Boy, Zuffa and White love Forrest....I am suprised Chuck never got $30,000 just for being in the stands. Why the hell does Forrest get $60,000 to get his ass handed to him?!

In Sobrals case there was a clear tap and he did not let go until the ref forced him to. IMO a different situation altogether.

It was one of those motions that looked like a tap, but seemed like it was done accidentally, and was not the intention of the fighter. That was my impression at least.

What is it with CB and tap controversies? What a night though. No subs. All stoppages or decisions. Crazy! I was really disappointed with Nog. I guess he just had the wrong strategy and underestimated Mir's standup. He might have been trying to take it to the later rounds but it backfired. Too many punches landed. Lesnar vs Mir is gonna be a war. I thought I saw a tap from CB as well. What is it with CB and tap controversies? What a night though. No subs. All stoppages or decisions. Crazy!

He still managed to get out and I think it was a good stoppage by Mazagati. Massenzio didn't defend himself. he only has himself to blame for the stoppage.

I understand the first hit to the KO'd opponent was messed up, but legal... But hits 2 and 3 while the ref is trying to get him to stop were completely illegal and uncalled for. But instead, the UFC gives him a bonus. If I were Babalu, I'd be pissed. There is an obvious double-standard here. First BJ, and now this. Obviously if you are a star in the UFC, they don't mind bending the rules for you. I also thought it was a stupid move on Rampage's part, because doens't he have to go to court here in the near future? Isn't there defense that he isn't out-of-control...that he was just on energy drinks? Well, these antics won't help his defense.

Did his opponent not verbally submit/quit? I think that ought to count for something more than purse in which a fighter gets a show up payment/win bonus. What about Pat Barry?
