I'm right there with you, I hate watching a counterfighter. I guess I just like watching dudes who are willing to get in there and mix it up even if it's bad strategy.

Vitor is fighting Okami at UFC 122, that could turn out to be a good fight.

thats me. how does he win fights backing up?

Should I be impressed that my favorite bar will have Michael Johnson appear on Sept 15? I think it said he was a UFC fighter.

Don't be impressed...yet. He's going to be on the upcoming season of TUF (If it's the same guy).

i agree, but i really like vitor and always have, the things that he went through are totally shitty.

Never heard of him. Apparently he's a Springfield guy.

Ah. Yeah it said something about him being there for the premier to something, so I guess that's it.

get ready for oct 23.

Theres a LW Grand Prix happening right now. Some decent action. Then MFC 26 on HDNet after.

UFC Marathon 1-118

http://www.justin.tv/wck1234567#/w/376911088/7

They are on 26 right now.

Honestly luv, no.

So Jones gets the winner of Bader/Nog?

I hope it's Bader

I also noticed one of my favorite fighters, Phil Davis, is scheduled to face Tim Boetsch. How good is Boetsch? Not much of a name in UFC...oh well

Remember the name Daniel Cormier, btw. He's gonna be a good one---though he's already 31

No surprise Bones gets the winner of that fight...too bad the UFC is scared to feed Forrest to him, thought they might make that fight.

Jones also said he got the impression from Dana that if he wins his next two fights, he'll get a title shot.

Makes sense...he beats Bader/Nog and moves on to fight the winner of Machida and Rampage perhaps?

Either way, I don't see anyone stopping Bones in the foreseeable future....dude is legit.

Shine fights and MFC are on right now.

Shine is hilarious and pathetic.

Shark Fights on tonight. Bas and Don Frye are commenting. Spark up and laugh your ass off.

LOL the first two prelims are GREAT. and this one is funny. Frye hilarious as always talking about balls on his hat. and talking about his Fight vs Takayama in PRIDE comparing them.

Prelims : http://www.sherdog.com/events/SF-13-...ights-13-14141

Keith Jardine took another beat down this weekend. That guy has had a rough time getting it together lately.

Yeah he has, I've always liked Jardine and can't understand the hate. He always goes out to put on a show and either does well or get knocked out. After last night I do agree with his cut though, he needs to string together some wins before coming back to the big show. Jackson will sort him out and figure out something for him. All his older fights in KOTC were grappling because he is a good grappler so maybe they go that route next.

Ultimate Fight Night 22 and the Season Premiere of TUF 12: Koscheck vs GSP is on tonight for anyone interested.

Sweet! Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot.

Matt Hughes v BJ Penn 3 announced for UFC 123

This guy looked pretty good.

This just in.

Chael tests positive for PEDS against Silva

SOURCE

What a shithead. I wonder what he got caught with.

Whoops.

Josh has come a long ways. I thought Dana would dump him after he refused to let his image be used for the video game.

I'm guessing it was probably a banned diuretic, just a total guess.

"Chael Sonnen tested positive for a steroid before his Oakland loss to Anderson Silva, CSAC exec. George Dodd tells me... Said a 'natural steroid.' "

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2010/9/20...ight-drug-test

No idea what the difference is between a natural steroid and any other type of steroid.

But, no rematch means that Belfort/Okami winner is now the definite next in line for a title shot.

Vitor Belfort Injured, Replaced By Nate Marquardt vs Yushin Okami At UFC 122

http://www.sportsnewscaster.com/vito...-ufc-122/3190/

Chael is appealing it.

Also

DREAM 16 is less than 3 days away! **** YEAH!

Vitor has shit for luck. That dude is super talented but couldn't catch a break to save his life!

It has to be intentional. He posted videos of him training late the last night on his twitter. Im guessing since all he has wanted in Anderson, and suddenly Chael is gonna get suspended for a year (Likely) He sees his opportunity to get back in the title mix immediately by making an injury up and filling the slot. Vitor is basically the Zuffa Paulo Filho. Or Karo Parysian, whichever.

I guess I'm not following how an injury will put Vitor into title contention. I don't think Dana will give him the title shot if Marquardt looks good against Okami.

DING DING DING

I was right.

Huge week of MMA coming up. UFC 119 Saturday, Dream 16 Sunday, and WEC 51 on Thursday.

WEC 51 especially is hot fire. They consistently put on the best overall MMA cards out there.

You gotta love the little guys, they get after it.

I actually opened this thread to tell you you were right but it looks as though you've sprained your arm patting yourself on the back so I don't need to.

What do you folks think of Bruce Leroy and how about TUF using Chiefs colors this season for the teams?
Bruce Leroy cracks me up. I also just scored tickets to UFC 123, which my to my delight features two of my faves in the main event. Rampage vs. The Dragon plus BJ vs. Hughes, oh yeah!!!!

Congrats on the tix, Bruce Leroy had better not fight the top guys, especially a guy who can strike, the way he did last night. It's hard to win running away.......unless you're Machida.

Bruce LeRoy is going to get his face punched in the first time he gets someone with any ground game or a good straight right hand. He seems like a nice enough young man, but he's got a whoopin coming soon I think.

I want to see if he can smile through 3 minutes of getting his face punched in from the bottom.

GSP is a pretty crafty dude the way he suckered Koschek into picking his boy first. Of course that doesn't bold well for Koschek falling for that either.

I have tickets to WEC 51. Im rooting for Crocop this weekend and then DREAM 16 is on HDNET Sunday morning, cannot ****ing wait.

:D sorry!

It's all Kool and the Gang man, I was just giving you shit.

It looks like it was Testosterone.

Mir's a cocky ****. I hope he gets his ass kicked in again.

CROCOP BY LHK

He's a likable kid but the first wrestler he faces will beat his ass. 123 is good line up for sure. Hughs and BJ are two of my all time favs but I'll be rooting for Hughs.

Bruce Leroy has a dangerous ground game.

the technique in this Triangle is awesome

The result was good, the technique was not. He should have hooked the leg to prevent himself from getting slammed....several times. He also should have pulled the opposite arm through as quickly as possible.

Do we have any Mayhem love or is the majority pulling for Sakuraba?

good to see someone knows what they are talking about.

Mayhem is going to kill Saku. Which is sad, because the Japanese will pay to watch Saku fight anybody, even if it means he's going to end up with brain damage.

He has really fought past his expiration date. I love that he is so damned tough but someone needs to tell him to retire.

I'd much rather see Miller vs Diaz (Nick) or a GSP rematch (lol).

I can't understand Strikeforce not making that Miler V Diaz fight while people wanted to see it. They'll dick around until no one cares and then sign it

Probably because it would be a catch weight fight without title implications. But either way it would still bring an audience.

Sometimes in BJJ you learn no matter how you have your guard closed over an opponent, its just better to let go, because you will get slammed regardless because of their strength. But you sound like you know that, Do you do BJJ as well?

I'll never bet against Saku

lol you're talking about an org that gives title fights to guys coming off of losses, Strikeforce is the Herm Edwards of the mma world.

And Diaz vs Noons II is a much more intriguing fight than Mayhem vs Diaz. But I'd love to see it.

I don't really do anything anymore.

DREAM 16 fixin' to come on in a few live on HDNet...awesome card...thank God I've got caffeine lol.

FOR THE ****IN' WIN. Listen for Michael Schiavello to shout out my website tonight over broadcast - Bloodyfists.net.
