No… joe is delusional. Sexyama won the last two rounds easily

I dont’ think he got robbed. I had Akiyama as well. I don’t know how the scorecards were so different though. I may be wrong, but I thought he won the fight easy.

Alan got robbed !

No I don’t think he was, but Akiyama certainly didnt win all 3 rounds.

Well, I thought that while it was close….Akiyama won as well. There was NO robbery involved. Just a close fight.

Sexyama won joe is a hater

Akiyama won Round 2 & 3 . Joe’s been smokin to much lately.

I thought it was a close fight, but I had Akiyama. Joe’s patriotic bias is pretty blatant, as I’ve seen far more controversial decisions, where Joe didn’t say a peep. He’d just say it’s a hard fight to score, or that he doesn’t envy the judges. But to exclaim that Belcher got “F’n” ROBBED with capital letters for further emphasis, exposes his partisanship to say the least.

There is nothing on Bisping after the fight???

HELL YEA Belcher got robbed! 30/27 c-mon WTF? I dont want, or even care, to see Belcher fight (after his last fight with his shorts up his ass) So an Akiyama win was cool, but it was a robbery!

Hey Kev, I sent you back an E-Mail Homie!!! I agree with you. I was just alittle hammered and pumped last night.

absolutely, i cant believe byrd scored the fight every round for akiyama…its ridiculous that he didnt see one single round where belcher won…not one single round…that is ridiculous..

even if he felt belcher didnt win the fight i still cant see where he didnt think belcher didnt win one round…the 2nd or the 3rd…and scored it 29-28 for akiyama then akiyama still would have won..but to watch that same fight i watched and to think that belcher didnt win won single round in byrd’s eyes was a travesty..

it was close but i had belcher winning a split. 30-27 was ridiculous. but it was a good fight maybe he’ll get bisping next lol

Whether or not Belcher got robbed, I still don’t think this “Sexy” is ready for the top contenders in the middleweight division. I can’ see him beating Marquardt, Maia, Franklin, Hendo much less Anderson Silva.

wow i guess i know what to do in my first mma fight lose the whole time and then jump off the cage with a super man punch to win the fight and have joe rogan as my judge…only one judge. dude this is going to be easy! Akiyama won that fight fair and square. alan never landed a solid combination…joe rogan himself said alan needed to do something in the second and third round to win. akiyama had center control in 2nd and 3rd round. and landed more combination and just had top control whenit went to the ground.

i got robbed for having to watch that crap. would rather see jon jones

Watching it live last night, I said Akiyama won, i guess I have to go back and watch it 100 times

the first time i saw the fight live i thought alan got robbed but upon watching it again it was defo 29-28.he landed the better combos and had side control several times.one thing i couldnt help but notice was how undersized he was for a mw.belcher dwarfed him and hes not even considered a big mw.i think its time for sexyama to get with a good wrestling team and learn how to cut weight.

Akiyama did win, so easy to see…
I think he won on most aspects of the game, not the clinch game though but everything else.

Got robbed

completely off topic but i had to post it…

how fucking cool would it be to see marquardt/hendo…

that would be sick…actually hendo against the winner of nate/maia would be sick…

but nate/hendo…now thats a fucking fight id love to see…thats some shit the fans would EAT THE FUCK UP..

I was hoping Belcher would win, but after kicking the guy in the balls, and got taken down in the final seconds of the 3rd, I can’t complain about a split decision loss.
I’m guessing the judges also gave akiyama the benefit of the doubt, maybe he would’ve put on a better performance if not hit down there.

It was a close fight but I thought Belcher won.

Another case of biased commentary by Joe Rogan. If you watch the fight on mute Akiyama won the fight with his takedowns and pushing the pace of the fight. I think everybody keeps saying he got robbed because you can’t help but to listen to Joe Rogan’s boisterous comments. “GREAT LEG KICKS BY BELCHER!! AKIYAMA IS TIRED MIKE, HE GOT ROBBED”

Great 1rst fight to kick of UFC 100. It was close fight but I defintely had Akiyama winning a close split decision.

I didn’t seem to hear a lot of this when Sanchez barely won by a split decision over Guida, all one judge had to do was score one round differently and he would have been robbed. In all honesty, when I watched rounds 1 and 3 of this fight, it was up in the air, either of the fighters could have taken either round so even though the 30-27 was surprising, it wasn’t a terrible call nor a robbery.

Akiyama won, 29-28.

i thought Akiyama won all 3 rounds barely… so a 30-27 looks much worse then it really is.

The first and third rounds were really close, with Belcher maybe taking the first for the knockdown, and Sexyama taking the third for his knockdown. The second round was all Akiyama though, and that can not be debated. Belcher landed a good deal of leg kicks and did a lot of damage with them, and although when mixed up with other strikes leg kicks score big, 30 leg kicks alone do not constitute winning a decision. The leaping superman punch off the cage was flashy, and pretty cool to watch, but how much damage did it really do?

I would have scored this fight 29-28 Sexyama with an unbiased opinion, as I really have no interest in either of these fighters

Taken overall as a fight, Alan Belcher won, IMO. I was surprised when he didn’t get the nod. But it was one that had enough action to make a case for Akiyama.

It wasn’t like the Bisping/Hamill fight. That was a travesty. Robbed is a bit of an exaggeration for what happened to Belcher. I’d like to see the striking stats on the bout. I think Belcher landed a lot more shots. But Sexyama was fortunate to get some takedowns, tho he didn’t do much with them.

Akiyama won fair and square it could of been a draw but no way did i see belcher winning it he did’nt do enough as gassed as akiyama was

Joe Rogan calls lots of fights wrong. I remember after the Henderson Franklin fight he thought that Franklin had been robbed.

I thought Sexyama won it and I thought it was going to a SD decision because on the close ones it always seems like one judges screws up. 30-27 wtf!

I had Akiyama 29-28, though it was a close fight

One valid point here, if you don’t want any controversy then don’t let it go to the judge’s score cards. Yes it was a very close fight. And imo could have gone either way. I had Yama winning the fight, but when it was about to be announced i wouldn’t have been suprised if they had given it to Belcher. Either way when its too close to call someone always thinks they got screwed. Like i said don’t let it get to the judges then

Ugliest Johny Cash tattoo ever

The commentary of the fight was terribly one sided, Rogan and Goldie were talking up Belcher and repeating stuff like Akiyama is tired, he’s hurt, etc. I thought Akiyama won the last two rounds easily and thus the fight, but like it was previously mentioned, if Rogan keeps saying Belcher got robbed then people are going to talk about it and maybe agree with him, even if he’s wrong.

“Robbed” is a term best left for true decision robberies or fights whose decisions were legitimately questionable, like Hamill/Bisping, Griffin/Guida, Rampage/Griffin, Uno/Fisher, etc.

Maybe it was scored 30-27 because of the Sexy factor?

Yea I don’t think belcher won
It was close but the takedowns pulled it off

belcher lost.he got round 0ne

i can’t complain. i had it very close. if it were up to me, i though belcher won. at the end of the day, i don’t really care.

Belcher was raped. Sexy is tough but he got handled.

Belcher lost due to new and uncalled for hair style… bagarty

I agreed with 29-28 Akiyama, but it was not really a robbery like Hamill-Bisping.

And it is Sexyama, so it is already all forgiven.

i felt like he got robrd but thats y u cant let it go 2 the decision.. he should hav finished him in the 1st.. he def did more damage but but sexyma controlled the pace and wer it went he didnt do much damage.

I had Akiyama 29-28. Not sure what Rogan was smoking? Well actually I probably do.

Not sure what it is about Belcher… but i don’t feel sorry for him after this outcome

i really think the dec was right, in the first they were slugging till belcher caught aki(for short) but then belcher got taken down, in the second belcher was on his back alot, in the third i do think belcher may hav won that round but he did get taken down for a sec..

man i loved hendo’s ko over bisping, i was hoping hendo broke his jaw

i was ringside and i would say akiyama may have won the fight based on those couple takedowns which scored points, but belcher definitly did more damage. i would be surprised if akiyama can even walk today

Rewatched it and Akiyama clearly won 29-28. The takedowns were the difference.

I thought Akiyama clearly won 29-28.

Belcher obviousy won the last round, but Sexy won the first two. Belcher could have won the fight since Akiyama was gassed so early. Akiyama had the more effective stikeing through out most of the fight.

Sexyama wond clearly. He had more takedowns, maintained top position, and he also hit a couple kick counters where he caught the kick and straight dropped Alan. Akiyama also scored many combinations with his superior boxing. Belcher scored clean with leg kicks but really not much else.

belcher won rounds 1 and 3 if your score the take downs in a fight i think you should also score the escape’s and belcher was never on his back for to long and those legs kicks are what really decided the fight to me but im not a judge so at the end of the day no point on cryin about it

akiyama won. rogan is always stoned at the shows anyway.

I love Joe Rogan… but I disagree here… I’m guessing Belcher is a friend… or one he at least knows better then the debuting Akiyama.

Belcher didn’t dominate! But, imo he clearly and decisively WON THAT FIGHT! I’ve seen it twice and can’t find any way whatsoever to give it to Akiyama. I guess sumbudy really bought in to that whole “Sexy-ama” thing! lol Belcher, show up looking more “sexy” next time!

i was at a large UFC party and everyone agreed with the judges. This was a close fight but was a no brainer for the victory.

Joe Rogan hates asian people. He blew a gasket when Dong Hyun Kim beat Brown and was super biased in both of his DHK’s fights against Brown and Parysian.

I don’t know but Belcher Spiderman punch off of the cage was awesome.

No, sexy 2-1. No question.

Sexy took it all three rounds.

For a guy who is known for his judo, where did Akiyama hand speed come from? He was clearly beating Belcher to the punch; it probably that which won him the decision

Sexy took it 2 rounds and was able to do a nice Jacko move look! http://www.cr3static.com/data/gif/sexplosion.gif

First round was pretty close as I recall. Could have went either way. Round 2 was Akiyama’s and round 3 was Belcher’s. More fuel on the fire for those who want to see the scoring system or it’s implementation changed.

Of course Belcher got robbed. Even Akiyama was sure he lost, thats why he broke down when he won. But no worries, the ufc will give both another shot.

It was a close fight, I thought Belcher was winning but he kinda got tired and was not busy enough for the last round and a half. It could have gone either way but I do believe that Belcher just kind of gave this one away in the last round. To say he got robbed is ridiculous, after the first round he did not do enough to have the judges give it to him!!!!

nobody gets robbed when its in the judges hands people.. thats your fault letting it go the full 15.. or 25

1st – Even
Akiyama did enough to come back from the knockdown.

2nd = Akiyama
With ground control and even standup.

3rd – Akiyama
With Takedown and Knockdown.

Standup was fairly even throughout.

belcher won the fight 29-28, could have even been 30-29 with the amount of damage he did standing in the second

Fightmetric hand it for Akiyama http://www.fightmetric.com/fights/Akiyama-Belcher.html

I had it for akiyama. I didn’t think it was a robbery.

idk about robbed, but i thought he won

no no no

That was just Rogan being a piece of s**t biased UFC prick, it doesn’t surprise me UFC guys talk a lot of smack on pride guys all the time!!

belcher got fuckin robbed belcher got round 1 it was close but belcher got it akiyama got round 2 with the take down and laying on top of him without landing much damage and belcher clearly won round 3 with leg kick after leg kick and punch after punch you wanna count octagon control on the scoring? how about belcher using the cage for that superman punch? tell me that is’nt octagon control i just dont see how akiyama won that fight he got the takedown in the 3rd towards the end but didnt do anything belcher did more in that round to win but whatever people are just to biased to agree that the fighter they wanted to win lost and are blinded by that

Belcher easily won rounds 1 and 3. Poor decision by the judges Belcher dished out the damage to Akiyama. Akiyama eye was swole shut and his leg was all jacked up, he limped away. I was like wtf when I heard the decision. I said well maybe Im wrong so I watched the replay of UFC 100 afterwards and I was still like wtf it was clear to me who won that fight. Akiyama is laid up in a hospital right now from what sources tell me expected to be released tommorrow.

29-28 Sexyama…..Rogan was stoned.

The 30-27 judge was on glue, but the end result wouldn’t matter anyway…29-28 or 30-27, it’s the same result.

I was not really cheering for either of these guys, but I thought Belcher had won the 2nd & 3rd round. It was too close to consider robbed, maybe the knockdown & takedown in the 3rd was enough for the judges.

Although it’s lame to see a half assed & gassed takedown in the 3rd round and have it matter at all.

I also thought Belcher did more damage.

Belcher lost as soon as he got that terrible tatoo. NO way was he robbed Akiyama won the fight. Maybe if belcher landed that head kick or spinning back fist he could have finshed it but no decision.

Belcher by split decision, or a draw at the very least. 30-27 is just ridiculous. Belcher butchered Akiyama’s leg for the whole round 3 and Akiyama got in 1 takedown and couple of punches, that’s clearly Belcher’s round.

boehoe a foreigner is coming to kick your asses and it is robbery??? stop crying man

I watched the fight twice as well… once live and the second at my house. When I watched it live I totally though Belcher was robbed, the second time I thought it was much closer. Either way belcher had the first round hands down. You never know what the judges are looking for but Belcher definately did more physical damage to Akiyama than Akiyama to Belcher. This is what I based my decision on in saying Belcher was robbed.

I watched it 4 times. Round 1) ended with Akiyama on top landing some solid punches to Belcher. Round 2) Akiyama controlled Belcher on the ground and landed some good elbows, opened a cut on Belcher. Round 3) Akiyama put the pressure, you can hear Belcher’s corner yelling at Belcher “don’t you back up” “don’t backup”.

Not sure what Belcher did except 1 lucky punch that put Akiyama down for a split second (he popped right back up). and 2 the leg kicks.

Round 1 ended with Akiyama on top and landing solid punches to Belchers face. After Round 1, Belchers face looked beat up.

Round 1 ended with Akiyama on top in control landing solid punches to Belcher’s face. After Round 1, Belcher’s face looked like a mess.

akiyama won 2 rounds . he scored more takedowns and strikes. rogan is delusional

Check out this article. Stats affirms Akiyama’s win. No more stupid question about this fight… Akiyama won, Belcher lost… Rogan is delusional.

In regards to the Akiyama-Belcher fight, it was definitely a close fight, and in close fights like this one, everyone sees a different winner. There’s an interesting article at Bloody Elbow, however, that has a poll asking viewers who they thought won the fight and how they scored it: http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/7/12/946584/ufc-100-post-fight-analysis.

With just under 2000 people answering the poll at the time of this posting, 1450 scored the fight with Akiyama winning, and 200 of them had Akiyama winning 30-27. Of the 500 votes for Belcher, only 22 people had Belcher winning 30-27. So with only 22 people out of 2000 scoring the fight 30-27 Belcher, the proportion of people who thought the fight was a robbery must be small.

Also, Fightmetric and Compustrike, which both tally up the number of strikes, takedowns, power punches, etc, both score the fight for Akiyama as well. Take a look at the stats: http://www.fightmetric.com/fights/Akiyama-Belcher.html and http://www.compustrike.com/stats_files/ufc_100/Akiyama-Belcher.HTM.

I’m not knocking anyone if they saw the fight for Belcher; everybody sees a slightly different version of a fight, and in close fights it really shows. But at least the stats, and the wide majority of people, have Akiyama winning that fight. This fight wasn’t a robbery.

The judging was fair and Akiyama clealy won the fight. Akiyama was controlling the pace throughout the entire fight, he executed well with combos and took Belcher down with ease(the judo trips). he landed two big shots to Belchers face when hes on top. Generally he was the dominant fighter. Belcher did nothing else other than those loud leg kicks, which probably got him some points on the score board but thats about it. He swings and misses throughout the fight and the superman punch off the cage was just flashy. Sexyama won no doubt. It couldn’t have gone the other way. I dont know why one the commentators was it goldberg or rogan said that belcher got “robbed”. it was very biased and unprofessional. well we all know that goldberg knows nothing about mma anyway, he’s better off going to WWE. Joe Rogan may know some stuff but he knows nothing more than a hardcore mma fan.
