. The only reason i'm upset by his possible retirement is because he's an awesome fighter with so much to offer. He doesn't have to be champion for us to watch his fights, and care. My opinion of Chael Sonnen would be higher if his opinion of himself were a little bit lower. This is a fight that quite honestly should never have even happened

@Jay are you really comparing this fight to that one, as though this were a legitimate championship fight between the best in the division? This fight was an abomination.

@SRA if the injured fighter is ahead on points? No, because Belcher was the injured fighter.

Love UFC 159: iNJuries
Jaffa was on fire last night.
While Healy/Miller was deserving, I thought Siler/Holobaugh was better.
Villante got hosed but it might've been the best thing for him because both he and OSP looked like ****.
I think Jaykool was successful in getting hammered last night. I thought the stoppage was a little too early also but mostly because it robbed us as the fans, Jones, and Sonnen of a more definitive end. This could've been the greatest upset of all time, Jones could've possibly hid the injury & continued (doubt it), or most likely he would've legitimately finished it in the 1st and now we'll never know. Hardly the worst stoppage but a tad too early.

I'm not saying Biping did anything like that on purpose. I just kind of thought that could of been what happened.
