After a long and extensive process, esteemed colleague Brent Brookhouse and I are proud to bring you the 2011 Bloody Elbow Tournament of Bad, an idea from the local Chicago sports radio show, Boers and Bernstein. The concept is simple: compile a list of 64 of the worst things related to the sport of MMA and pit them against one another in an NCAA Tournament-style bracket. You, the readers, vote on each match up until we have our ultimate champion.
Make sure you check out the first part of Elite Eight voting in the Jon Hess and Art Jimmerson Regions and the full bracket.
Today we end the regional matchups before heading into the championship rounds next week.
Harold Howard Regional Final
(7) UFC's Youtube policy vs. (12) Aleksander Emelianenko competing with Hepatitis C
Steven Jennum Regional Final
(2) Bob Reilly, and the (lack of) regulation in NY vs. (8) Cecil Peoples, in every form

Voting after the jump. Polls close at midnight ET tomorrow.

Youtube / Peoples.
Why?
No one worth their salt would agree to fight A. Emelianenko, and no commission worth their salt would let him fight.
As for Reily/Peoples… Peoples ain’t goin’ nowhere anytime soon. Reily and the NYC thing are temporary. Peoples will still be working in MMA long after MMA happens in NYC.
The dude abides.
If people in New York gave half a fuck, it would get done.
It’s not a big issue to them or to the world at large. In fact, it barely even matters to MMA in general. It’s one state that isn’t some super hotbed of wrestling talent like Iowa nor is it a Mecca that would make the sport popular. It’s not really serious bad, it’s not even funny joke tournament bad. The obsession MMA fans have with New York is goddamn baffling.
Peoples is terrible… in every form. All of them.

so true
plus they already have MMA in jersey.
white has convinced himself that getting into MSG is the be all and end all. the only people in manhattan that care about mma are canadian expats.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Let there be green.

As a New Yohkuh
I do – in fact – give one half of one fuck. But that is all.
Cecil Peoples is worse than a dearth of Affliction-wearing schmucks engorging midtown. We’re still suffering from the Jersey Shore debacle, the Williamsburg Hipster Crisis, and now Weinergate.
Once the UFC stops promoting the RIP IT INTO PIECES Jock Mentality I’m sure we’ll have MMA in the Apple, but right now it’s not our most pressing issue.
Jab, jab, towards, short, fierce.

Surprised that MMA in New York has made it this far
I always figured people that don’t live in New York don’t give a shit.
i only voted against Peoples because I don't want to see him anymore
Who's the only one here who knows illegal ninja moves from the government?
So by definition of this tourney,
shouldn’t that mean you vote FOR him?

If Cecile people ends up against bad MMA judging, I don’t know what I will do.

Cecil Peoples is bad judging

With the UFC softening up to Youtube, I chose Aleks by default.
I hope Peoples has a Twitter account (even though I’ve never Twitter’d) so that when he wins it all, everyone can just jam up his whole page with links to the series.
Can the Bloody Elbow community do what no one has done before? Shame him out of MMA forever? Only time will tell…

I have Peoples dominating the finals against MMA judging then losing a 50-45 decision.

Hep C —> In-Octagon disease is simply off-the-charts disgusting.→ I’m an Anarcho-Austro-Libertarian and even I think there ought to be a law forbidding him from being within 10 miles of an MMA event.

Huh... Look at that.
Apparently, the arrow sign is the strike through sign on this site.

I’m looking forward to the end of this tournament.
So I never need to look at that repugnant photo of a filthy Russian.
Here's the breakdown
Cecil comes out at the bell with a couple of furious leg kicks, immediately slowing Reileys roll. He continues to dictate the action by working from range and controlling the flow of this round. Excellent is the footwork of Cecil Peoples. He lands a thunderous body kick and continues to push the action. The bell sounds. Cecil Peoples scores it 10-9 for Bob Reiley.
