    What has working in IT got to do with anything? :confused:
    It's a simple setting in the control panel. That's my screenshot from this page above, the poll isn't taking up 33% of the page.

    I'm suggesting you suggesting you change it so you don;t have to look at the poll so often. Why is this so hard to understand?

    Honestly, I don't see the problem. Scroll past like you would any post you've read. Takes 1 second - which is a lot less than the time you've lost whinging about it.

    Can't stop laughing at DC's "Thug Rose" x 50 when Namajunas won last night. :pac:

    That was extremely annoying. Have a bit of composure and say nothing if that's all you have to say.

    DC is a WWE fan. He sounded like he was mimicking the old commentator jim ross.

    It sounded crap and irritating to me.

    Great night of fights ,
    Anyone think that may be the end of JJ as being as feared as she was,
    She rarely gets hit but when she does she drops, She's now been dropped by, Karolina,Claudia and Rose all single shots by 3 straw weights , Her chin is her obvious weakness, instead of getting beaten up trying to take her downs people mite try walk her down ,

Maybe this doesn't happen for regulars and the annoying polls disappear if you vote. But as a visitor - it is very annoying.


    Well three title fights and a few options for each equals a bigger than usual poll.

    Unfortunately for you the majority here enjoy the poll, so it's not changing most likely.

    It's a shame the posts take up so much of your screen but luckily you worked in IT for 30 years so you should be ok to change the default settings.

    I backed rose by submission at 14/1 paddy power refusing to pay out saying it was a ko. Anyone know the best route to go regarding trying to get a payout? JJ clearly tapped..

    You won't get paid. Tapping to strikes doesn't count as submission! Buffer even announced it as Knockout!

    Some betting companies actually include verbal tapping due to strikes as a sub.

    Likely get nothing off Paddy Power, ref waved off fight late and not sure if he saw tap that everyone else did, it went down as KO officially too.

    The official result for the event was Rose won by KO/TKO - that's all that matters and is what bookies will go off.

    I don't think the ref even saw the tap, he just saw Rose get up and walk away and thought "better wave this off so".

    I am not disputing how the fight ended...I am saying the UFC have put the result down as by KO/TKO..thats the final word on it as far as the bookies are concerned. Unless the UFC go back and change the result of the fight (unlikely) then the records show it as a victory by KO/TKO.

    The ref didn't stop it because she tapped though. He stopped it because she was TKO'd. Official result was TKO.

    There have been situations where a fighter is hurt or injured and taps. And it goes down as a stoppage due to submission in the official results. In that case I'd expect to be paid.

    This happened once before, had rockhold backed to beat branch by sub, it looked like a ko and the result is a ko so maybe the mistake was with
    the bookies on this one? (paddy) I know pp didn't pay out on the tko on this bet as one poster here at the time came on gloating afterwards thinking he was sorted having had a treble up with rock ko being the last leg.
    Would love to know if any other bookie had paid out on the rock ko, I'd imagine most would have given it was the official result. I just got lucky surely and paddy got wise since, only
    found out the morning after.

    If I had backed rose sub I'd have been getting my hopes up after the above bet, don't think the ref saw it like marcos said.

    That was one of the best main UFC events in quite some time. No shame in Bispings loss, it was his match until he was unexpectedly KO'd - GSP snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, really, and fair damn play to him. Not to say that there was shame in anyone's loss obviously. The TJ/Corbrandt could've gone either way, though the Rose/Joanna was the real shocker imo.

    Call me red raw noob but where is the logic is a Conor vs GSP match? Discounting the whole spectacle aspect of it, but from a logical POV....it's not logical at all and I would hate for the UFC itself to internally become a spectacle match based on the back of the lucrative McGregor v Mayweather.

    The above still has the finish as TKO. Submission to strikes never counts as a submission! Happened recently enough too, could have been in a different organization
