Jaime Varner is a giant baby

The W.E.C. put on a great show last night, right until Jaime Varner's man parts took center stage.  The earlier fights were great, including Mark Hominick over Yves Jabouin (fight of the night), and Eddie Wineland over Will Campuzano (KO of the night).  Then all hell broke loose.  Varner took on a very game Kamal Shalorus, whose game plan was clearly to take out Varner's lead leg.  He successfully landed a bunch of outside leg kicks, but when he tried to go inside he ran into trouble.  First one clipped the cup on it's way to Varner's inner thigh.  After complaining for a couple minutes the fight resumed.  The second inside leg kick after watching on replay landed clean on inner thigh, but his big toe MAY have brushed up against Varner's cup on the way.  Varner went down like he'd just been castrated.  He complained and cried until referee Josh Rosenthal took a point from Shalorus.  Sure enough he tried the inside leg kick again, and sure enough he managed to find Varner's business.  This time it was a clean groin shot, no argument here.  However, this is where i start to think Varner is playing this up to win a decision.  You can even hear him asking the ref, during his five minute rest period, if he took another point.  Are you joking me Varner??? You were given a chance to catch your breath and make sure you weren't injured from the illegal blow, and your concern was if your opponent was punished again.  That's not what fighting is about.  Varner clearly fights to win, but not in a good way.  We earlier saw this in his fight against Donald Cerrone, who was beating the bleep out of him until he got careless and hit Varner with an illegal knee to a downed opponent.  Varner refused to continue, and was awarded the win.  From a fan's perspective, this is as bad as it gets.  Go out there and fight, or find a new job.  Hopefully that's why the judges did what they did (fight was a draw) because they had to punish Shalorus, and because after hearing Varner complain about not taking points, they just couldn't give him the win.

  1. I agree, can somebody throw this guy out of the WEC. He is an embarassement to the sport, and clearly wants to win in sleazy ways
