Choosing Hansen for the alternate whom Aoki held a win over, perhaps thinking he was a better match up for Aoki... Then Hansen couldn't touch Aoki without the ref acting like Aoki was getting fouled...
I am still suspicious of the Kid pullout, too. Don't think they wanted to ruin a possible matchup with Faber by having Joe beat him first.
All in all it left a bad taste in my mouth, and not unjustified... Seemed very fishy.

agree with most of that. should be expected from japanese mma by now though so it's not exactly surprising.
also agree with the guy who said he liked watching aoki cry like a little girl. watching his head bounce up and down off the canvas wasn't bad either
