He is a machine. It doesnt seem like he lets emotions phase him at all.

Nah, after tapping Rampage he looked about excited as I do after taking a shit.

MMA fighters are going to just keep getting better, Jones is a great example. I know he looks unbeatable right now but expect the bar continue to be raised. What an exciting sport.

So what's next for Jones, a shitty fight with Evans?

I'd watch that.

Two things: can someone tell me why Silva vs Jones isn't already set for next spring, and secondly, why the hell isn't Jon Jones' nickname 'Manhunter'?

Because Anderson gets to handpick his opponents

Because it sounds gay.

Really? thats a head scratcher, he's possibly the classiest & most thoughtful guy in the sport.

Read a comic book, jackass.

Jones is pure 'badass'.

Cruz vs Mighty mouse is going to be a great fight.

Anyone watching tonight?

Sonnen vs Stann right now. Gonna be a good one.

Sonnen is just a ****ing anaconda. No escaping.

So will Sonnen really leave forever if Silva beats him lol

Yeah, what a ****ing drama queen.

He should make a "I'm leaving forever thread" if he loses lol

Thats what sells, he knows what he's doing. I dont see a problem with it.

JFC

Frankie Edgar is the embodiment of the warrior spirit.

I'm completely gay for him right now.

Wow.

where can i see the jones rampage fight?

Who won? Stann went to a rival HS of mine.

Sonnen dominated the fight and Stann tapped to a choke in the 2nd.

Nobody watched that dog last night?

Caught the prelims, some nice hits.

And no, I wouldn't pay to see that card from last night.

Yeah, I didn't want to fork it out for that weak card, but I'm hooked and refuse to miss a PPV. At least I get rewarded tonight with Dos Santos/Velasquez for free on fox.

The fight is next month, Nov 11th I believe.
Tonight is just a "behind the scenes" fluff of the upcoming fight.

Isn't that on Nov 12th?

10mins too late, story 'o my life...

Penn has been done for a while. I said a long time ago that Penn was never as talented as people thought he was. As soon as skilled guys started coming up around him, he fell to the wayside. Frankie Edgard would beat him 100 out of 100 times right now. So would Gray and a whole bunch of other guys. You can't just rely on being more talented than everyone else in a weak division for long.

I wouldn't have paid for that card last night. Suckage. GSP is still going to walk through Diaz if/when that fight happens.

Penn might have the worst cardio in the UFC. He won round 1 against Fitch and Diaz, but after that he gasses when guys that are known for cardio like the 2 I mentioned start to impose their will on him.

I still say Diaz probably isn't even a top 5 welterweight in the UFC and GSP would have him on his back for most of that fight.

Caught it, not much to say either way. The first time I watched Penn fight was probably about a year ago (just never got around to watching him or missed his fights for whatever reason) when he fought Frankie Edgar in Abu Dhabi and he looked like he was there to collect a paycheck as opposed to win a fight. I was never impressed with that guy and maybe I just caught him too late in his career but from my perspective I never understood the hype.

Hope he does retire to be honest.

GSP, Fitch, or Kos all dominate Nick Diaz any day of the week.

Anyone watching UFC 138, Leben vs Munoz on Spike tonight? Just starting.

Oh yeah! Should be a great free fight!!

Some meathead fighter apparel company or gym, forgot to spell check 'pretorian' before they named themselves.

I'm assuming this is how it is spelled in Brazil "Portuguese".

Wow, Leben got completely destroyed. Munoz was just T'ing off. I'll give Leben credit for his chin, but dude needs to learn to defend.

Anyone watching?

Velasquez in 3 by ref decision.

Shazzam Son!!!

Wow, killers. They make u shit a u pants!

Unreal.

That was quick

:spock: wtf Cain

wow. I can't believe its already over.

Crazy thing about the UFC though, even the best fighters can get caught by an unexpected punch and go down, just like that. In boxing, you are done if you lose more than 2 or 3 fights, but in the UFC, you routinely see good fighters lose.

:cuss:Damn missed it, forgot about the fights tonight.

Picture a Mike Tyson fight when he was in his prime. No ground game at all just a slug fest and one guy got clocked then tweetee birds.

Disappointing actually.

I watched the 5 or 6 undercard fights right before this one for free on the internet. The lightweight undercard right before this quick underwhelming fight on fox was awesome, almost ended several times in each round, went the distance.

Those fights are usually the better, more entertaining fights. Shame I missed them and only caught this dud.

You didn't miss anything. :shake:

Was great to see Cigano win the title, he has worked so hard! The Bendo-Guida fight was actually great as well, glad the UFC aired it everywhere else except in the US on Fox live. Was nice seeing how educated the Fox announcer was before the fights, much better than Gus Johnson on strikeforce(filho da puta). Anyways, happy to see Junior win. Cain didn't look horrible, just tried to slip and counter with his lead left hook (like he did against Big Nog) and got crushed by Jr.'s overhand right. I still think that this fight will be a good rematch down the road, but nothing will ever have as much hype, electricity, e excitement that Fedor v. Mirko did.

Almost nailed it!

Apparently Dos Santos is some kind of ultra-modern laser guided bomb, cant believe i forgot the free fight thats been hyped for months, what a dummy.

u didnt miss a thing, over in the blink of an eye, so so pissed

I initially thought Cain would win this one until both men got to the ring. It was obvious that one had the heart of the champion and the other was carrying the pressure of a country. Cain had a genuine look of concern on his face during the fight announcement.

The only thing missing from the Fox broadcast was the robot shadow boxing in the corner of the screen.

I personally think JDS might run a nice streak of wins defending the title. The new "blue print" for MMA seems that you need to be a superior striker and superior defender. If you look at most of the champs these days that is what they typically are. Of course they are more then just that, but their bread and butter seems to be to keep the fight on their feet and dominate in that fashion. GSP maybe the exception the rule, but he can strike with the best of them and is one of the best defenders at MMA.

Just watched Bendo vs Guida on youtube. Damn, what a fight. The whole thing was pretty intense throughout but the last minute was something else. Would have loved to see it on Fox in HD.

I have been saying this forever.

Great ground defense with the ability to keep it standing, is what MMA has become. This is where fights are won now. Stuff the guys shot, then force him to stand.

Hmmm..

Must of been a Don King production.

After Lesnar pounds on Overeem.....he's going to crush JDS and reclaim the HW title!!!!!

Uhhh... Doubt it...

lol @ lesnar beating overeem

No way Lesnar can stand and trade strikes with 'Reem. No Way.

Even if he does, Gypsy will just ****ing eat him up.

Really?

Does anyone know a good stream for tonights fights?

No way 'Reem can avoid Brock's takedowns. Brock will take him down again and again and again. Lay and pray with a few smacks on the roid-beakhere and there to score. Bank on it. I'm no fan of Lesnar's, just a realist.

Suicide Watch is in Effect!

Anyone have a video for that Henderson Rua fight?

I pulled up a stream just as the announced the decision. They kept saying one of the greatest fights of all time.

GOAT fight. I'll have a video up after I do interviews Buck.

That was one bad ass fight.

Thanks dude.

Second that!! Hendo hung in even after it appeared he possibly broke his right hand

Both fighters off to hospital, will not be @ post fight presser, bummer.

That was a war.

Too bad Fox didn't air that fight instead. They would have gained a lot more MMA fans then they did.


This is the first UFC card in a long time the exceeded expectations in my opinion. You got to love when Faber put on a show and Silva/Lee was pretty damn good too.

It was!! What a battle!!

Any thoughts on how the hell guys like Hendo, Couture and Hopkins(boxing) kick ass past the age of 40 while most other guys fall off a cliff around 35?

Was the score 48-47 from all three judges?
Did I hear that right?
I'm trying to calculate the score by round and can't come up with 48-47.
Someone help me out.

There had to be some 10-8 rounds, right?

10-9
10-9
10-9
9-10
9-10

48-47

Hendo-Rua
10-9
10-9
10-9
9-10
9-10
48-47

I agree with the decision, but there is no way that 5th round was a 10-9 round.

Apparently Henderson thought he won the first round 10-8 though.

Doesn't really matter.
