Anyone else think Dong Hyun Kim got robbed? I've only seen the fight once but I thought he took it.

yeah, Karo had one throw and threw some haymakers that hit Kim in the arms.. big whoop. Karo will never be top 5 in the shape he's in. He hasn't gotten any better in in skill set lately it seems either.

I agree. Kim deserved that win. Those judges were doing some funky scoring that night though, like Guida only getting a split decision.

I didn't think too much of Kim either, to be honest. He won the first round for sure, but the second and third were close, and I thought Karo edged him personally. No robbery in my opinion.

i really wish they would cut karo or at least put him on the damn prelims

Karo is all judo. He got out-judo'd in that fight and had no idea what to do. Dong got robbed.

Yup he was robbed. That decision annoyed me more than seeing penn look rubbish.

Double post.

I lol'd when Rogan called Parisyan "one of the most likable fighters in the UFC" then when he won, the crowd almost unanimously booed him.

x2 lol I noticed that.

I just thought Kim was all round better and really entertaining to watch. I felt really bad for him on the dana white blog after the fight when he tells his translater to tell Dana that he 'will try harder next time'

I'm like shoutin at the screen 'you got robbed brahh!' lol. hope he comes back strong.

side note : lol at bonner crying on danas blog

I don't think either fighter deserved to win.........there needs to be draws w/o point deductions........(yes, adding to the difficulty of a judge's job, but so what.....)

ArmbarTapout · 02-03-2009, 07:36 PM

I don't think he was robbed, but I had him winning a very close split decision. And I was rooting for Karo.

But I also think Kim should have lost the decision to Matt Brown that he won, so this fight pretty much balanced out the universe.

Yeah, pretty sure most people don't like Karo, especially after he went after Nate Diaz in TUF.

The judges have been terrible lately.

Guida should have gotten some 10-8 rounds for a unanimous fo sho..

HulkHagen · 02-03-2009, 09:21 PM

I thought it could've went either way. Kim definitely won the first round and I thought Karo took the second... the third was a boring clinch-fest that I guess they gave Karo.

Karo has nice judo throws but he almost never does anything out of them.... half the time when he hits a throw his opponent is back to his feet in a matter of seconds, which is a shame because Karo has some pretty good GnP when he can actually maintain a top position.
