Shoulda been here for the epic debacle over the title fight cut.

[Deleted]

Haha somebody lost a title fight because they had a cut. Please tell me that the fighter was one of Kruzes.

[xx - Team GAP]

yes the fighter who lost was kruzers... it was a cut stoppage in under 30 seconds... it was super lame cause I wanted to see a fight. It totally wasn't a fight. LAME!!!! BTW did we finalize that rule to give rematches to people who have a cut stopppage under 30 seconds yet?

Haha I bet he had a full tantrum.
