did anyone in here watch UFC 140 last saturday night?

the main and co-main events ended up with bonebreaking and strangulation. there have been many many nasty scenes in MMA history but seeing Lyoto Machida dropping lifelessly on the floor after Jon Jones standing guillotine choke seems to have been more shocking than other finishes.

some of the people who were with me saturday instantly developed a bigger-than-life hate for Jones and even long time MMA followers seem to be especially shocked.

what is funny is that the blame might be entirely on my fellow countrymen who refused to tap out. in this article the author suggests that the UFC should somehow punish the guys who allow thatr kinda scene to happen. and the guys who caused the damage were just doing their job!

I believe this is an interesting discussion especially if you remeber that UFC is branching into primetime TV and if it was an UFC on Fox event the majority of the public would be outraged.
