Thoughts? Comments? Conspiracy theories?

Here's a few for those who couldn't catch it:

Pierre vs. Koscheck

Couture vs. Gonzaga

The sounds a little off, but you get what you pay for. Get em before they're deleted.

I was dissapointed with the Couture/Gonzaga fight, but really impressed by how well Couture controlled the fight.

Anyone know which fight the giant blood stain on the canvas came from?

Did anyone somehow see the Sobral/Heath fight? I read a bunch of reports saying Sobral would not release his choke even after Heath tapped. Then apparently Joe Rogan asked about it and Sobral admitted he purposely didn't release the choke even tho he knew Heath tapped. Was there bad blood there or something? I wish i could have seen that, just odd.

Btw did you catch the Koscheck interview where he proclaimed he would knock GSP out in the 1st 2 minutes of the 1st round. How'd that one go Kos? Lol the only reason Koscheck's shoulder is still attached to his body is apparnetly you can grab your own shorts to block subs.

I really enjoyed the GSP/Koscheck fight. I've only just started watching professional fights but I thought that was a good show of grappling.

Darn, I thought that was just for predictions.

The blood on the mat is from the Sobral/Heath fight, in which Sobral choked Heath unconscious out of spite, and admitted to it. There's another thread on UFC 74, but no one seems to care about this shitty move by Babalu. This is despicable. Being choked out because you're fighting it is one thing, but tapping out and not having the guy let go is just a horrible feeling. Babalu lost his contract for it, and I'm glad. Someone said it was racially motivated, since Sean "The Muscle Shirt" Sherk isn't losing his contract for testing positive for the juice, but that's totally different. This is just a horrible thing to do, it violates the whole philosophy of grappling and MMA. It doesn't matter what Heath said to him before the fight. When he taps it's finished, you already taught him the lesson. I hope someone stabs Babalu in the street, and tells him they're teaching him a lesson.
