I worked with a show this weekend where a fighter actually spit on another fighter. this was after he choked him unconscience (no tap), and then continued to strike losing fighter while he was out.
another fighter won via thumb to the throat. it was ruled a guillotine, but the thumbnail imprint in the losing fighters adam's apple, and the puke on the matt state otherwise.
one fighter yelled "fuck y'all" at the fans after his loss. granted, they didn't treat him well for a good fight, you don't yell at the fans.
-------------------------------------
it's one thing for a promoter to say "fuck that guy" and not book him anymore, it's another ballgame to call the fighter, and say that you aren't going to use him for a while because he did X.
i think this promoter going ahead and suspending these guys is a good idea. it's just for their shows in an unsanctioned fight in WISCO, but it's money out of their pocket, and hopefully they learn a lesson.
it's good for the sport. and i would love to hear other promoters thoughts on what this guy did.
would you call a guy and tell him why he messed up, or just not use him anymore without reason?
Word?
whurd
that's what i'm saying. if a promoter suspends them, they just crossed one paycheck off their list.
Where was this event?
Wisco=Wisconsin
Milwaukee is the shit bitches!
"I worked with a show this weekend where a fighter actually spit on another fighter. this was after he choked him unconscience (no tap), and then continued to strike losing fighter while he was out."
Not defending the fighter's actions in any way but that sounds like some questionable reffing...
If you choke a person to the point where they lose their conscience you should be suspended.
Who puked on Matt State?
TTT for Orion, best ref in the game.
Lynn Marie - If you choke a person to the point where they lose their conscience you should be suspended.
Did you actually think about this before you typed it? Ever consider that people don't tap?
lol, he didn't tap, can't blame the fighter for holding.
and yes, the ref sucks. i've been at several shows he has done, and he sucks.
Maybe I am thick, but what does a suspension accomplish that a gold old fashioned firing does not?
If the promoter comes to you and says "we are terminating your contract because your despicable behavior in the cage" won't that be just as effective, if not more effective, than a suspension?
maybe you shouldnt put on shows...well with guys who have never fought maybe get the guys from a gym not a bar..its the quality of the people they attract but i bet on the back side the paydays wernt good so you got shitty fighters pretty simple!!!
uhh see Chris Leben and Zuffa from when he fought in the UK
