Claude Patrick Has a Legitimate Gripe About UFC 115 Submission Bonus

Publicly, UFC fighters will always tell you that they don’t count on receiving an end of the night bonus check. Privately however, they’re looking at their counterparts on each fight card and calculating their chances of pocketing some extra cash.

UFC newcomer and Canadian MMA veteran Claude Patrick admitted as much in a post on the Underground Forum earlier today, where he wrote that he had sized up the lineup and concluded that the Submission of the Night bonus would likely be awarded either to himself or fellow submissions expert Mike Pyle.

Of course, that’s not how it went down, and the end result was both Patrick and Pyle going home somewhat disappointed after the UFC elected to award Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic the $85,000 bonus for Submission of the Night at UFC 115.

Hardly a day goes by where I don’t get an e-mail from some poor soul who complains that while he loves getting commentary on the prior weekend’s MMA action, he absolutely hates being forced to read in order to get it. ‘What about semi-illiterate brutes like me?’ he asks. ‘Isn’t there any way for us to get our MMA fix?’

Okay, so I don’t really get those emails, but I assume it’s only because the people who might write them can’t figure out how to send them. Regardless, now there’s a solution. In just a few minutes time you can get all the pithy commentary you need, and the only price you’ll pay is being forced to look at my face in between the photos. Not a bad trade, eh?

In the first episode, join me for a look back at the UFC 115 main event, as well as a couple of thoughts on Pat Barry and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic. Or don’t. Just go back to reading words like some sucker. Your call.

Chuck Liddell may have lost his ability to take a punch, but he still had enough offensive firepower at UFC 115 to break Rich Franklin’s arm with the first body kick he threw. Following their meeting on Saturday night, Ace confirmed that he broke his left ulna during the fight, and would be in a cast for at least eight weeks. As the former UFC middleweight champ told reporters at the post-fight press conference:

"I definitely wasn’t going to quit — I’ve broken bones before and continued fighting — but there was part of me that was wondering what kind of strategy I was going to use to win the fight with a broken left arm in the second and third rounds."

…proving once again that knocking your opponent out early is always the best gameplan. (Are you listening, Pat?) Liddell woke up from his knockout with a horribly split lip and a gash over his left eye, but that didn’t stop him from making an appearance at his afterparty. A photographic timeline of Chuck’s night continues after the jump.

Rich Franklin Puts Chuck Liddell on Ice; Underdogs Have Their Day at UFC 115

No matter the sport, the great ones always seem to hold on a bit too long. Emmitt Smith closed out his football career as a struggling tailback for the Arizona Cardinals, Babe Ruth hit .181 in his last year for the Boston Braves and Michael Jordan clanged jumpers off the iron for the lowly Washington Wizards.

The last memory of Chuck Liddell in the Octagon is also likely to be a sight that most fans would rather not remember. After a spirited round in which he showed more variety to his offense than he’s shown in years, it all came crashing down around the legend. Despite his newfound diet and his hard work, the lasting image of Liddell from UFC 115 was like the few that had come in the fights directly before it: Liddell falling backwards, his head bouncing backwards to the mat as he fell unconscious. This time the punch came from Rich Franklin, putting a close on the event, and likely Liddell’s career.

Asked if it was the end for the UFC Hall of Famer, UFC President Dana White answered directly.

In MMA, we’re constantly being reminded that one of the many things that makes our sport great is the mutual respect and admiration between the athletes. As fans, there’s something inspiring about seeing two guys pound each other for 15 minutes and then smile and shake hands afterward. It’s also fun to see guys fight when it seems like they’re really enjoying themselves. The sportsmanship, the camaraderie, the brotherhood; that stuff is great. But last night at UFC 115, all the smoking-and-joking and gripping-and-grinning might well have cost Pat Barry a win.
