Paid Members Deaq Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Does it really matter though? Thompson having another loss on his record isn't going to make the difference as far as him getting a call-up to the UFC anytime soon, is it? He took a freakshow fight against a guy who has had an entire Russian MMA organisation built around him. You know that you either have to beat him comprehensively or stop him.  Thing is i'm guessing there is winner purse he will be losing, as a guy who has to take the freak fights he prob wants all the money he can.

No doubt the decisions been changed due to the massive backlash of bad press for the company due to this decision. I guess that's the one thing about america having athletic commissions instead of appointing their own judges.  I wonder with this being ruled a no contest if it did indeed increase the money Thompson was due.

Â I would guess it gets split between the fighters so he is still out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â A Leben-less year is a sad year indeed. Â Well I use it just before I go to sleep helps me to drop off, So maybe he uses it to numb the pain after a hard day training making relaxing easier?

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Whatever the reason, he's a fucking moron. Â Agreed. Let's hope he means what he said in his statement rather than it being an obligatory apology. Hopefully he's woken up and realised that there's no way you can get away with shit like this in 2011.

I couldnt stop laughing when Thompson went on his tirade, fortunately the massive Polish people watching itl also found it funny. Felt bad for him but it was always going to happen if it went to the judges. The Polish really bloody love Mariusz though, and Khalidov, although he looked alright against Jessy Taylor.
