    I wonder whats up with Schoonover either way suspension or not he will be over seas.

    Atleast hope he is healthy, godspeed sir

  • dickchainey says:

    I agree Bones Jones wuz robbed. B-kuz yea the elbows wuz eligal but at first they were juz gonna take a point. Then hammer said he didn’t wanna fight B-kuz of hiz shoulder. Around these parts we kall that a forfit. A.K.A. lose!!! ANOTHER GOOF UP BY MAZAGETTE.

    • fr702 says:

      Ok the decision to make the fight DQ was done properly and Mazz + Keith Kizer made the correct call via the NSAC rules and regulations, I’ve posted them throughout the past few days and at this point it is almost “old hat” but if you feel strongly about you opinion we can ruin another thread and discuss this situation..

      You can take the Jones got robbed and it was all due to some agenda that Dana White and Mazz have against the young up and comer, and I will take the Keith Kizer said it was done properly and Jones understands what he has did wrong (now) and his only complaint is that Hamill technically couldn’t continue due to the shoulder injury and therefore has asked it to be reviewed to perhaps get changed to a NC, not that the elbows were illegal what so ever or technically a bad stoppage, these aren’t Jones’ complaints, interesting….

    • Justin says:

      Around these parts we at least make half an attempt at spelling words correctly.

  • oldman420 says:

    dbiz, “just sayin’” is mine and kanye’s trademark douche bag sentence ender and i’m going to let this one slide but next time it will be $100.

    Also I tend to agree with dick, not his spelling, but point of view.

    I think Mazz. totally pooped the perverbial bed again and Keith is just backing him up, right or wrong he’s just trying to put it to rest. My opinion is that Mazz. should have warned Bones and or deducted a point for his 3-4 missed 12-6 elbows. It was only when Jon landed the elbow that Mazz. DQ’d him. He should have warned or stopped and stood the fight up after the second missed 12-6 elbow, their was no warning from Mazz. so how was Jon to know what he was throwing was an illegal strike. If I throw 3 or 4 that don’t hit, and the ref doesn’t warn me or stop me i’m going to keep throwing that illegal strike.

    So my question to the FrenZy is at what point are illegal strikes illegal? only if they land? or if you’re throwing them with intention to land?

  • lovintheUFC4EVER says:

    even bones lost by DQ, he whooped Hamill long before the ref called the illegal 12-6 strike. fight should have been over when bones was just ground and pounding him with his fists not elbows. if there were no illegal blows… bones would still have pulverized him anyways.Im deaf myself, but not a Hamill fan.
