I thought the gladiator intro was dead?

What is this gladiator shit?

Thought that was supposed to be gone?

Fuck the goddamn gladiator

Glad He Ate Her 4L

I dun get it

Fucking hell. I thought we were getting a new intro

Not this bullshit again

You know Mike, Diamond MMA makes an intro video…

Rec'd

Goddammit

Everyone should tweet at Dana about this

Don't mind if I do.

I already did

Hopefully a bit of fan outcry does something other than getting him pissed off.

good fights so far

getting the Xbox live stream tonight, going to be interesting. Gonna be on twitter also

These are not allowed here.

this one is

MDH don't gives no fucks.

I think someone asked if they were since the threads are being split up

and one of the staff said “they’re allowed but don’t abuse it” or something like that.

maybe I just made that up though

I don’t know. Thought I read it when the split threads were new.

Nah, you speak truf.

You must be new Earl

No pics in a live thread

LOL

the fuck

No pics, no gifs in the live thread

With the change of your name, you have lost your powers

you gotta put your old name in your sig or something

Fail for the people reporting this event would not have the stupid intro.

Goldie has seemed to age rapidly lately.

Guys.

What can’t be done I’ll do myself.

soooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhcccccannnnnnnbbbreeeeeaaaaaaathhhhhh

*e

You are going to get rid of the gladiator intro yourself?

Looks like they are back to the shitty normal graphics, too.

It’s depressing after the FX graphics

LETS MUTHERFUKERS is always allowed in live threads.

I just hope Johnson gets KTFO then fired right afterward,

Thats a bad argument.

AAAAAND PPV TIIIIME! What's on everyone's plate tonight?

Myself, I’m rocking some homemade enchiladas. Because when you think of Italian people, you think enchiladas.

As well as, of course, Black Velvet and Diet Pepsi.

Very very drunk

Yeah, that one lookslike you’re closing down the bar

Nope

It was early.

The hit the classiest strip club in a 5 mile radius. When I looked over a saw a stripper give me the thumbs up, I knew it was time to go home.

What happened to revamp in 2012 and no more Gladiator in Intro?

The gladiator killed the first 3 people sent to fire him so they just let him stay.

BRAZILIAN BANGERS

ugh

It's shocking how much lower the quality is from FX to the PPV.

No FX in Canada so I’ll never get to see the quality difference :(

This fight is nuts. I have no idea what’s going to happen and that’s fantastic.

Next upset special:

Terry Etim

Barboza by decision

Time to overtake all my opponents. Etim ftw

NEVA!

I got Etim too

But I’m the new IKilled007 so you’re fucked!

Let's see if this XBOX stream is good

SD looks pretty good so far

Toquinho better not disappont. I demand shenanigans!

Shenanigans, I say!

ZANY HIJINKS

I NEED Barboza late TKO

OT

How can you tell if it’s genital warts or just pimples?

LOL

Pimples don't smile back.

GAH! Back in time!

Captain BARBOSA!

Gladiator is still here. :(

Dana White even said it would go away

I guess it's only on Fox cards

and still on the PPV

He even quoted saying that PPV broadcasts would be redone

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

God this song is great for a UFC intro

here come to drums

This song

very popular on “Lights Out: Lovesongs After Dark”

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

edson by decision!

Etim should really come out with Mike Tyson for this

Haha,YES!

Then Tyson can just knock out Stitch or Tabs or something during the drums

Mike still might be doing Karaoke in Brazil on TV so he totally should have

And he loves MMA

WTF Tyson

It would have been so epic if Tyson had fought in K-1 like they tried to.

The white one?

The explosive one

Barboza tko round 2

Barboza UD

Know it may not mean that much tonight, but that flying guillotine in Etim’s last fight was pretty sweet

Looks like the XBOX stream is a few minutes behind

you would think that they would be able to get it straight.

Try this:

Edson Barboza
Judge’s decision
Split decision

Bourbon - check

Peace Pipe – check
UFC PPV – check

Let’s get it on

absinthe-check
UFC PPV-kinda blurry

TOUCHDOWN HERNANDEZ

42-7.

42-7 Pats

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

I thought everyone hated the patriots

or do they just hate Tebow more?

That sums up my feelings pretty well.

the second one

I don't think anyone hates Tebow

I think it’s the fan fair he gets. I hate the guys fans and how they make him out to be this all pro QB

I hate him but it is more the media lusting over him i cant stand

his super bowl commercial = fuck off

Yeah I agree

I don’t see the reason to hate Tebow, really. He’s not the reason for all this. It’s his stupid ass fans. God are they obnoxious.

there is a guy who bowls in the same league as me and he wears a Tebow jersey every week

Fuck him.

Seriously

Fuck that guy. Get a real player on your jersey.

Basically, someone not in Denver.

or Von Miller if you have to

Von Miller is a boss

Oh

And I’m Christian and I hate his fans.

Hate Tebow more

the pats and steelers are in my top 5 hated teams

and I rooted for both of them the past 2 weeks

It's over, don't remind me.

the lord giveth and the lord taketh away

I hate both teams, this was a no win for me.

I wish they would have a second weigh in day of fight just for fan information

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

same here, an instascale at the check point

Tebow is 3-11

Tebow is just not a good football player

but but but

Tebow just WINZ!!!!

UFC should really stop doing wingspan for their reach

There are a lot of things the UFC should stop doing

1) Stop letting Joe and Dana yell at each other
2) Stop the gladiator intro
3) Stop facing the pain
4) Measure reach better
5) Stop calling all black people explosive

But ....

Rumble is so EXPLOSIVE

TheBirdsDen - January 14, 2012 reply

He said so himself...

Well, after all the McD's he eats, he's probably got explosive shits

Maybe that’s how he made 205!

Just not explosive enough to make 185.

"bing ding dong" - Buffer

I love these UFC's in Brazil

you can fell the energy of the crowds

So they kept the UFC PPV graphics

Damn

Etim coming out aggressive

NICE SWEEP

it was badass

nice sweep

Delicious sweep

kinda cagey

Barbosa’s going to settle in and take this.

God

My eyes hurt with these low rent graphics after what we had a few minutes ago…

Etim's trunks are pretty fucking awesome.

venom shorts

are the only mma gear i really like

I like Sprawl too

venum

Damn

That high kick was quick as hell

Fucking whip

Orange whip?

I love to watch Barboza strike

Barboza’s boxing is not inspiring confidence. At least he’s confirmed he has TDD.

It's british wrestling he's up against

Must suck to get kicked like that over and over

!!!!!!!!!!

John Fox compared Tebow to Steve Young, Randall Cunningham and Fran Tarkenton

Fuck John Fox

He's been a loser since he left the Giants

ALL ROLLED INTO ONE BABY

10-9 barboza

10-9 Barboza

If that kick was a centimeter lower

Etim would not have a dick

he it was cold alright!!!

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

10-9 Barboza

10-9 Barboza

hes going to land a kill shot in round 2.

Barboza is strong!

10-9 Captain barboza

10-9 to the explosive one

Guillard isn't fighting.

Ha

Actually LOL’d.

:)

I think this will be a decision for Barboza

From Joe Lauzon

Brady’s got 6 touchdowns and Tebow’s got 3 completions. #BestStatEver

Brady would give that all up for another ring. He’s in shark mode right now.

Don't worry

The Giants will end Brady’s season in a few weeks.

This guy.

He comes the second round sub

10-9 Barboza

BRUTAL leg kicks

10-9 Barboza

FINISH HIM IN THE SECOND ROUND, EDSON!!!

what he said

Decision, bitches!

YOU KEEP QUIET!

RRRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want another leg kick TKO please

I actually felt so bad for Mike Lullo.

yeah that was horrible

Horrible for him

Awesome for us

There should be some kind of bonus as a consolation prize to the guys who just get mutilated.

Look, Lullo … you won’t walk for six months, but here’s ten grand … go buy some new running shoes er .. jump rope … er shit.

massage chair

I always feel the worst for those people..especially when it drags on for longer than it should.

Etim seemed to lose confidence when Barbosa sweeped him

he knew his path to victory was fucked

pretty much

Leg kicks don't win fights!

But they do fuck people up

As a member of Cecil Peoples Champs

I agree!

Cecil's People's Champs

Cecil's People's Champ's

Oh, how I HATE the Heyyyyy.

It is up there with Keith Florian

keith florian is a human vuvuzela

haha

Rec'd

Etim is a punching/kicking bag

Nice to see Barboza can get up and stay up

yeah that was cool

I’d like to see his next fight be vs a good wrestler though (assuming he wins this)

very impressed with Barbosa’s ground game

Or his avoidance of it?

getting back up is stil part of the ground game

that sweep?

Man I can just hear Barboza’s thought

“GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME”

Etim looks so slow

Barboza is just that fast

yep

2-0 Barboza

20-18 Leg kick machine

Edson is so technically solid

time to toss the kitchen sink I suppose

20-18 Barboza

20-18 Barboza

Cmon Etim, get your ass kicked and survive next round

Weird to see Etim so static.

I think he's just realizing he cannot do anything to Edson

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

10-9 Barboza. 20-18 Barboza. 1 more round and 11 points for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good job dude

i need a 3rd rd tko though

20-18 Barboza

i wonder if etim is going to actually throw any strikes this round

might be a good idea…

very gun shy

dang I needed a round 2 finish

I’ll take a round 3 though.

nope

unan dec

cmon terry. woo.

My decision coming right up.

Bas dropping knowledge.

BasRuttenMMA Bas Rutten
Difference in low kicks is that Barboza’s kicks are straight into muscle, 90 degree angle, Etim’s slide up a little

Knowledge bomb

Ka-BOOM

The 2 he’s thrown

"straight into muscle"

ow.

Not too mention the speed and technique

Barboza’s is so much faster, more crisp and on balance.

‎"Why have you forsaken me?" -- Tebow.

OMG

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOA.

HOLYF UCKING SHIT

HOLY SHIT

the fuck

HOLY ROUNDHOUSE KICK

Knockout of the night

of the decade

HOLYN SHIT

OMYGOD KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR IT IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was amazing

i done did it

holy shit

I fucking missed it!

nasty

FUCK!!!!!!!

I wanted a UD but I take 5 points of awesomeness

Holy shit

damn.

Holy shit!!!!

Etim fell like a statue!

nice whip on the end of the kick

KNOCKOUT OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!!!1!111!!1!!

Somebody call my momma

absolutely hands down that is the Knockout Of The Year

I can't imagine what will have to happen for that to be topped

I dunno

Dude did a tornado kick last month.

Anything is possible.

I have a feeling we see more tae kwon do/karate/capoeira KO’s.

I have a feeling we see more tae kwon do/karate/capoeira KO’s in the UFC this year.

They're coming more and more

And now they’re finally happening on the biggest stage.

agreed. Fighters in general are becoming more well rounded at basics (boxing, wrestling, jj) and I think the technical strikers are starting to shine more. I saw it when Diaz started using that high volume accurate boxing as well as spider vs. leben.

Harley hooper - January 14, 2012 reply

Yep

High level strikers are rounding out their game enough to be able to throw caution to the wind and let go.

Yeah they are catching up to all the wrasslers tricks. Diaz was already a badass on the ground, so when he made his striking more technical it took his game to a new level. Younger fighters are getting that wrestling base earlier but not being exclusive to it like a hughes or fitch, and it leaves an athletic body to develop a better striking game.

Harley hooper - January 14, 2012 reply

Not to hard with only 2 weeks to work with.

nothing in the next 50 weeks will top that

That's not the point

Etim kinda looked like Bisping right there

Somebody get a gif of that in slo mo ready

OH AND 11 POINTS FOR RUINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mega!

KO of the Night

No matter what else happens tonight

Etim has Bisping face

BRUTAL!

Spinning hook kick KO! NICE!

GIFs-a-plenty

holy shit that is a cool replay.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

That was so unbelievably violent.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

I actually screamed that!

i did the same

word for word

DAAAAAMN

TheBirdsDen - January 14, 2012 reply

Oh my damn

OOO that makes me want to grab things

Chuck Norris loves you.

Wow.

Look how his hand just froze in position as he fell back

So, we had a run on front kicks after Silva's.

Do we now have a run on wheel kicks after Edson’s?

Joe did time that KNOCKOUT perfectly

KO of the Year

And it’s not even a debate. It’s January but that’s KOTY.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Steven Seagal time?

nope, Edson with Tebow Time

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

OH MY GOD.

lol @ everyone who skipped this because they didn’t like the card. That was the best KO I’ve ever seen in the UFC.

sklart - January 14, 2012 reply

Holy Crap That Was Perfect

beerdo - January 14, 2012 reply

I almost threw my laptop off my lap!

Etim dropped like a frozen corpse

Silva or Harris next?

Can we at least make sure Etim is ALIVE before we start thanking Jesus?

Freakin' amazing

so that's where Jesus is.

sorry Tebow

In Edson's legs

To all the people who were fading Edson....

SCREW YOU!

I knocked someone out with that in ea mma once

was so cool.

I guess his was better..

Jesus must be one violent motherfucker.

Simen - January 14, 2012 reply

lulz

God look how STIFF he went

HE JUST THANKED JESUS!

So basically Jesus was busy organizing the best damn KO ever instead of helping out Tebow

Wow-zers

I hope Etim’s ok, dont think hes up yet

Jesus wanted him to brutally KO his opponent and cause him brain damage, good to know.

lol i'll never getting tired of the way he falls

He did a fucking tree log to the canvas

Is pothead Joe right about this one? Is it really the first spinning heel / hook kick KO in the UFC? I can’t remember another one at the top of my head, in the UFC that is. I know several outside though

it is

Yeah, probably, has to be. Probably my favorite strike in all of combat sports! Always so damn nice

KO of the year right here.

I love fighters who think God after BRUTAL knockouts.

Etim woke up staring at the lights

Wow

I aint even mad

BRRRRAAAAZZZIIIILLLL!

OBRIGADO TUDO EL MUNDO!

Wandy....my all time fav!

gonna be a classic gif

I understand a bit of portuguese, he said BRAZIL Thank you

How do you defend that? Not fight Edson Barboza?

ALEX SMITH OMG!!!!!!

I am sorry I doubted him.

No, you were justified in doubting him. Most certainly.

This is vindication. I shit the pants of everybody in my house during those back-to-back 80-yard drives

Only thing I'd say is you have to root for the Giants

Because the Packers offense is less turnover prone than NO.

That's true. I will say I want NY to win, though their defense has been terrifying lately.

And plus, it would mean another SF home playoff game. That being said, I’m not scared of Green Bay after that win. It helps that the 49ers flat-out beat the Saints in those turnovers, and they weren’t necessarily NO making big mistakes

Also

Somewhere Tank is at a bar mimicking Etim right now.

sklart - January 14, 2012 reply

NOOOOOO

no pics, no gifs in the live thread

I hate you

....I didn't know. :(

Early Stoppage!

I hate that it had to be Etim to eat that but GOTDAMN!!!!!!!!

did the crowd just boo when they showed Etim being worked on by his corner?

We need a pic of Etim’s face

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Wanderlei gonna get his shit kicked in against Vitor

this is the saddest truth ever written

Unfortunately, I think you are right....someone will get KTFO

Duh, yeah.

Wow

Etim just stiffened up and dropped like a tree

Gonna need a stiff shot after that

WAR DIAZ

Add Etim to the "Brits KTFO'd" list

With Bisping and Hardy.

Greatest hits.

They should be on a Beatles album

nationality doesn’t really matter when you get hit like that

Its proven

Anthony Njokuani is a bad man.

He’s like Harry Potter. The boy who lived.

Like Mark Hunt when he took kicks from Mirko

Fedor took a nasty liver kick from Mirko in their first fight and din't crumble.

Such an epic comment,
not only a ladies’ man but also a literary man is the TheFilt, Joe

I am absolutely still in shock

slap yourself

I keep picking the right winners by the wrong methods...sheeeeat.

Edson's kick >>>> Badr Hari's kick

I don’t know what that sign means, still, but Badr Hari’s is definitely more sick than Barboza¨s

No.

This is in MMA. And Etim also went straight up board stiff.

Edson’s is better than Badr’s

Well, I strongly disagree. Badr’s was like a revenge KO on Leko, after having been destroyed by him in their previous fight. And it was just prettier IMHO, also happened years before this one. Obviously a matter of taste though.

I don't think his was prettier at all.

I know the story behind Badr’s, and his was great. But this? In MMA? And going THAT stiff? That puts it above, IMHO.

Well, he broke Leko’s jaw in several places. And I’m a big K-1 fan obviously, before I ever got into MMA.. so maybe that plays in. They’re both awesome but as of right now I’m still holding Badr’s higher.

slapjaw ackrite - January 14, 2012 reply

I am proud to say

That I watched this shit mofo live!

Erick Silva
Judge’s decision
Unanimous/majority decisio

Erick Silva looks like Fez

Better than a spinning backfist ko

Edson vs. Miller/Guillard winner? Cerrone? Diaz?

Fucking Diaz!

Edson Lauzon

Lauzon should fight Diaz, that’d be a great fight

Edson/Pettis!!!

Barboza vs. Volkmann

Oh dear lord noes

no one (esp. the fans and the UFC) wins that fight

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Edson vs Guida

Guida would wrestlehump him

He’s a far better and stronger wrestler than Etim

yep

I am down for Guida-Barboza

I'd like to see it

we can see how Barboza does vs a wrestler. If he wins, awesome. If he loses then he learns a lesson and Guida needs a win anyways.

Silva....2nd round KO

Tweet from Bokamoto

That kick wasn’t THAT cool …………….

who?

From ESPN

hehehe...

Carlo Prater fought Charlie Brown.

Rooting against Prater just because of this horrible walkout music.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

i have silva by strikes in round 1

i was more confident in him then i thought i guess lol, go E-Silva

i got tko 2

Edson/Diaz would be good stuffs, yo.

He'd probably snap Diaz's leg in half.

@MattRoth512: Seriously, props to Etim on selling that kick. If only Hulk Hogan was that professional…

lol nice

trolololol

Matt Roth is ruining mma

We've all been saying that for a long time.

There was a time

He passionately hated Tito for being a wife beater.

It was a pretty amazing shitfest.

Roth gonna Roth

Again?

He promised me he’d quit.

Every junkie has to get another fix

Before he knows it

He’ll be waking up in train yards again.

Carlo Prater has never been KOed before so I am very hesitant to pick him by KO

But Etim was never KO’d before either.

He has the look like he’s special.

Come on Joe just admit that he is very handsome

I'd blow him

somethings about to go down

He lost!!!!

Uh oh....

WTF MARIO?

No Contest???

WTF

Wait, a DQ? WHAT THE FUCK?

Something wrong

What the hell is going on

WOW!!!!!

WHAT?

What the fuck!?

NO CONTEST

Had a feeling. Right call.

absolutely the right call

he vitor’d him like 3 or 4 times

I think so

But that’s a first. Or maybe a second, including the Jones/Hamill affair.

What was Yamasaki and Silva talking about there??

What!!!!!

WTF??????

Huh?

So that happened.

oh crap

I agree with it

Free angry faces for everyone!

DQ INSTEAD!!!

illegal head blows?

Oh the drama

Broseidon - January 14, 2012 reply

LOL What a great way to win

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

bullshit!

Queue the undercard fights that we have seen already.

Accidental strikes to the back of the head, yeah, but I can’t see how they actually changed the outcome of the fight.

What the fuck

X5-452 - January 14, 2012 reply

Joe calling out the ref on live TV

Good on him.

That is some FUCKING BULLSHIT

Oh shit! DQ

That shit is getting overturned.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

THE FIX IS IN

WTF is Rogan saying, that’s the back of the head

Damn, Joe calling out Yamasaki

Can't be doing that...

I agree

I agree, very poor form on Joe's part

Let the commission sort it out.

Or how does that work with it being in Brazil?

This

Totally unprofessional, oyu might disagree with the call, but you can’t put Mario on the spot like that and make him squirm. Ref’s should have to explain questionable decisions, but not like that an not to Joe Rogan

Andersac - January 14, 2012 reply

mario is gonna die

This is eerily similar to the Bones-Hammil fight.

Yamasaki dun fucked up

OK I take it back. Bullshit call

Sucks for Silva

But I just found out I had Prater by UD so whatever…

lol Joe is taking it to mario

Really, is Wario Yamasaki reffing tonight?

This is bullshit. Way to fuck up, Mario.

This shit better be overturned.

so no one gets points?

if you picked prater you do

Well....on second thought, it looks like only one shot hit the back of the head flush

Still when I saw it live it looked like illegal shots.

bad call

KidCanada - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Tough deal for Silva

MARIO… MARIO.

Prater can beat you without throwing a punch!

his wrist\fist is clearly angled to hit the side of the head

Appeal this call

Oh, Mario.

WTF!?

Warn him!
Restart the fight!
Don’t make it a DQ loss for him
BS!

Eh, fuck Joe Rogan. He shouldn’t disrespect the judge like that. There were several blatant shots to the back of the head that lead to the finish.

Bullshit, man

There were TWO shots to the back of the head in about 15.

One! And he should have given him a warning. Rogan is right

There were a lot more than one, Rogan fanboy

There were two

And I hate Rogan

Oh I bet you listen to his podcasts all night, all day. You love him long time.

No but seriously, there were several blatant back of the head shots. And regardless, it’s not in Rogan’s place to disrespect the official like that inside the ring. It’s rude and unprofessional

Taking a win away from a fighter is unprofessional

Not when they blatantly break the rules.

You didn't just see the 12th replay?

I saw all of them.

Yet you have a problem with Rogan and not the ref

Weird

Yes. I’m not saying the call by Yam was right or wrong. I’m annoyed as fuck by Rogan’s reaction to it though.

And you are a Rogan hater. Go hate somewhere else

He should!

The ref screwed up SO hard. Its painfully obvious that only one or two shots hit the back of the head.

Even if you think so, he shouldn’t act like that towards him.

Why? He should pretend like it was a good call so you feel better?

Get a grip. Some honestly is a good thing.

Look, I’m not saying it was a good or bad call. But fucking comedian Joe Rogan has to stop pretending like it’s him calling the shots. In the post-fight interview he needs to respect the official decision instead of pushing his own pot-fueled biased view. It’s unprofessional as fuck.

Well I'm over it

We agree to disagree. Maybe I’ll feel differently tomorrow but Rogan’s actions don’t have me all upset tonight.

Its called an opinion

And he should be ostracized for such a horrible decision. He screwed up the dude’s night over NOTHING. He disrespected Erick Silva, he deserves disrespect.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Marios not a judge

Rogan can do wat he wants

Fuck! Referee.

Soooo who picked Prater?

the DOG!

With the 8-ball...

danawhite Dana White
BS call for Erick Silva

sounds like he'll still get his win bonus

Say what you want about Dana, but he takes care of his fighters

for the most part anyways.

ask Dana if we still get our PG points

this is so weird

Now if we aren’t still bashing Mario on wednesday, we’re sexist pigs!

No

RACISTS!!!!!

lol

Obligatory Vitor better watch out comment

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

grrrrr

If that’s a DQ, Griggs and Vitor would be fighting each other in an armory in Wyoming.

So would Hendo.

Shut the fuck up Joe Rogan you're not a ref.

This

He's right!

God forbid someone fucking call out the refs! We all bitch and moan on here when some ref or judge fucks up. Good on someone to ACTUALLy do it on live TV.

No.

Save it for the commission or UFC Tonight or something. Not in the middle of the Octagon

No way.

When has a commission ever done anything good? This shit needs to be stopped and the right way to do it is in the public eye. The best way to get things done is through something like this.

Just like when John Tortorella called out the refs after the Winter Classic for their idiocy. The only way to change something is to bring it up. Not talk about it behind closed doors.

The CSAC just overturned a fight where a headbutt lead to a win

Same thing could be done here

But it changed nothing

This kind of incompetence needs to be PUBLICLY addressed.

This is the very first instance of this kind of call

And honestly, I can’t argue for a ref looking out for fighter safety. It was the wrong call, but would we have been upset if it had happened in Belfort/Akiyama? I wouldn’t. If the call is wrong, that can be amended, but looking out for fighter safety is not a bad thing in any way.

THIS. FUCK THE HATERS. Joe is right to call him on it

Joe Rogan honestly needs to fuck off here. Go sit in the booth and drool over dick kicks.

Whether he is right or not, bad form

Exactly

He just got his Larry Merchant on.

Larry Merchant saw a reasonably dickhead move

Joe Rogan saw a bright prospect get an incredible performance shat upon due to, in my opinion, an extremely shitty call by a ref.

great he can see it all he wants

time and a place man

Agree. Wrong place to bad mouth a ref. like that.

THIS

Fuck off Rogan, he needs to be able to accept when things doesn’t go exactly like he wants them to. It’s unprofessional and inappropriate.

if a guy burries his head into the other guys crotch to avoid blows he deserves to get punched in the back of the head

ive always felt that way

What the fuck is Joe doing

Even if he is wrong you cant fucking do that to a ref, specially when the first big shot is clearly on the back of the head

Broseidon - January 14, 2012 reply

You absolutely can

If this isn’t addressed, it doesn’t change. Sorry, but someone needs to call out the bullshit when it goes down. Good on Joe for being the one to do it.

but a couple of shots did go to the back of the head

and if the other guy can’t continue, then you can’t restart the fight.

He already lost the fight.

You don’t restart it. You give Silva the win.

he stopped the fight because of the foul

so he can’t

He stopped the fight because Prater was TKO'd

Then all of a sudden he ruled it a DQ.

if you get tko’d via illegal strikes you win.

He was TKO'd by a punch and a knee to the face

And about 15 other clean shots landed in a flurry where only 2 were to the back of the head. And one of them barely.

I can’t tell exactly what happened, but your post above is wrong. Who knows why he stopped the fight, but once he stopped the fight, if he determines the blows were illegal, it has to be a NC (accidental) or DQ (intentional). He can’t restart the fight after the guy has been knocked out., even if it’s only a technical knock out.

he said that he was telling him to stop hitting the back of the head

while the fight was going on. regardless… I think Silva would have won the fight anyway but I think the ref did what he felt was right

And he was fucking wrong

He was telling him to not hit the back of the head when he was hitting the side of the head. What is hard about that to understand?

so you didn't see any strike that hit the back of the head?

What is going on? Has a ref ever been interviewed?

lol just what i was thinking

first i’ve ever seen it

If this is a disqualification then Vitors last couple of fights should be also

smdh…i hope he refs vitor tonight

some were on the side of the head, then b4 mario calls him for it prader breaks his shoulder, so it’s a DQ? no sense

Joe shouldn’t call out Yamasaki live.

That's where I am at

Jesus Joe.

Enmascarado - January 14, 2012 reply

Yup. Bad move by Rogan.

I dunno

At least a few of those connected hard to the back of the head.

I also think his wrists and forearms were clubbing the back of his head while his punches landed legally(if that makes any sense).

I disagree, that's a pretty broad definition of back of the head

We can't fault him for the forearms

But at least two of those punches landed hard and clean on the back of the head.

A couple strayed, but they were still right on the crown of the head. No where near the nape of the neck, which is where the real danger for back of the head shots is.

I really don't like what Joe Rogan just did. I mean, saying what he thought, fine, but I don't like him asking Mario Yamasaki over

Joe Rogan is unprofessional as fuck.

I don't think it was the right call

he was hitting mostly side, some were questionable but cmon we see that shit all the time. When a dude is turning his head to avoid the punches, how can you have pinpoint accuracy? Its part of the fight.

Fucking bullshit.

Let’s allow Vitor to get his 3rd TKO in a row by blatant shots to back of the head now, right?

I was so happy that I finally got an 11...

:(

Back down to 16 points bitches

Master of disaster

At least his leg will be a disaster

I went to take a shit.

WTF JUST HAPPENED!!!???

Horrible call ref!

Meathole - January 14, 2012 reply

Jon Jones! Jon Jones! God damn it, Jon Jones! Put this Brazil shirt on and get you some fans!

Who is Jone?

halitosis - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

should have been just a warning like the lesnar fight

but still
FUCK OFF ROGAN

You can disagree with the decision

But does anyone honestly think Joe did the right thing?

me

ME

I did

Let Yamasaki do his job

He happens to be pretty good at it.

I like Yamasaki,

but everyone makes their mistakes, and he made a big one tonight.

I’d love to say fuck Rogan, but we all LOOOOVED how Jim Gray gave it to Russell Mora. A much lesser scale and less severe, but still.

I have no idea what you're talking about

Boxing.

Ah, what happened there?

Abner Mares vs. Joseph Agbeko

not sure if serious but

there was a boxing match where the ref ignored several blatant low blows

after the decision the in-ring interviewer called the ref on it and showed him the replays

I was serious

I don’t really follow boxing. I actually agree with that more than Rogan in this case. Even if Mario was wrong, he was trying to enforce a rule that is in place for fighter safety that’s not the same as ignoring illegal blows.

I know you got knocked out Etim, but in MY mind you’re the winner!

btw

i counted atleast 3 to the back of the head

Rogan is a fucking moron

that was not the time or place to be calling out the ref. He really over steps his role in the UFC too often.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

why is there this magical support for Rogan

Yamasaki fucked up and should be held Accountable

It was unprofessional

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Yamasaki's call was incorrect

good for Joe to do the right thing and call him out on it. professionalism be damned

Agreed

Harley hooper - January 14, 2012 reply

We've had AJ miss weight, a spinning backick KO, and a DQ win...

And Paul Harris is fighting next….

Gongshow, you say?

Whether or not Yamasaki was right, it was incredibly rude of Rogan to speak to him like that and say to Silva he thought he won. Should Yamasaki grab the mike off him next time he messes up a call or says the wrong person’s name?

StevenGiles - January 14, 2012 reply

45-10 pats

Who cares what Rogan did....

Erick Silva learned from Vitor Belfort vs Akiyama

So who else got points?

I need to see this again

Live TV I think those were to the back of the head. As long as they glance the back of the head or partially land then I think the DQ works. Otherwise Yamasaki goofed.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

1-2 out of 15 souldnt be a DQ

silvas looking to finish, its kinda hard to avoid it wen your throwing lots of punches

especially when the other guy is actively trying to position his head in a way so he can only be hit in the back of the head.

Joe Rogan is the man, Mario knew he was wrong and can’t back out of answering the question, saying I had to make a choice at the time. Why could he not wait 1 minute and look at the reply?

The ref made a call.

I doubt Rogan would have done the same thing if the card was in the states. He’s playing to the Brazilian crowd.

No way

Rogan was doing this to ‘play to the crowd’

they were both brazilian

Man I really want to see someone get their LEG RIPPED OFF NOW

Weird fight coming up!

I’m sure there will be something weird.

AND

the ref doesnt have the benefit of replay. And to ask the ref “how do you feel now” is just troll bait.

H has to make quick judgement calls. You cant call him out for something like that

Uhhhh, the ref DOES have replay

He can use the replay to see if a shot was legal or not

Other refs have use instant replay, Mario could have no problem.

Exactly!

He didn’t even use the fucking replay system! It was utter bullshit.

Joe Rogan

is a fucking joke.

I hate Rogan but...

… anyone calling out Rogan on here is acting foolish. Again, we all get furious when the refs or judges fuck up. What is EVER done about it? Nothing! No judges are removed, no one is disciplined, nothing.

The only way to change shit like this is to call it out in public.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

this!

not really

Joe isnt in charge of the quality of reffing. Thats up to the commission and the commission should handle that. Rogan is a color commentator.

No, he's not in charge.

But if he just sits by quietly, nothing is done. Now Yamasaki has been publicly shamed. That is what needs to happen. This shit needs to be aired out publicly. Thats the only way anything changes.

That was unprofessional as fuck. Saying the call was wrong is fine, but forcing Mario to explain himself on the mic is bullshit.

He made a shit call and he should HAVE to explain it.

I’d like to see that happen more often, to be honest.

It's not Joe's Job

and It’s unprofessional.

Then who's job is it?

Who will call the ref out? The only thing that’d happen is a commission reverses the call. When have refs ever been disciplined for bad calls? Sorry, but Joe is in the right.

Shes a HARLOT. Put a scarlet letter on her, I say! Thatll learn her....

Public shaming is not the way to go. Disagreeing with it is fine. The ref doesnt have to explain himself to Rogan.

Oh, so the ref should explain himself to no one, then?

Bullshit. Put that man out there and let him explain why he acted like such a moron.

The commission, or in this case, the UFC

is not ‘no one’. Mario should explain himself to the higher ups. Not the fucking color commentator.

The UFC has NOTHING to do with the refs.

You realize that, right? The commission is the one who deals with the refs. And nothing is ever done about it.

I hope you never, ever bitch about a bad stoppage, shitty judging, etc. if this is your opinion.

the ufc acts as the commission when theres no commission locally

The UFC has zero ability to discipline a ref.

None. Does not matter if they are acting or not.

correct, they dont. In the states where they are employed by their respective commissions.

When hired out of states, the UFC is in control of them. Hence in this case, explain to the UFC

And again

They have no ability at all to discipline a ref. None. You can sit here and spout that stuff out all you want. What’s the UFC going to do? Fire Yamasaki? From what? From their magical commission? They have zero ability to discipline him.

they can stop bringing him to places with no commission.

And use who?

Yamasaki is a generally good ref. One of the better ones. But calls like this still need to be called out. End of story.

what theyll do, if they disagree strongly enough is not hire him for free lance work again.

can they fire him? no
punish him? in a way, by not using him again.
discipline him? No.

But if Mario has to explain himself to anyone, it’s not Rogan….

As above, they are sort of FORCED to use him since so many of the small time refs are horrendous

And not all refs want to travel abroad. Hence why we have the horrible British ref on this card.

forced to? no

theres plenty of decent enough refs

so in those terms

youre saying if he doesnt like a ref call or judges he should interview on the spot instead of commentate like he the know all end all mma watching on this lil planet……..ummmm no

damn you auto correct

hate my phone

Mario fucked up so bad and did not even use the replay system

He should ABSOLUTELY have to explain that.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Joes a commentator and talks about whats relevant

that shitty call was relevant

there is no other way to actively question the commissions

criticisms need to be heard but nobody gives a damn what people complain about on forums. they need to be expressed in the public domain.

Bingo!

Agreed, We've seen what kinda calls the commission makes.

The Chael Sonnen and Alistair Overeem dramas come to mind, and IIRC the decisions made in those cases were not very pleasing.

At this point I perfer Joe calling out the ref to letting the commission “handle” it.

R.J MacReady - January 14, 2012 reply

Joe Rogan is not God

His personal opinion isn’t the be end of all things. It’s unprofessional and inappropriate.

Who gives a shit?

No one else will call the reffing/judging out. No one. Someone has to. Let Joe be the sacrificial lamb. He’s looking out for the sport and the fighters.

Eh, they’ll have to file a complaint to the commission or whatever. Joe Rogan is not a fucking oracle on right and wrong. And as you can see in this thread it’s not only me with this opinion. He’s a commentator to the fights, not a fucking official. It’s completely inappropriate for him to voice his opinions and so blatantly question the referee like that.

If Rogan does not call him out, no one will

Sorry, give me that easily over silence.

No one’s saying he shouldn’t question the call, the problem is forcing the ref to explain himself on the spot like that.

What is wrong with that?

We’ve seen refs give analysis on what they see at the time of a fight before. There is nothing wrong with that. Mario did NOT have to answer, either.

It's a battle you won't win man

These guys don’t like Rogan’s comedy so they will call him unprofessional any chance they can. You are right though. Bunch of babies in here sometimes.

And I am a HUGE critic of Rogan

I hate him and Goldie. But he is 100% right here, for once.

Yeah, generalise

That’s the way to make your point.

It's the only way

I love how a man got royally screwed over and all people care about is Rogan's manners.

R.J MacReady - January 14, 2012 reply

^^^this

Odds are Silva will still get his bonus and will be booked as if he won

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

As he should.

That DQ is a travesty of justice.

R.J MacReady - January 14, 2012 reply

thank you

I didn’t like hat Rogan did, I didn;t like the call either.

Take it out on Massenzio Paul Harris

Just wondering...

What does the UFC define as back of the head? From the ears back? That would be important to know here.

mabel4life - January 14, 2012 reply

Great match up

Grit and heart vs getting your leg ripped off.
Nah, still hope it’s a good fight

Massenzio is about to go home w/ only 1 leg tonight

There is NO commission in Brazil so I think the UFC can change it

I can't wait for Palhares to do something crazy again.

Its going to happen

He just a simple man who doesn’t know better.

He really said that about himself.

Really?

lol.

His manager said it almost verbatim

And he basically said the same thing in an interview last week.

That's the most absurd excuse for behaving like an idiot during fights.

Perhaps Babalu and Yvel too are simple men who don’t know better.

So a wheel chair is present ringside?

You see lots of hammerfists like that

to the back of people’s heads every PPV and they never call it. That Nordic Guy did the same thing to Matyushenko a few weeks ago.

I don’t know. I think those shots are illegal. I don’t know if mario should have Dq’s him, but…

Jotorious - January 14, 2012 reply

Illegal is illegal

Yet he landed only about 1-2, where you see other fights (Griggs, Vitor x2, etc.) unload and absolutely nothing happens to them.

One punch to the back of the head is enough to pause the fight. Its like a fury of knees but one lands to the nuts. the Ref automatically calls time

None of that shit would've happened in the states...

Or it wouldn’t be as much as a clusterfuck.

why? rogan would be there, so would yamasaki. Maybe it would be different in a state with replay, but that would probably be an even bigger clusterfuck, just one that ends with the correct decision.

I meant the whole public flogging situation...

I think Mario screwed up (if the punches were that bad why not press the pause button the fight and deduct a point) but a commission would’ve hated that to happen to one of their refs.

it’s not a video game, you can’t push pause. He moved in to stop the fight and more punches were thrown. The commission would have hated it, but there would have been nothing they could do about it, just like they can’t do anythign when rogan blasts a stoppage or a decision.

Intent should count for something.

He landed maybe 2 of 10 strikes to the back of the head, but he was clearly going for the side.

TBH that’s BS. If you don’t mean to kick someone in the nuts, is it better for him?

Nonsense. When would someone being trying to KO someone by going for the nuts?

An illegal blow is an illegal blow, whether you’re clumsy or angry. And kicking someone actually does count when you’re trying to win a fight. just trying to relate it to a more common situation

I know it's an adrenaline dump and all

But there needs to be a time where fighters have to stop trying to finish fights with hammerfists. Way too often it ends up hitting the back of the head.

Hoosy, by round 1 leg rape.

dude

leg missionary

Round 2

Zany hijinks and shenanigans in the first round

I would like to apologize to the community.

But black dynamite

I sell drugs to the community

The bone collector.

If I had the best wrestling in the division

I still wouldn’t want to fight Palhares.

now there’s an idea.

tss tss he is built like, like a bodybuilder or sumthing tss tss

"With no commission to oversee things here I bet the UFC overturns that to a no contest."

Does the ufc have the power to do that?

they shouldn't

pretty much its all on their call down there

Imanari is a fucking asshole. Don’t reference that clownshoe.

What did he do to you?

I hate how he acts in the ring/cage.

Maybe he danced with his wife and refused to take pictures?

Nice

Can't wait for Paul to do some stupid shit

Was I the only one impressed by Paul Harris' standup in his last fight?

Maybe Palhares will get Rogan in a choke

I'd love to see Palhares/Sonnen

so sick

Pretty sure he'll break Sonnen's shit.

I would love to see it, too

Sonnen would not be able to walk for a while

Better than a Shamrock ankle-lock

he has replaced shamrock as the leg lock man

another leg for the mantlepiece

Thank God I got that fight right.

23 points…. fml. Sorry OBP

jason18 - January 14, 2012 reply

Paul Harris is so talented but his metal state keeps him from getting to the top level, his handlers really need to help him out.

Move to aluminum?

dat unibrow

Please give him Chael after he loses to Munoz

Idk say for a UFC on Fuel headliner in Brazil :)

oh stop bloberg

Is he capable of pulling the Ryo Chonan special on Anderson?

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

i think he has a chance for sure

More capable than Ryo

But Silva would know what was coming.

Yeah, and I don’t know that he could last long enough standing to close the distance and wrap Andy up

Probably not

But knowing Anderson, he would tap the moment Rousimar start going for the knee bar.

Like a smart man would.

Everybody knows what’s coming with Paul Harris, though.

Anderson taps quick

doesnt mean they can stop it though

This

Lesson for the day. Poor ppl will eventually rip your leg off.

Really poor people live under bridges

Please give him Chael after he loses to Munoz

Idk say for a UFC on Fuel headliner in Brazil :)

He can beat any MW grappler

Let him face the winner of Belfort/Johnson

loser of Chael Munoz

only if Chael loses :)

Remember his face when Babulu had him in a heel hook?

That x10 if he fights Paul Harris.

The real question is

Do you think Chael would take a chance and fake tap Paul Harris lmao he’d break his shit if they restarted the fight

Vitor v Johnson

should be violent

Lyoto is still kinda unconscious

i just want palhares v. anderson

seriously, even if anderson is miles better than him, palhares could pull of some crazy shit out of nowhere. i just need to see what that fight looks like.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

jesus vitor relax, its just warm ups

I think it's time to stop pissing around and give Palhares someone who is in the top 25

Last time that happened he derped his way into a TKO loss

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Danny Miller

was top 25

But why?

he is stll 7-2 in the ufc with losses to two top mws

he has the one skill that he could use to beat every single guy in the ufc. he needs to get in a position for a title shot.

I totally agree. Never doubted that for a second.

Just want to make sure people realize that, you know, he HAS had chances in the UFC thus far.

He also lost that fight

because he is dumb as fuck.

i'm not sure why i find this comment so funny

Because it's true

lol

I'd love to see him fight Chael,

but realistically the Stann/Sakara winner would be good.

You mean 205+?

“Can Anthony bring that power to 185 pounds?”

We don’t fucking know, do we Joe? We’ll see if he can bring it to 197.

I hear brought it to 187.5lbs

but he couldn’t feel his legs.

Clearly taped these waaayyy before the weigh-ins

This is a fun card

But it’s not a great PPV. I am just not pumped about this.

So far, me too.

this is about right

besides one or 2 things, its all bn a little underwhelming

Palhares vs. Okami

Yushin Okami out 6 months

Expect Jesus, bro.

Everyday.

This one's ending in the first too

Rumbleweight bout

Palhares vs. Okami/Boetsch winner

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Belfort by sub round 1. hey ya never know

You go girl

Rumble gonna rumble.

If you were a UFC MW

would you take the fight against Palhares?

only if I was Dan Henderson

I would

if I hated walking

I would if I had no legs

This has already been discussed

There should be a "taking a fight with Palhares" bonus

No

Please UFC give us the true weight of fighters when they enter the octagon!

these two weighed in just after the prelims started

Johnson weighed in at 211

like an hour or two ago. Vitor at 208.

Nice choice, AJ.

Makes me think of Saint’s Row 3.

Ahhhh.

I can’t wait to go and troll Forrest on the bloddy elbow radio thread

Are we a little tipsy tonight, Ham?

getting there

Whoops, I meant beef.

Guess I’m getting there too.

Hey, troll away. Remember to go “TRAIN WITH KING MO, BECOME BEST MIDDLEWEIGHT EVER”

hahah

Rumble should not celebrate if he wins, if he does he’ll make a bigger ass of himself

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

similar to Hallman-Makdessi

He should have an over the top celebration and eat multiple hamburgers while Joe Rogan asks him questions

Looking a bit chunky around the face anthony

he didnt have to cut weight.

lol

cool rogan gave the weights!

white tweeted it earlier too

Now do it for every fight!

Has psychoblack checked in yet?

Ridicoulous Power… but no discipline

Brent's description of the Paul Harris fight is great

It’s so predictable, and so awesome

The high kick could be big for Johnson

Power it goes with everything

Why don’t they always tells us there fight weights!

The best Rumble Johnson

One day and a few pounds away from death.

I hope Vitor blitzkriegs his ass

I hate when guys go over

Anthony Johnson

Fight ends in round 1

KO / TKO

haha i think that is what i picked too, im dooooomed.

I had rumble

but switched it to Vitor ko round 1 last night..not sure how I feel about it!

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

remix of 300 strings, i like vitors style

Was a guy screaming ICE CREEAMMM early in the song?

COFFEE HEATH BAR!

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

he came out to 133 with it too, its a brazilian guy yelling jesus stuff

Johnson

FUCKING LOL

What song is this Vitors coming out to?

It's awesome

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

300 VIOLIN strings - Jorge Quintero

except he has an angry man yelling over it. still awesome

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

You know the remix title at all?

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

i think i have it somewhere on my itunes, ill find it

If you can find it, definitely post up the real title

Would be MUCH appreciated, dude

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

posted a youtube link below

Vitor TKO rnd 2

+1

I like Power but damn this song is hard

Can we all be honest? Paul Harris’ fight was free points.

thats what i thought erick silva was gonna be too

Shit, Yamasaki almost DQ’d him for not having his mouthpiece in.

sugarfoot ray looking good

If this is Vitor’s last great moment it would be a great time to do it. AJ really is a bully picking on guys smaller than him his whole career.

These guys should have just agreed to fight at 205 and skip the weight cut. Less gassing

Vitor didn’t skip the cut.

Simen - January 14, 2012 reply

They woulda had to cut to 205 :P

Tweet from Dana

Here we go!!! This fight is going to be VERY interesting!!!!

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

translation:

“rumble loses, his ass is OUT”

or if he wins he better look damn good

Rumble pulls him down for the whole fight and wins a boring decision-any other takers?

That would cement his heel turn

Vitor is going to make Rumble pay for disrespect quick

C'mon VITOR!

Anthony Johnson’s head is weird.

He is at the end of his prime, slightly past I would think. 28-32/33 is prime for MMA.

Oh what a bitch slap

Tom Brady just punted on 3rd down

what?!?!?!?

Seriously

There is 3 mins left and Brady punted from shotgun. It was a good punt too.

And Denver started a fight.

lol

Oh shit

LOL

That is hilarious.

haha really?

it was a pretty good punt too

hey hey hey

I DONT WANNA HEAR THAT IN THE CO-MAIN GO TAKE THAT to that mmamania article

Regretting my pick on this one.

Me too

I think Rumble might be able to pull it off

Johnson is gonna get hit and have that deer in the headlights look he had against Kos

Regretting where I put money on this fight.

I bought a sack of donuts.

LOL

Every time Tebow gets pissed, I picture what he actually says. It’s always either “Dang it!”, “Geez Louise!”, “Jiminy Cricket!” or “Phooey!” — Jeff Passan.

this is belforts intro song

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Much love

Thanks man

Man, it breaks my heart to see Vitor’s sister picture beside his banner

I wonder what he thought about Diaz coming out to a song about her.

Rumble looking mean we need a gif of that

when he went back to his side

Don’t touch his fucking gloves, Vitor.

So it begins….

Is that Vitors sister on his banner?

yes

i think

Yep

Such a sad story of that girl.

agreed

Its a damn shame

The Brazil fans chant “you gonna die” to foreigners, and kidnap and ransom the sister of a fellow brazilian.

Place is no joke…

ruh roh

Anthony “Rumble” Woodley

It's a pretty proven method to beat Belfort

LMAO

Someone is gonna land a big one

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

good standup

Little quick on the stand up.

yeah i mean come on

ooh. back of the head.

mario panicked and stood them up

Great Chant

OLE, OLE OLE OLE, VITOOOOR, VITOOOOR

Vitor belfort

after OEEE OEE OEE OEEEEEEEEE

Tan Dan is the man tonight

fixed

Tan Dan ~~is the man~~ doesn’t want to get stabbed by angry Brazilians tonight

Rumble better knock this shit off if he wants to fight in an 8-sided ring next time.

Damn

Vitor coulda got away, he made a mistake.

tan dan is keeping this shit moving real quick

Rumble is already gassed

rumble looks tired already

KidCanada - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Vitor winning the standup, and keeps getting stoodup, good for him

WTF is with these stand ups?

quick standups lol. Tan Dan doesn’t like fools who miss weight.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

good stand up again

big dan is having none of this shit

rumbles gonna lose

damn… smh these quick standups

Ref is doing 30 second in full guard standup technque

FUCK HIS SHIT VITOR!!!!!!!!!

pure bullshit

These standups are way too quick!

Feels like PRIDE?

Johnson isn’t doing anything. He’s trying to slow the pace down.

getting sloppy

Rumble young man rumble

Hard for me to feel bad for rumble

He's dying a little bit with each second that he spends in that cage, though...

GAS

Rumble stand-up looks like Mayhem stand-up.

No AC

Anyone think Dana/Lorenzo put a bug on Dan’s ear?

In

yeap

warren305 - January 14, 2012 reply

were those to the back of the head?

Dammit, you survive Johnson, I need a 2nd round KO

Shit nope, 1st round

I’ll take 7 points on that

back of the head

Vitor has like 2 subs in his entire career lol

FIRED!

rumble vs. t-wood for the strikeforce title?

On undercard?

Meathole - January 14, 2012 reply

Mirgliotta was standin it up like he had money on the fight

^^This!

he was standing them up like the guy on top was stalling and had no intention of doing anything on top

seriously, i am all for allowing the guys a chance to work, but rumble wasnt doing anything.

maybe he made a deal with Dana haha

Rumble will be cut

Missed weight..completely gassed. Awful performance

KidCanada - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Rumble seriously abandoned all gameplan once he got hit.

And he just gave right the fuck up

Put an apple in Johnson's mouth

He’s done

Rumble

YOUUUU’RE FIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRED

WAR PHENOM!

rumble looked terrible in there

Rumble vs. Marquardt in DREAM.

5 POINTS

looks like Rumble knew this would be a 1 round fight.

He gassed. Don’t know if it was due to the weight cut or not

Probably a mix of a number of things

Too much McDonald’s

Too little cardio training

Too much cutting

Too little smarts

Rumble got faded

Hard

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Who went for a 1st round submission?

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I had first round KO. Still, I will take the points. War Vitor.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 points, good enough for me.

I literally

just made weird animalistic grunts and gargling sounds when he got the tap.

Blackzillas been getting owned

Pyschoblack is gonna give up MMA

Let's see...

last fights:

Guillard – L
Evans – W
Johnson – L
BF Silva – L
Mittrione – L

… not sure who else.

Blackzilians

Google tells me that Blackzilla is a porn star.

themoreyouknow.jpeg

And I'll take the 7

Being stood up/split up 3 times didn't help

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

johnson wasnt doing anything

Rumble, Slap yourself

Anthony Johnson

It’s Been Real,but you put this on yourself

Curtis2012 - January 14, 2012 reply

So do they cut Johnson now?

Hope so

Banished to Bellator, I’ll bet.

Simen - January 14, 2012 reply

his last submission was against Alistair overeem in 2005 haha

Overeem sub’d him.

oh fuck you’re right. So it’s 2001 hahaha

Fuck tonight

Sorry team

cmons - January 14, 2012 via Android app reply

You gonna get sacked

Tan Dan was militant with those standups

not one of them was necessary

good

Eh, Rumble wasn't doing squat with them

I had no problem with them

My man Rumble

Embarrassing hisself.

His eye is fucked

Again?

Like Rumble's career.

How many Brazilians have won tonight?

i got to say, so far this card has been dissapointing

some good finishes but no really good fights

they were both gonna gas

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Rumble Fadedddddddddddd

Atmosphere created

Fuck!

I just can’t get the rounds right! Gonna have to make do with another 5pts.

Ref

was on point tonight. Perfect stand ups.

Rumble did have a bit of decent offense until after the 1st takedown though

Apparently brazilian-rules stand-ups are in effect

Also, Rumble put up an awful effort beyond that hard shot that swelled up Vitor’s eye.

Cut Rumble now.

ok War Mendes man he has the best shot at beating Aldo

Sorry MDH.

If it helps I hate myself right now.

i screwed the pooch too

Hector Lombard vs. Rumble imo

Rumble would have a tough time even getting to Lombard with guys like Falcao now in there.

Like I said, Jesus is in brazil not denver

if he was in denver, he took a wrong turn somewhere

"I just chocked a man out with the power of Jesus!"

“Thank You Jesus for letting me be a straight up killer!”

lol

Jesus is a black belt in everything.

Jesus not only didn't tap, he still helps beat the living shit out of people

Not takedown defense.

Tebow is gonna be pissed when he learns that Jesus is cheating on him with other athletes.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

War Tan Dan!

try to stall? your gonna get stood up

Joe Rogan talking about being unprofesional

HAHAHAHA

old vitor?

WELCOME BACK?

Gonna be interesting to see how many fans peace out after this fight. I’m guessing at least 25%.

this was my actual main event to be honest

You talking in the arena?

Aldo hasn’t been looking that dynamic lately. Hell, the only champion that I want to see fight less at the moment is Cruz.

Hoping for a double Ko in the main event

I really don’t like either one of em.

Too bad it will never happen

you dont like Jose Aldo?!

Never have

How you can hate that boyish laughter is beyond me

anything in particular? Dont like his style or personality?

I really can't tell you

I just don’t. I do like his leg kicks though.

RT: @mauroranallo: Anthony Johnson, Sam Caplan on line one! :)

burn

Sam Caplan?

Bellator matchmaker

Haha, that's pretty funny shit then

Bellator matchmaker i think

whos Sam Caplan?

besides being a writer of amazing MMA material

look above

That was 10 times clever than most of what he says during telecasts

Nice... Well maybe rumble can just gain a Ton of weight and sign on for the next hw tourney

Look out Kole Conrad rumbles coming for you

RECE ROCK - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

he wont make the HW cut

I can’t believe how many folks didn’t know who Sam Caplan is…

RECE ROCK - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

yeah

The Bellator matchmaker is such a big mainstream name

He was more famous from his Five Ounces of Pain days...

but that’s been a while…

Good defeats evil!

JC baby!

I hate to see what they're gonna do for sub bonuses

please don’t screw my boy Paul

Vitor looks like the Nogs with that swollen up eye from the right angle

From what I can tell from these comments, I am glad I didn’t shell out 50 bucks when most of it can be recapped in a few gifs.

xDieseLx - January 14, 2012 reply

Not sure how I feel about the standups

they felt too quick.

But Rumble deserved it so i don’t care.

exactly how i feel

maybe he got screwed but fuck him

him getting ctfo is the moment of my night

came with some unprofessional shit then turned on the fans

That chick with Rua was smokin' hot

thats my gf

Why's she dancing with Shogun?

I let her do it. Just so that I could get a photo with him. I’ll post them later though

He’ll get his photo soon enough

This Belfort fellow seems quite promising

Maybe he can get a title fight with a little more experience

@brentbrookhouse Brent Brookhouse
So, despite Rogan telling me over and over it was the doctors and Rumble was at 186. Now it’s over and over that it was unprofessional.

Aldo's is about to amputate Mendes' leg

slowly and painfully.

Rua's woman is hot.

Women love unibrows, bro

Excessive bodyhair is a sign of high testosterone = manlyhood

Women must love Brian Ebersole, then.

And ME!

Actually.. no, sadly. But it’s true, bodyhair and balding is generally caused by high testosterone levels. I’ll intimidate every meterosexual at the bath house though.

Glad Vitor won, but the standups were brutal. Gotta give the fighter a chance to work.

Rumble should have actually worked, then

He didn’t try to pass at all. Just hugged Vitor in guard.

I think he was working.

You don’t have to pass guard to be working. Vitor’s eye was busted up nice from the shoulder strikes and the few punches he landed.

Shoulders strikes are not working

Clay Guida is the perfect representative for non-working shoulder strikes. Rumble is just big as fuck, so he can do a bit of damage with them.

I just think Dan got caught up in the moment.

The first standup was one thing, but the other one was literally seconds before he got stood up again. At any rate, I’m not shedding any tears for AJ.

Well this is where my partial mind strikes in. Those two stand-ups where quick as FUCK. But I don’t care since it was a disadvantage towards overweight cheat bastard Johnson

tan dan was punishing rumble for coming in heavy

i'm thinking dan had money on vitor

NOPE!

Johnson didn’t move to pass, he didn’t deserve the positions.

from the short time he was on the ground i felt it was clear that rumble had no intention to work.

all i saw from him was stalling.

True

But it’s hard for me to feel bad for rumble

Pretty much this.

Eh, fuck that guy.

Three strikes, you’re out.

haha.

Unless you're Dan Hardy.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

he wasnt even 'progressing' to work tough

He was busy with the ground and pound though

Yes.

Vitor probably landed more on the bottom than Rumble did from the top

This main card sure makes up for that mediocre undercard

Fire Rumble!!

One of the most wasted talents in UFC history

Oh yeah.

I was actually considering becoming a fan in the last few weeks. But after the weigh-ins yesterday? GTFO!

NE 45 DEN 10 FINAL

How was the brawl?

Jesus was too busy with Vitor, evidently.

i submit to this better response

Jesus loves standups.

See what I did there.

Jesus wins some for you, and loses some

Everybody ready

for another “Alpha” male title fight loss?

If Aldo finishes him, I will do YUS cartwheels down the hall of my hotel.

By the end of year "Alpha" males

Will hold 3 UFC belts

Only if Benavidez defends twice.

Phase 1 about to be complete

60 pts for me tonight

I will shiv you in your sleep!

Damn even if I hit the main event perfect I won't crack 50

I think I’m at 44 :(

yeah Im at 45 that Silva fight screwed me.

Me too, that woulda been 11 more for me

I got 47 so far

I honestly think I’m doing pretty good with that score

Fucking 34pts

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

beautfiful people - chris brown / benny benassi

love it

ugh

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Benassi has had quite the career resurgance, why the hate big guy?

dont like this dancy/pop/rnb collaberation wave thats going on right now

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

fair enough

diffefent strokes for different blokes

why does Rogan keep saying aldo has probably the best take down defense besides Bones Jones?

Love Aldo but I don’t think hes really been tested by a real wrestler

Because of his very high TDD %.

About 90 i read somewhere

Well Faber and Brown are wrestlers, sort of.. possibly Brookins too. But yeah Mendes is waaay better than those guys.

Jon Jones is def above Aldo P4P, Jon got the title and kept dominating and finishing fights.

Aldo has more defenses.

Aldo fucked up Brown Faber Manny and Hominick along with a trail of destruction leading up to MTB

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

finishing is not what p4p means but their close

Jones, not only finish he finish in a division that is at a higher level than 145. Jones is def higher than Aldo P4P. And he is like the 4th or so best fighter in MMA.

In my mind

P4P means if all fighters were the same weight who would win. Jones is talented but his reach and strength advantages play a massive role in his success

Anyone else have an uninspiring performance on MMA Playground tonight?

Sitting at 44 now

49 here. And that’s one of the pretty scores on my team.

Mario killed us, I’m at 45.

Not playing this season

But my picks are horrible

I think I am.

Probably not as bad as yours, though. But, yes, let’s make peace and fail together.

From what it looks like

a majority did bad.

eh considering I got screwed out of 7 points with the Silva fight I think everyone is salty

I'm in the gutter, bro

Sitting at 34

me too

yeap

I think they gave johnson's 20% to miragliotta

-Roy Nelson

ha

Hate how Joe and Goldie say that Aldo being no.1 P4P is debateable when he is fighting but when Anderson is fighting he is the undisputed no.1. I get hyping the fight but cmon nobody is buying that shit

i am no longer capable of paying attention to them when they shill. i can't recall them saying that even though i was watching them talk.

I watch the events live while on BE then rewatch the next day. Its seriously like I hadnt heard anything they say on the broadcast

Oh, by the by, don’t think I forgot about some people bitching at me for having the GALL to call out “the best in the business” Joe Rogan in my last FanPost.

That's how bad MMA commentators are

He pulls this shit and is STILL the best

Guess what I'm drinking bro

BV and regular Coke.

BV and PEPSI MAX, bro!

Shit, I forgot that was your nectar!

Well, you’re 75% there :)

I believe my exact comment was

I agree with every word in this post

I remember, my friend.

OK

Vitor shook off AJ’s TDs, Aldo shakes off Mendes’ takedowns.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

Chad Moneybags by strikes round 3

probably gonna blow up in my face though ah well its been a good night

You, sir, should be prepared to be wrong

Very

considering Mendes doesn’t hit hard.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

he has power tough, i was sold after the Omigawa fight

this fight probably gonna be boring as shit,

GUNS N' ROSES!

Nice walkout, Chad

Aldos last two decisions in the UFC is not making me think ALdo is one of the best P4P fighters in the world

Finishes don't advance you in the P4P rank.

In my P4p rankings they do

And you are?

Im a fan of the sport

Dominating, interesting performances do, though.

Aldo P4P king is a serious misnomer IMHO

OK GnR...

I like it

I would love it if Tan Dan were doing this fight

And standing them up like the Vitor fight

WAR CHAD MENDEs

but please don’t use GnR again

LOB CITY DOING WORK

Beat LA

Great Arena Rock

I hope Aldo changed his usual entrance music

Runs this town does fit in with the setting though....

Fit better in the Faber fight

it does indeed

I hope he keeps it just as anderson always does

:)

:) there it is

The worst part of tonight has to be that 3 fucks actually picked Carlo Prater to win, and got points out of it.

at least one of them is on my team

lmaginary Enemy - January 15, 2012 reply

Yeah I even got an underdog bonus lol

Nice

what’d you end up with?

lmaginary Enemy - January 15, 2012 reply

47 I think

Still a sucker score but I wasnt even expecting to hit 40

you got 40. We all did pretty shit. SethSmiley lead our team

lmaginary Enemy - January 15, 2012 reply

Prater "win" not counted?

Is it just me or has This has been a lackluster PPV

A ecent card, but not a 50 dollar card.

The nice thing is that it looked that way on paper as well, so it’s not like a stacked card that turned stinker.

No buyer's remorse here

But I don’t know how to stream like you guys

free on xbox

Sucks for those of us that weren't home to take advantage when they opened the floodgates

I've enjoyed it tonight

Brazilians running things as usual when in Rio

Luckily, I didn’t pay for it.. since it wasn’t worth it. Sadly.

I’ll go for a striker with godlike TDD over a great wrestler whose striking is ok

how is god’s tdd?

His son is a BB in TDD.

and submission defense

I heard he didnt tap!

We give Mendes shit

But he’s never main evented a UFC, or even a WEC show, and his first ME is for a title in the champion’s hometown?

Definitely a man-up moment.

No kidding. Has he even been on the main card of a UFC show?

Maybe once?

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE CHAD

I hope Team Brazilian Realworld Scar can bring it to Team Prettyboy American Whiteteeth

I’d say Belfort for Sub, since it was actually half-surprising.

Johnson has a weak ground game

and Palhares rips guys legs off.

I hope they don't give it to him just cause he's more popular

Same way they fucked somebody when Mirko got that sub that one time

i hated when they gave it to Lesnar over Carwin when Lytle hit the sweetest mounted triangle/armbar ever

fixed that for ya...

This is not a great thing to read when a guy is going UP in weight

“He can’t get it and looks too tired to stand up”

going down, yeah

i was kinda hoping mendes would come out to this song

a little twist

Aldo by all around dominance

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

apparenty a ship sank recently, havent seen that happen in a while

Hah, yeah

A Costa Cruise ship. Being a law student, I read a Supreme Court decision involving that company. Long story short, they are pretty scummy and it kind of makes sense it’d happen to them.

Are you suffering?

?

I'm a prospective law student

and my brother’s a 2L

Ahhhh

Yeah, dude. Shit sucks. 1L is half done. Thank God.

I think they arrested the capt for abandoning ship… What the fuck in 2012 your still expect to go down with the ship? Sssshhhhiiitt

RECE ROCK - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

GOD DAMN I HATE THIS SONG

SO FUCKING BAD

This

im kinda over it now as a walkout song

it was so bad ass when he came out to this in sacramento against faber

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

never figured out, why is there a quack in it?

Rihanna is unbearable

Unless you're looking at her naked on......

That forehead will not be ignored

I'll ignore it from behind

She looks like ET and a giraffe...

had an abortion.

That's what he said.

And then went to jail for a little while.

EEEIIEEAAAAEEEHHH

Crowd pressure for standups

doesn’t bode well for Mendes

Hadn't thought about this

Yeah if ref does like he did Rumble then Chad is fucked

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

crowd booing Mario

Where’s your “knowledgeable crowd” now, Joe?

lol did the crowd just boo Yamasaki?

Boo this man Mario.

Someone needs to gif...

…Arianny mouthing along to “main event of the evening”. Cute.

normski - January 14, 2012 reply

I didn’t see that! Respect.

there is nothing cute about arianny

She has a disgusting personality

KidCanada - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app reply

And you know this how?

Fat Anderson Silva in the crowd

did you say Rumble is in the crowd?

Nah, he's already at McDonald's

Mendes is so dead

Did vitor just pretty much send Rumble to Bamma?

elmojo - January 14, 2012 reply

Vitor just sent rumble to Burger king

I don't think so

But I seem to be in the minority

yes

More like ten years ago, when you could still get away with that shit.

I hope so

Hai

Rumble....Get The Fuck Out....NOW!!!

Dana, please cut this guy.
He didnt make weight, acted like he didnt care and got his ass kicked.

I am hoping Aldo performs awesomely

im sick and tired of Rogan saying hes #3 p4p and his fights havent been all that amazing in UFC.

elmojo - January 14, 2012 reply

Mario better not fuck this up

the crowd syncing with Buffer...

AWESOME

Mendes is Fast!!!

I just need Aldo to win to put me over 50 points. Please…please.

Team Alpha Midget

lmfao

Dom?

Team First World

Guess Form Athletics went out of business?

FUCK HE KICKS HARD

Hahaha

Aldo: “Did you just try to leg kick me, motherfucker???”

Hopefully Maynard taught Aldo how to beat a smaller wrestler

He can't seem to get the job done, though...

What wrestler has exploited Aldo in the past?

It was an Edgar joke Mr Serious

Missed it

oh snap

Money could make 135

No idea about the innerworkings of such things.

But if part of Amp’s sponsorship of Faber was that they had to sponsor his teammates too, that’s pretty fuckin solid on Urijah’s part.

I can’t imagine Mountain Dew rushing to sponsor Chad Mendes.

Maybe they're sponsoring Alpha Male

And Faber’s the face of the ad camaign?

Even back in the WEC days?

Doubt a company like that is gonna sponsor a WEC camp, which is when Faber started with them.

Is that when the sponsorship started?

Then, yeah, maybe Faber did some work for his team

Urijah is a pretty good guy to his friends

He looks like a surfer douche though

Yeah..I think it's an Alpha Male thing...

I remember they did the same with No Fear

mendes looks nervous

He should be

Who wouldn't be?

Chads in trouble if he doesnt get this down

SLOW ROAST HIM ALDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO FULL GSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol Mendez is going with the rabbit in the head lights strat.

He has no idea how to get inside

Knees to the ass wont win the fight

That would have been sweet if aldo didn't grab the fence

huge fence grab lol

sorry bus feeders

poor night of picks so far

gspmademegay - January 14, 2012 reply

nice elbow from the back by Aldo

Shit!!!!!!

Goodnight!!!!!!!!!

that is boarderline point deduction worthy

he prevented a takedown by using the fence

FUCKCKCKCKKCKCKCKCKCKKCKC

FUCK YEAH

OH SHIT!

WHAT HAPPENED?

Aldo ko'd him with a nee then ran out into the crow and they're carrying him on their shoulders

OMFG

FUCK ME!!!

he’s loose!

HOLYS HIT

Jesus.

YEAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tanakz - January 14, 2012 reply

LOL

What a FUCKING KNEE

Oh shit!

Barboza has some competition!!

Aldo = GSP

Clearly he will suck forever.

Moment of the year

amazing celebration is an understatement

agreeed

where the fuck is he going

hahahahha Pay me my money....IN CASH!!!!

i dont care if this ppv only had 15 buys, jose is a star in brazil now. that is all that matters.

Aldo is nuts lol

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 14, 2012 reply

this is bizarre

That right hand was almost Hendo-esque

violence boner

Bonus both of them. They have to.

oops

to SevenRings

King.

any other night that wins KO of the Night

The crowd love this kid like nothing else

Who in that crowd is a threat to Aldo?

That was one of the best moments in UFC history

That’s going in MMA folklore.

That celebration is one of the best moments in MMA history

damn tonight has just been weird...

and whats with the refs stopping fights so damn quickly, goddamnit

areyoufroreal ?

Really?

What about Mendes said he was defending himself?

his head was defending his brain from that knee

Tell that to his concussion

The punch that went through his face and all the way to the floor?

lulz

he didn't have a chance to defend himself

cause by the time he hit the floor mario was already stopping the fight

Mario didn't come til Jose landed 2-3 punches after.

By the time Mario moved in his face was being beaten through the mat

ah shut up

Wow.

jason18 - January 14, 2012 reply

Early stoppage just like the Barboza fight

LOL

Yeah a fighter has an atom detonated on his face and somehow it's an early stoppage.

*atom bomb

When the crowd was booing was he holding up a rival soccer club's flag???

Yeah, that Aldo is the new GSP? BAH

Shouldn’t you be cartwheeling right now?

Back in a minute.

That was awesome!

Still pissed about that hardcore cage grab

Eh, he was warned and threatened with a point

Shit happens in every fight.

Everyone does it, its basically legal. It annoys me too, but its just the way it is.

It's a natural reaction, so I give it a bit of leeway

If it gets out of hand, take the point.

But you agree with DQing someone for

a natural reaction of trying to finish the fight if a punch lands in the back of the head?

I've always wondered

if some kind of plexiglass might be better.

Andy Davis - January 14, 2012 reply

Except when someone gets pushed to the fence

and bangs their head on the wall.

the obvious downside to that is the potential blood smear

If Aldo fights in Brazil again they’re going to line the cage up with double the security so he can’t get out.

Fuck that

Let him run

Translater is Jon Heder

hahahaha....Scarface Mother Fuckers

Oh no... Aldo isn't the same in the UFC

Styles make fights folks, and florian and hominic presented unique challenges. I think Kenny and Mark deserve more respect./ end I told you so rant.

Awesome showing, loved the celebration at the end.

JaeeJaee - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

Fuck that, this card was worth the money. Glad I bought it. Supported the Featherweights.

An awesome main card

The Silva controversy is the only low point of the night

But still interesting.

Doesn’t take away from the fight.

drama is good regardless how it happens.

Sullies it a lot in my opinion

And I don’t know how you appeal that without a commission.

Chris Hall - January 15, 2012 reply

Same here.

Also a supporter of seeing “Team Alpha Male” fighters not named Joseph Benavidez get a beatdown.

dv8shun - January 15, 2012 reply

So, yeah. Anyone know what that red and black flag was?

When he lifted it, crowd started booing. I figure it was a rival soccer club’s flag

someone said he supported/was sponspored by Flamengo who are the best supported club in Brazil

It’s the club Aldo supports, Flamengo.

i didnt see it

but i would think it would be a flamengo flag. i think jose said that was his team. it is a rio based team.

if only the milf translator was in there right now, it would be perfect

i needed those 11 points

I think im at a very average score of 55 now. At least its not like 30 or something

55

is very good for this card

this kid is 21-1 and is what…25? Absolute beast. People said he hadnt been tested by a great wrestler but just like JDS just because you havent fought won doesnt mean he doesnt have awesome TDD

We already knew he had awesome TDD, now we know it even more bester!

Aldo and Reem have the P4P best Knees in MMA.

Cub Swanson agrees

slapjaw ackrite - January 15, 2012 reply

Brock Lesnar Agrees

AfroSamurai - January 15, 2012 reply

Fujita agrees also

Cunny - January 15, 2012 reply

Jose Aldo is a fucking boss.

Money looks identical to Faber there

Without the bum on his face

I thought he sounded like me as well.

That translater is awesome. I couldnt repeat what he said in english if he was speaking english

I want that aldo celebration video

Classy

Mendes?

Very gracious

Best celebration ever.

Can we start getting some honest analysis prefight?

Mendes had a very small chance coming in here, and I’m really tired of Joe and Goldie acting like every fight is a fucking coin flip.

Mendes was a legitimate threat

sun yue - January 15, 2012 reply

and he got completely shut down.

av1o3 - January 15, 2012 reply

It's easy to look at the fight after the fact,

but going in a good amount of people were picking Mendes

sun yue - January 15, 2012 reply

Eh I picked Aldo but Mendes did have me worried

Dude is the master of taking down and stifling.

Not until we get commentators who don’t work for the company putting on the fights. You know, like other sports.

Simen - January 15, 2012 reply

I picked Mendes. Legitimately. Thought nobody could stop his wrestling. Pictured a Sonnen-Silva fight, actually.

So you picked Mendes expecting him to lose?

;)

YEAH BUT STILL, JON!

trolololol <3

Small chance?

Disagree. Mendes is an awesome wrestler and has taken down everyone hes ever fought. He had a definite method of victoy here. Maybe not likely but he had a chance

Seriously

Its like they’re trying to sell a fight you already bought.

Rogan said Rumble would be the best he’s ever been tonight, knowing goddamn well he almost died yesterday.

No one has had any success whatsoever wrestling with Jose, no matter how well they wrestled in college.

I don’t see how people thought someone is going to lay and pray a guy who never gets taken down and has clowned black belts and former champions on the mat.

TheFilt - January 15, 2012 reply

LAST TWO UFC'S STRIKER VS WRESTLER

think we got a trend here people

MSEMCEE - January 15, 2012 reply

Not this fucking hair again....Damn you Funch

it's the cherry on top of the shit nugget

aldo is vitor's brother

Cunny - January 15, 2012 reply

that's what I came away with too.

verloc - January 15, 2012 reply

i cant enjoy that victory at all

That cage grab was ridiculous and fight changing. Yamasaku doesn’t do anything about that but ruins the Erick Silva fight

troyd - January 15, 2012 via mobile reply

Yama fucked a few people tonight

fight changing?

fOR REAL?

yes, for real.

Maybe it ends the same, but that is some blatant bullshit. And should be penalized accordingly

troyd - January 15, 2012 via mobile reply

he got warned

and if I’m not mistaken Mendes got him down straight after it anyway but couldnt keep him down. You honestly think Aldo doesnt stand up and blitz him anyway?

It will be the Fedor/Lindland arguement

The fight changes if the grab doesn’t happen. It doesn’t matter if we all think the result would be the same.

okay I can get on board with that. Mendes takes him down there. Holds him down for a while, then Aldo knees him in the face while Mendes shoots for a TD

Maybe he holds him down for the rest of the round and they are still fighting

Maybe

Its a distinct possibilty. I guess we’ll never know

It really was

the camera angle wasn’t great, it wasn’t absolutely clear whether he was holding on

He was holding for sure.

are you for real?

that was as blatent

serious, can you see someone’s fingers when their gloved hand is in the way?

from my view it looked like the cage flexed when he was pulled

regardless of that, i dont see how he stays up without grabbing the fence.

pushed off it perhaps, from the amount he rotated when he was off his feet it’s possible. I am saying that it just wasn’t definitive however

he warned him? he didn't do it again? what do you expect?

i thought it was borderline point deduction worthy

That didn't end the fight

and he was warned and threatened to take a point away.

It’s not like he’s going to call a DQ because someone grabbed the fence once.

av1o3 - January 15, 2012 reply

Why not? He broke the rules that you guys hold in such high regard.

Or is that only when Rogan calls it out?

exactly

If Tito had done that shit, there were calls for catstration and firing, but its Aldo so its cool….

troyd - January 15, 2012 via mobile reply

This has happened

When guys grab the cage, they are warned. What’s with all the butthurt? It didn’t affect the outcome at all!

GreyedOut - January 15, 2012 reply

Bullshit it stopped a takedown that could have chnaged the outcome

Tito did do that shit

he got his point taken away and that lead to the draw. Tito did it multiple times though.

av1o3 - January 15, 2012 reply

gotta say that knee was awesome and worthy of the Judo Chop cause it was setup and timed prefect from separating Chad’s hands, the turn, attempt to grab his head (which caused Chad to further duck into the knee ironically) and throwing the kneed in perfect timing.

squaresphere - January 15, 2012 reply

that knee was fucking amazing

Aldo brought back the fight ending nastiness for sure

troyd - January 15, 2012 via mobile reply

WAR WILLEM DAFOE

hahahaha WIN

*WAR WILLEM DAFOE LEE ROTH

willem dafoe with denis leary's voice

More Sam Kinison, maybe

So Funch takes home the Luiz Cane Memorial Token Brazilian to Lose in Brazil Award?

Eh, he didn't jump into the cage, at least.

Just kind of fell into it

was he the only one? Apart from Silva?

Prater is Brazilian.

and he “won”

Gonzo using Jitz is SCAREY

i'm rewatching also's celebration

love the spontaneity

So awesome

runs to his corner, then he’s like “fuck that!” and bolts in the opposite direction

Cunny - January 15, 2012 reply

congrats hardysinyourface for finishing top of the camp. Steevab and dribble round out the top 3

67 pts to finish tonight

SSreporters - January 15, 2012 reply

Good job man

My 34 might ruin our team

Sweet

Finally a highlight reel for Aldo in UFC

That TDD is awesome, good job Brazil!

elmojo - January 15, 2012 reply

Rewind and watch what aldo does instead of celebrating

He looks around the cage like a hunting dog looking for game as he looks for an opening to run outside the cage

AfroSamurai - January 15, 2012 reply

Why are they airing the Tavares/Stout fight?

It was not a very good fight

Mjub - January 15, 2012 reply

At least they are showing it

But I agree. It was rather lackluster. Hopefully they both get a little extra sponsership funds.

Have there been 2 ufc events in a row where the reffing was so dodgy? even worse than last time in terms of standing fighters up early

personally i just think Yamasaki is way overrated

from tonight, all the way back to Gil Milendez vs Aoki when he called the BS time when Gil nailed a crab walking Aoki. We all make mistakes and everyone is human for sure, but some have put him on a pedestal when I personally think he doesn’t belong (when considering best referee)

TheBirdsDen - January 15, 2012 reply

props to hardysinyourface

Lead the fight camp, steveeaD was second and Dribblebib was third. Hardy got 9/10 fights right
