Honda Housey vs Meisha Tate SPOILER and PIC

[Bryan Pratt]

No doubt sure but at the price of her arm? We all know when it's over, maybe not the general public. Refs job is to protect the fighter so the fighter can fight til the end knowing the ref is there to protect. If that's how I made a living, I would want my arm. Having no doubt is for our benefit, not the fighters.

I agree 200%

Is it just me or did Rousey seem really down after the fight, like she felt bad for snapping her arm? It's hard to tell, the Russian link cut off without interviews.

Anyone else laugh when Mauro Ranallo said, "No glove lost between these two," at the start of the fight?

Captain save-a-hoe!

So refs can call in the doctor because of a cut but if the ref would have stepped in when the arm was obviously broken it would have been bad? Dumb move on Tates part because so what if she had gotten out. Her arm is still broke and the doctor would have called it anyways. Stupid

I noticed this too. I think she was just emotional. She put all that pressure on herself by trash talking so much before the fight that when it was finally over she just wanted to put all those competitive feelings aside for a while. She says something to that effect in this interview:

i disagree, an arm is not a head. You can recover from a broken arm, not brain damage. The fighter knows when the arm is going to break, if the ref gets involved they would of been uproar from meisha. Unlike head trauma, where the fighter could be oblivious to the consequences during the moment of a fight.

Is this Rome? Are you not entertained?

refs don't tap out for fighters. if that's how you made your living, i'd think that as an adult, you'd know when to tap. Miesha made her choice.

[Jeremy Gates]

What is smarter? Caught in a deep arm bar and getting your arm broke and losing the fight, spend months rehabilitating the arm (big nog) or being caught in the same arm bar and tapping, going home with all limbs in place.

i think the ref is probably an idiot, and didn't really know what was happening. but i'm happy there was no chance for controversy. we all know there would have been had it been stopped earlier.

here's some stuff nick diaz was saying about it on twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/nickdiaz209

@nickdiaz209
The refs are just as bad as the judges in this sport sad to see that go to far because of the ref

Nick is right, judges should all have a Blue belt minimum
