As I type this, one of the strangest post fight press conferences since Dana White and Nick Diaz's back and forth at UFC 137 is going down. Here's some play by play: Dana is hunched over the podium angrily gripping while explaining how much the referees at UFC 149 sucked. Then he kind of just accepts the irony of Tim Boetsch possibly breaking his foot on Hector Lombard and exclaims and curses. Then White is peeved. Seriously peeved. There are multiple expressions of disappointment in the card and then Dana pulls out an old school reference and says this is the worst show since UFC 33. Which is really, really bad. Then Matt Riddle calls out Dan Hardy and Dana jokes about him hating British people. Unbelievably, it turns out a UK fan spit in Riddle's mouth in Manchester and Riddle goes off on a rant that has to be seen to be believed.

You know it's bad when Ben Askren tweets this:

Even Hendo got in on it.

Here, just click 'read more' and watch the presser. It's a billion times better than the PPV.

Thats almost like saying "it's gonna be hot in hell" or "it's gonna rain during a hurricane." Big stretch on making that call man. You must be a real nostradamus.

Please put up that Riddle rant when you can, that was some bizarre shit more entertaining than the whole card.

Wait... I'm confused. What was bad about the reffing? Seriously... not trying to be a smart-ass or anything. Everything seemed fair/equal. Even though I was rooting for Lombard I can see it how it was... so where was the bad reffing?

He's talking about Lavine in the Kongo fight. He let them clinch for the whole fight. I agree, Lavine should be shot.

Were the hell has this idea that Brits have bad teeth? This totally isn't true also we have free dental so we got better odds of having better theeth than the Americans! Thats like going "All Americans are fat" "All Americans are thick" "All Americans shoot up cinemas" whats the point of silly crap like he's saying I respected him as a fighter but he's went down a peg in my book.

woaaaahh! too soon dude. and that stereotype comes from the idea that our dental insurance programs are better, free does not mean better, it means free. Also, we put fluoride in our water supply. Our water is second to none. And generally we're used to seeing snaggle toothed brits.

I just must not see them in our media then it really only the Americans who say this about the brits I've never seen it by anyone else? So thats bad teeth for the brits, fat unintelligent for the yanks. Suppose I should say something about the Japanese to even it out...

I actually thought the card was decent. As a fan of MMA I'm kind of surprised some fighters & fans don't appreciate it for more than just excitement.

I can understand the average fan who just wants to see finishes, but I learned a lot from watching even matches. How styles might cancel each other out, injuries and adjustments to gameplans, seeing how one ore two shots can create apprehensivenes s etc...

Even watching the clinch there is a lot going on that people don't see with shifting weight, heart rate through the roof, and attempts to create openings.

Of course, from a sport perspective I guess it's kind of like a NFL game that is 3-3 in the 4th quarter, but still... better than people running away for 3-5 rounds.

im all for technical fights. actually, i liked the main event even though it could have been better if faber learned how to check a leg kick...but the way the kongo/jordan and lombard/boetsch went where they were just standing there is boring. i dont watch to see people get ktfo every fight (even though it is great) but i do want to see two people trying to work.

The main card was garbage. Barao vs Faber was technical, but Urijah didn't do much at all. Barao carried the fight imho

It's never a good thing when the post fight interviews are better than most of the entire main card. Let's hope the law of averages even things out with a completely off the chains, melt your face, barn burner card in the near future.

On another note, remember the good ol' days when we'd get the occasional rumor mill on Sundays? Man that was fun, wish that would happen again.

Hector Lombard is just another fighter with a lot of talent and a decent win streak against NON UFC fighters.
