The ref SUCKED, they need to have a rematch,( Rick & Bulldog) Ref even knew he made a bad call, he should be fined, and BIG & be suspened for the next few months. Even Bulldog if he was any kind of a fighter would want that also!!! If Bulldog can admit that he has never been hit that hard and counln’t beleive that Rick took a punch like that and got up, he should request a rematch himself, and not take the win on a bad call. They all kew it was….
April 18th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
ABSOLUTELY! that reff always sucks. petz is the man tho. hes the best reff
April 19th, 2010 at 1:02 am
Not take the win??? That’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Now atleast Bo knows what it’s like to take a step up in competition.
April 19th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
I watched the fight and he looked like Rick was out goin down…not sure if he was!!! Just looked like it from my spot…but i guess what I have to say is…why would the winner asked for a rematch if he won…it is not his fault the fight was stopped! He won…and thats that!
April 19th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Wow….this is crazy! The ref must have seen something everyone else must have missed! They don’t just stop fights for the thrill of it!
April 20th, 2010 at 12:00 am
not take the win???how about why does Rickey have to take a loss when the ref said himself “that he called it to early, and if he could take it back he would”…yes it did kinda look like he was out on the way down, but if he was there is no way he could have jumped right back up…have we ever seen someone take a good punch or what??? isnt this cage fighting??? and by the way there have been many times a ref has made a bad call….i dont think that fight should be on either one of their records and everyone else obviously knows that too or people wouldnt even be discussing it…. defiantly should have a rematch…
April 20th, 2010 at 1:54 am
i have the upmost respect for the ref(jerry) and every ref. we respect the decision whether it is right or wrong. they are ammatuers and it was said in every rules meeting that the refs will protect them. we will be requesting a rematch. not to take anything away from conley but i have personally hit sandlin harder than that and the kid is tough as nails and keeps comn. i am some what happy in a weird way to see sandlin work 100x harder now,if thats possible.
April 20th, 2010 at 3:18 am
sandlin never fought a good striker befor with that kind of power and when he did he got knocked out get over it some people just cant take punches. sorry. sandman got put to sleep get over it.
April 20th, 2010 at 3:24 am
pacman needs to worry about his own record. it looks like he is having a tough time himself. spend more time training and less time typing just a tip. pacman / sandlin go try to get better. p.s if sandlin gets hit like that in the gym and spins in circles i feel sorry for him.
April 20th, 2010 at 4:20 am
Good job Kallai!
April 20th, 2010 at 6:28 am
I THINK I SEEN BULLDOG GET ROCKED TO,AND WAS GRABING FOR SOME ANKLES.AND HAD HIS ASS IN A TRIANGLE SLOBERING ALL OVER HISSELFE.SO I WOULDN’T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM EATHER FIGHTER.KEEP IT REAL PEOPLE.THE REF SHOULD OF LET IT GO.BECAUSE IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE THE FIGHT JUST GOT STARTED.IT’S CAGE FIGHTING.NOT I’M GLAD THE REF DIDN’T LET THE FIGHT GO ON.BECAUSE SANDLIN JUST TOOK MY BEST SHOT,AND GOT RIGHT UP.I THINK THERE WOULD OF BEEN A DIFFERENT OUTCOME TO THE FIGHT.KEEP IT REAL PEOPLE,THATS ALL,KEEP IT REAL.

bill09 think you need to worry bout yourself. you have no clue what ur talkn about. i always carry myself in a respectful way and so do all the fighters from triple threat mma. point i was makn was there should be a rematch and im not the only one who thinks so. it was a good fight and hopefully we will see it again.
April 20th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
totally impressed with following triple threat had! alot of tough looking dudes, this pacman guy must know what hes doing. sandman looked like he got ko’d then shot up like nothing,crazy…def want to see a rematch. too quick of a stoppage.
April 20th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Seems like Bill09 needs his ass beat in the cage.Why don’t you step your ass in the cage with SANDLIN.Don’t know the man,but shit talkers useally get the shit beat out of them.To take a shot like that and to get right back up like nothing.You have to be a bad ass.

I think Bill09 needs to step in the cage with SANDLIN.Maybe he will shut his mouth or get it shut i think.To take a shot like that and get right back up like nothing.You have to be a Bad Ass.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
pacman pizzi- i always carry myself in a respectful way and so do all the fighters from triple threat mma.
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
That’s all.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
maybe we can make it a tag match – haywood and bill09 vs sandlin and pacman. i think sandlin and pacman would ‘respectfully’ lay the smackdown on those two jabronies!
April 20th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
“i think sandlin and pacman would ‘respectfully’ lay the smackdown on those two jabronies!”
For the quote above.—NOT A CHANCE IN HELL.—
Look, I just think it’s BS that his friends and team come on here saying things like “not take the win” and this other shit that totally takes away the fact that Conely dropped Bo face down on the mat and got the WIN! It is very disrespectful to Conley and his team. And to who ever keeps saying “this is cagefighting isn’t it?” No you dumb fuck it’s called MMA actually!!!
April 21st, 2010 at 12:25 am
i miss the part where he was disrespecting conley or his team. alot of people want to see conley and sandlin part two. he was stateing the obvious. u guys and your shit talking naafs board. grow up and get a life. without haters,your nothing. lol
April 21st, 2010 at 3:37 am
Its so funny.. Obviously there was something fishy about the call if everyone is so hyped up about it.. And i dont really see or read anything about triple threat disrespecting any fighters just shit talkers on a NAAFS blog… Ricky Sandlin is a beast and Conley didnt seem like no bitch neither, but all any one from Bo’s team and friends can hope for is a rematch and i gurantee different results… Hopefully NAAFS reads these blogs because i think i know what fight people will pay to see.. and who they would have there money on.
April 21st, 2010 at 12:06 pm
How can you be a beast and not finish a fight having your opponet in a triangle for that long???????, or did everyone that was there forget the 1st round…….1 of 2 things going on there. 1 you don’t train like you should or 2 your coach/teammates don’t know how to teach you the proper technique for the triangle. Who is the BJJ coach for Triple Threat?, from the looks of it they don’t have one. My money is on the Bulldog if they fight again.
April 21st, 2010 at 12:45 pm
As i said earlier….The ref must have seen something that made him feel he needed to stop the fight! So it all comes down to personal opinion from everyone there and as for a rematch…that will be up to the NAAFS and the two fighters and their coaches. I was on the stage around both teams (triple threat and Team Titan) and both teams conducted themselves in a professional manner and treated each other with respect. So, I don’t see the whole disrespect comments working here! After all, this is amateur MMA and it is all practice for the time these guys go pro! So maybe, the better place for a rematch is at the pro ranks where they will get paid for the fight since everyone wants to see it!
April 21st, 2010 at 12:46 pm
I was at the fights and competed.. and I think everybody needs to jus chill and wait on the rematch bitchin and complainin about it aint gonna make it happen any sooner I promise and I know when it does happen we will all including myself be ready to see the outcome….
April 21st, 2010 at 5:11 pm
What’s Rick’s plans for goin pro? I have to agree with Bad Intention’s thoughts though…the plan was for this fight to be the final amateur appearance for the Bulldog! So we are open to a rematch, but it will have to be a pro fight down the road! So if you guys are interested in that, We would be interested in that! Best of luck on all Triple Threat MMA’s future fights and be safe…
April 21st, 2010 at 5:36 pm
i told you deven Ludwig would get beat hahaha he didnt make it out of the 1st round lol
April 21st, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Are you kidding me, not take a win? What kind of moron says that? Ricky, go out get a few wins under your belt, against better competition, then ask for a rematch not after you got KTFO.
April 21st, 2010 at 8:00 pm
i do not have plans for sandlin goin pro anytime soon. i agree with most of the comments about,’should of finished the triangle and ‘not fighting stiff competition’. this is why i brought him to naafs,to face stiff compeition like brandon conley. hes a ammatuer with a ton of growth potential. this was his first fight in naafs which ended up being co-main and our sole represenitive that night. im proud of the good things he did and we will be endlessly workn on the mistakes he made. when we do decide to go pro then i will be definatley requesting that rematch,but BP said its all up to naafs reps. titan mma is all class and i wish all of them well and look forward to competeing againest them in the future.
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:06 pm
DID SANDLIN GET KO???NO!!!I THINK HE TOOK CONLEY’S BEST SHOT AND GOT RIGHT BACK UP DUMB ASS.I THINK I DID SEE CONLEY GET ROCKED AND WAS RUNNING LIKE A SCARED LITTLE BOY GRABING FOR SANDLIN’S ANKLES.I DON’T THINK WHATS!!! DUMB ASS WAS WATCHING THE SAME FIGHT.WHY DON’T YOU STEP YOUR ASS IN CAGE WITH SANDLIN???WATCH DON’T GET KTFO.AND IF CONLEY’S JEWJITSU IS SO GOOD.HOW DID HE WIND UP IN SANDLIN’S TRINGLE.MUST NOT BE THAT GOOD???WHO IS HIS JEWJITSU COACH.HE MUST NEED SOME MORE TRAINING TO.SO STOP TALKING SHIT AND LOOK AT YOUR OWN BOY.YOU NEVER SEEN SANDLIN RUNNING FROM CONLEY ONCE.YOU NEED TO WATCH THE FIGHT AGAIN
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Are you one of Sandlin’s boys or are you with triple threat? Either way you are not a good representative for neither. You should stop posting.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:33 pm
No one from Team Titan is bashing on anyone on here…so please don’t start slamming on us…I don’t know who this “I am” poster is and really don’t care, but we have not come on here and done anything but wish Triple Threat best of luck in future events! This thread is what gives the average person a bad impression of this sport! As for his jui-jits-u, we never claimed he was a black Belt or anything…he is still learning.
April 22nd, 2010 at 11:45 pm
all i have to say is” way to go wolfman “
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:17 am
conley vs sandlin = sandlin face down in the mat = conley wins via ko 2nd rd.
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
if your going to post get your facts right TKO…….because sandlin never got knocked out….
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Since Sandlin is such a bad ass and conley shouldn’t take the win, have the badass fight the likes of Travis Soto, if Conley TKO’ed you, you don’t want Soto to touch your chin. Weren’t they suppose to fight in another promotion?????, Soto and Sandlin and Sandlin dicktucked…..
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:56 pm
THIS IS SANDLIN.I NEVER DICKTUCKED FROM ANYONE.ITS NOT IN ME TO DO SO.I WAS INJURED AT THE TIME,AND I WILL FIGHT SOTO ANY TIME HES READY,AND CONLEY TO.I RESPECT BOTH FIGHTERS AND WISH THEM WELL IN THE FUTURE.I WILL SAY I DONT THINK NEATHER FIGHTER HAS THE PUNCHING POWER TO KO ME.BUT EVERY BODY WHO UNDERESTIMATE GOOD LUCK.I WILL BE HERE FOR A LONG TIME COMING.I LOVE THIS SPORT CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT.I WANT TO THINK NAAFS FOR HAVING ME,AND LOKING FOWARD TO FIGHTING ANY 170 THEY PUT UP AGAINST ME IN THE FUTURE…
April 23rd, 2010 at 6:55 pm
In my opinion, and opinion are like assholes everyone has one, if you (Sandlin) are that good why are you with Triple Threat MMA and not with Jason Dent at Griffon Rawl, doesn’t he have all the best fighters in NE Ohio? What is a Triple Threat anyway???
