Cecil Peoples: If you don’t like the way I scored ‘Machida vs Shogun’ you can go to hell

Quoteworthy:
“The fans and all the naysayers, I don’t worry about. I don’t back down because it’s not popular. My thing is, Rua did hit him more. But Machida hit him harder, especially in the early rounds. I’m really perplexed about how you give (Rua) [Round 1], because Shogun was kicking (Machida) a lot in the legs, but every time he kicked him in the legs, he got hit in the face. Shogun would put his hand up, and Machida would go right through, sweat’s flying off (Rua’s) face. Shogun kicked (Machida) in the belly –- that’s how he got the red mark. But you gotta remember, Machida is stepping back, so ...
Cecil Peoples: ‘If You Don’t Like It, You Can Go To Hell’

Cecil Peoples is sick and tired off all the hate and mockery that’s been thrown his way over the years. He has a reputation as a judge who often scores the fight for the loser, and it seems all the public outcry over his most recent decision has pushed him to the boiling point. As far as he’s concerned, if you don’t like how he judges fights, “you can go to hell.” Yeah, he said that.
“So you in a bar with 200 people that are sloppy drunk, and you’re gonna argue with me about the decision?” he asked. “How does that work? Only in America. I give the fight to Machida in a very, very close fight. Now you’re pissed ...

“So you in a bar with 200 people that are sloppy drunk, and you’re gonna argue with me about the decision? How does that work? Only in America. I give the fight to Machida in a very, very close fight. Now you’re pissed off because it’s my fault that you lost your money. No, it’s not. It’s Machida’s fault. If you don’t like it, you can go to hell.”

Cecil Peoples, you win the Cagewriter facepalm of the week!
Cage Writer —
Ah, MMA judge Cecil Peoples. Your name is already synonymous with questionable decisions. After the close, disputed decision for Lyoto Machida, you said that "good fans" would have agreed with you. Then, you said that leg kicks just can't win fights. Those who don't agree? Go to hell. Despite the fact that leg kicks can win fights, and have done so on many occasions, you don't win this award for your judging prowess. No, you get it because you can't stop running your mouth. Something that comes along with the job of the judge is the fact that quite often, people won't agree with your decisions. If you feel the need to justify your ...

[image] There was a ton of news going on this week in MMA. Here’s a whole horde of information you can’t just start the new week and new month without knowing: In this video interview Dan Henderson talks about why he has not signed a new contract with the UFC and why he is currently pro MMA homeless. Remember when TUF veteran Corey Hill ’s leg was rubberized at the UFC Fight for the Troops event? Corey plans to be back in the Octagon maybe around January. Lyoto Machida needs hand surgery and won’t be giving that rematch to Shogun any time soon and Anderson Silva is still recovering from elbow surgery and won’t be fighting ...
