Am i the only one who thinks Akiyama vs. Belcher wasn't a robbery at all?

[Pretty Boy1]

I had it 29 - 28 Sexyama!! I was shocked when Rogan start mouthing off about it being a robbery!!

[StillUnknown]

Rogan was dead wrong saying it was a robbery

i scored it 29-28 akiyama

[TheNegation]

Rogan was a bit biased because him and Belcher are buddies

I agree. You can hear bias in his commentary if you listen carefully.

Like when GSP was beating the **** out of Fitch, Joe Rogan made a comment about the tiny cut on GSP's head and remark about it being an "interesting turn of events" and it wasn't even a bad cut.

And when Werdum was finishing Gonzaga he was like "Oh no"


Sometimes also a fighter that he likes will throw a jab and he'll be like "nice shot there by insert fighter name here"

and then his opponent with throw an impressive combination and he won't say anything

I just rewatched the fight cause i had missed the ending on saturday, i though Akiyama won the first round clearly, second round goes to Belcher. Third round was a little close but Akiyama clearly won it.

When Rogan said it was a robbery i was like "Wtf?" it seems they always favor the american fighters.

What do you guys think?

By no means was the fight a robbery at all. Akiyama beat him at every aspect of the fight for three full rounds

I scored it 30-27 Akiyama although I wouldn't have argued with a 10-10 second round. As for Rogan I think he's just pretty crappy at calling the standup game.

I think this just about sums it up. You can argue a 10-10 rounds, but there is no way Belcher won a single round of the fight. Personally I scored it 30-27

Belcher and Rogan come from the same grappling school.

Rogan is a ****ing idiot. He's living proof that not anyone can commentate well. He always roots for certain fighters. It's sickening. I couldn't believe he kept pointing out **** for Belcher when he was getting tattoo'd in the first round.

[Cotto Rules]

Akiyama won it 29/28, that ***** didn't even give credit to Akiyama for punching Belcher's face into a ****in pizza, Belcher being the much bigger man. Akiyama could have KOed him. If he gets a good boxing trainer, with his powerful hands, he should go very far in the UFC.

i had akiyama for the win to. in fact, my first 4 picks all won that night. anyways, it was a clear victory in my eyes.

so, question is really, who besides rogan thought akiyama lost?

yeah, that bias commentary must have carried over into the darchinyin fight. i thought the commentary was HUGELY bias in that fight.

I had Akiyama winning as well. he took the first 2 rounds, and the last round was a toss-up IMO.

I don't know which fight rogan and goldberg were watching.

[TBEC2]

I had Akiyama winning every round, round 2 was close but i think Akiyama did enough to win that one too. Rogan should not be allowed to express his ignorant opinions while commentating just call the damn fight.

[Mozza]

I thought Akiyama won it at the time. You could make a case for Belcher but to call it a robbery is bordering on lunacy.

29/28, Akiyama.
