UFC 143: Bruce Leeroy admits ball bashing, but claims Figueroa was also 'milking it'

Let’s see him take a couple soccer kicks 2 the sack @ full force.

He put on a spectacular performance.

He owned 14.5 minutes of that fight. All Figueroa did was land one head kick.

that first nut shot was killer, you even heard it on the replay so for him to say that he was milking it is crazy. And he had every right to take the full 5 mins. if he needed it.

2 pts was the right call. Edwin has said the doc told him he has a testicular contusion.

In the Kos fight he kept calling “WORK WORK LETS WORK”.. They were working dammit. And where was the Kos 1 point…

2 points from Alex was absolutely horsecrap.

Figueroa did next to nothing to win, but let’s chalk that up to the nutshots. But Caceres was shocking in his level of incompetence. He looked like he’s been training subs with GSP! Figueroa did nothing to win but neither did Caceres. Idk much about Figs, but Idgaf about that poser Caceres. Never liked him since the show & he’s done nothing career-wise or otherwise to change my opinion. Fuck him.

UFC 143 Results: Alex Caceres Loses Fight Due To Inconsistent Refereeing:

Let’s not beat around the bush here, the reason Alex Caceres lost this evening at UFC 143 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center is because of inconsistency.

Referee Herb Dean issued a “very strong warning” after Caceres landed a low blow early in the 1st round. Although it was a direct hit and landed hard, there is no such thing as a ‘very stern warning’ to my knowledge. A warning, is a warning, is a warning. We have seen countless occasions where a low blow connects and no point is deducted. We have seen a 2nd land with no deduction. And even a third.

But we’ve never seen a 2 point deduction at the same time. Caceres landed another low blow the following round and referee Herb Dean gave Figueroa his time to recooperate from the blow, then deducted 2 points from Caceres at one time. I have never seen this before in my entire fight viewing history. Perhaps somebody else that’s more savvy with a computer could point me the direction of another instance this occurred?

Yet another example of just what inconsistency in the sports officiating results in.

In any event, it ultimately was the deciding factor of the bout as Caceres lost a split decision to Edwin Figueroa, 28-27.

A 2 point deduction is as good as deciding the fight. To win after that, you have to be Superman or get a stoppage. Dean decided his fight, not skill, and that contravenes what fighting sports are all about. If he felt so strongly about the kicks (and I can;t imagine why he would as they were accidental), he should have simply disqualified him.

As a fighter, I’d rather have a loss by DQ on my record, with everybody knowing I was the better man, than a loss by decision.

Herb pretty much ensured Alex would lose the match with a 2 point deduction. I have watched MMA for a while now and I have never seen 2 point being deducted from a fighter. I disagree with Alex in that the first kick didn’t land low. It sure as hell did, It sounded like a home run on Wrigley field. Plus Alex really needs to drop rear naked chokes altogether. I watched this kid try for 7 mins to sink in a rear naked choke with no success. He should have locked in an armbar and called it a night. But Herb should have no taken 2 points.

GTFO with that this is coming from a guy who shouldn’t even be in the UFC lord knows how or why the hell he got so many chances after losing his 1st 2 fights that were not even close. “Glancing” he should watch it again and hear how they sounded both of them the first shot to the nuts sounded like a gun shot! plus he damn near got his head kicked off after that. Oh by the way I think it came out yesterday that the nut shots caused a testicular contusion yeah that sounds like he was milking it. 2 points wasn’t even should have been a automatic DQ
