UFC on FX 2: Alves vs. Kampmann, Flyweight Tourney (3/2 on FX)

[SHOGUN]

Pointfighting claims another fighter in Thiago Alves. He had Kampmann on the ropes and then just drops for double leg like a dumbass, then gets reversed and guillotined.

Soooooo stupid. :facepalm:

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Another UFC show delivers. Two good shows in the last week.

Strikeforce should be good tmw, too.

 

[EmpireWF]

Awesome finish, good for Kampmann.

Down with the crazy weight cutters.

 

[trojan49er]

Creepy got robbed...he dominated the third

 

[EmpireWF]

WOW

They announced at the post-fight presser that the fight was scored a draw but the result was read incorrectly. THEY SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT A 4TH ROUND!!!

Talk about an epic fuck up by the commission.

They want to have a rematch next month.

Read incorrectly, or tallied incorrectly? Buffer has done that before (a lot, actually).

 

[EmpireWF]

tallied incorrectly. It was on the commission.

Buffer has messed it up in the past, as I understand it, it was wrong when he got it.

Yeah, Dana confirmed this.

LOL. What a disaster.

Look at it this way, now we get to see three more rounds of these two guys (fresh), instead of one round. Not the worst thing, I guess.

 

[trojan49er]

wow...thats a huge fuck up

As it turned out, the scoring was not only announced wrong but the first reports were wrong. It was actually a draw because two judges had it even.


We've gotten so many conflicting stories on the cards. This is what the actual cards were:

Sal D'Amato had draw
10-9 Johnson
10-9 Johnson
10-8 McCall

This was read incorrectly on the air as Johnson winning.

Kon Papai
10-9 Johnson
10-9 Johnson
10-9 McCall

This was read correctly on the air as Johnson winning.

Anthony Dimitriou
10-9 Johnson
10-10 draw
10-9 McCall

This was read incorrectly on the air as McCall winning.


It should have gone to a fourth round. The commission admitted they screwed up in adding, although after Bruce Buffer announced it giving scores that would make it a split decision, he called it a majority decision, which implied two judges for Johnson and one even.

It wasn't until the press conference when they found out about the 10-8 round on the D'Amato scorecard meaning two judges had it even.


Ian McCall vs. Demetrious Johnson are going to have a rematch in a few months, with UFC looking at doing it in April if both men are okay with it. Neither appeared to be seriously hurt in the fight. Dana White was furious about how this all went down, as you can imagine.

So Buffer, as usual, screwed up too. By saying 'majority decision', it didn't tip off the judges that he had the wrong scores. Papai had Johnson and just figured one of the others did also, with the third having a draw. The other two judges had a draw, so probably figured each of the other two had Johnson. All three likely thought the only screw up Buffer made was announcing McCall taking a round. Had Buffer said split decision, it would have tipped off the two judges that scored it a draw that there was a problem.

I know this is on the commission, but Buffer is partly to blame. He always does this, and this time it contributed to a mess.

Eh, everyone messed up. The judge who couldn't write clearly enough. The commission for not being able to calculate the #s. Buffer for announcing split/majority incorrectly.

Meltzer said D'Amato (who had the draw) didn't speak up till later in the night that they misread his score.

In the end, both guys got their win bonuses and they'll come back next month.

Imagine if this shit could've happened in the past?

Who knew writing a # on a piece of paper and totaling them was so difficult.
