I guess Tito’s long list of injuries weren’t so bad, since it doesn’t look like he got a medical suspension. You would think a cracked skull would get suspended for a while… lol
Go figure…
LIL NOG broke Cane’s eye damnitt
Ya interesting that a cracked skull wouldn’t get you atleast 1 day medical suspension…… who knew…
Maybe its only mildly cracked…
;)
Tito got cleared cuz his head was too big to fit the X-Ray machine.
And what about those bulging disks in his neck?
Maybe they were only partially bulging?
:P
you guys are forgetting that for him the cracked skull may be a preexisting condition from his head exploding due to a bulging ego……
You mean his ego-ectomy didn’t work so well? It had metastasized? I’m stunned by that development.
No suspension for Kos either, after taking such a savage knee to the head when he was downed I would think a few days rest is a must if only as a precaution…………….. oh that’s right, pretending to take a knee to the head doesn’t hurt now does it.
Good call on that, yeah, you’d think the way he was acting he might have required a suspension as well.
must have been a hell of eye poke too, my goodness so bad he got to take all that time to recover…
*side note, KOS said this via his twitter
Really KOS 12 fights com’on guy
If I’m not mistaken, next year is year two on his two year contract, he’s looking to maximize the income on that, I guess. Then renegotiate at the end of the year. I have a feeling he will get an increase based on his willingness to step up on short notice and willingness to fight anyone, even if that same willingness has hurt his title aspirations (Paulo Thiago).
How can you twitter with one good eye?
;)
So it really just comes down to who was 106′s bigger “faking being hurt” d-bag, Tito or Kos?
;)
so trash is officially allowed then…
so trash is officially allowed then…
oh sorry i forgot the ;)
my bad.
what are you talking about this time?
