@warchief138 Don't know if it was 5 seconds, more like 2, but he was definitely out before the bell. I guess you get special rules if you are Randy's kid. Doesn't seem fair.

bullshit bollinger put his ass to sleep!!!

(CONTINUED): So the ref panicked a lil(cuz after all, he is human too) and lost his professionalism by picking up couture, but i think he was just trying to get him back to his corner as soon as possible instead letting him lay there which would make him, the ref look like and ass for not calling the fight. Tho at the same time, how out was this kid? Coutur did lose momentum as the lock stayed in longer but he never really stopped moving :l well that's my rant for the day

[MrGuuudFeelingz]

I would say that it was very close and that you would have to have been in the ring to really make an accurate judgement on whether or not he was out before the bell. That being said, I have a theory as to why the ref helped couture to his corner. He prolly had a hard time telling whether or not he shud call the fight and by the time the round was over he realized that he no longer had that option and could see that things were getting out of his control(with bollinger hoppin up like he won).

Couture didn't want none of that ground game. 10th Planet son! Not to mention Bollinger got his black belt from Bravo right before this. That is enough to hype anybody the fuck up!

@Sacriphyx Because people say Ryan was out after that choke he was in, which he actually wasn't. :/ People are ridiculous.

[SuperClydsdale]

mma is becoming more and more of a spectator sport (entertainment) so officials do what ever it takes to keep the fight going. thats why you dont tap via choke on short time.

[MarcRodriguezMMA]

na i dun think he had anything to do with being randy's kid. the ref was shit. he is supposed to check the fighter. he didnt so he's a fag. good fight

[cky450mm]

hey bollinger sould have won. but at least it was a draw and they didnt totaly fuck him out of a fight

[kickass1954]

Sacriphx,

!- The triangle choke out. Any other amateur fight would have been stopped, even if the fighter was saved by the bell.

2- The ref helped Ryan up and to his corner. If Ryan couldn't find his way on his own the fight should have been stopped.

3- Punches to the back of the head are illegal. Why didn't the ref call Couture on this in the 3rd?

4- Why was Couture given an extra 30 seconds to recover between rounds 2 and 3?

No disrespect to the fighters. Just bad officiating.

[Sacriphyx]

Why was this a controversial fight?

[AudienceKiller66]

If Bollinger wasn't going to win, it'd better be a draw. No way that couture won that.
