Stipe Miocic was on track to beat Mark Hunt 50-40 if he didn't get the stoppage at the end of the 5th.

According to this list, Franklin-Loiseau is the most lopsided at 50-42, 50-42, 50-43 (I assume this is the one that you saw). The one that featured a 30-23 score (Forrest Petz vs Sam Morgan) is #2 on the list but that scorecard is a bit of an outlier since the other two judges had it 30-27 and 30-26. That said I believe it's the only 10-7 round that's ever been scored in the UFC.

Actually one judge had scored every round 10-9 and even the harshest only had two rounds at 10-8, incredibly enough.

Hendo/Vitor had 30-24's I think, though it was corrected later because judges can't add properly and they meant to put 30-26.

that's just bad judging though. Even Mark Hunt was like "yeh after the 1st round I was finished" & it should have been 10-8s and a possible 10-7 all the way to the depressing finish line.

but enough of that let's go back to forgetting the fight had happened. In fact it might be better if it's remembered as Mark Hunt courageously earning 10-9 rounds in a fight where he took 400 unanswered punches to the head.

Quarry-Starnes, AKA 'The Running Man' had a 30-24. (The other judges gave it 30-26 and 30-27 but the 24 dude had the right idea).

Rich Franklin gets overlooked as an all-time great a lot but he beat a man so badly that the victim suffered from anxiety for years because of it. That is some next level MMA.

I think Rich Franklin doesn't get talked about as much as he should cause he never officially retired. There was that entire year where everyone wanted to talk about Rich's career in retrospect but every few weeks it was rumored he was going to fight Lil Nog and everyone decided to hold off on doing it. Like once he gets inducted in the Hall of Fame there will be an entire month of "hey remember that cool thing he did" instead he just sort of vanished after the Wanderlei Silva match. At least that's what I think happened.

He was on Chael's podcast recently and said much the same really. He has one fight left on contract and needs to decide by the end of summer if he's gonna do it or not.

How reliable are the PPVs bought on ufc.tv, pubs in Dublin don't have late enough licenses for the fight so a few pals and I are going to watch it with a few scoops at home.

I've never actually ordered a card through UFC.tv directly but I've bought a few now on Xbox Live. I assume it's at least similar quality and I have had minimal issues.

Not likely. UFC prices based on location, I'd assume PS network just has one global price, or just that you're looking at the US page / pricing.

The best/worst example was Invicta 9. They couldn't get Buffer, or Martinez. They ended up with...I don't know, some dude's cousin or something. He knew that he was supposed to emphasise things, but he didn't know what or why. Didn't help that it was in front of an Iowa crowd that had no idea what they were looking at. Aside from Inoue/Kowalkiewicz, that was such a dogshit card.

I love the story of Shamrock-Zinoviev. According to Frank, when he was fighting Kevin Jackson to win the title he noticed that the floor of the octagon was a lot harder than the surfaces he'd competed on previously (i.e. Pancrase ring). He figured that he'd have a big advantage wrestling and grappling over Zinoviev, so he decided that he would just grab him, pick him up, and drop him in such a way that he would be injured. And it played out exactly that way. The entire fight was Shamrock picking a dude up by the hips and dropping him on his head, which knocked him cold and broke his collarbone. The economy of effort in that fight still amazes me.
