Just two things: Feijao > King Mo, and War Brazil. You guys have a good night.

How dare you.
Jose Aldo went full Diamond Dallas Page after the KO

no “WE ARE LIVE” post?

We're live

Maybe.

In caps please.
ALL HAIL THE RETURN OF THE ALDO RAPTOR

He was sorely missed, so glad to have him back.

Also was this the most 1st round finishes on a UFC Card.

What is it about Brazil cards that make them so violent?

Is Mendes on his way back to the under card and is Cherry Crumble Johnson out of a job?

WE AREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LIVE!
Bishop's on delay
yeaaaa on the air

YES! Order it.

Order a Whopper

and confuse the fuck out of them
c'mon son
I'm still excited about Aldo

I’m not thinking clearly

I've seen it happen before

“Cheeseburger, plain”
“Plain?”
“Just meat’n’cheese”

I don't think that we learn tonight that to beat aldo u need to be a great striker and a great wrestler.

and have telekinesis

That's it?

Super size it you lightweight

a double plain?No cheese?

Oh yeah

http://twitpic.com/87gd7e

This is how you take a soul Forrest

he kneed Mendes in the face before Chad had realized his hold was broken
So the obvious question...he goes up to 155lbs now right?
He stays at 145 for now

He looks terrific tonight and there are still potential challengers down the line (not that I think they’d stand a chance)

what about a superfight against Frankie Edgar?

dan miragliotta reffing in the BElfort Johnson fight sucked what was with those stand ups
if you stall you get stood up

wheres the problem?

Those standups were too quick

But It’s hard for me to feel bad for Grumble

those stand ups were way to quick for them to do anything

stand ups in MMA are BS anyways why should the guy on bottom be rewarded for not being able to sweep or stand back up

If all weights were equal

Rumble would be the champ

Not with that Mahem-Miller style striking.
A question for Forrest

Is Rumble eating cheesburgers at that establishment?

Arent there any 145ers that train with King Mo? I think they’d have a decent chance

aldo division is too shallow, time to move up!
why?

run roughshod over your division and make good money and get famous or move up to a far far better division and lose?

Diego Brandao

Just an FYI for you

My picks tonight were… poor

Dunno how the rest of my team did

But when y’all do the calculations, might be a little low.

Who is this downer on the radio?

hahahahahhahaha

Forrest

I mean would a superfight against Edgar really hurt anyone. That would sell massively

I’d buy it for a buck

It’s going to take a while until the 145 and 135 divisions flourish. The competition is no more than 2 guys at any given time. Not much depth for the champs to contend against.

Wait but didn't Aldo himself say himself that he'd think about going up in weight after this fight?

Joe mentioned how Aldo had actually lost some weight since the Hominick and Florian fights.

When I think of who is out there at 145, all I see are more headstones.
Let Cyborg cut her suspension in half...

if she fights Aldo.

Former LHW/HW champion.

Current Rumbleweight/Franklineweight champion… Belfort is the most decorated fighter in UFC history.

Did Rumble headbutt Vitor?

where does Aldo rank P4P right now?

If Jon Jones was the same size as Aldo/Silva would he beat them in a fight?

If my grandma had wheels

She’d be a bicycle

... and I'd ride it all day long.
good point

dont get why everyone hates on P4P rankings,

They generate unnecesary discussion

unnecessary but not its not like its hurting anyone to disucss.

Ross pearson vs aldo might be a decent fight down the line, power and constant pressure getting past the leg kicks?

he just lost to the 155lb Aldo in Barboza

veeeery close fight, and a weight division up

Is there a reason the UFC doesn’t put Aldo on a Fox fight?

His fights are almost always great and it isn’t like they would lose much PPV money

People don't really care about the lighter-weights
people like Manny and Floyd they are roughly the same size

the UFC needs to sell these guys

what are pound for pound rankings anyways?

Who arrrre these people???

They've had one FOX fight

Jones faced the best competition? Machida is great but Rampage and Shogun are both over the hill.. I do agree he is the best though.

Get out of here with that bullshit!
that Shogun and Rampage are over the hill that is

when’s the Atlanta fight?

April 24, I think.

Rumble is probably crying into his Big Mac right now.

How awful did Anthony Johnson look? Give him a fight with Palhares and then cut AJ immediately

Maybe realised gassing early explains how rushed and sloppy he looked, very eager to end fight?

fuck it. cut him now. He’s had more than enough chances

Agreed, I just think Palhares tearing off his leg would be a nice exit

it would. But dont pay him for it. And make him weigh 185 30 seconds before he steps into the cage

You mean, BJJ black belt Vitor Belfort.

It’s not his first time that he missed weight. That’s the problem

Forrest a contrarian??!?!

Never

AJ cannot even defend a choke from a white belt, xD
Rumble should be cut!

Anthony Johnson kinda pulled a Sokoudju.

He came out and tossed Vitor to the ground like a monster

Reigning Rumbleweight/Franklinweight champion.

Belfort looks best in arbitrary weight classes.

At least Randleman had decent wrestling

I can sum up AJ like this

Right hand, LHK and being big. He has nothing else to offer.

Fast food prowess.
Johnson has no ground game and worst of all, he isn't reliable.

I remember when Koscheck hit him, he had that deer in the headlights look. He looked shook up by Kos’ right hand

I know we are going down the card

fight by fight but I need to here the talk about the Silva DQ. Seriously!

And Etim doing the Bisping face
That was sick

rubbish. early stoppage!

Absolutely
He was using iron statue defense.

It’s next level shit.

does anyone think the not standing em up would have changed anything?

He’ll come to your house Forrest. Lock your fridge

So, how will Anthony do as a 205lber in Strikeforce?

He'll come in weighing 235
Then get murdered by King Mo
Moneyweight vs Rumbleweight.
he'll be arlight,xD

I agree with Brian. The first was the right call IMO but the second was silly

the 2nd stand up where he just broke the wrist control was a little shady

and its not like Anthony Johnson’s G&P did nothing, you saw Vitors face from the first round

Big Dan was as pissed as the rest of us with Johnson

He cut him no slack and he deserved none

Is it just me..

or does anyone else think Forest is a complete idiot. He answers most questions with a profound “Uhh I donno”, and when he does comment its always negative and his opinion is always stupid. How the heck did this guy get on the show?

A series of blowjobs.

If AJ had of made weight, then came in around 210/220 would it have made any difference?

wouldn't have gassed so quick?

yeah dropping weight, then bloating up then having to drop on the day of the fight must have hurt

Superfight with Lombard

Non title fight

Of couse if would not be for a title

That’s how they roll

Is Tachi palace still around?

I hear fedor needs an opponent

they’d weigh in around the same

quiet your whore mouth

Vitor is a BOSS

Belcher is the man

Please slow that shit down

You really don’t think Belfort could beat Shogun? Or Bader?

Bader yes

Shogun no

If you remove Belfort's personal tragedy years...

his career is way better than you think.

Brian

Matt: Where does Jose Aldo rank P4P?
Forrest: Uh.. I dunno

he said #3 potentially number 2
You just hear what you want to hear.

after pausing and then saying i dunno

So who do they match Vitor up against next?

Rousimar

oh shit I forgot about Wanderlei
wandy vs vitor is so competitive!

Vitor is gonna “surprise” Wanderlei

You got to be kidding me?

Tito? Like that is so better than W. Silva? Unreal.

How can the UFC even do that to Wanderlei. Dude. That’s borderline criminal

Belfort is totally different

since adding Ray Sefo and adding Karate and wrestling at XC. he is going to pummel wandy

Vitor vs Silva may result in the first death in the UFC.

It’s not as bad as the road to a WW title shot Dan Hardy had

That Wanderlei fight is a such a shitty sham of a fight
Well the odds of Rumble winning

werent exacty “protecting” again WTF?

Vitor-Palhares

BOOK IT

oh that's right

the Wanderlei fight. Fuck. What an awful idea.

protecting Vitor?

He got threw in with Anderson without winning a fight at MW in the UFC

Who's Okami fighting?
Something called relevancy.
Before Rumble missed weight

He was the favorite. Educate yourselves

They were even the last time I checked.

They were even after the weigh ins

Even when we did our preview show Thursday.

Quiet you.

We’re forming a new narrative here.

Going from -120 to +120

Not exactly like it swung THAT much.

That's a decent swing

i’ve got it- Overeem vs Belfort III after wanderlei

Vitor Belfort vs. MW James Irvin

Is Irvin even alive?
Ok then

Scott Smith

But they could beat Vitor…

Chuck Liddell come out of retirement to take on Vitor

Silva will stay hurt for an extended period of time

After Sonnen beats Munoz, Vitor and Sonnen will fight for the crack at the belt. The divison doesn’t suck that bad. Who you got?

get ready for a Forrest rant

Same problem with HW.

Brian Stann is the B level of MW

so is Chris Leben and Bisping

not if he beats maia

Bisping is good and hes underrated but he gets killed by any A level fighter

what is an A-level fighter? Good enough all round to at least get a title shot, especially when to get there he’s fighting against a strike-happy maia

just because he might get a shot doesn’t mean hes A level. A level fighters in UFC MW division is like… Anderson, Sonnen and Okami

bisping hasn’t fought any of those guys those, and just watching his fights you get the feeling from the way he fails to settle in early his biggest problems are mental ones, reputation for being better in the gym than in a fight. not saying he’d beat silva, but he’s gotta have a chance 1st

These noices are what happens when you respond to a Joben post
Brian will soon be getting faxes on his line
rousimar "the knee destructor"

Rousimar leglock is as predictable as a Hogan legdrog

Legdrop*
I love it when he Hulks up.

turns on the Luke Thomas signal

The key to beating Palhares, don’t have legs

Kyle Maynard is the answer

What do they do with Palhares? They can’t give him a contention fight, the guy might win and then they have to let him fight for the belt.

Imagine the Hulk holding the belt

Zany hijinks will ensue if Palhares wins the belt.

Zany hijinks will ensue as long as Palhares is breathing.
Mike Massenzio got choke out by brian stann, that said a lot.

everyone knows Dan Henderson is gonna win by right hand KO but doesnt stop people losing to i. Palhares is just good

oh god

I just agreed with Forrest

No soap can remove that stain.

I’m gonna give this bleach a try

The only way

it’ll work is if you’re drinking it.

lol

I’ll give it a shot and let you knpweiof axjsfvxxxxxxxxxxxx

I feel this is a Crying Game situation or you.

Better than a Shamrock ankle-lock!!

There's nothing better than that.

How dare!

I do declare!

I’m gettin’ the vapors.

Giving Palhares the belt

would be like giving the belt to lenny from of mice and men. Could you imagine that post fight interview?

“I just wanna work on the farm and feed the rabbits”

Palhares has really grown on me.

That would be heart-warming. Hugs all around!

Ripped off legs all around.
Only if you refuse to hug him.
PAUL HARRIS HUG YOU NOW!!

I’ll give a quick fist bump… and then run screaming.

Hug Paul Harris and let’s see if you’ll come out of it with all limbs

I wouldn’t wanna hug Palhares. At all

Palhares vs. Bisping Maia winner

and I'll always consider the way that Marquardt fight finished, sketchy
If he hadn't lost to Marquardt people would have been talkin about him
Marquart vs Rumble

In BAMMA

except that Marquardt split with BAMMA yesterday

The first breakup never takes.
In ROC
which is my local org
Paul Harris vs Maia

Palhares lifts Maia and slams him the fu*k down

Finally,

we’ll get a grappling FOTN

Like Diaz VS Sanchez

His first regular fight was against Salaverry

hector is way overrated, XD

I’m not listening. Has Forrest brought up Rockhold yet?

LOL

No, he didn’t.

I’m surprised. Okay, before I leave, Belfort would eat Rockhold alive. Laters. :)

YOU WERE RACIST!!!
I was totally kidding.

I got your back on this one

Thanks, man
Never trust a man that has your back.

He’ll just submit you in the end.

I learned that in those women’s lib classes I was forced to take.

take your mind

out of the gutter

I come from a long line of sewer people...

The only way I can keep my sanity is aspiring to the gutter at all times.

great fight card eh?

apologies, uncalled for

you not enjoy this card?

I guess it just worked out there were a load of mismatches in the end, not too many had intrigue in them. matchmaking not to blame for all, but I just get the feeling I would have liked a few to have gone the full distance and be competitive

there were a few close fights on the undercard but the main card was one sided and a bit unfufilling. Its weird that the KOTN and SOTN were so obvious on this card but FOTN was kinda hard to call

yeah for KO and Submission, but FOTN, etim vs barboza was just too uncompetitive. Stout vs Tavares? Or is there some rule they can’t give it to undercard fights

Paul Harris leglock. Belfort submission. Wheelkick finish.

Aldo being Aldo. Come on now.

exciting finishes

but lacked that Shogun/Hendo Edgar/Maynard war type fight

haven’t you heard chael sonnen? a win’s a win doesn’t matter if it comes by disqualification due to illegal blow when your getting pounded

Wait.. Forrest is ranting about the "I'm so smart' guys.

Go get ’em slugger.

Forrest

What did you make of Joe calling out the ref?

Does Mario Yamasaki flash a heart sign before every fight or is that an M and a Y
I agree with Forrest again.

WTF

Let's get to Rogan calling out Yamasaki!
I can't hear anything anymore

Did my shitty call get through?

Try refreshing.

It's just buffering

I ruin everything

You made my browser crash too!

If it was a call to arms...

I heard you loud and clear and shot my neighbors. Viva Joben!

kinda like how Aldo did?

Englishface!
Wow. The replay now on that is ridicuous.

Thank heavens Etim is somewhat likeable. His face won’t be getting the photoshop treatment

Courtesy of THE ROTH:

I could watch this all day.
Best thing on the internet in awhile

That’s apparently the most talented fighter we have over here in UK by the way. Depressed.

Brad Pickett/Bisping are the UK’s most talented fighters

You’re not massively inspiring me. Lost last fight and apparently pillow fists (he’ll still get the title shot though!)

we are not in a good way. Like at all

Etim is Liverpool no?

A scouser

Etim from liverpool, its scouse mate!

Like the Beatles!!

very impressed with Barbosa’s ground game. His sweeps were excellent

Barbosa Guida? He needs to fight a wrestler

He will get wrestlefornicated

its gonna happen at some stage though. Better to get it out of the way now

It was a meh fight.

What was ednaldo’s speciality supposed to be before this fight? nothing seemed to happen

Eat a banana with gabe Gonzaga

Ednaldo vs. Perosh

LOL

Leland Roling: Oliveira would have ranked at #1 on the 2012 World MMA Scouting Report. He is bar none the best heavyweight prospect in the talent pool, and Gabriel Gonzaga’s chin can’t withstand his attack on the feet. Edinaldo Oliveira via TKO.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

talking bout the pool in my backyard?

WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE HW DIVIOSN?

I'll take it from here

It’s hot garbage, it’s terrible

that heavyweights SUCK

seriously its like the top 5 and than a crap shoot

Even the top 5 is a crap shoot

Old man physique, like sotiroupolous

Like Daniel Tosh

According to buffer

YURI MARIJUANA ALCANTARA

Yuri Alcantara celebrated rather impressively after the 1st round. Good cardio to keep going for the 2nd rd after a possible adrenaline dump

Disappointed with Alcantara’s finishing instincts. Got Omigawa rocked then… clinched?

UFC moves never go past number 8

saw this on twitter

this came up on the weigh in thread

Sarah Kaufman?

...

Pyle beat Almedia

that was one of the ugliest fights ever
thats precisely what it was

you mean jones fight davis

good job as usual Brian and Matt

BUH BYE

Thanks everybody for listening!

BUH BYE!

It's not just you Forrest sounds like

Ummm Beavis and Butthead. And unless he’s talking about King Mo everybodys garbage

Sometimes, I get to feeling like a pretty negative and cynical person...

…and then I listen to Forrest and feel like much the opposite. Really dude, buck up.
