Aaron Simpson just got KTFO.

**Xno Kappa** · 2013-03-23 21:51

I like how Burkman asked for a title shot for a title that doesn't even exist lol.

**Hitoshura** · 2013-03-23 21:54

LOL seriously, wtf was that shit? Didn't Sefo say that they were doing tourny's? Rumble vs Arlovski about to go down!

Edit: Nevermind, one more fight to go.

**Hitoshura** · 2013-03-23 22:16

lmao this guy talks funny. Badass head kick K.O, reminded me of CC.

Edit: end of round 2, rumble just gassed horribly, kept falling to his knees attempting a TD.

***Blarg*** · 2013-03-23 22:49

So I answered the phone for a bit in this fight. Did AJ think he won the fight for a second, I remember arlovski being down on the ground for a bit but then that's where I stopped watching

**Plow** · 2013-03-24 00:19

I am shocked and appalled by that decision

Spoiler: show

open letter from korean zombie to gsp:

"Dear Mr. Georges St. Pierre

Hi, My name is Chan Sung Jung from South Korea. As one of many Koreans who like you as an incredible athlete, I feel like I should tell you that many Korean fans, including myself, were shocked to see you in your gi designed after the Japanese 'Rising Sun Flag'. For Asians, this flag is a symbol of war crimes, much like the German Hakenkreuzflagge. Did you know that? I hope not.

Just like Nazis, the Japanese also committed atrocities under the name of 'Militarism'. You can easily learn what they've done by googling (please do), although it's only the tiny tip of an enormous iceberg.

Furthermore, the Japanese Government never gave a sincere apology, and still to this day, so many victims are dying in pain, heartbroken, without being compensated. But many westerners like to wear clothes designed after the symbol under which so many war crimes and so much tragedy happened, which is ridiculous.

I know most of them are not militarists. I know most of them do not approve unjustified invasion, torture, massacre, etc. They're just ignorant. It's such a shame that many westerners are not aware of this tragic fact. Wearing Rising Sun outfits is as bad as wearing clothes with the Nazi mark on it, if not worse.

Since you're influenced by Japanese Martial Arts, your wearing a headband designed after Japanese flag is understandable. But again, that huge 'Rising Sun' on your Gi means something else.

Many people say GSP is the best Welterweight fighter throughout history, to which I totally agree. This means you have a great influence on every single fan of yours all around the world. And I do believe your wearing 'the symbol of War Crime' is a very bad example for them, not to mention for yourself.

So, what do you reckon?

Do you want to wear the same Gi next time as well?"

**Brill Weave** · 2013-03-25 08:09

Sadly he's right. But I find it odd that he would choose to call out GSP over it now instead of ya know, his entire career that he's been wearing it.

**tyven** · 2013-03-25 08:40

maybe he has never bothered with a gsp fight until now because of how fucking boring he is. KZ is a man of action and wanted to watch fellow man of action Nick Diaz.

Brilliant

**AidenCarby** · 2013-03-25 16:14

Lol'd, GSP to be a villain in Captain America 2.

**Matthias** · 2013-03-25 16:50

ha yeah i saw that too plus this:

"Since Georges St-Pierre wore our walkout gi at UFC 158 we have received attention surrounding the negative connotation of the rising sun graphic used. The last thing we want is to offend or alienate anyone with the choice of design on our products.

We at Hayabusa have the utmost respect for culture and history and appreciate all of our customers worldwide. As such, we accept full responsibility for this design and are taking all complaints and comments very seriously.

The gi worn by GSP will not be brought to market. In addition, we will be very conscious of this specific design element when developing future communication materials and products.

**Rhyis.** · 2013-03-25 20:37

He stopped training UFC.

**Hitoshura** · 2013-03-25 20:39

Yeah that end of round 1 was about as bad as Silva vs Franklin 2's lool.

**Matthias** · 2013-03-26 14:47

what ever happened to brandon vera? he was all hot last year after his fight with shogun, but then i haven't heard of anything about him since.

**Rhyis.** · 2013-03-26 15:06

He's busy being the HW and LHW champion.

**Brill Weave** · 2013-03-27 06:28

Seriously, Nick, let it go dood. You got worked over for 5 rounds and couldn't do shit.

Even when it’s all over, it’s not all over. At least that’s the case with the UFC 158 main event between welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz.

The Diaz camp is accusing the Quebec commission of irregularities in how it handled the UFC 158 weigh-ins and drug tests, and is filing an official complaint.

A video posted to BJPenn.com shows UFC Senior Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs and Assistant General Counsel Michael Mersh explaining to the Diaz camp, just prior to weigh-ins, that St-Pierre and Diaz have an hour allowance, if needed, to make weight if either one of them misses the mark, something that was not available to the rest of the fight card.

Mersh went on to explain that the Quebec commission, the Régie des Alcools, des Courses et des Jeux, does not count decimals when weighing the fighters, so that for their bout, either fighter could weigh up to 170.9 pounds, but it would be recorded as 170 pounds, thus making weight.

This is counter to most other commissions in North America.

Quebec commission representative Joyce Tremblay confirmed such in an email to MMAFighting, but also declared that none of the fighters was in violation of the weights set for in their contract.

“I wish to inform you that, during UFC 158, no contestants exceeded the weight determined in their contracts,” said Tremblay. “Currently, the Régie does take into consideration the maximum weight determined by contract when it carries out the weight-ins before a bout. However, our regulation on combat sports does not take decimals into account. Their consideration is a question of interpretation likely to be debated between the two parties under contract.”

Jonathan Tweedale, a representative of the Diaz camp, on Tuesday issued a statement about the situation to MMAWeekly.com, accusing the commission of not operating within the contractually agreed upon parameters of the fight.

“The Quebec Commission’s statement is a disappointing admission that the March 16 event was not conducted under the rules applicable to a UFC title fight – or under the rules the fighters contractually agreed to, upon which rules Mr. Diaz was entitled to rely under his bout agreement,” wrote Tweedale.

“The contracted weight for this fight was 170 pounds. 170.9 is not 170, anywhere in the world, for a title fight,” he continued. “There is no question what ‘170 pounds’ means, in the bout agreement, as a matter of contractual interpretation.

“The Quebec Commission deliberately relaxed the rule in this case and, by its own admission, allowed their home-town fighter to ‘make weight’ even if he weighed more than the contracted weight.”

Tweedale goes on to point out that the proposed one-hour of added time flaunts the commission’s own rules, citing section 77 of the commission’s regulations that does not allow time for a contestant to increase or decrease weight, and pointed out the “Quebec Commission’s failure to supervise fighters’ provision of samples in connection with testing for Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods.”

Tweedale and Diaz’s camp fell short of accusing St-Pierre of missing weight, instead targeting the Quebec commission’s application or lack thereof of its own regulations and procedures and how it may have affected the legality of the fight.

He did note that an official complaint would be filed immediately and declared that St-Pierre should either agree to fight Diaz at 170 pounds or vacate the belt.

“In the circumstances,” wrote Tweedale, “Mr. St-Pierre remains legally and ethically obligated to fight Mr. Diaz at 170 pounds or else vacate the belt in favor of those prepared to fight at welterweight.”

- Toxic plane water.
- No one told him when to sleep.
- Didn't grow accustom to the time-zone difference.
- GSP had loaded gloves.
- No one would help him during training camp.
- GSP might be on steroids.
- Diaz received a mysterious phantom cut over his eye during the fight.
- A spy leaked information to GSP.
- No one wants to go to Lodi.
- GSP was maybe .09 pounds over, which is still legal with the QAC and was explained to both camps before the weigh-in's.

Am I missing anything? A few years back it was funny, but now it's just downright pathetic.

**Rhyis.** · 2013-03-27 12:59

To be fair, GSP is probably on PEDs.
