Hot Water for ‘Lil’ Heathen’

Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by ESPN.com's Chuck Mindenhall.

In the wake of UFC 144 in Saitama, Japan, Breen and Mindenhall discuss the outcome of Frankie Edgar-Benson Henderson and the MMA-wide discussions about scoring that the bout has instigated. The two discuss whether or not the climate of MMA regulation and judging has improved in recent years, and whether or not there are fundamental philosophical differences about fighting and judging that the sport can never reconcile.

Breen and Mindenhall also rap on video replay, open scoring, advice for Nevada Athletic Commission boss Keith Kizer and more.

Greg Jackson (Pictured), on “Beatdown,” discussing how Jake Shields poked Georges St. Pierre in the eye:

“Especially when you’re fighting somebody that’s bigger than you and they’re really launching a lot of power shots at you, it’s important to put something in the way. You can’t always just put your hand against your head like you do in boxing because the force isn’t dispersed in an [MMA] glove. A lot of times when you’re dealing with stronger people, you have to put your hands in the way and your arms in the way of their big shots and parry their big shots so they don’t get clean shots on you. Because one shot could end your night or your day. With your hands open like that it is much more of trying to anticipate the parry when punches come. I think what happened was Jake just didn’t think and he threw a jab, but his hand was still open. I don’t think Jake did it on purpose. I know him pretty well, and he’s a good guy.”
