Evan Dunham has a pussy eyebrow

Bullshit call on that fight.

yep, all he did was cut him.

Well Sherk won the first, Dunham won the 2nd. That is clear.

I think the judges put too much credit into take downs. Sherk took him down in the third but they were both back on their feet within 10 seconds.

good fight no matter the call on the win

That last fight seemed fixed.

That was one of the worst fights I have ever seen. Cro Cop needs to retire.

I might kill myself after last night and tonight.

Also. If you guys want an HD stream that doesnt get taken down ever, Xmeforums.com works amazing, I've been using it for a long time. Its $3.50 for a 24 hour pass, and $10.00 for a month pass. They show ALL MMA events in HD, as well as tons of other sports.

Rep

I fully plan on hanging myself with cheese wire and gorilla glue. Put the pieces together and It looks like I pulled off my ****ing head.

That is what ruined boxing... well that and getting your brains beat in. I kinda wonder what all these MMA guys are going to look/act like in 5 years.

Just look at the Nogeuria brothers in 2003, and then look at them now. Perfect example. Also the same with Wandelei Silva. He had to have facial reconstruction surgery because of all of the scar tissue. All of those wars add up.

I wonder if they will end up like a lot of boxers and if they will suffer from dementia at a higher rate.

Too early to tell. Well, sort of. I did an interview for my website with Tank Abbot recently where he was acting all loopy and didn't know what was going on. We we're sure if he was just permanently ****ed in the head or if he was extremely drunk. Ken Shamrock is also a great example of taking too many dangerous blows to the head. Guy is a legend, so much of that effects their judgement and decision making abilities. It really wouldn't surprise me if in 20-30 years some of the hardcore vets end up with dementia. I know a lot of the original Pankration/Valetudo/Lutalivre guys because of the bare knuckle have some really ****ed up things wrong with them.

No matter what, getting punched in the face for a living isn't going to do you any favors in the brain health department.

can't argue here

That card sucked.

That was one of the worst shows of the year, the next one is free on Spike and then we get Velasquez v Lesnar.

dumb ass

Three weekends in a row with top level shows, Diaz V Noons will be a good overall card, and then two UFC shows in a row, I'd say it's a good few weeks for MMA.

UFC announced Jon Jones Vs Ryan Bader on New Years, that will be a hell of a fight! I think this will be the real test for both of them, whoever wins it will get Shogun next.

Yahoo has them fighting on Super Bowl weekend and what about Rashard getting Shogun?

I think a more likely scenario is the Bader/Jones winner fighting the winner of Dragon/Rampage with the winner of that fight getting a shot at the winner of Evans/Rua.

Very well could be how it goes, I think it's all just amatter of time until Jon Jones has the strap.

I am looking forward to Josh Thompson vs JZ and Diaz v Noons, not a bad card for Strikefarce

A good card indeed. I led into this by listening to Joe Rogan's podcast with The Voice live on Ustream. It was hilarious.

UFC 120 is free on Spike TV tomorrow starting at 7 pm CST. Akiyama vs Bisping headlining a tape-delayed broadcast from the UK. Also Carlos Condit vs Dan Hardy should be fun while it lasts.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I probably would have missed it.

cant wait for the Lesnar/Velasquez fight.

I think Cain wins unless Brock gets the fight to the ground(as always). Brock got exposed BAD in his last fight, Cain is a MUCH better striker and hes fast and accurate.

And Velasquez won't gas out ike Carwin did. Brock is going to have his hands full. Should Brock win, I think he rolls through Dos Santos, and it will be a while before he loses, or maybe until he fights Carwin again which would be probably Summer 2011.

Bump.

7pm tonight.

Fights on starting now.

Nice first fight.

Condit vs Hardy should be fun. I'm looking forward to that more than the main event.

ESPN-ABC spoiled that fight for me on the ticker during Texas/Neb. They should know better than to scroll results when its tape-delayed. :cuss:

Rogan : "So what went wrong here tonight?"

Hardy : "Well I got punched in the face."

LMAO

I love that guy.

While I agree with alot of this I'm just not sure that even if Cain keeps the fight standing that he's got the power to put Brock away... I mean Carwin was knocking the sh*t out of Brock and if he doesn't have the power to knock the dude out then who does. Carwin's got as much punching power as anyone in the UFC. Then again as you brought up Cain is much more technical and precise with his punches. So it could happen. Should be a damned good fight however it plays out.

Akiyama coming out to "Time to Say Goodbye" = WIN.

His entrances are always epic...

he has every fight of his career
and hardly got put the **** out

JMO, but I don't think that a lot of the top MMA guys take the sustained punishment that boxers do. Yes, the individual punches they get rocked with are just as bad (maybe worse b/c of the gloves), but getting peppered with a couple hundred shots to the face would be far worse for the brain, I'd think.

You have to think about every time their head hits that mat, or any sort of jarring, I bet we see a lot of these MMA guys with some serious cases of of dementia.

/chuckliddell

That may well be the case. I'm definitely not an expert on MMA, but it just seems to me as though the fights are shorter and the number of blows or jarring impacts they take are cumulatively far less.

I"d imagine it's pretty rare for an MMA guy to have a 50-70 fight pro career.

Not really rare. But its getting shorter.

Heres a few of the bigger records

Funniest part of the gif is Robert Downey Jr in his red Iron Man jammies being the only person jumping up when Hardy gets Kayo'ed

A friendly reminder that Eddie Alvarez vs Roger Huerta (non-title) is headlining the Bellator card tonight on FSN.

Huerta is good but I'll wager that Alvarez manhandles him. Unless he has rededicated himself to a career in MMA.

From a few interviews, it sounds like he actually put the work in for this fight, and Alvarez has a tendency to trade.

Forgot to mention, Ben Askren is getting his title shot against WW champ Lyman Good.

Lyman Good is a BEAST. Too bad Dish Network is screwing me out of the Bellator shows by pissing with FOX

agreed, BTW didnt huerta the guy who KO'd a former longhorn for hitting a girl outside of a club not too long ago? thought i saw a video somewhere...

That was supposed to be him but there was some speculation it was someone else.

have you seen the video? it sure looked like him

No, I just read the story on Yahoo where they said TMZ may have doctored the video.....either way he's still a tough dude. That Garcia fight was awesome.

Brock will pumpkinhead him just like he did Meir!!! It is Brocktoberfest after all... :)

I think so to. I still stand by my prediction of him beating Velazquez, but losing to Dos Santos. Junior is just the anti Brock. Great stand up and take down defense. He poses major problems for him.

Roger is one of my favorite fighters ever because of his MT talents and his heart, he's also not afraid to throw down, i'll be pulling for him, but I got Alvarez because I think he has the speed advantage and the ground advantage, but I think it really could go either way.

Lyman Good vs Ben Askren is going to go to Askren, even though I don't like him he's going to likely absolutely wrestle**** Lyman from rounds 1-5 in an entirely boring Unanimous decision that you will immediately forget.

And Cain is gonna whoop that ass on Saturday. :D

Yo Guardian, I know you are reading this. Let's hear your prediction for the Lesnar/Velasquez fight. I don't want any after the fact Lesnar Nuthugger remarks if he goes down.

I got $10,000 casino cash saying Velasquez wins, any and all takers (or until I run out of money).

I'll take that bet....

Also why does JDS have a better chance to stop the takedown? JDS doesn't have near the wrestling that Cain has. That comment is just reeruned.

I'll take that.

Here it is.. Blah blah bla, Lesnar is a WWE reerun and has no skills blah blah bla I know all and you know nothing....

I think I'm getting a hockey game on fsn. ****.

Wow, Maynard just got Judo ****ed by the Olympian. Loser of Good/Askren should be his next fight

Who said that Junior has better taken down defense then Cain?

someone earlier in the thread

Yep

Askren needs a ground and pound DVD or something.

****ing doctors, WAR HUERTA! WAR ALVAREZ! I wish I could see that 3rd round.

Done

Got it

Where are the ****ing Lesnar nut huggers now???????????

A 1 dimensional "fighter" who got ****ing exposed in the fight with Carwin. He got his nuts kick straight the **** in tonight. Cain broke his foot so far off in Lesnar's ass he'll be tasting his toenails for a months.

Where is CoMo and that Bo Bice looking bundle of sticksy bitch?

Who didn't see this exact post in this exact tone coming?

That said, Lesnar got destroyed tonight. Cain thoroughly dominated the fight.

I don't give a **** who saw it coming.

If Carwin doesn't gas out this same shit happens last time. The only difference is this time, Herb Dean actually CALLED the fight like it should have been last time.

Brock is a 1 dimensional do nothing who will beat smaller guys who can't handle his shoot. But as Cain and Carwin have showed, if you nullify his shoot, he's a ****ing do nothing fighter. Why people had their lips attached to his nuts I have no idea.

And that sir, is the difference between a guy who knows MMA and new ****s who don't know shit, but want to suck a on a guy like Lesnar's nuts.

I still wanna see these MMA guys in 10 years, I bet they will make for fine additions to the nursing homes when they are 50.

Cain was way smarter than Carwin, yeah. Cain made sure that he landed good blows on Lesnar while Lesnar was down, whereas Carwin tried gassed himself out on a quantity of less-effective blows.

Some contact got made to Brock's head on an attempted takedown. Brock went spiraling backwards towards the walls of the cage. He was essentially out of the fight at that moment, though it took a little bit for his to be fully out. I thought the ref called the fight at the appropriate moment tonight.
