As ‘zombiekilla’ mentioned in the comments section of the last post, UFC 101‘s real Fight of the Night took place in the crowd, when a group of meatheaded douchebags got a little too caught up in the action and began warring amongst themselves. As security intervened, a female meatheaded douchebag swung her purse at some other broad, then went after her with furious Brock Lesnar-style hammerfists. Everyone in the vicinity roared their approval and watched it play out, paying no attention to the Aaron Riley/Shane Nelson scrap that was going on inside the Octagon.
And so, we must amend Dana White’s beloved four corners analogy: If people are playing soccer on one corner, basketball on the second corner, street hockey on the third corner, a bunch of drunk Philadelphians are throwing haymakers on the fourth corner, and a professional mixed martial arts contest is taking place in the center of the street, people will watch the meatheads brawl every time. That’s how we know this is the sport of the future.
Unrelated, but important: Forrest Griffin‘s camp confirmed that the fighter suffered a broken jaw and partial hearing loss during his whuppin’ at the hands of Anderson Silva, and sprinted out of the cage in order to seek immediate medical attention. Well, we’re sorry to hear that, but Quinton Jackson still thinks you’re a ‘LOSER!!’
MMA Weekly confirmed with Griffin’s management that Griffin’s jaw was not injured, but "emotionally he is definitely not dealing well with the loss."

commentsanderson silva hit forrest so hard people are bringing up 50 year old Ali fights hahaha. i wasn't alive when that fight happened sheps but i bet any one of our punk asses would have dropped to the floor if ALi hit us with that "Phantom Punch"
Lmao I watched the fight man, and that was a weak ass shot that didn't even hurt Liston. Sonny was one of the baddest men around at the time, you seriously think that was a legitimate punch?
Have you ever boxed and thought "Oh that was a hard punch, I'll go down now". No no no, you can't fucking decide to hit the canvas AFTER getting hit, it's going to be a predetermined thing, your going to say "Next punch, I'm going down" hence why such a bullshit shot "knocked him out"
Liston knew what round he had to go down in so he get ready for that, not for the punch. Dude did you even watch him hit the mat? He fucking lunged forward with no intention of even throwing a punch he knew he was going toward the mat. How can you even say he got "Knocked the fuck out" mate, he was writhing and wriggling around on the floor like an idiot trying to act hurt.
Everyone knows that he took a dive, anyway I'm not even arguing that Forrest took a dive so your going the wrong direction there, I believe he was legitimately hurt but the phantom punch was a fixed dive by Liston and not the right thing to try to defend Forrest in this case.
Lets make this a little clearer shall we? Say you were supposed to throw the fight because you owed the Mafia a shit-load of money, would you A: Throw the fight on the weakest punch you could? or B: Throw the fight on one that looked like it could have legitimately knocked you out?
If Liston was supposed to throw the fight, do you honestly think he would have chose the weakest, hardest to see punch he could have? Or would he have thrown it on a punch that could have KO'd him?
Ali knocked Liston the fuck out, just like Silva knocked Forrest the fuck out. Neither fight was fixed. That off-balance counter shot has KO'd so many great fighters, it's no wonder it KO'd Griffin. Didn't help that Griffin was already practically stumbling when he got caught.
You want to know why that punch is called the "Phantom Punch"? Because it was a bullshit punch and if you'd known a little more about the fight you'd know that most people believe the fight was fixed, which isn't a huge surprise giving the era.
In fact most people are positive it was fixed as Liston owed the Mafia a fucking bunch of money. So that "Phantom Punch" wasn't exactly the greatest thing to think of in this situation...........lol

"***Update: Forrest Griffin was not injured during his fight at UFC 101 against Anderson Silva and his quick exit following the knockout loss was from emotional — not physical distress."
"MMAWeekly has confirmed with representatives from Zinkin Entertainment, Griffin’s management group, that he is physically fine following the Saturday night fight. Griffin suffered no broken jaw and he is physically okay, said the Zinkin representative, but emotionally he is definitely not dealing well with the loss. "
I'm telling you man, if Torres and Bowles fought 100 times, Torres would win 98 of the times, he caught him with a strong lucky punch.
Torres pretty much self destructed and pulled a Uriah Faber.
Bam! Literature. It's Kryptonite to Mooks.
awesome that you were on the ball recording that. i was directly across from the fight and everyone was pumped by it
hahahahahah...thats amazing.
and to all the philly haters: i dont condone this bs of fighting in the crowd but dont knock philly. fights break out at mma events everywhere. what was the wec event that had such a huge fight that they had to air a prelim fight just to get some time to break it up?
