Quoteworthy:
He just so happen to have injuries to both knees and both ankles? I have no issue with it at all - but between the giant knee and ankle braces and long tights under his shorts - the dude is essentially wearing pants in the octagon - less than 20% of his lower body is not covered in neoprene Pants are cool, they should be legal, Aoki pants or Gi pants - its juts funny that he just comically skirts the rule against 'pants'. I can see an opponent questioning his attire if they wanted to.
MMA Underground members react to the modified wardrobe of George Sotiropoulos. Did it give the Aussie an Outback advantage over Joe Stevenson? Or was "Daddy" in over his head regardless of traction?

meh
it wouldve given joe an advantage as well in certain situations…but I think his attire couldve helped him escape that ankle lock no? I don’t really grapple much so I wouldn’t know 1st hand
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
I told my girl he essentailly had on Aoki pants during the fighter intro...
but regardless of his attire, he completely worked Daddy over. George is just so active from his guard. He set a ridiculous pace from the get-go and never let up. Would like to see George get J. Lauzon next. That would be a sick BJJ display.
"If we fight for money, I'll stop hitting you when you ask me to. If we fight for honor, I'll stop hitting you when i feel like it." - Rickson Gracie
I agree...
It does add traction but Daddy was thoroughly outclassed on the ground. I don’t think the fight would have looked but different.
it's over joe you lost
and you were in his bakyard so either way it was georges night. i did pick george to win & by ud also
joe is a great fighter but he even rocked joe a couple of times which had nothing o do with pants

WHO IS BEING QUOTED?
The article is suggestive that Joe Daddy said this stuff, but it doesn’t confirm it anywhere and it could easily sound like any commentator said it. Who is being quoted? Why is the person being quoted SO GAY that he is looking at the fighters outfit and not the fight itself?
Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.
Would you be alright with a guy wearing a helmet?
Because both are equally illegal. It doesn’t matter how close the fight is.
OD is incredibly handsome, coureagous and self sacrificing in his endeavour to educate me on MMA and evolve my primitive understanding of the sport; I salute you sir.
Not Illegal
if it was they should have stopped the fight from the start. The people in charge saw him come to the cage, if there was anything illegal going on it would have been addressed at that point.

OK Genius. Rash Guards are illegal. Plain and simple.

BJ Penn Fan
Im sure you cried about GSP and the Vasy to even though the commission addressed after the round. Some people are just always looking for the excuse.

Wrong. GSP fan. Canadian remember.

or was it a knee bar? I can't remember

thats what i said! Joe would've won this fight easily if it werent for this!

glad i picked sotiropolous
He ran through Daddy. I really dislike Joe as well so this was great. Also Joe posed no threat to BK but Sotiropolous dominates a top 5er and he’s gonna be a guy I wanna see in there.

to asnwer your question mac. The ankle brace creates more friction so it would probably be harder for george to have escaped
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Who made this quote?
It doesnt say who said this?
ya i wondered that as well just says Mma boards
On side note, Sotiropolous looked like a mini Moussasi to me. Yay!

Illegal to wear rash guards in the UFC, which is what he was wearing
I didn’t have any effect on the fight but rules are rules. Who is talking in this quote? It doesn’t say, but it sounds like Joe. Even my wife started hating Joe before this fight started, she was a big Joe fan. Something about the bouncing around and smiling really bothered me too.

his hat too
He’s just always been such a chotch. His hat was too big even by gangster standards lol. Over half his head, big shit eating grin, I really can’t handle him.

I thought it was just me who noticed that kind of shit.
He looked like a total moron. Sometimes the look of a fighter decides who I want to win a fight.

Great game he has
I was only talking about Joe Daddy and George.
GSP wasn’t fighting.

Hmmm. Not a fan of George. He's alright, but don't care much for him.

I can understand that
I just knew the match-up was going to be good all and all.
I picked it to be TFON. I don't know if it won, but I knew it was going to be a good scrap and it was.

In a close fight
This might have mattered, but this fight wasnt even close. George is a great fighter, and surprisingly very well rounded; his standup was very crisp. And damn his ju jitzu is fun to watch.
by theworldismine on Feb 22, 2010 10:51 AM EST reply actions
Not Even Then
This only mattered before he came out. As soon as the athletic commision in charge let’s him in the cage it should be considered legal and anyone complaining can go suck off. The situtaion was addressed when he was allowed to fight, directly or indirectly it was addressed.

george always wears those. no one brought before it up because few were paying attention to his fights until saturday.

Agree
And I don’t like Joe so I don’t care what he was wearing. But this might open a door to more people trying to wear pants.

again, they started all of it so if you are siding with them how do you call yourself a patriot? Did you side with Iraq too?

No
you voiced your opinion and jay said it was retarted. Which is justifiable cause it wasnt the brightest statement, you escalated it and bottom line its an online MMA forum put your sword down man and relax

No
he said I was retarded and who the fuck cares what he thinks. You are still siding with the Canadians that picked a fight with an American.

If you don't care what he thinks
Why do you keep rambling on about nothing besides saying “French” and “Gay”.
Im siding with people who I know better and who's opinions I respect
In an argument of nationalism I will side with America no matter what the argument (healthcare)
but your arguemnt was that georges pants were made a non-issue when the commission allowed him in the cage, put the truth is that they are/were still an issue as the commission has the power to overturn any decision post fight, so if georges pants are deemed illegeal than it could very well still be a valid issue
