Terrible PPV and didn't live up to the hype. Seemed rigged to set up Ortiz-Shamrock 3.
Why didn't John McCarthy ref both big matches? He would never have ended it so quickly.



I've seen Mcarthy make some bad calls too. I don't think it was rigged at all. Ken got smashed hard by 2 hard elbows, then stopped moving his arms and defending. If you've got an animal like Tito on you and your not coherant, it's night night time. Yes he got up quick but he's a fighter and recovers fast. Herb made the right call IMO.


As much as I was complaining about the early stoppage, the rules state if a fighter can't inteligently defend himself, the ref can stop the fight. Tito would've mauled him if Dean didnt stop it. Shamrock can take a beating, as we saw in the first fight. He just needed to be a bit more active.

It wasnt rigged. Zuffa has spent millions on legalizing the sport and getting it into the mainstream. They, and MMA in general, have plenty to lose if it was rigged.
