Apparently they want to enforce some ######ed rules now that pretty much guarantees that the UFC will cancel the event.

:angry:

My once chance to enjoy something at the Bell centre this spring, now that the Canadiens have tanked, and the bastards want to take that away from me. What happened....were the Language Police having a slow week, so they deployed their officers to look into MMA rules instead? :puke: :puke: :puke:

Just realized this is in the wrong forum...will a mod please help and put it in the lounge?

Ratner, who has been in close contact with both the RACJ and commission in the last few days, said he believes the genesis for the sudden turn-around came from the near-riot that occurred last Friday at a Strikebox/Titans Fighting event in Montreal.

That event, promoted by former TKO president Stephan Patry, aimed to utilize MMA striking rules, but negated the ground aspect of the sport. However, the commission advised Patry that the proposed rule changes would not be allowed, and that the show would follow MMA regulations instead.

A private agreement amongst a majority of the fighters to keep the bouts standing was followed until the main event, when British brawler James Thompson took down Steve Bosse and began to ground-and-pound the Canadian hockey enforcer. The crowd of nearly 1,200 spectators erupted in disapproval, throwing chairs and beer cans. The commission called the contest, while the fighters had to be escorted out of the cage by security.

Reminds me of a Georges Carlin monologue. Said we should take a 100 000 of those men, those "preening, posturing, alpha male jack-offs", put them in a stadium and have them fight to death for a couple of days, with nothing but whisky and PCP, until there's only one guy standing. Then you take him, put him on a pedestal... and shoot him in the mf'ing head.
