Varner also suffered detatched integrity as a result of that illlegal knee

uhhhhh thanks agent douchbag. I’m assuming that the premium per month would be less than what his entire purse would cost so in Varner’s case it would have been a fucking bargain. Also please read comments in their entirety. You missed out on how I part of the solution, not part of the problem (sponsorship from a hospital/health insurance company). You also missed an unjustified and epic comment about Varner’s Vag.

this is why most american fans are douche bags… booing when shit hits the ground and booing when doctors cut the matches short. go watch WWE you fucking tools.

Anonymous, how do you know you aren’t speaking to fighters right now?? Some of us just may know a little bit about what it takes to be a fighter. You on the other hand do not. Varner should just admit that he quit and redeem himself another day instead of copping out behind his injuries. Bottom line is, he quit because he “couldn’t see”.. I believe he had another perfectly good eye..

Fuck you all the worm rocks… war varner get better fuck cheaters

Why do these guys always say lame sh!t like…”I’m going to defend my title to the death” but in reality they quit?

Comments like that deserve to be boo’d or criticized, but his performance does not.

Varner is a tough guy and a good fighter, but appears to be a bit stupid.

I was with Varner at first because I figured he was sincerely messed up from the knee to the head.

The fact that he is using every other injury he endured in the bout and barely mentioning the illegal knee shows that he did in fact take the opportunity to get out with his belt while he could.

He had time to recover and the honest thing to do would have been to carry on with the fight and not hamm up the illegal knee and loss of sight. He is undeniably a tough dude and I respect him for that but he used a shady tactic to keep his belt when he could have very likely won a decision if he made it out of the round. Big IF the way it was looking.

Karma will get Varner in the rematch so sleep with that belt every night.

Get fuckin real people……………

So you’re sayin the champ, Varner isn’t tougher than most?

He is to MMA champions as Barack Obama is to black people. A big fat faker!

@ Sneaky Pete: So I guess “Sneaky Pete” is supposed to be your given name and not some faggot ass moniker you created?

It’s pretty obvious that Varner quit because he felt Cerrone turning it up at the end. The momentum was in Cerrone’s favor and he may have pulled out a victory. Thus depriving the fans of a “legitimate conclusion” to the fight. You know, the reason they paid to attend the event?

Remember, the doctors didn’t stop the fight. Varner quit.

I think a lot of people on this pot are confused about what it takes to compete in MMA. It’s nothing supernatural. It’s choosing to be tougher than most. Taking punishment in a fight, shrugging it off and continuing to battle.

Kinda like Donald Cerrone did.

@ shitwhistle
And I agree with you too dude. I guess all I’m sayin is that I would have done the exact same thing, NO, ……I take that back. I don’t even have what it takes to be a professional mixed martial artists so, I would probably have quit after the first injury, but I would bet money that I would be a handful for a lot of people posting here saying he’s a bitch for what he did. What does that make them?

@Anonymous who said, “F* That. Varner is a bitch.”

I agree that a champion is supposed to fight through the injury of a broken hand, as Varner did. What I was implying was that you would not fight past a broken hand.

And to Anonymous who said, “and then cried…depriving everyone of a legitimate conclusion.” Are you trying to say that the conclusion wasn’t legitimate? Was Varner supposed to overturn the decision of the judges and capitulate to cerrone?

I only see one coward crying in this thread, anonymous troll.

You want to talk about injuries and damage, just look at cerrone. That guy got fuckin hammered from the 1st, yet he was fighting to win through and into the 5th. Varner’s a beast, not taking anything away, but I do believe he sat down when he saw the knee strike coming, cuz it looked like he was startin to stand up at first; his knees were leaving the mat. IMO, that’s probably why it was ruled unintentional. I’ve seen lots of fights whre fighters take a knee and reach for a single leg when they’re rocked and afraid of being kneed in the head. But yeah, if cerrone were winning the “contest” up to that point, he would have won, so what can you do… he may have won the “fight” if it kept going though. Varner really shot himself in the foot with the fans after the fight, too… a shitty end to an exciting war.

I agree, gesus. Especially if you’re gonna be a pro fighter, toughness should not be an issue for you.

posers? ummm…

anyways..i do agree that american fans are a lot more harsh then any other, but if ur gonna be a pro at anything…u gotta learn to just take criticism and move on!

Now, Donald Cerrone. There’s a tough guy. Heart of a champion.

snicket916: I’m glad you can admit that you are not a man. Personally, I would never say that about myself. Because… I am a man. I love to test the limits of my fortitude, and so should Jamie Varner if he wants to be considered the toughest.

The standards of toughness in MMA have been set already. Jamie Varner didn’t live up to them. He acted like a whiny premadonna. The sunglasses were gay. He blatantly quit that fight and then cried about it in the interview, depriving everyone of a legitimate conclusion. He’s a whimp and should retire.

you dont even have the balls to enter in a screen name, much less call out a savage who would knock you the fuck out with a broken hand. this is why i stick to watchin the japanese shows, so we dont have to put up with you assholes. nobody on this page has any idea what it takes to be a man, including myself.

this is why im sure all american mma fighters hate american fans, because of all of you guys. sorry you have to put up with these faggots on this site ben, you do a great job but all you have are posers that write comments on this page.

This could all be avoided if we would allow knees to a downed opponent. We need to revert back to a little old school. The good ol’ cock-fighting days (not that kind of cock-fighting TUF Guy). I’m gonna call Bob and get right on that.

Seriously though, imagine how tough he would have sounded if he had of finished the fight like that. And Frank Mir is not a dude I want to have a problem with for any reason.

If he quit because he couldn’t see, Why does he keep mentioning how much pain he is in from the hand and foot??? He’s a b!tch!! He shoulda never beat Razor Rob… He was about to get KTFO and the ref called time so he could put his mouthpiece in. Joke of a champ…..

Fuck that. Jamie Varner is a bitch. Believe it or not, couch potato, but a broken hand is something you’re EXPECTED to fight with. As the champion of an organization you should exemplify toughness. Varner is NOT champion material. Cerrone will win the rematch.

You quit the fight because you broke your hand (or for any other injury caused by opponent–one way or another) and you lose.

If cerrone had been winning the fight at that point he would have won the decision. Varner is tough and he wanted a rematch right away, the booing was uncalled for. Mir is a moron, I still hopes he beats lesnar though, then maybe brock leave the ufc and gets his ass handed to him by fedor. Not that the fight will likely ever happen, Fedor doesn’t have many more contenders in his division.

the mans tough, i give him that,
but the sand outta vagina comment was FUCKIN EPIC

@ Bootylam

Yea. That should be a great rematch. It should happen just to quiet the criticism and allow both fighters to move on. Btw, there are no t shirts being given away in this thread, so what a waste of an ‘epic’ comment.

Okay, I try not to do this, but: How many times have you guys been kneed in the face? Especially like that. Watch the replay and watch Varner’s head, he could have just as easily dropped and said he had a concussion to not continue. He said he couldn’t see because he probably couldn’t. Sometimes when you get hit like that your vision on that side [especially because he almost got hit in the eye] will go black or white, blurry, watery, or it may even pinhole. It may clear up in a minute, or it could take some days. Give him a break. We’ll just have to wait for the rematch.

I’m with Armfarmer on this one. Most of us would have been out of there after the broken hand. The guy took an accumulation of damage culminated by an illegal blow. All the Booers and the Vajayjay jokers need to spend a little time in the ring or on the mat to get a little perspective.

Better yet, challenge this so-called pussy. I’d pay to see that.

Whether he’s hurt or not, he acted like a bitch after the fight and I could tell he was lame when he was walking to the cage. Don’t care to ever see him again.

How does a fighter, in this day and age, not have health insurance?

I’m guessing because only someone making Arlovski-level money could afford the premiums the insurance company would demand… presuming they’d be willing to even cover a pro fighter in the first place, which I doubt.

@ Jay….
Look, I agree. He was winning that fight until that point, but he hadn’t won yet.
If you’re dominating a fight, but haven’t ko’d the guy or made him tap yet, and you break your hand and say you can’t go on… you lose the fight. It may suck, but them’s the breaks. It just so happened that Varner realized he could keep his belt by saying the supposed illegal strike caused him to not see. Then he even says “I broke my hand sometime in the second round…” .
It was obvious he could see just fine and was capitalizing on the turn of events.
The rules are not set up that, if you’re the champ and winning a fight, and you break your hand, they can stop the fight and you get a “do-over” sometime in the future.
Cerrone’s opponent was rendered unable to finish. The “illegal” knee happened at the right time for Varner to take advantage and he did.

How does a fighter, in this day and age, not have health insurance? There is no way he should spend his whole fight purse on medical bills. It will change the sport forever when a fighter puts Blue Cross/Blue Shield on his fight trunks in exchange for a few stiches and some blood work. Or a Pap Smear in Varner’s case.

is I am with Agent Smith on this one……

I have this fight DVR’d. After the decision and interviews all of a sudden Varner is in a good mood? Kick him in his vajajay next time Cerrone! What a disgrace!

“Fucking BOO ME!!!”

What a dumbass puss. Gimme my fucking belt you little bitch!

Varner: “…and then I had to get stitches for my labia majora and minor after the fight, pussies don’t heal on their own you know, so that’s why I’m out for 3-5 months”

Why should he have to surrender his title after kickin “The Cowboys” ass up until that point. The knee WAS illegal. Damn right it was a good way out for him. It’s not like “The Cowboy” caused those injuries to Varner. He caused them by being aggressive and up until that point, winning the fight. What about the heart he showed by continuing to fuckin thump that dude with a broken hand and foot. If anyone on this site says they wouldn’t have quit, or wants you to believe they have more heart than Varner……ask them what organization they’re fighting in, what their record is, and when they were champion. The answers to those question will prove my point!!!! These fuckin guys, I tell ya…………………

You guys are all missing the important point here… who’s the hottie with the big tits in the photo with him in the Yahoo article?

The only thing he forgot to mention was his agonizing menstrual cramps.

When your getting your retina checked out.. get the sand washed out of your vagina while your at it.

Im still wondering why nobody has ever mentioned the fact that when Razor Rob had him rocked, he spit his mouth piece out & pointed it out to the referee. Then the ref gives em a time out and washes it off. Sure, he came back after that and won fair & square, but that incident has always left a bad taste. Ive never seen a fight stopped for a lost mouth piece in the middle of the action. Check it out if you dont remeber. Varners tough, but hes also a shady opportunist.

@shitwhistle

you just made me poop myself.

I forgot where I read it, but someone was addressing the fact that some fighters will drop to their knees when they’re in a vulnerable position, knowing they can’t be struck in the head legally. Does anyone else feel Varner did this?

Just have them rematch, it was a good fight.

Or stick a few of the lower level UFC 155′ers in there and shake that division up a little. There are some guys in the UFC that will never win the belt there but I could easily see taking the WEC belt home.

is there not going to be a pickem contest for ufc 94?

What a baby.

No one’s saying he didn’t get banged up…but he was presented with an opportunity to get out of that fifth round where he was very vulnerable to being either knocked out or pounded into a stoppage and he took it.

Cerrone inflicted damage over the first four rounds and wasn’t given the chance to capitalize on it when Varner was becoming more and more defenseless because Varner took an easy way out.

But honestly…the fact that his hand/foot/vagina was broken played no part in him deciding he couldn’t continue? It was just 100% because of a glancing knee to the head that looked borderline legal for just about every replay? He knew he was in trouble…and he just admitted that in the quotes above.

He knows what he did and it’s exactly why he wants a rematch…once he’s 100% healthy again.

It’s really too bad that the fight ended that way because it is one of the best fights that you are going to see all year. Definitely top ten. If they would have scored that knee from Cerrone legal that would have been the fight of the year. Both of those guys did put on one hell of a fight even if one of them did take the easy way out late in the fight and they deserve a ton of credit.

detached retina? there’s no way he’s waiting around for a week to see a doctor if he even thinks he has a detached retina. he didn’t continue cause he had a broken hand and foot and he knew that he would win regardless of whether it went to decision or if it were a DQ.

No it wasn’t

A shot doesn’t have to look impressive to do damage. The eye is pretty susceptible to injury.

He should have said he couldn’t continue because his hand, foot and labia were broken, not because he couldn’t see because of an unintentional illegal blow. It was obvious he could see fine.
This was his way out and he took it….

I’d love to see some of you guys fight for 5 minutes, let alone 5 rounds, let alone 5 rounds in a title fight with a broken hand, foot, and detached retina. Cut the guy some slack, shit. It was still a really good fight.

Varner is Gabe Reutiger with a shiny belt.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Varner can suckle on my ghetto chocolate balls.

Yes I do.

Varner took a beating in that fight. Hope he can continue his career.

So you wanna be a fucking fighter?
