Perhaps Peter just didn't "get up" for this fight? You know he was expecting to be the challenger in a title fight, but instead gets someone way below the top ten. It happens all the time, competitive people in just about any sport really, get caught sleep walking.

I don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter how much I'm rooting for a fighter, if they get rocked I just want the other guy to finish them! I really like Peter, but when he got hurt I was suddenly pulling for McCline, at least until Peter recovered.
