    True not as a rule but if you look at the

    MATT HUGHES vs CARLOS NEWTON - 1st fight it does look like Hughes is out and by the time he falls to the mat he is awake and fighting again.

    Food for thought but most times if your out your out cold.

    yoshida is just concerned about the safety of royce. who knows what will happen if that choke was not stopped?

    royce would've led us through a boring 2 hour match of "domination," with no submission in sight.

    ...like the second fight.

    or, who knows. maybe rickson would've laser blasted them both.

    Yep...AND leap tall buildings in a single bound!

    I saw the first match and IMHO Royce was ripped off. When Wallid put him out he went under and happily said so. Royce would have gladly admitted a loss to Yoshida if the choke had been anything like on. The fact he didn't strongly suggests to me he was "jipped"

    Royce didn't care if he lost because I bet he knew he could've beat Yoshida but Yoshida got Royce in a choke but yeah Royce wasn't out then.

    Yeah, ive got the full match. It's 40.1mb if anyone wants it. I'll have to send it over msn tho!

    I thought it looked like Royce was concious as well, but when i take a second look at it, he didn't seem to be doing anything to show he was alright, he was just laying there not moving at all so i could understand why Yoshida was declared the winner.

    I was going to cut it up, and compress it to something smaller so i could put it on my webspace but it's .wmv extention and Adobe Premeire dont like them so ill need a wmv to .mpeg converter.

    Top grapplers are noted for resting and waiting for opportunity. IF Royce goes "limp" he could very well be taking a breather. Take a look at Genki Sudo. Notorious for having a break and then exploding into some of the best subs you will ever see.....

    I think the main problem here is not whether the choke was on, but the ref stopping it at Yoshidas request. Here we have a match with agreed upon rules, where the home town fighter calls upon the ref to break those very rules........

    Just to stir up a hornets nest. Take a close look at the choke, I dont even think it was on, Royce isnt even defending it...... :eek:

    He didn't look out to me

    Here's two links of the alternate angle (which pride japan didn't show...even though they always show at least three different angles after a fight's over)of Royce supposably getting choked. one of the commentators (think it was Bas) even says it was a pre-mature stoppage.

    I think it was just the ref who screwed up. From what I heard Yoshida was asking him if Royce was out. I think it would have been difficult for him to know, seeing as Royce wasn't being very active.

    Excellent post :D I can't imagine the pressure placed on ref's sometimes...

    I had a feeling that it wasn't a submisson because yeah Royce wasn't really choked out.

    Yeah; the ref didn't see him reaching in getting some breathing space so i dont blame him for ending the fight. The ref's main concern is the safety of the fighters, and if he see's one fighter choking the other, and the other one doesn't appear to be moving then i really dont blame him for ending it.

    from yoshidas position, he cant really see whats going on. the ref should not have stopped that fight, but I wouldnt blame it solely on yoshida.
