I really doubt the Jones/Sonnen fight would have been stopped between rounds, just tape the toe to the rest of the foot and your good to go, he wasn't even feeling the pain until his adrenaline died down.
Diplomatically, you don't ever want to win that way. The ones that hurt are those you are supposed to win and then blow it—you do something, work against yourself and open that window for your opponent. When you're getting beat up, and you don't get a 'gimme,' that's not going to keep me up at night. That's my diplomatic answer. In reality, I would have grabbed that belt, snatched the microphone and told the crowd, 'he with the gold rules' and I would have walked out to the boos and never looked back.
No ref, doctor or commission official would of let that fight continue if the injury was spotted between rounds. It would not of happened. But as as been said, if that went on another 27 seconds Sonnen would of died.
I'm sure I'm not doing this right as my question has nothing to do with the actual post. I noticed that Machoman had banned under his name and the credits were red. Can someone explain how that whole system works?
You'll notice you have a little scale under your green bar, this is rep. If you see a post you like you can rep them, if you see posts you don't think are acceptable (racist, spam, or in mach's case trolling) then you can "neg" them. For Macho he was banned several times for breaking the rules, he came back and made two threads that I assume feel like trolling and the admins banned him again. Ban's can go from a week, to a day, to a year, to forever.
