MMA Fight Ends in Controversial Decision

Irix Catiline, Gladiator Magazine

The highly-anticipated GCS Super-Middleweight championship fight between Gerhard Cevak and defending champion Eulan Farix ended in controversy today when Cevak was named the winner in a split decision scorecard victory, despite Farix appearing to have dominated his opponent throughout the fight.

Cevak started strong in the first round, pressing an aggressive offense on Farix and even scoring two takedowns. The champion then proceeded to keep his distance from the challenger, though, peppering him with counters and takedowns, and by the third round Cevak was suffering from cuts above his left eye and lip. The challenger made a strong effort in the fifth and final round to score a knockout, but it appeared to be for naught as the bell rang until the judges’ scorecard was revealed.

While both fighters refused to comment on the decision, Farix’s trainer Taius Parlinax has condemned the judges for having “robbed” Farix of the title. “Very poor decision by anyone involved,” he said of the match. “[Cevak] does not deserve to think he’s the champ after this”.

No word on a rematch has been set, though GCS President Taun Gen has stated that such a match would be “Reassuringly: Very likely.”

Saw this live, thanks to a bunch of jocks that insisted on watching it through the dreaded Folk Music Night shift over here. Suffice to say I preferred the outrage over Merrick's inane flute-playing.

Wait, you had this on while someone was playing the flute? What kind of audience appreciates that?

Generally speaking, isn't it fairly common that after such a fight the loser by judges decision is calling the other a cheat?

If you get knocked out in a fight I'm pretty the other person won.

So where the fuck is the controversy?

I never saw the appeal of two people punching each other in the face a lot myself

Probably 'cause you're a waste of space.

This fight was a load of bullshit - lost 100 creds on something that should've been a sure win!

Yeah, I think we all know why you like watching people punch their faces in~

Is it because I'm krogan? Is that the joke you're making? I'm sorry, my low, undeveloped krogan mind cannot comprehend such deep, multi-layered jokes.

But, seriously, we aren't the only ones that do it. Turians have it instituted into their legal system, sooooo

Have you listened to turian flute music before?

IT IS NOISE

Yes that is the joke I was making at your expense good sir!


Sounds all right to me. Maybe your [translation: ears] are broken and you need to see a doctor

the only thing that needs fixing is that damned flute

We are talking turian flutes, right? I guess that can't be fixed. They come like this.
Just embrace the cultural differences.

Oh come on it can't be


















Wheel have mercy on you you poor poor man.

I

ow.

Salarians have no taste

Perhaps to your hyper-speed sense of auditory perception. That was received just fine over here ;)

Well of course you would be fine with it. The rest of us have to try to block it out with whatever is available at the moment.


Speaking of which I've picked up an eerie sudden interest in wrestling. Anybody catch the Iorax v. Hendon Superheavyweight Brawl a few days ago? Remind me never to get an elcor to punch me.
