Is there anyone who thinks that when the UFC goes overseas the judgeing is bad. I think its mainly due to the fact that europeans dont now how to score wrestling. There was also one judge who scored a fight 30-28. How do you give a 10-10 round. I also dont know how anyone can not give marquart a round in his fight.

I don't see any fights that had a 30-28 score... Two judges gave Marquardt a round on their card and one judge had it 3-0 for Okami.

I'd have to go look it up, but he is right, one round in the fight was scored 30-28, unless Buffer read it wrong. Buffer most definitely said 30-28. I only remember it because I said the same thing "how in the world do you get 30-28?"

Not sure why we're discussing this but fwiw, on UFC 122, these were the following scorecards from the entire night:
30-27, 30-27, 30-27
28-29, 29-28, 29-28
30-27, 30-27, 30-27
30-27, 30-27, 30-27
30-27, 29-28, 29-28

What we need to be talking about is how bad the overseas cards are getting to be. Marquardt-Okami as a main event. Hell, even Rich Franklin vs. Dan Henderson at UFC 93 was better. Remember when they actually unified the UFC Light Heavyweight and Pride titles in London?

I agree with that. The main events of overseas cards tend to be one of two things: two guys fighting for a potential future title shot OR Bisping and his ever-so-exciting style of using his length to stay away from his opponent and out-jab them.

You kidding me? Having an UFC event alongside the Arnold Classic makes too much sense.

Agree. They really don't put on big cards in England/Ireland. They had a pretty good card in Australia and of course, in Abu Dhabi.

Recent overseas main events:
UFC 122 - Nate Marquardt vs. Yushin Okami - Winner gets title shot
UFC 120 - Michael Bisping vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama; Dan Hardy, Cheick Kongo
UFC 112 - Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia for Middleweight Title; B.J. Penn vs. Frankie Edgar for Lightweight title; Matt Hughes
UFC 110 - Antonio Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez, Wanderlei Silva vs. Michael Bisping; Joe Stevenson, Ryan Bader, Mirko Cro Cop
UFC 99 - Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva; Cain Velasquez, Mirko Crop Cop, Caol Uno
UFC 95 - Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Stevenson; Dan Hardy, Nate Marquardt, Chael Sonnen, Josh Koscheck
UFC 93 - Rich Franklin vs. Dan Henderson - Winner coaches TUF; Shogun vs. Coleman

Yeah, there was no UFC in March last year either, they had a WEC.

I went to all 3 UFCs in Columbus, but I know last year was a WEC, not a UFC.

UFC this weekend cant wait, gonna be a damn good card. But the main event I have a bad feeling about already, Machida is gonna dance around the entire fight like he always does, makes for lots of boos and a boring main event usually

I bet all of my money on Machida.. hope its a good bet!

If theres a prop bet of "time Machida spends fleeing" Id go all in

Machida is the best fighter in the MMA

Id take GSP and Silva P4P before Machida. Machida is good, and i get his strategy, it just makes for boring fights when hes fleeing the whole time IMO. I know its part of the sport before 3 people tell me this.

No he's not.

I really don't know who is going to win the main events tonight. I can't wait to find out though!

rydawg5;566559 wrote:Machida is the best fighter in the MMA

His last two fights against shogun beg to differ. And I am a huge machida fan.

I know machida is a strike and avoid Guy but his fights are hardly ever boring

Parisyan fight got stopped a bit early I thought.
