Has this fighter explained why he just stopped fighting and turned his back?

His trainer did. Basically said Grigorian had a cut (visible after the KO on the video for what it's worth), walked back to his corner "which you never do in a fight" unless you know a round's over or know a ref calls time to check on the cut's severity, and acknowledged the other guy did the legal thing by continuing the fight and going for the finish

I thought someone posted in the UFC thread that the dude got rocked so hard by that knee that he thought he heard the bell an the round was over. It obviously wasn't. The loving superman punch that broke the winner's jaw from the irate fan was incredible, too.

“I’m in the circle, where people tell me things,” Bisping said. “This is me putting out a disclaimer, if they hear me saying this, I can say ‘I said it was third hand information’, when really it might not be third hand information.

“Somebody at the weekend told me that Chuck Liddell is really pissed off, because he had a pretty sweet deal with the UFC when he left this job. He was an ambassador for the UFC. I believe he was on $1 million a year, that’s the number I heard.

“It was great that the UFC was doing that, but now of course, new UFC owners came in,” Bisping said. “I heard that Chuck was really pissed off, so that’s why he’s possibly going over to Bellator.”

They don't. Its MMA gloves the whole time just different rules per round. See Aoki vs an anime for example.

The tweet says otherwise.
I could see keeping MMA gloves on the whole time and just putting large boxing gloves over them, duct taking over the Velcro seams instead of using lace up gloves.

Yeah, I remember Jienotsu starching Aoki in MMA gloves for both rounds but like kimbo305 said, the tweet said they're swapping so who knows

quote:

The rule structure will be similar to “Jienotsu” Yuichiro Nagashima-Shinya Aoki bout from K-1 Premium Dynamite 2010, with a five-minute round of kickboxing with larger gloves, followed by a second round with MMA rules and gloves. Elbows are prohibited and the bout will be an automatic time limit draw after the 10 minutes, unless there have been yellow cards awarded in the bout.

oh well poo poo I'm an rear end in a top hat. That's dumb, but not too hard to do. The wraps under it are the same, so it's just clip the tape off the big gloves and slide on the gloves that you've already fitted out backstage on and tape them up.

I feel like they slipped a little bit when they lost Sean Wheelock, but Jimmy Smith is good. I wonder what he'll do now.

Schiavello recently quit doing commentary for AXS because he wanted to move his family back to Australia. I wouldn't be surprised if Bellator approached him at some point and got turned down.

Prior to the start of his professional wrestling career, Ibushi practiced karate, winning a shinkarate K-2 tournament in 2003.[124] In 2006, Ibushi was planning on making his K-1 MAX debut, but it was cancelled after his opponent was injured.[124] On November 11, 2014, Ibushi announced he would be making his shoot boxing debut in an exhibition match on November 30.[124] The match with Ibushi's fellow DDT wrestler Michael Nakazawa ended in a draw.[125]
