Leonard Garcia is exciting to watch, but I don't know what the hell goes through his mind(and other fighters like him). You'd think after all the time in the gym, hitting the pads and working with his trainers his technique would improve, but it's straight dookie.

^^^ lol, for once i pulled for the wrestler cuz he impressed me the most throughout the show. Good to see Brookings comeback and after taking so making clean shots that most other fighters would have got ko'd from. Needs to definitely improve on his standup

Wow, every fight except the fucking Cody McKenzie/Aaron Wilkinson fight went to a decision.

Absolutely fucking exciting. [/sarcasm]

I'm so glad I decided to watch the Strikeforce event live and then the TUF finale afterwards.... so not worth my time.


On a side note, did anyone listen to Rogan literally blast the NSAC and Keith Kizer after the Nam/Garcia decision? He literally spent the entire Story/Hendricks fight shitting on the entire NSAC.

Kind of like cutting your own head off don't you think?

Anybody think Dana White might finally get on Rogan's case and tell him he needs to be careful what he says? He basically called most of the judges "incompetant morons".

^^I heard that and I think Joe Rogan needed to say it. He was trying to tell everyone that the score cards are fucked up sometimes and its not because the UFC is crooked or fixed, its because of idiots like the judges who gave Garcia that awful victory. Im glad he spoke on it cuz thats not the 1st time that bullshit happened.

Dana said it himself on more than one occasion that the judges score cards can really fuck up - thats why he always tells the fighters to finish it so the judges wont have a chance to screw it up. Id like to think Dana was happy Joe said something.

Im still pissed i didnt watch Strikeforce live, though.

Rogan has said shit like this before, and I know Dana White says this shit all the time.

However, Rogan has NEVER gone off on the subject DURING a show like he did that night. He said Keith Kizer is in denial about the issues and says there's like a couple of good judges surrounded by incompetant and ignorant ones.

He said this DURING a show, IN Nevada.

I mean, it's one thing to be interviewed when you're not busy "doing your job" and commenting as a fan... it's another to blast the organiztion allowing you to hold the fight in the first place while you're actually performing your job at the fights.

Dunno, I just saw what Rogan did as different from the usual "interview banter" you get from Rogan or White outside and actual UFC show.

Like I said, it's like cutting your own head off... whose to say Kizer won't just turn around and say, "You know what? How about we just don't approve any more UFC events in Nevada ever again?"

Would suck since the MMA "capital" of North America is in Vegas. Zuffa is there, major fight camps are there, etc...

Although, it would be a decent sized chunk of revenue gone from Nevada so I don't see Kizer doing it... but Rogan's comments DURING a show are the kind of thing that could negatively impact a relationship between the AC and the UFC.

Wether he's right or not (and he is), I just thought it was in poor taste to blast everyone while he's doing the job that, in a sense, the NSAC is providing him.

Kind of like when The Voice and Sefo and Kogan were high-fiving and celebrating when Overeem lost to Hari. Totally unprofessional.

Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale Fighter Salaries

The established veterans on the card, Demian Maia and Stephan Bonnar, made $80,000 and $62,000, respectively, for their wins at Saturday's The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale at the Pearl in Las Vegas.

Jonathan Brookins, who won the main event and TUF 12 title, earned $16,000. All the TUF 12 contestants on the card earned $8,000 to show and a $8,000 bonus if victorious.

Below are the salaries for all the fighters, courtesy of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Although Nam Phan is only listed as earning $8,000 on the commission records, it's been confirmed that he also received a "win" bonus by the UFC due to the especially controversial judges' decision.

In addition to the purses below, Phan (Fight of the Night), Garcia (Fight of the Night), Pablo Garza (Knockout of the Night) and Cody McKenzie (Submission of the Night) each won a $30,000 performance bonus.
