Bruce, true but this progress shouldn't be happening in the UFC. I bet he'd be an underdog to most WWs on Dana's Tuesday series.

That's crap to take a point. Clearly the jab that landed as he threw the kick caused it to go high. C'mon Copeland!

19-18 Nzechukwu after 2. That point was costly Stosic has to do something big in the 3rd.

A no-contest would be the perfect end to this fiasco. Either that of Copeland attacks Stosic, reveals himself as the "special referee", and then they have an arm-wrestling contest at the post-fight press conference.

I like this ref, he is honnest and think of fighter safety without scrapping the fight. 

Dominik Cruz is compeltely wrong saying that is du to soutpaw vs orthodox. The other fighter dont it him in the grouin thats fighter repsonssabillity to not do it.

actually any injury occurring after round 2 is a TKO. It was not intentional.

Nice scrambling from Kennedy and why isn't Stosic throwing uppercuts?

Stosic can't win a decision even if he wins this round. Kennedy has the decision
