CB Dolloway turned out to be a little bitch. Good on Amir. How the hell did a judge give the fight to Tanner? The main event sucked.

It seemed like CB tapped instinctively, as if he were in practice and didn't want to risk getting hurt. Maybe he forgot he was actually competing :wow

At any rate, Amir deserves it. To catch a smart (and smarmy) opponent with the same sub twice in a row is excellent.

Also some people seem to think you have to tap 3 times.

1. This isn't the WWF
2. Those were rules from a long time ago in MMA.

You put fighters at serious risk forcing them to tap 3 times.

djohn14
06-22-2008, 06:57 PM
Evan is right. CB did tap, and even if by some 1 in 9,999,999,999% chance he didnt, its the refs job to stop the fight before someone gets seriously injured.

TheTruth
06-22-2008, 07:27 PM
It was a good stoppage. I just didn't think CB would tap so quickly. It must have been instinctive.

Is Amir the worst TUF winner?

I would say hands down the most surprising..

But worst? Not by any means whatsoever. He's a massively raw talent but what he has shown is amazing.

I think when its all said and done the worst will be either Travis Lutter or Kendall Grove.

If Amir continues to train with a good camp, you can bet he will continue to be successful in the UFC.

Either he tapped or he went for the highly unsuccessful gentle open palm to the thigh strike

Watching that video it looks like Amir had that armbar tight. I just don't know about CB complaining about the stoppage after it was done.

I think he was just in complete shock. CB is a cocky SOB and this loss will be good for him.

1. That was one badass beard Tanner had. He won in my book just for that imfo.

2. What ever happened to that REALLY NERDY fighter that made it to the TUF finale a couple seasons ago. Really dorky but was very exciting to watch fight.

Blackjack

I'm glad Amir pulled it out. That kid is the definition of resourceful. He's the type of guy you can't help but pull for, with the way he handles himself. The fact that he got that D-bag with another arm-bar was fucking priceless.:lmao

Luke Cummo

He's still around, and one of my favorite fighters to watch.

8-2...just missed the main and co-main :lol

I can't believe CB put himself in that position...

Amir needs to be built-up slowly…at WW…he’s funny…I like him…

Hopefully Tanner finds something to do worthwhile if he doesn’t keep fighting. I still think people would come see him in other org’s…

Glad to see Riddle win…solid young talent with personality….and his hair made me laugh…

Glad to see McFedries win…he’s had some tough luck in and out of the ring lately…

Hazelett :fro

Jeremy Horn looked AWFUL. Can you really be so washed up at only 32? 'Cuz if so, pretty soon I'll actually have an excuse for not being in shape.

It was excellent. Once again, Matt Brown picks the shots he wants, doesn't mind eating a few along the way, and can laugh in the face of everybody who underestimated him.

Matt Brown and Amir were my favorite fighters from the show. I'd like to see them go at it again.
