11. The MMA Analyst Presents: MMA Roundup, July 2008

[Euphoria2g]

I thought that round 4 in the Jackson-Griffin fight was exciting. Jackson actually started landing combos and then got that take down. Then started to ground and pound Griffin who then made that triangle attempt. And then Jackson picked him up and half slammed him and then when they were back standing, Jackson started landing more combo's. Good round for Jackson. He definitely won rounds 1 and 4 in that fight.

[doliveij]

Yeah.

You are right. Round 4 was good. And also, round 1-4 were DEF Rampages rounds. 2 and 3 were Forrests (imo). Round 5 was the determining factor (or at least should have been).

But even if Rampage would repeated round 4, in round 5, the way the ref's had it, Rampage woulda STILL lost!

Now, that woulda been a robbery! if he woulda won round 1,4 and 5, and lost the fight because they didn't give him round 1?

oohhhh! That woulda pissed me off even more then him just losing in general!

[WillMillion15]

wow how did i forget that ko...that would of been my pick as well. I guess I should think my picks through more and actually think about it before I record my videos.

[MMAisKING]

i just loved Joachim Hellboy Hansen`s ko of shinya aoki in dream 5...he deserved it lol

[doliveij]

Damn! I wanted Aoki to take that thing!

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

[WillMillion15]

I agree I was so pissed.

[elmatador404]

how about Demien Maia's submission over Ed Herman?

[doliveij]

That was nice, but it was in April. This is a July list.

Still a nice sub.

[elmatador404]

Whoops... my bad!

[hattrickhockey17]

great vid, and picks karsten, thanks for taking the time to do this, and being involved in the MMA Youtube Community!!

[chokewho]

Damn right about the Affliction broadcast......yawn yawn

[reflectionsfade3]

That dance in the beginning was awesome.

[DoberTheG]

july was indeed a great month for mma. if they show affliction at october and wand vs rampage this also gonna be great.

[c3n1x]

The bad call of the month was 2 of the 3 refs giving round 1 to Griffon? Last I checked that was up to the 3 judges not the referee.

[den19852]

I loved the Guillotine by Jake Shields. He made it look so easy, against "The Goat" for goodness sakes.

[TheSpiderMind]

You are absolutely right. Forest one. I am a rampage fan also. I just don't get why there are people who think Rampage was "robbed.".... Robbed? Bullshit. Basically, Rampage lost because everything was close to even going into last round and in virtually the WHOLE LAST ROUND FOREST HAD CENTER OF OCTAGON. If Rampage won, why was Forest in center of ring WHOLE last round????

[Haimster1986]

I hope Rampage gets better soon,not a good month for him.

[MMAwizard]

great vid bro

[Meodread]

bad call actually came from the leites/marquardt fight but yeah johnson/burns just made it more needed

[doliveij]

ooohh!

Yeah, that was definitely a multitude of bad calls. The final "non call" came from NOT DQing Marquardt for a blatant pile-driver.

yukk. That fight was gross!

[VicDienekes]

johnson getting a L when burns should have been DQ'd is worse than marquardt getting a L when he himself should have DQ'd.

[doliveij]

Touche my good lad, touche! Hopefully that decision will be overturned in the near future. If not, it could go down as one of the worse decisions of all time. 1. After mulitple Eye Pokes .. 2. A final poke drops Johnson 3. Johnson rec's the loss. 4. The Eye Poker admits to throwing punches that heighten the chances of "eye pokes" 5. Johnson has eye surgery to "fix" the problem. 6. The ref apologizes for the bad call. 7. The eye poker is cut from the UFC Yeah, that warrants an reversal. lol
