No longer a Benji Radach fan...

 Seriously, him appealing the Scott Smith fight is absolute bullshit. I can see BJ making a bit of a case with the grease thing but Radach is appealing because "he wasn't out".



Honestly, what a bunch of shit. Why doesn't everyone just start appealing when they get KTFO by saying "Hey, I wasn't out, I WAS STILL BREATHING!!!"

I agree with the appealing being out of character, Benji has been in some wars over the years, and Scott Smith is not known for being a dirty fighter, at all. 



Smith fought his heart out and that victory should not be tarnished by claims like these, although admittedly I don't remember seeing the fence grab, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. 



On a related note, I can't remember, did Scott Smith appeal his loss to Dave Terrell a few years ago?

I think he did appeal it and they didn't over turn it so, I truly doubt this fight is going to be over turned in anyway.

The reason I don't like this is because he is saying Smith grabbed the fence. Fence grab or not, these are rules that are enforced in the cage. If it was a one time offense, it's a warning. So, Smith would have been warned. This isn't something that never happens either. I would say it happens atleast one or 2 times in every fight that goes near the cage so, I don't see how this is different.

Then he says he feels like he would have knocked Smith out if it wasn't for that.

I guess I just don't get it. I don't see what it would do for him either. Would people forget it anymore if he won the appeal? Would people go "That's right, Smith grabbed the fence, it doesn't count", would it give Benji a title shot any faster?

I just don't see what the benefit of it is and really, it just seems like a slap in the face to Smith who came back for behind, yet again, and put on an amazing performance.

I just don't get it.

 did you really have to make another thread? why not just say it the original thread? oh yeah...i forgot...
