Man...
Tough call on some of the bonuses tonight, FOTN and KOTN in particular. Especially because giving out multiple bonuses would be appropriate but cut hugely into the UFC’s profit at 129k a pop.
SOTN: Garza
KOTN: Machida & Makdessi
FOTN: Oy. Diaz-MacDonald, Bendo-Bocek, AND/OR Aldo-Hominick.
I was hoping that there would have two KO of the Nights with Machida and Makdessi.

It's a shame.
It was truly beautiful, only to be overshadowed by a once-in-a-lifetime kick. Hope they gave him a locker room bonus or something.
Wouldn't say once in a lifetime
considering we saw something almost the exact same thing happen just a couple months ago.
I did pause for a second after typing that...
You could be right. But the jumping variant I think is much less likely to ever cause a one-shot KO again. I guess we’ll see.
Yeah Danas talking about how money fucked with Machida's head
…….so lets go and give him another 129k
You know Joe, Brandon Vera is considered to be a Heavyweight George St.Pierre because he just comes, comes, and comes again... -Mike Goldberg, UFC 57
Cheick Kongo looks like a cross between Evander Holyfield and pop singer Seal!
Melvin Guilard looks like a little Kevin Randelman!
-Mike "All black people look alike to me" Goldberg, UFC 62/64
Honestly they should just have a guaranteed bonus for finishing a fight
No worrying about whether someone later in the night getting a better KO or submission, knowing there’s a guaranteed big bonus for fighting a bit riskier.
Totally agree
I have argued for this before, it makes too much sense for increasing the “watchability” of fights, which imo is critical to the future growth of MMA…

go to the live page
not always will those who dumps on you be your enemies
and not always will those who take you out of shit be your friends
Makdessi should get KOTN bonus also. Sure it wasn’t a Steven Segal/Karate kid knockout but it was fucking badass.
yea i agree, Dana has given out multiple bonuses in the past, maybe if the bonuses were 60k or 70k he would have, but 129k is a lot of money
$129k is about 1% of the live gate revenue…they could give $120k to every fighter on the card with little real affect on the bottom line for this event…

I remember hearing UFC 134 too though
I think it would be a good idea to have both your brazilian champs fighting at the first card being held in Brazil in like a decade.
Quaid!

LOL @ Aldo
“shit, didn’t you understand that? you trained a long time with him”

awesome card
I’m out, peace!

Aldo vs Mendes is going to be a really good fight. If Aldo gets tired like he did in the Hominick fight he could be in trouble.
I'm very interested in this fight...
(Probably because i’m a Chad Mendes nut hugger, but oh well.)
Mendes’ striking has improved tenfold, and of course he’s a great wrestler as well.
Interesting stylistic matchup.

GSP couldn't make it for a scratched eye?
A f*cking scratched eye? Are you kidding me? Yeah, he really cares about the fans. What? They had to do immediate surgery on it? I wonder how long of a medical suspension he’s gonna get for that scratched eye? Lame.
Just Breed!
Have you ever had a scratched eye? It’s not cool. If you don’t determine the seriousness of it fast and treat it you could loose vision in your eye permanently. I’ve had a scratched eye, so I know the deal. Your comment: lame.

Agreed. I had no idea how serious a scratched eye is.
I heard the word “scratched” and based my opinion off that. They should change the name to a lacerated eye, I think it would be more fitting.
Just Breed!
Just don’t jump to (bad) conclusions and you should be alright.

Yeah I today I feel kinda stupid.

S’all good dude. Sometimes it’s the dumbest sounding injuries that can have the worst lasting results. When it comes to your own health/life, it always takes precedent over a silly press conference.
by theuprightman on May 1, 2011 12:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Retarded.
Your comment is retarded. A scratched eye – any damage to the eye – is nothing to scoff at. Let’s see you risk going blind and like it.

No shit
you can’t tell if your eye is injured unless you get checked out by a specialist.
His corner was just trying to calm him down during the fight too, you can tell how freaked out he was by it.
So I'm confused, when a doctor checks a fighters eye
during a fight after a poke- Is he qualified to check it and let the fight continue or does he need to see a specialist?
I’m not trolling. Serious question.
Just Breed!
The doctor normally checks if they can still see through that eye but they normally only check on the fighter’s eye if there is too much blood getting into it or if it swollen shut.
It was already clear that GSP’s eye was fucked but the doctor didn’t check him out until after the fight, then he probably went to the specialist to see what is causing the injury. There might be something like a scratched cornea or maybe even a detached retina.
Something similar happened to Alan Belcher. he was just sparring like usual but then he started to lose vision out of his right eye. Got it checked out by a specialist and said he needed to get surgery. I think there were talks that he might not be able to fight again too.
Cool, Thank you for answering my question.
It makes sense now.
What I posted before was the only logical explanation at the time in my mind.
Just Breed!
Someone on the internet politely admitting they might have been mistaken?!

Fighters constantly get poked and gouged in the eye,
take a break and keep fighting. I think Kos/Johnson comes to mind.
Just Breed!
That's what I'm sayin DIPSHIT-
If it was that serious- why didn’t he hold his eye and hold out one hand and have the doctor come over and check it out? I mean if it’s that serious of an injury why would you take the chance of getting hit in that eye for the next 3 rounds when you can’t even see out of it? And then go to the hospital right after the fight when there is no other danger of harming it fo a 20 min press conference?
Just Breed!
Hes not going to quit in the fight and its just a dumb press conference, his eye is more important than answering a couple of standard questions he gets asked every day from the fans. Here is what his answers would look like:
“I’m not thinking about my next fight right now”
“I’m not happy with my performance”
“its up to the ufc”
“was great honor to fight in toronto”
I guess you're right.
Really never hear anything profound at a PC unless its coming from DFW.
Just Breed!
tard bag
if he held out his hand and told the doctor he couldn’t see, the fight would be over. So he listened to the advice of his corner, gutted it out. Once the fight was over, there was no real need to put himself in jeopardy. So he excused himself, and attended to his health. He did what he had to do during the fight, once it was over he took care of himself. Really not that hard to understand
Everybody else has made logical points except you
and I’ve conceded to all of their point except yours. I didn’t say for him to tell the doctor he couldn’t see but if he was that concerned with it to have him check it out and take the break.
GSP rarely takes risks and I don’t see him trying to continue a fight with only one eye and put his belt and legacy in jeapordy. If it was that bad, I think h would of taken the NC instead of RISKING a loss cuz he ain’t risking anything during a fight you TARD BAG (whatever that is).
Just Breed!
I don’t think it would have been a no contest. Would have been a loss unless Herb Dean saw it as an eye poke. I believe it was a punch though.
Makes sense.
It wasn’t caused by an illegal move so it wouldn’t be a no contest. Since it was caused by a legal move and GSP would of been unable to continue, it would have been deemed a loss.
Thanks for explaining these things to me. I’m not a fighter and I don’t practice any martial art. I’m just a highly emotional fan who posts things without thinking on occasion. I appreciate the leneincy, patience, and education I’ve reiceived from these comments.
Just Breed!

Eye injuries should not be taken lightly
Look at what happened to Alan Belcher. Dude got sidelined for almost a year and seemed to go through rehab hell. I remember him saying that he must stay in the dark with his head facing down for his rehab.

OK I might of been high on emotion and over reacted when I posted that comment.
I honestly thought he didn’t want to answer ?s about Superfights or taking MMA to the next level after that disappointing performance.
Just Breed!
Anybody got any Machida jump kicks pics or gifs?

Man, I kept watching the replays after the fight, looking for a tooth flying out of his mouth. I hate myself for saying that.

Like I said...
…SNORING all the way through a retarded main event… MAD props for Madkessin(?) with the spinning back fist ko.. That was great. I am starting to hate GSP fights cause he is soooo boring. Wanderlei says it best on the win or losing side— He wants to have fights that make people excited… GSP becoming the Mayweather of MMA to me.
the difference between gsp and mayweather is
Gsp doesn’t handpick his opponents. He fights whoever he is told to and beats them easy.
If he can beat the top contenders with little more than a jab, why is he the one to receive criticism?
Makdessi vs Jermey Stephens
since Barboza for UFC 133 is booked and Stephens should have no injuries after his next fight (he’s gonna kill brookins)
Is there no full version of the press conference?
I fell asleep, it was at 6am. Now the UFC’s just showing chopped up bits and pieces.
By which I mean
Here’s the link to the full version of the press conference.
Move the slider to around 2 hours 29min 25sec. Hard to tell the exact time the conference starts.
Bullshit that they didn't give out two KOTN - Makdessi deserved it for the spinning backfist
Also, how do you run 3 hour PPV show, and 1 hour Spike prelims, and manage to not show that spinning backfist KO? I was lucky enough to watch it live on the FB stream, but come on. I know it was in the third round, but man, if you don’t have the time to show the whole fight then at least just show the finish somewhere in there. One of the most epic knock-outs I’ve seen in a very long time, it’s just stupid that they would deprive the common man of that shit. And yeah I mean the Machida karate kid KO was probably even more sick, but come on, if there has ever been a time for two KO bonuses, it was this event. And lord knows they made enough revenue that they could afford it. Overall I really enjoyed the event of course but this annoyed me.
/end rant
I'm sure he got a locker room bonus.
But I get you – They have given official joint bonuses before now.
They did? Well.. that’s strange. Missed it on my broadcast. But, good, I guess.
