Destroys Cyborg with a devastating flying knee - Puts on an Ash Ketchum hat - And throws a pokeball at him.

lololololol

In the replay it looked like Cyborg was really hurt from that knee, not that that's unusual or anything.

Yeah I agree. Never seen anyone grab there head and start kicking their legs like that. Pretty nuts.

Fractured skull or something? They tweeted that.

I didn't enjoy the whole Pokemon thing too much anymore after I found out about that.

Bellator are idiots. They were tweeting out clips of that finish before it even aired. Spoiling the fight for everyone. Very clever.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I listened to Hunt's interview where he talked about being pissed regarding Brock and Bigfoot popping hot after fights and talking about the purse money deal and honestly I have a hard time disagreeing with him.

If missing weight gives the opponent 20 percent then I think PEDs should at least be the same, if not even more, he'll maybe even significantly more

It's really bad sportsmanship imo. I get that it's fighting but to roll a Pokemon ball or whatever at some dude laying on the ground with a fractured skull is disgusting. It's weird bellator matched these two up. Evidently his skull fractured above his orbital, to me it looked like knee on the chin. There must have been some serious forces behind it.

MVP is kinda known for being real cocky though. Also to be fair, he didn't know he caved the guys skull in when doing his pre planned celebration.

In retrospect it's kinda crappy, but it was all in good fun when it happened.

I agree putting the results all over the internet 4 hours before the event was aired was EXTREMELY lame though. I was gonna watch the Bellator event with some buddys but after that we didn't bother.

Ending up watching EBI 7 instead, and glad I did. It was insanely awesome.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I didn't even know event wasn't live, as my on screen guide said event was live. I was looking up fighter stats and read results accidently.

yeah I just hopped on facebook at like 5pm(Event doesn't air till 9) and all the fight results were all over the place. I was pretty pissed off to be honest.

Oh well.

Wonder how many viewers they lost because of that?

I missed the pokemon ball, that was funny, but yeah bad sportsmanship. I heard him mention it in the post fight interview, but didn't notice it after the fight. Even if he wasn't hurt, it would still be bad to do that.

I knew it wasn't going to be live, but forgot on Saturday until I started watching. Thankfully I was busy and didn't check anything most of the day.

I avoided all of Twitter and Facebook yesterday because I knew I would be out most of the night and didnt want to have the Bellator event or the Wilder fight.

Dude beat me to it, already had image URL copied.

Hope his surgery and recovery go well. His ex wife Cyborg started go fund me because Bellator is supposed to pick up hospital tab but most likely he won't be working for quite sometime.

Curious if its even possible to spar again after injury like that.

Re: MVP shenanigans

I see nothing wrong with it. The fighters are their brand and they need to get/keep their names buzzing as much as possible. That celebration was RT'd all day and I saw guys that aren't even fans of MMA talking about it. Gotta make a name for yourself and it, literally, pays to have a personality.

As for cyborg, he has a gofundme set up to pay his medical costs. How does Bellator not cover that?!

I haven't seen the celebration (just the guy in a pokeball hat) but if it's true it was pre-planned and MVP didn't know he crushed Cyborg's forehead in then I'm cool with it. And how does Bellator not cover those injuries, seriously?

**Dave_S** · 07-17-2016, 07:54 PM

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

On my TV I could dude was seriously injured, and even before I knew the extent of the injuries I thought it was in bad taste. Dude went down holding his face and kicking his legs.

I get he's trying to promote himself, but none of my favorite fighters do anything remotely close to that and most of them are extremely famous.

That's just the way I see things, I know I'm in the minority in the way I view things.
