Already the best fight of the night.

Holy ****. That girl is unstoppable.

Bleh. I hate when people have 1 move they always go to.

You hate unstoppable perfection, man?

I guess so. I like underdogs.

I like underdogs too. But seeing someone master a technique like that and just dominate everyone with it? I can't not respect or not love it.

Great fight.

I'd give SOTN to Kenny Robertson for the kneebar and FOTN to Grice/Bermudez.

indeed.

Yeah, because his fight with Bader was lacking excitement. *rolls eyes*

JFC, he hasn't been "boring" since Nakamura.

It was only exciting because Bader decided not to sit there with his thumb up his ass the entire fight. Machida hasn't been exciting since his first fight with Rua. After Jones beats him I think they need to keep his ass off of PPV's if he isn't coming to fight. Actually I'd cut his ass all together because I don't want to pay to watch him paint the fence and wax the car for 90% of the fight and putting him on fox isn't going to do anything but turn the casual fan away which is what they are trying to do with those cards. There was a reason he got the shit booed out of him tonight.

I wonder if Dana, being the douche he is, will have the balls to put Rousey in with a high level striker or someone good in the clinch.

I won't hold my breath.

Carmouche should've finshed that RNC...thought for sure she had it.

The problem is, there isn't an elite women's striker with a good enough ground game yet IMO. Honda hapes nearly everyone on the ground in women's MMA currently, including Cyborg should they ever meet up.

also, ROFL http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2/...blows-2350305/


Read the 1st-2nd page, then skip to the end. Hilarious.

Rewatching the Hendo-Machida fight, Hendo didn't really have a great gameplan. IMO, given Lyoto's stance/movement/arm position defensively, they should have altered Hendo's best weapons (inside leg kick to OHR) to an outside leg kick followed by a left hook. He's got a solid LH (Wanderlei 2 as example) and the outside leg kick like his usual ILK could have planted Lyoto long enough to land it, especially if Dan had been able to close distance/utilize it near the cage. Additionally, this strike also will take Hendo out of optimum distance/angle for Lyoto's straight left.

Late bump due to Decimalgate and I also wanted to post this Fedor highlight.

Damn. It's really a shame he declined right when MMA was hitting its peak. Absolutely wonderful technician.

Is there free UFC tonight or something? I just got invited to a BBQ at my UFC watching buddies house.

Next week is Gus v. Mousassi I think.

Prelims bitches!!!!

Dillashaw
Masvidal
Benavidez
Nijem
Larkin
Mendes
Brown
Diaz
Cormier
Benson


Go ahead and place your money boys.

I really wanted to pick Hugo (for obvious reasons) but I really couldn't . Hope he does well though! Vaiiiiiiiiiii

Hugo not looking bad at all early. Really bad footwork/stance though.

"Embora!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And the wild Sorter moves to 3/3 on the night.

Really, nobody is watching the prelims?

****, maybe I should stop my PBP until the main car starts.

4/4 so far.

Watching, just nothing much has happened that's a surprise

Jury over Nijem off of your list though

Melendez over Henderson too

Jury turned off his lights....."You didn't like the first poke in the eye with my finger? how about I use my whole fist?"

Well, ****.

Was just saying that's who I was picking.

My only miss so far is Larkin (and I agree with the decision)

Still a really good clip, though, brah.

I'm bouts to turn this on.

Those are the only 2 I have never watched ever on this card.

****ing bummer. I still have yet to complete a perfect card and I really thought I could do it this time.

I missed the fight. Getting ready to read the pBp.

Brown off to a nice start early. Needs to settle down and start working the body/uppercuts more when he closes the distance/cuts off the cage.

Brown with a nice right hook.

Brown working knees out of the plum.

Brown gets clipped and is hurt. Jordan works a guillotine and ends up in open guard.

Brown back to closed guard locks up a triangle.

Loses it and now in Brown's open guard.

Nice elbow to close out the round by Matt Brown. 10-9 Brown.

Brown now riding Jordan and wailing away. Elbows to the body that are just brutal. Brown finishes the fight.

That first one was one hell of a fight.

So I guess ufc is now on fox instead of spike?

We also landed on the moon.

:)

Matt Brown's a solid choice to open either a prelim or main card due to his style.

He's going to get a niceeee locker room bonus for this.

Haha. Yeah, I only watch mma on ppv nights. I don't read UTC news or forums, just watch the ppv fights.

Fair enough. The deal with Fox/FX is fairly old.


Man, I can't believe I'm watching Josh Thompson fight in the UFC again. Wow.

I hate the Diaz bros

I just don't understand how Cesar doesn't make Nick/Nate train extensively on throwing their straight left as a counter to leg kicks. It's a ****ing fantastic counter and it'd really help both those guys out.

Damn autocorrect on tablet.

Ufc not UTC.

Thompson's landed 2 head kicks now. Diaz still struggling to cut off the cage.

Weird, I watched the ppv last month and could've sworn the prelims were on spike.

Probably watching Bellator.

Thompson looking awesome.

Low blow

Nate is really getting out classed. Looks like a combo of poor gameplan + over looking opponent + Thompson looking the best I've seen since his first fight vs. Melendez.

Thompson breathing out of his mouth a little it more.

**** Nate, learn how to cut off the ****ing cage instead of acting like a broken Mirko. JFC.

Nate's out.

Out

Wow. 3 head kicks.

YES, take that you pile of shit!

He was done for a minute

Damn. Where the **** was this against Gil, Josh? LMAO


But seriously, Thompson looked awesome tonight. Great gameplan and execution.

Love it when showboaters get worked over!

Its always good seeing a diaz shit talking asshole get ****ed up.

Nate isn't half the fighter his brother is.

I really think he over looked Josh.


Plus, the tape from the Bendo fight really exposed his flaws, IMO. This fight was a perfect example of that.

But yes, I don't think Nate's as good as Nick.

Probably has better/more creative wrestling/throws.

All he does is take punches, albeit he does that very well. And his lanky ass makes him tough to grapple with.

Will Mir's 13th comeback end with a Steven Segal arm snap?

He's got some solid BJJ. Decent boxing and is pretty creative/fluid.

Him and his brother both are fairly easy to gameplan for now though.

I can't see Mir winning.


Of course, I also thought he was done when Nog had their 2nd fight locked up, so...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

Watching this commercial, I just can't imagine someone else laughing at a special needs person to their face.


I mean, the word reeruned gets thrown around and people make jokes but I can't say I've ever heard of an instance in which a person was deliberately cruel to someone with CP/Downs because of that.

(Ends buzzed rant)

Mir looks slim.


Cormier looks like the black Fedor, only not scary.

Really hope Mir devotes his time to coaching if he gets KO'd. Like the guy.

Mir throwing a lot of kicks early. Dan staying calm. Great knee to the body by Mir.

Mir really needs to get the **** out of the clinch and off the cage.
