It's banned everywhere, not just in public.

BJ must have forgotten Dana's one piece of advice: don't leave it in the judges hands.
I'm a BJ fan and I had it 48-47 for The Answer. Haven't seen many, if anyone, in the division make BJ's face look like that. Usually it's just sweaty.
How did you have it 48-47 for Edgar when this is what actually happened? https://www.fightmetric.com/fights/Edgar-Penn.html
BJ landed way more shots to the head, way more power shots.
If it was a beauty contest I agree that Frankie won that fight. But imo if the judges are going to give the fight to the guy that has the prettier face, this sport is in serious trouble.
Well, I watched the fight and didn't count the number of kicks, punches, etc that were thrown versus what landed, but IMO Frankie appeared to be more of the aggressor in Rounds 3-5 and BJ looked gassed/injured/flat as the fight progressed.
My comment about BJ's face wasn't me saying Frankie should have won just because of that. It was just to point out that not many other fighters in the division have even left a scratch on BJ's face, whereas Frankie found some way to get through BJ's defense and land his jabs/punches.
Irregardless, we'll get to see Frankie/BJ 2 sooner rather than later.
The system was created neither by a fighter nor a statistician. It’s entirely possible that there are flaws that need to be corrected.
I thought Penn won 4 rounds to 1 (I could see it being 3 to 2 at the most) but with that said, Fight Metric is garbage. Not sure why people continue to use that as proof for who won a fight. It's not Compubox, which is a legitimate stat provider used by major boxing orgs (HBO, NBC, ESPN, etc.) and is run by computer experts. Fight Metric is the exact opposite. Hell look at what's on their website:
i.e. It's a work in progress and full of flaws.
i see what youre saying. I felt BJ started to fade from the 4th on. Imo he had rounds 1 2 3 sealed. Frankie ended the fight strong with a good 5th round, but did he do enough "beat" the champ? no way.
It's starting to irk me that people are saying that Frakie had such a GREAT fight. He didnt really do crap besides dance around like a jitterbug and land a few jabs. No serious damage done, no significant positions secured....so where was the greatness in his performance? BJ did look tired and lackluster compared to how he fought in his previous two fights, but is that justification to take the belt from him when he clearly outstriked his opponent even if he looked crappy?
I think a lot of the praise Frankie is getting is due to the takedowns because no one else had been able to do that.
However, the same can be said about BJ: no serious damage done, no significant positions secured, etc. BTW, when they called out the 50-45 scorecard I had to double check and see if it was preceded by Cecil Peoples.
Grove fight was pretty good.
Renzo: Matt give me a hand... I cant get back up.
Matt: Okay
What the hell was that? Should have just been ended right there. Hughes fought like crap in the 1st and some of the 2nd. Leg kicks saved his ass.
I thought it was classy between two vets, unlike the crap that we saw with Silva. If you didnt notice, both fighters clearly had mad respect for each other in the ring. Hughes knew Renzo was about done after he folded him with the leg kick the first time and was hesitant to keep doing it to him or to really hurt him. But of course he knew that Renzo would never give up so he eventually had to pour it on but just enough to end the fight.
'm not sure Edgar did enough to win the belt, but even BJ stood there waiting for the decision with a look on his face that showed he felt he lost. He hardly looked like the new improved strength and conditioning animal he's been in his last few fights. Edgar moved a lot, got quick shots in and got out before BJ could counter.
I agree completely with Nash in regards to Hughes helping up Gracie, very classy between two vets with high respect for each other, bravo.
Anderson Silva has proved himself to be pound for pound the biggest ****** bag in MMA. I hope George ST Pierre doesn't take the fight if it's offered to him. Dana should tear up his contract and kick his clown ass out of the UFC.
Is he trying to be a *********? I dont think he is. It does seem like he isnt taking these fights seriously. When he fought Henderson, there was no playing around. Not sure what happened to Silva.
