MooPig Sports Trough :: "UFC Fight of the Night"

Eight Up UFC Fighters 
Discombobulated by Pat Darnell  |  Dec 21, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK] Women participate in UFC mixed martial arts octagon fighting on Sat Dec 6th.

The UFC had a reputation, especially in the early days, as an extremely violent event, as evidenced by a disclaimer in the beginning of the UFC 5 broadcast which warned audiences of the violent nature of the sport.

If there is a body part that receives the most damage in mixed martial arts, I would have to say the ears. If you ever question whether a person's claim is that they are a fighter, look at their ears, and if they look like cauliflower, then his claim is probably true.

EXCERPT | " ... Hunt, who battled Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in the night's heavyweight draw-card, required surgery after suffering a broken hand and face during the bout.

[Picture LINK] Although these two fighters went five rounds only to end in a majority draw, they both won their bonuses from UFC and FON -- Fight of the Night -- honors. That's Silva on the right.

" ... It was no surprise both Hunt and Silva required medical attention. The pair recorded a combined 184 strikes during their bout - the highest amount in UFC heavyweight history. (December 11, 2013. Marissa Calligeros. LINK) ..."

" ... The caged ring, known as the Octagon, is banned in Western Australia and Victoria.
However the sport's popularity appears to be growing, with the takings at the gate on Saturday, December 6th, 2013, topping $1.8 million. ... "

Eight UFC fighters in hospital after Brisbane fight night: "More than one-third of participants in the Ultimate Fighting Championship Fight Night held at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre ended the night in hospital. Main card Australian fighters Mark Hunt, 39, and Dylan Andrews, 34, topped the long injury list coming out of Saturday's event. Eight of the 22 competing fighters were taken to hospital, including two rushed by ambulance to St Andrew's Hospital."

MooPig has a jones for bloodsport UFC style. We like to find clandestine cage fighting on late night, early morning, cable TV. We watch and squirm as the fighters unleash hours of trained, specialized, blood letting techniques in mixed martial arts upon each other.

Edge of suburbia, white flight we city dwellers desire and cherish blood sport. The sport of blood has developed NERO-ian dirty boxing face of chain link with sponsors like Jack's Links. Barefoot and almost bare knuckled, almost Colosseum gigantic, due to TV audience, and wearing garb from their Dojo's, MMA participants are amazing athletes. (LINK)

We found this report from the Brisbane Times of a recent bout where a third of the contestants were hospitalized after their bouts. YIKES!

"... In one of the greatest fights in Ultimate Fighting Championship history, Mark Hunt and Antonio ''Bigfoot'' Silva battled to a majority draw on Saturday. ... The UFC's Australian director of operations, Tom Wright described the fight, seen by 11,383 fans at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, as the best heavyweight contest he'd ever seen.(December 7, 2013. Dan Nancarrow. LINK) ..."

" ... ''Bigfoot'' was bleeding heavily in the final round, and two judges scored it 10-8 to Hunt. The result was one judge scoring the fight 48-47 to Hunt while the other two judges scored the bout 47-47, leading to one of the rarest decisions in mixed martial arts: a majority draw. (December 8, 2013. Liam Ducey. LINK) ..."

CONCLUSION
MooPig has been watching the UFC from its beginning. The first UFC event was held in 1993 in Denver, Colorado. The purpose of the event was to identify the most effective martial art in a real fight between competitors of different fighting disciplines, including Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Karate, Judo, and other styles.

UFC has its roots in clandestine bare knuckle fighting, correlated with mixed martial arts training. Its octagon shaped cage gives fighters greater room to use their skills, more area to set up kicks and perform take downs. In take downs, grappling occurs as fighters use wrestling, and jiu jitsu joint locks, and throw downs. Most fights are three five minute rounds. Most fighters throw up to a hundred strikes in a fight, sometimes more. Take downs also score points if the fight goes to a decision by the three judges.


There are some rules like not hitting or kicking the back of the head, and not hitting or kicking below the belt, no head butting. Sometimes a fighter gets a finger to his eye, and the fight is paused for him to recoup. Gloves are worn to cut down on cutting that would come from bare knuckles. Elbows, shins, feet, knees, dirty boxing, are all otherwise fair to use in this modern day bloodsport.


UPDATE
" ... Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, who fought for the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title in
May, tested positive for an excessive level of testosterone after his Dec. 6 draw in Australia against Mark Hunt.

In addition to surrendering his $50,000 fight-of-the-night bonus following the bloody battle, Silva is suspended for nine months, the UFC said in a statement. (Lance Pugmire. December 18, 2013. LINK) ..."

UFC Referees and the Power Law
by Mike Fagan | [SOURCE]
Without using Google or Wikipedia, name five American MMA referees.

If you're like 98% of the global population (ed. note: figure cannot be verified), you probably listed some combination of John McCarthy, Herb Dean, Steve Mazzagatti, Mario Yamasaki, Yves Lavigne, and Dan MIragliotta. Why is that?
Well, it can all be explained by the Power Law. Here's a layman's explanation from Advanced NFL Statistics:

Have you ever noticed how most of the productivity around your office seems to be accomplished by a minority of your co-workers? It’s no different in the NFL, or most anywhere else.

The power law is all around us, and is a fundamental property of natural organizations of all types. City sizes, for example, are distributed according to the power law. There are a few extremely large cities, more average sized cities, and very many smaller towns. Earthquake sizes, the structure of the Internet, stock market gains and losses, body mass indexes, gravity, social network connections, wealth distributions, and even Kevin Bacon movies all follow power law distributions. If you've ever heard people refer to the "fat tail" or the "long tail," this is what they're referring to. (Fagan, Mike; 05.09.2009 Retrieved HERE)

The distribution of MMA referees in the UFC is no different. Our first example highlights this concept based on the amount of fights reffed by each official since the introduction of the Unifed Rules. (As always, click the picture to view the full-sized imag

Proving the legitimacy of the "Anti-Demographic"
by Pat Darnell

GRAPHIC: Our Green Governor [Crist] Hanging out
with RINO Arnold in Bankrupt California...
Please Charlie don't learn anything there.
Gov. Charlie Crist will be the only Republican
of the four governors attending a two climate change
summit sponsored by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
in Beverly Hills this week, according to a story
today in the LATimes.

___________
I vote Republican
but live like a Democratic
I am a new member
of the anti-demographic

Specialists would like to know
how we go about it
But soon find out
we are admixture addicts.
_____________

Going Greener, many see Red!
Due to Budget Cutbacks and inherent need to go Greener on the West Coast, soon to be bankrupt West Coast, MooPig has tapped these two groups for Co-Ed living. Check it out.

A historical review should prove co-habitation of these two groups is favored demography... MooPig has run all the numbers and decidedly found the missing links; yes links of transition, from demographic to anti-demographic. It's called "using the fists to solve issues of the id and ego..." pretty much describes the divisional Venn diagrams of 733 degrees of compatibility. MooPig offers this primary research to its readers free of charge.

Only one house in Schwarzenegger's town is needed for the combination of these pseudo-anti-demographia's... MooPig TV MatchMaker Dept. says, "Go Co-ed, improve your carbon foot-prints, the best solution for this TV phenomenon. Sincerely We cannot wait to experience the BUGFCC, or Bad Ultimate Girls Fighting Club Championship." A month ago --

Nov 17, 2008 -- Schwarzenegger was a featured guest at both of the high-profile climate change summits held by Crist and it's clear he's now returning the favor. He [was] scheduled to speak...

"More than 600 environmental officials and activists from Borneo to Bulgaria, along with five U.S. governors and regional politicians from foreign nations, [had been] expected to attend,'' the LATimes reports. "...Schwarzenegger had invited all 49 other U.S. governors, but only four plan to attend part of the conference:

• Republican Charlie Crist of Florida and
• Democrats Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas and Jim Doyle of Wisconsin.
• In addition, seven others have said they will add their names to the declaration. [SOURCE]

It is assumed by MooPig Enterprises that anti-advertising will find a purposeful and profitable niche based on these market corollaries of research and history.

Pribek.net; October 23, 2008; NOTE: (Anti-Demographic is attributed to Pribek.net, HERE, and commentary is a result of no less than obsessive viewing of Bad Girls Club and UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championship television when-what-how-ever time or place it airs or appears, or re-runs... rather than do anything useful by MooPig anti-demographic professionals, UAA, MIA).

Crouse, Jeff; August 22, 2008;The Anti-advertising Agency; Product placement; via adamkluger@inbox.com HERE NOTE: (Through long-term commercial saturation, it has become implicitly understood by the public that advertising has the right to own, occupy and control every inch of available space. The steady normalization of invasive advertising dulls the public’s perception of their surroundings, re-enforcing a general attitude of powerlessness toward creativity and change, thus a cycle develops enabling advertisers to slowly and consistently increase the saturation of advertising with little or no public outcry.)
