LOL @ this.
Rogan was not being unprofessional or "childish".
He approached it rationally and professionally.
He asked Mario how he felt about it, and Mario agreed with Joe.
Just because he confronts problems other people won't, doesn't mean he is unprofessional.
We need people like this in MMA.
And LOL @ 9 blows to the back of the head.
White Mike Tyson - He was playing to the crowd and was harsh on Mario.
How was he harsh on him?
He literally ASKED him what he thought about his decision.
Not like he was like "Mario you fucked up for sure we all know it"
Calm down, guys.
Thread made me think again of impotent f$ckin Ratner not having the balls to overturn it. F'n horses!t.

Definite bullshit.
Nobody has the balls to make the right decision.
Or at least make the wrong one, admit the mistake and change it later.
So, side with the fighter unless the fighter disagrees with Joe Rogan, then bail on the fighter. Is that the new expectation? Jesus Christ. lol

Nobody has been siding with the fighter. That was a bullshit decision the ref made.
Pretty sure this is a giant conspiracy and Silva was doomed to lose this fight before it even happened... because if anyone else saw Steve Cofields from Yahoo's CageWriter "Recommended Picks" for this fight he went with Prater.
No sane MMA analyst would have gone with Prater as a "Best Bet".
I'm calling upon Steve to come forward and to reveal his MMA Illumaniti source who tipped him off with this inside info...
Don't leave us in the dark Steve. Bring that shining light of truth upon the Brazillian Cabal that secretly determines the outcome of all the fights not sanctioned in the US!

I never sided with the fighter on this one.
Now him calling Rogan "unethical and a wannabe" makes it worse on his part.
If you put your self in Prater's shoe you would be a little upset, if the commentator came out saying none of those punches were to the back of the head. When you know you felt them land on the back of the head.
White Mike Tyson - He was playing to the crowd and was harsh on Mario.
he was telling a referee which shots were legal as the vid was played when he saw he was wrong he trailed off.
^meant to quote "masterofmma"
32Hunter - ^meant to quote "masterofmma"
Maybe he trailed off because he didn't want to be too hard on Mario.
Cause he clearly believes it was the wrong decision.
Bad reffing is the real reason here. Not Joe, not Silva, not Prater, not anything else, period.
Not for nothing, but if I'm Prater and I just got hit with 8 shots to the back of the head and I'm laying on the ground half conscious, I'd be pretty fucking pissed too the way the situation was handled all around.
Either way I'm a fan of both Prater and Silva and hope continued success for both of them.
the ethical Yamasaki was a Judoka Bzil, comes to US and he's BJJ, lol.
Ugh this sucks. I feel Carlo has worked very hard to be in the big show and now he just made a lot of enemies. I really wish he wouldn't have came out with this. Also what's the def for back of the head? I'm very surprised he thinks 9 of those landed to the back of the head.
Until Rogan
Tazwegian - lol at the disgusting whores that go to bed at night dreaming of sucking rogan's cock.
So nobody can agree with anyone, without having to dream of the other one's cock?

You're not holding grudges? Could have fooled me. Jesus, that Silva kid was all-class when he was disqualified and reacted much better than I would have. Prater could learn a thing ro two from him. The fact is he was going to lose that fight, regardless. Admit it.
