Tim Sylvia vs Frank Mir UFC 48 Classic Championship Fight

[@georgemartinez8405]

This is why, refs who were fighters themselves, are needed. Herb Dean made a great call, and even Sylvia praised Herb Dean after.

[@jhonsepulvedo6750]

Nice stoppage herb dean

[@JohnLocke1776]

For real

[@tedmorris1934]

Had Herb Dean not stopped it when he did, Sylvia would've had a prosthetic arm the rest of his life because Mir would've taken it home with him.

[@rashadw3933]

“Oh, shit!” - herb dean

[@Albect777]

Herb knew exactly what he saw... that arm was indeed broken...

[@warpath6666]

Yeah, the last thing that Herb wanted to do was make a bullshit call. Herb knew what happened (y)

[@andrewverrett568]

Uneducated crowds back then. That arm snapped. And yes after the fight he went to the hospital and it was indeed broken. You can see it starting to swell after the fight.

[@valmirdias5890]

Yes, it broke in two places. Herb Dean was perfect in his decision.

[@paleo704]

Crowd didn’t know. Mir didn’t even know. Sylvia said it was fine and wanted to fight on. Once it was shown on the replay everyone got it

[@johnsambo9379]

I was there. The fans weren't uneducated. You couldn't see it snap in the seats obviously. Plus Tim was acting like there was nothing wrong. Quit being a turd.

[@tuxsito5704]

Fr.... Dude was literally arguing that his arm was NOT broken to the ref. You think the fans aren't going to believe him?

[@k.c.r.5974]

Not so uneducated but it was a championship fight and they wanted to see a fight and to them it seemed like the ref called it without Timothy PED Sylvia tapping. Little Joey Rogain seemed pretty irritated with the crowd though as well but yeah Frank Murr won but honestly...let them fight. If you don't tap it ain't over...Sylvia was foolish going to the ground with Murr though

[@InfiniteNaos]

If you notice very carefully when Mir and Silvia started chatting his right forearm muscles were already swelling and looking bigger than his left forearm. It was broken…

[@gfreeman9843]

Tom was favouring the arm afterwards, hardly moving it..nice call 🌿 Herb. It was only going to get worse.❤ Herb's the man. That lock was on and about to be cinched tighter.

[@packpock4369]

Oh for sure, that was one of the best calls in that situation..Hell fast forward to big Nog you know Mir had to have had that go through his mind when he got Nog's arm he was going to break it in half no doubt. It sucks for them but damn Mir has beautiful technique, hell that's why you tap so that doesn't happen. Now you're out healing for months what would you rather do?

[@durawins]

@@gfreeman9843who’s Tom ?

[@forrestmalcom8351]

Mir stated he will break your arm instead waiting for his opponent to tap

[@sandman9413]

That's why Herb was among the best in the business

[@chrislewis5069]

Tough break for Sylvia no pun intended

[@Bucsfan124ever1]

Mir is a legend and pioneer of mma. Totally deserving of ufc hof(not that's very credible) just would be cool

[@FrankbullittSFPD]

I agree. He fought anyone he was offered and beat most of em. For that matter Tim Silvia ought to be there too.

[@tooakki]

I agree.

[@22vx]

Excellent stoppage by an excellent ref

[@howardcraigiv518]

Tim in Power Slap could be very interesting. Frank was one of my Guys back in the Day. After that motorcycle accident he was never the same fighter. Franks Son has pretty solid skills to one day follow his Fathers foot steps.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

That woman clearly has Never seen an Arm Get broken Before 🙄

[@juniorcarreto6474]

É realmente é difícil de entender o ser humano. O Silvia já com o braço quebrado e a turma vaiado a vitória limpa e clara do Frank.. francamente viu . Queria que Silvia continuasse a lutar sem o braço é... ? . Gostam tanto do ídolo assim , a ponto de querer vê lo sem braço é kkkk sinceramente viu KKK ser humano é mesmo bicho complicado ...

[@SilvaMoreti]

São os fãs de merda sem empatia Não respeitam o próximo 😏 Bando de falsos e ingratos.

[@Buddhistview145]

Sylvia tried to scam everyone, walking around shaking his head, rather than admit he lost; sore loser.

[@9ers4L]

Wher do u get sore loser from wen he never tapped? I don't understand sum comments wen u cud not do wat this man did. If ur arm wud hav ben put n that position, u probably wud hav ben screaming lik a girl getn her pulled😂😂😂

[@wolfwoof1870]

Remember that time Tim pooped 💩 himself during a fight

[@neivaldoduarte4576]

Se o árbitro deixa seguir e o cara quebra o braço, o árbitro é o culpado; se ele interrompe, tbm é culpa dele por parar a luta cedo demais... and now?! Tremenda farsa do Sylvia... ele sabia que estava com o braço quebrado... e a entrevista dele?! Deveria ter se posicionado; se o fez, não sabemos.

[@ericbowers1471]

Frank Mir could’ve been one of the lone reigning champions in the UFC had it not been for his motorcycle accident

[@bretthumphrey6821]

They should've let them keep fighting tim doesn't seem in pain bad refing

[@jose.rocharaimundo5414]

Grande Frank Mir heavy Weigert champ ion the world

[@thehumblest2915]

4 month suspension for PED's? That's just a training camp.
