Stephan Bonnar Wants UFC 110 Loss to Be a Draw

Posted by MMA-Hits On February - 24 - 2010

( reported from an interview with  www.caged-in.com )

“It’s only fair to get this overturned to a no contest or draw,” Bonnar told Matt Erickson of Caged-In.com. “In the rules, if after two rounds a fighter suffers a cut from an illegal blow, they go to the scorecard. The judges had it one round a piece, which would have made it a draw.” At that point referee John Sharp should have stepped in, stopped the clock and asked the doctor to check the cut on Bonnar’s forehead. Instead, Sharp called out, “Keep fighting, gentlemen,” a clear indication that he wrongly believed it was a punch — not a head butt — that caused the cut.

    He's probably right.

    This guy is on another planet, the cut was from an elbow, he was owned in that fight, all he did was back up, throw the odd leg kick and attempt take downs that Crocop sprawled out of every time. He got the shit beat out of him, fair play he kept going but he was not even agressive, he was just surviving. Crocop was in no way in any danger in any time during the fight, it was easy for him. If he got accidently head butted all it did was reopen the massive cut he ahd anyway from the elbow. He didn't win a single round in that fight no way!!

  3. SWISHEV Said,

    Your retarded, first he did not fight cro cop. secondly you dont even know what you are talking about. Seriously get a clue you MMA groupie

  4. memphis Said,

  5. madona Said,

    bonnar was not the dweeb crocop fought. bonnar fought the polish experiment.. another fight

  6. Navi Said,

    can someone show me a link to his fight i still havent seen it

  7. Robert Said,

    It should be a NC. Fuck a draw. He got cut from the head butt and the elbow didn't touch his head. In the slow mode replay the elbow didn't even come near enough to MAYBE graze his head. Maybe the dudes forearm grazed the head but definitely not the elbow.

  8. Robert Said,

    And if an accidental cut from a headbutt can win a guy a fight then there might just be more accidents… Horrible decision. Who called it? Cecil Peoples?

  9. Yord Said,

    instant replay. and Bonnar your not going any where anyhow, Take the loss and continue in the UFC.

  10. Glosterdog Said,

    Shit I got the wrong fight…hahaha i am retarded! Oh for that twat who said I was an mma groupie, I've fought pro MMA, I made a mistake fuck you!!

  11. Glosterdog Said,

    Just watched the correct fight this time! Shame about the clash of heads, it was a great fight. Bonnar fought hard I can see why he is upset with the lost. Deffo NC or draw and a rematch.

  12. jesterhead1985 Said,

    does the picture above look like the guy cro cop fought? cmon man.

  13. PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE Said,

    Well, let's just say Bonner really needed the win, not that it really matters because there's no way the UFC is dropping him anytime soon. But he does have an argument for instant replays and instant rematches (if anyone cares to see it).

  14. Glosterdog Said,

    Point taken, like I said I got it wrong! Is it worth going on about it??

  15. Glosterdog Said,

    I got confused because both fights where stopped do to a huge cut on the head! Daft I know!

  16. JTalbain Said,

    I agreed with him totally, saw the fight live, and it was quite obvious to everyone but the ref that the cut was due to a headbutt. I'll say one thing; if they're gonna tell Bonnar he lost by TKO, I wanna see Jon Jones get a victory over Matt Hamill instead of his DQ.
