Bad Reffing Award

Andrew Glenn
Fight Night Joanna vs. Waterson Mike Davis vs Thomas Gifford - Glenn fails to stop the fight on like 5 valid occasions, letting Gifford take approximately 100 significant strikes that he didn't need to take.


Bad Coaching award

Fight Night Joanna vs. Watterson Mike Davis vs Thomas Gifford - Gifford's corner fails to stop the fight between rounds, sending Gifford out for a second and for a third so that he could visit Brendan Schaub in the land of wind and ghosts. BONUS - Gifford's coach is his dad.

Absolutely agreed. Everybody in the arena, watching at home and on commentary knew that shouldn't have gone into the third round.

Kim Winslow once warned a fighter what felt like 100 times to stop grabbing the fence in invicta. She was slapping the fighter’s hand and such over and over but did nothing to actually take a point or punish the fighter for constant cheating.

It's a good conversation starter for discussing MMA history.




I'm reflecting on it and I'm going to give last night's fight night - Fight Night Joanna vs Waterson aka Fight Night Tampa or w/e - a nomination for Best Event. There was only one fight that wasn't at least OK, with several very good fights, at least two memorable finishes, and it had that unexpected theme of "goddamn how is this person still in the fight?"

It's less that I expect it to win, but more to just record that it was a far better event than most.

So Foul of the Year nomination for Greg Hardy at Fight night Reyes vs Weidman - he takes a couple puffs on an inhaler between rounds 2 and 3 in his fight vs a create-a-bogan

There should be some nomination also for the anonymous Mass. commissioner who told him he could do it.

for added comedy we can add a 'fear the consequences' category for "failed attempts at trash talk/hyping up the crowd"

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

Referee incompetence:

Whoever the doofus in the Loma Lookboonmee vs Aleksandra Albu fight is. Albu repeatedly grabbed Lookboonmee's clothes, to the point that Loma's top ripped. Despite a warning that the next instance would result in a point deduction, the ref simply warned Albu again.
