Security Body Slams Jerk at UFC 91 - Watch more free videos

It just wouldn't be a night at the fights if someone didn't get all riled up and start their own action outside the Octagon.  What this guy doesn't take into account, however, is that the cops at UFC 91 have been watching the same ass-kicking action all night long, and are now just as eager as he is to bash some skulls.  Maybe even a little too eager. 

The slam that comes at around the 0:27 mark may not be a model of technical execution, but it ends with our bewildered troublemaker on his back soaking up spilled beer and wondering how the cops at the MGM Grand got to be so agro, brah.  At least he waited until after the main event to get himself brutalized.

From a Shooto event called "Shooting Disco 4: Born in the Fighting" (!!!), held on February 23rd. If you don't have time to sit through all 137 seconds of this fight, just jump to the video's 2:14 mark and brace yourself. Live by the leg-scissor choke, die by the leg-scissor choke. Great photo of the uncomfortable-looking moment of impact here...

For all the debate over Steve Mazzagatti's controversial point-deduction during UFC 81's Lesnar/Mir fight, we've overlooked one other questionable reffing moment from "Breaking Point." Watch the video above and count how many unanswered punches to the face Tim Boetsch gets in on David Heath — who doesn't even have his hands up — before Herb Dean decides to come back from his cigarette break.

Of course, Boetsch himself can't be faulted for laying down the fury. In fact the Pennsylvania-based light heavyweight, who filled in for Tomasz Drwal at UFC 81 on just 10 days notice, believes that his dramatic K.O. of Heath will earn him a return trip to the Octagon. As Boetsch told TAGG Radio:

"I haven’t heard anything as of yet. But just from the response from the fans and everybody that saw it, I think they’re going to have a hard time not bringing me back. So I’m looking forward to getting back in there for them, hopefully in the near future, and putting on another good show."

Though the $60,000 Knockout of the Night bonus went to Chris Lytle, Boetsch received extra pay on top of his salary, saying that "[the UFC] takes care of you if you put on an exciting fight." As for the wild ending to his match last Saturday, Boetsch remembers it like this:

"I knew when (Heath) didn’t put his hands out to catch himself (falling) he was in trouble. His head bounced off the floor, and I knew he was hurt pretty bad. I dropped in and started hitting him, and I knew nobody was home at that point."

We don't think he'd have much luck throwing around the UFC's top-ten-caliber light heavyweights, but we'd love to see Boetsch developed for a while against gatekeeper-types like Jason Lambert and Eric Schafer. The kid's got potential...

Apologies for the lack of updates this morning — CP was experiencing major server eff-ups. But we're back in business now, and to reward your patience, we'd like to present this video of Quinton Jackson's classic battle with Ricardo Arona at PRIDE Critical Countdown in June 2004. Watch as Jackson is knocked out cold at around the 5:30 mark; luckily, the referee allows the fight to continue, and Rampage regains his faculties enough to deliver a WWE-caliber power-slam that immediately ended the fight. You'll also notice that at this point in his career, Rampage dog-barked after a victory, Arsenio Hall audience-member-style, as opposed to his current wolf-howl.
