    That was just fcukin atrocious, it was bad enough seeing them scrap ( set up or not) in the street but for them clowns to actually broadcast it on the ppv makes no sense.

    Everyone who was gonna buy this trash has already bought it.

    Sooner idiot promotions like this go under the better

    shouldn't be called mma - its a wrestling formula, doesn't do anything for the sport


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 221 ✭✭Tito Ortiz


    Was that a real fight??? Looked like a sparring session with subs..

    Whatever it was you were doin i'd bet it was 10 times more interestin than that crap i watched.

    Seemed all staged to me, after all the trouble that went on between the 2 Reid was given a Rolex for his easy first round win, he then gave it away to Barrett.

    The whole show was cringeworthy, the idiots even played the fight (staged???) from outside the restaurant, great advertisement for mma

    Jesus UCMMA just threw itself back 5years. A decent promotion with some very good fighters. DOD is the biggest joke in the sport. This lad is supposed to be a professional. He once had an organisation in which Anderson Silva, Semtex and Babalu fought in to name just a few. Now he's reduced to this ****e for a quick shilling. Much and all as he is a dickhead, he did a lot for the sport in the UK but now he seems intent on undoing all his good work. And another thing his programme on sky sports in ****ing car crash tv.

    Agreed, a proper cockney wide boy whos "givin it large" on his cage fighter tv show, proper cringe that is

    I think we see far too much of him in the shows, i don't want to know who the promoter is, i don't need to know who the promoter is, just show me the fights and entertain me, promote the show and the fighters not yourself


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭JohnMc1


    I saw the "match" on Dailymotion. God what joke that was.


  • Registered Users Posts: 66 ✭✭jitz


    This whole saga was one of the worst things I have seen in MMA yet, really hope it does not become the norm. Here is the link for those interested:rolleyes:...

    That was definitely fixed. Barrett let him take him down and didn't try to defend those take downs at all.

    I feel sorry for people who actually paid for that event.

    Funny tweet from BAMMA:
    BAMMAUK BAMMA



    After seeing a few comments directed at us, we want to confirm that the Alex Reid "fight" last night had nothing to do with BAMMA. Please RT

    Total farce, fake punches with no power and if this was not a pretend fight then I can eat my own head.

    Sorry lads but this is more marketing genius from Dave O'D!

    Think about it! The fight was put forward.... you didn't wanna see it! Barrett started messing.... you didn't wanna see it!

    Alex Reid did his WWE thing... you didnt wanna see it. Barrett attacked Reid in he street.... you STILL didn't wanna see it!

    But now that the fight has been called fixed......... people wanna see it! I had no interest but now i'm dying to see the fight! GENIUS!!!!

    Dave O Donnell is a disgrace to MMA and his history shows it.

    This is a guy who was part of the creation of the worst rule in MMA: the open guard rule, which was: The "Open Guard" rule
    Cage Rage was the home of a unique rule in the world of cage-based MMA; the "open guard" rule. Designed to prevent stalling on the ground, it allowed a standing fighter to use strikes on a downed opponent that would otherwise be fouls.
    If a downed fighter was at least a meter away from the cage, on his back and able to avoid or defend against attacks, the referee would raise his arm and call "open guard". Once an open guard was called, the standing fighter could use the following attacks on their opponent:
    stomps,
    kicks or knees to the head, or
    flying attacks.
    Unless an open guard has been called, these strikes were fouls.
    This rule was introduced at Cage Rage 13 and was designed to prevent a fighter from laying in an open guard where his opponent can only throw leg kicks or drop to initiate grappling.

    He is also a guy who fúcked over Michael Bisping and stripped him of his Cage Rage belt for no reason, other than Wolfslair had a good relationship with a rival promotion.

    He then puts on a farce that is Alex Reid / Jason Barrett. The guy is a disgrace.

    I havent watched the "fight" and dont intend to but I heard it was just as fake as those three videos. Genuinely cringeworthy and embarrassing. :o

    BAMMA Twitter on Sunday
    @FRANKTRIGG @jimh31 @danhardymma he(Reid) retired to pursue an acting career, which I believe started last nigh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭r_obric


    how does anything about alex ried and mma get to 6 pages?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,615 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    If you change the default posts per page to 40, we're only barely on the 3rd page.
    doesn't seam as bad that way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭SDTimeout


    Really want to see this now and it seems all the links have been taken down.

    I can't believe some fans actually think that was legit. One guy even messaged me on FB saying Reid is a top class fighter and I shouldn't criticize them. 9-9 is top level? :rolleyes:

    I know England is regulated differently to the US and doesn't have athletic comissions. But does anyone know if their is a body who can investigate and punish UCMMA over this fixed fight?

    If there was gambling on it then there might be a case for legal action, but otherwise I don't think so as its not an official fight in any capacity
