilverback]

Jardine was up the entire fight, that last ten seconds cost him the win. When is Dana going to pay him some decent money? He was in the main event!

[RGDA4LIFE]

he made $115,000 for that fight and i know its not rampage's $385,000 but its still more than most people make in a year.

[LHK101]

Jardine should be happy he made that much. Didn't he only get paid $14,000 for Chuck and $10,000 for Wand?

[RGDA4LIFE]

exactly and i mean 10k isnt something to sneeze at either i mean unless u are living extravigantly but i mean with a house and a car or 2 thats enough to pay the bills for a month or so and thats for 15minutes of work not to mention locker room bonuses and sponsorship deals.

[BigNate021690]

for 15 minutes of work lol. it not just for that it is for the two to three months when fighters train for 8 hrs a day six days a week

[RGDA4LIFE]

but he doesnt get paid to train. if he did then there would never be fighters taking fights on short notice, but it doesn't matter because your point is moot. even for a few months of training he still got paid $115,000 and that's more than the average person makes in a year and jardine fights at least 3 times a year if not more so don't feel sorry for him.

[pekkaonkoodari]

the executive of ufc is so akward. can't believe it

[WARMACHNE14]

jardine is the most underpaid fighter he got 50 last night and when he fought liddel he got 14k and liddel got 500k wat shit is that

[freezyfreeze]

cus people paid money to see chuck at the time. At the time fans will fill the stadium to see chuck fight. Since he was the more marketable one, he gets more money no matter W or L. Kinda like the Manny Pacquiao v. Oscar De la hoya boxing bout. Manny beat the hell out of Oscar, but Oscar had a 2 1/2 to 1 payout because of how big his name is. Its not black and white where if you win you get more than the loser. That's how it used to be. Now its all about how big your name is.

[whole27]

no one wants to see jardines ugly ass...that's why he gets paid shit! ugly person and ugly fighter

[WARMACHNE14]

who is jardine fighting next

[DurBanPoison420uh]

he would whoop yer mother fuckin ass

[iamsilverback]

must be a family member of Brandon Vera's...lol

[RGDA4LIFE]

i dont like carwin, im not saying he sucks as a fighter but his personality is just so fucking boring!!!

[fatalfeedback]

I'm all for anyone who might possibly get the title from brock lesnar! I also would love to see lyoto machida or anyone for that matter get rashad evans out from under that title! but i agree carwin is boring...

[WARMACHNE14]

did jardine get 60 to

[RGDA4LIFE]

yeah

[waydow89]

yd big john leave??? UFC needs him best MMA ref there is.

[welldestre]

1976 midnight

[hylix27]

Dana may be a dick but he tells it like it is and he was right those are the 3 good MMA refs in the UFC Big John is great too but he doesnt ref for the UFC anymore.

[bertinotti]

Dana white blows. what a prick.

[Chick6517]

Haha this is why youtube is so damn interesting. it can keep me entertained for hours and hours! haha It's so entertaining

[itpduder]

I'm sorry but UFC refereeing has diminished since Big John left. I really think Big John brought a level of professionalism and morale that is incalculable.

[betterpro]

at 5:45 dana was about to say steve mazagatti but then takes it back.....can someone please tell me what steve mazagatti did to piss dana off?

........and why dana didnt even mention big john mccarthy? Even if he had quarrels with the UFC he still was a great referee!

[kalbasa1]

if i recall properly he fkd up mir/lesnar 1

[Cajunx2001]

As to Big John, he's now with Affliction - an up-and-coming rival to the UFC. Dana, being President of the UFC, does not even want to mention that a competing brand exists, let alone commend one of its employees.

[mikevan494]

I know Dana was pissed at Mazagatti after UFC 92. I think he was pissed about the late stoppage in the Chiek Kongo/Mustapha Al-Turk fight, and I don;t think he liked the timing of the stoppage in the Forrest/Rashad fight either. I'm pretty sure Mazagatti did both of those.

[dcnhvhb]

Mazzagatti sucks

[edgar2320]

Bring back big John , You stupid fuck!!! Why you let him go...

[FireMaster7001]

@edgar2320

LOL I wouldn't be calling people stupid fucks when you clearly don't even know how the sport/NSAC works.

Big John (and all refs) worked for the athletic commission not the UFC. The reason he left was because he couldn't make much money doing his job and the UFC couldn't pay him more to keep him since it would be illegal.

[nav599]

what happend in the Nelson Riley fight?

[Hounsfield]

People are saying early stoppage

[Penguinluver13]

It was an early stoppage. Riley got rocked and went down, he twisted to his back and put his knees up for his guard and the ref called it. It sucks it was the only prelim not aired but I'm sure you can find it at some point.

[newmondo]

lol at the Mazzagatti comment

[funktard]

Mazagati. Lol, jk.

[Maloperverso]

Mario Yamasaki? The ref at the UFC 66 main event? He ain't that good. The ref from Lesnar vs Mir 1 sucks, he should get fired.

[aussiejosh81]

Thanks for the post! 5 stars!

[kidmongo1]

Matt Hamill cracks me up. He's like a giant dangerous kid running around, he's always so excited.

[hashoomk]

I have so much respect for him, it is awsome that he didn't let his disability effect him, every one loves this guy
