The Gomi stoppage was completely justified and Griffin acted like a child by not congratulating him. Howard looked good but obviously his wrestling isn't. Okami did more than enough to win his fight and it was no surprise that Cecil Peoples was the judge that disagreed. He needs to go. He seems to go the other way just for the sake of disagreeing--he is a bitter and idiotic man. Great to see two legends involved in the show: John McCarthy and Judo Gene LeBell. The Jones/Matyushenko stoppage was premature but supposedly Vlady verbally tapped out, so no issue there if true. He wasn't getting out of that position and Jones wasn't going to stop. Hopefully Roy Nelson was watching--that's how you finish a fight in the mounted crucifix. Pretty good show. I think Versus does a better job than Spike.
You're not allowed to camp! I forgot to put lol @ the end of my last post. I wasn't serious, I was just wondering your opinion on the stoppage of Vladdy. Yeah, I was not impressed by Griffin's sportsmanship.
Am I crazy for saying that it looked like Griffin was about to bounce back up? I mean he was out, but maybe the floor woke him up.
Yeah. Because even when he stood up after the fight was ended he almost went down again. The ref was holding him up.
That gif doesn't show it but he was laying on his stomach with his arms out. All he could do was pick his head up, he couldn't move enough to actually attempt to stand. Then as Mamba said he got up afterward and almost fell over.
