Yeah it can be done. But there are only so many fighters that can headline an event and none were on this card. You seriously believe he didn't try everything in his power to find ANYONE with draw to fill in? For the first time there was NOBODY to fill in, injuries are a part of it. Doesn't make Dana some moron or incompetent, he doesn't control injuries. Your fix is to "Put somebody else in" which, again, is completely stupid.

He already has endorsement deals, he doesn't "Win" them, so again your wrong. I do see where Jones is coming from, but his camp is not 10000% right at all. You are the champ and should defend your belt against anybody that steps up. Only declined because he swore he wouldnt let Sonnen "talk" his way to title and his ego got in the way. Virtually everyone in the UFC has weighed in on this on twitter or some other way and the overwhelming majority is "I would of taken the fight", so you are in the minority for your stance.

To the game plan part, that is the most over-rated part of this. Listen to top level guys or girls even (see Ronda Rousey) who say they don't even use gameplans because you never know how the opponent is going to attack you. They train their aspects, work on some strengths of opponent. Its not like Chael is some complex fighter either, he is a wrestler, you don't think Jones would have been working on his wrestling? Totally asinine to use "gameplan" as an excuse. Many, many UFC fighters have taken fights on short notice and won.

UFC 152 is on. First fight was impressive by Swanson. Should be a good card.

Anyone got a stream?

Sorry it's late. Main event has yet to start though.

Thx for some reason it says I can't wach it on my smartphone

Jones finishes him with a submission. Dude is 25 years old and might already be the best.

Bones will destroy sonnen if they fight.

I don't understand how Jones' arm didn't break there. Pretty good card, this one.

That shit is gonna hurt tomorrow, if it doesn't already tonight.

He said his arm is numb. That's probably a way worse sign than pain, lol.

Because Edgar is a bigger name and more talented in more areas that Koch.

Anyone care enought to get this weekends fights? I love MMA but I am not at all excited by this card.

nope. Just glad dickweed Dana is finally acknowledging that fans would love to see bones vs Anderson.

Anyone got a link to stream the fights tonight?

I wouldn't have a problem paying $30 for this, but $55 for a card without a title fight is too much.

xmeforums HD stream for $3.50 :)

Pretty good fights so far.

JFC! What an awesome card this is turning out to be.

There is, literally, a million of Brazilians fighting on this card. Last fight was between 2 Brazillians. :D

Holy crap, good start by Herman.

His mouth needs to be shut for him.

Nice shot by Nog.

Yo, Herman... "**** me" is right, ya ****ing dummy.

LETS GO BONNAR

Don't you want to see Jones vs Silva?

Sure, I also want to see Bonnar win.

Can't have them both, right?

Right.

SO WHICH ONE IS IT?

Well I want Bonnar to win. If he doesn't, great, Jones vs Silva.

That's cool.

This is my 1st time ever rooting for Anderson Silva, feels really weird.

I'd rather see Silva vs. GSP to be honest.

Wow.

Silva is not human.

Same. and I'll be rooting for him when he destroys Jones. And he will.

Ahhhhh! Caralho!

LMAO

Clearly. He's bored, and trying to make it interesting. But even that's not working.

So GSP can "lay and pray" him to death?

That fight was batting practice. Bonnar hasnt even been a top 20 LHW fighter for years. Clearly to save the ppv.

rsrsrsssssss

It's a more even fight than Jones. Jones is going to beat all comers.

On one hand that fight should never headline free card let alone a PPV, but it's cool to see Dana get Stephen get a nice pay day before he retires. He did a lot for the sport.

Ummm Silva would walk through Jones. Don't be such an idiot.

you think Jones will beat Silva?!?

as somebody already stated.....Silva is not human.

man oh man....Jones/Silva would be one for the ages!

It would be interesting to see who wins, but I think the fight itself would have very little action. Both guys would be very hesistant to engage with the other. I think Bones probably gets a hold of Silva and stops him with ground and pound in the later rounds if I had to pick a winner. I'd say odds are close to even money going in as to where Silva would be a significant favorite over GSP.

I think Silva wins that fight but not in a walk through. He has another level that other fighters almost never get to but Jones is close.

Honestly if he's dropping weight to fight a 170lber (and I'll probably get torched for this) I think Silva v Nick Diaz is a better fight than Silva v GSP.

So you think a guy who's style is to stand in front of his opponent go toe to toe and slug it out has a better shot than a master technician with incredible take downs like GSP? Nobody is going to beat Silva on their feet. You have to use the Sonnen blue print of pressuring him, dragging his ass down, holding him there and inflecting damage.

I would rather watch Anderson box Nick.

Anderson will beat GSP badly if they ever fight.

Seriously? Jones vs Sonnen. Shouldn't he at least beat a top 10 LHW before getting a title shot?

It's all about ppv buys. Sonnen sells.

Quinton turned down TUF w/ Sonnen, so they used Jones. Meh.

Yep

Carlos v. GSP!!!

TO give slight recap, Johny KO'd Kampmann like 1min in, Dos Anjos looked great
