Jpones and Hamill

[hibiscusmile]

Jones disquallified due to elbowing Hamill, I am glad about that, it is not right to use the elbow like that! If he wasn't stopped, he could of killed Hamill! And what did you's think about the new guy Slice? Pretty tough, but the heavy guy topped him earlier, but still he did good!

Like you, Rebecca, I don't fight much any more, but I have to say that Hamil really lucked out by winning on a DQ. Jones was beating the (what's the word we're allowed to use? ) stuffing out of him until he caught him with that elbow. As you know, there is no rule against using the elbow, just getting caught using it, and after what he did to Jones's face, it was kinda hard to cover up!

Which event was this?

 

[hibiscusmile]

Ultimate fight was on all day yesterday on spike tv. Thanks for clearing the elbow issue up, we could not figure out why he couldnt use it, and now we know!

 

[Rick]

Was this UFC? I watch UFC and you can use elbows.

I found an article. It was a UFC fight. Announcer called it wrong. Elbows was not why he was dq'd. They can use elbows and do often.

Couldn't find the link, Rick, but I'm glad I can still use my elbows. What was he disqualified for?

So it was elbows. I guess elbows to the eye are not allowed. I've never seen anyone get in trouble for dropping elbows.

Utter confusion is the only way to describe it and of course it had to be referee Steve Mazzagatti at the center of it. Hotshot prospect Jon Jones looked to be on his way to a dominant win over Matt Hamill when the fight was stopped. It appeared Mazzagatti stopped the fight because Hamill had a nasty cut on the bridge of his nose and was unable to continue with a separated shoulder. When ring announcer Bruce Buffer announced Jones has been disqualified because of illegal elbows. The crowd, Hamill and Jones were all shocked.

Hamill appeared to have suffered a broken nose and couldn't continue. A point was taken away and then when Hamill was unable to continue, Jones was DQ'd.

Jones (9-1, 3-1 UFC) got things going with a hard trip takedown with 2:25 left in the round and easily moved to mount in seconds. Jones was crushing Hamill with punches and elbows. "Bones" got off 85 punches and elbows. On several occasions, Jones looked over to Mazzagatti to stop the fight. Jones (pictured with a shocked look), maybe a bit frustrated and looking for a way to put things to an end, made the mistake of dropping two illegal elbows. Mazzagatti stopped the fight at 4:14 and asked Hamill if he was done. Hamill (7-3, 6-3, UFC), with bloody pouring into both eyes from the laceration on his nose, didn't move.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission did employ replay for the first time.

Keith Kizer told MMAJunkie's John Morgan:

"After halting the bout, Mazzagatti asked for the replay to determine whether the illegal blows contributed to the ending of the fight. When replays showed that the elbows scored directly to the eye, the disqualification result was issued. Because the illegal blows landed as part of the sequence that ended the fight, the ruling was made."

Did you see UFC 111 this past weekend? It was the first event I ever actually paid for. Usually you can find the fights free online but the quality sucks and it often times out.

Was a pretty good event. I was hoping Mir would win but Carwin knocked him out. I like Carwin ok too though. He will go on to fight Brock and I really hope he beats that guy.

GSP dominated as usual.

NO , we talked about it, and hubby didn't want to pay for it, so we didn't!
