UFC on FOX 2 Poster by Anton Tabuena

As with every major show, Bloody Elbow will be here to bring you live results, play by play and commentary for UFC on Fox 2. Our live coverage will start with the Fuel TV prelim broadcast (5 p.m. ET) and through the Fox main card broadcast (8 p.m. ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.

This post will cover live results and thoughts for the main card on Fox.

Three fights make up the UFC's second effort on its network home with the main event seeing light heavyweight contenders Rashad Evans and Phil Davis facing off in a five round fight. Two of the biggest trash talkers in the sport meet in the co-main event when Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping meet for a shot at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. In the opening bout on the broadcast it will be former title contender Demian Maia meeting top prospect Chris Weidman.

Make sure to come back during the event and share your thoughts as the event goes down.

The Fox broadcast is live.

Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman - Round 1 - Maia misses with an overhand left and comes up short with a second one. Front kick to the face missed by Weidman. Maia is ducking and throwing the left hand counter but neither guy landing too solid. Knee lands for Maia. They're still kind of feeling things out through two minutes of the fight with neither guy really doing a lot of damage. Left hand by Maia. Weidman gets a nice punch in of his own now. Body kick by Weidman is blocked. They trade leg kicks. Left hand gets in for Maia. Weidman gets a takedown. Maia quickly stands up and lands some punches before slipping. Weidman hits him with a punch on the way up. They're clinched up now. Right hand by Weidman. 10-9 Weidman on my card, but close.

Round 2 - Weidman gets a takedown and is in side control but Maia manages to stand right up. Left hand by Maia. Weidman is looking better and better in the stand-up here. This is not a very exciting fight and the crowd is booing the (lack of) action. Now they trade leg kicks and go back to walking forward. Maia now picking it up and starting to work jabs, left hands and knees. Weidman with a takedown. 10-9 Weidman.

Round 3 - Weidman seemed like he was going for the takedown early but now they're striking again. Weidman gets the takedown. Maia holds the body and stands up. Uppercut by Maia. Maia with a horrible takedown attempt. Maia looks embarrassingly bad. Both men are tired, at least Weidman has an excuse. Weidman ands three knees in the clinch. 10-9 Weidman.

Official scorecards: 29-28 Weidman, 29-28 Maia, 29-28 Weidman. Chris Weidman wins by split decision. (Update: Dana White corrected on twitter and said Weidman won on all three cards)

Michael Bisping vs. Chael Sonnen - Round 1 - Bisping with a right hand and Chael with a quick takedown and lands a few punches before Bisping stands up. Bisping with a hard right hand. Sonnen pushes him into the fence. Bisping scoots out to distance but Chael puts him back on the cage and takes him down. Bisping tries to wall walk but Chael holding the foot. Bisping stands up but took a few shots there. They trade knees to the body and Bisping drops for his own takedown but can't get it and Chael pushes him back into the cage. Bisping separates and lands a right hand. Knee to the body by Bisping and he lands a left and misses a wheel kick. Bisping pushing Chael into the cage now. Bisping with some hard shots. Bisping still landing. I'd actually score that 10-9 Bisping for landing the most damaging shots.

Round 2 - Chael pushes Bisping into the cage and Bisping turns him. Bisping holding him against the cage and they trade short punches. They're restarted at distance for lack of action. Righ hand by Sonnen. Bisping with two right hands. Sonnen with a double leg. Sonnen with a nice flurry and Bisping manages to stand again. Left hand by Bisping. Knee to the body by Bisping. Bisping pushing him into the cage now. Bisping looking for a takedown and Sonnen can not get his back of the cage. Knee to the body by Bisping and a big uppercut. 10-9 Bisping again, I just think he's doing more to claim the rounds.

Round 3 - Left hand by Sonnen and now a double leg. Bisping already working to stand up. Bisping looking or a leg lock but gets hit with a punch. Bisping tries to stand but gives up his back. Sonnen has the hooks in. Sonnen spins around into full mount. Sonnen still in mount and trying to find space. Bisping gets out to half guard. Bisping back to full guard. Bisping manages to stand up. Bisping gets his own takedown and lands a few elbows as the round ends. 10-9 Sonnen makes it 29-28 Bisping on my card. But my card doesn't matter. What do the judges have?

Official Scorecards: 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28. Chael Sonnen wins by unanimous decision.

Davis misses the takedown and they grapple briefly. Evans catches a kick and gets a big trip takedown. Rashad on top in Davis' half guard. Rashad passes to side control.

watch me make a fool of myself

RUSSOW
WEIDMAN
CHÆL
EVANS (even though I would be down for Phil)

You picked four favorites, so even if you’re wrong, you’ll have plenty of company. Not exactly going out on a limb there…

How would that parlay have paid?

anyone??

11 points so far… Damn this event.
I hope I don;’t fuck up the main card

Anyone else watching the Skills Competition til fight time?

Yep

Atta boy.

FYI, Carl Hagelin won fastest skater. BUT Letang was only two seconds behind and he did half of his backwards.

When speed skating is in your sport’s skill competition, I refuse to take it seriously.

Horrid logic.

Takes more “skill” to ice skate fast than any other skill in any other skills competition.

3-point competition was full of talent when the NBA actually used its best players.

Anybody can hit a three-pointer.

Not everybody can skate and well.

Anybody over 7 foot tall can dunk but that doesn’t mean their NBA-level.

/moretwistedlogic

There’s several orders of magnitude more people who can hit three pointers than seven-footers. You didn’t exactly refute his logic there.

I don’t see what your problem with speed skating is. Going 30+ mph on your own two feet is pretty fucking awesome, and if you could skate, you’d know what kind of a rush it is.

I'm just trying to piss BV off because he basically said I look 12-years old yesterday.
There will be a time where you take this as a compliment. be glad it isn't here yet.
There will be a time where you take this as a compliment. be glad it isn't here yet.

Who was the fattest goalie? I missed that competition.

Tim Thomas. Easily.

Three decisions and I might have not disgraced my team.

27 for me so far, i think already higher than my entire last card performance

WARNING: Graphic

Damn.

Dunham tore a vagina through Lentz’s face.

That’s the most damage I’ve ever seen Dunham inflict.

Doesn't look that horrid.

But who knows how bad it really is.

Who is Air Rye El Her Whiney, Jay Glazer?

Kinda suits actually.

The UFC Undisputed account is giving away prizes based on predictions on twitter FYI

I have had my serving of humiliation so far. I don’t need any more.

ATT EVERYBODY

NO IT’S SHOWTIME SPOILERS AND NO GIFS, S’IL VOUS PLAIT!

BADR HARI RETIRES
NO. NO GOD DAMN IT NO.

<3.

There was a lot of kicking and a lot of boxing.

Urijah Faber looks so normal with a buzzcut.

He also makes Helwani look like a giant

Still can’t stop staring at his butt.

really brings out his bum chin

His sister looked smokin with her buzzcut.

Michelle Beadle is cageside…

Why hello there.

Got a crush on that chick.

Which is she?

Blonde on the left

Insert Obama Not Bad meme here.

surprisingly not feeling her
Seriously?

Maybe I just like her because I hate Colin Cowherd so much he makes her look good.

yeah clearly I'd tap her

but something about her face:hair ratio is off

Weird face/hair ratio.

2/10, would not bang.

no idea who that is :(

ESPN anchor.

Hosts Sportsnation with Colin Cowherd.

what an unfortunate alliteration. draws unneeded attention to the quite hick last name.
what an unfortunate alliteration. draws unneeded attention to the quite hick last name.
Dude's popular as hell in the sports world though, mainly for having a Snowdenesque opinion.

ESPN broadcaster…allegedly hooked up with Clay Matthews, or so says deadspin.

She's not important enough to know, it's k
Chael took a very long nap - thanks Ariel
Which means he's nervous.

Obviously.
?

Michael Bisping is in a suit.

ok?

Got a sinking feeling

Sonnen might get caught with an intercept knee on a double knee. Hope not though.

Double knee? You know, that would actually be awesome if someone pulled it off.

Double leg

Not a good sign, haven’t even started drinking properly yet. Agreed though.

Will the tale of the tape feature a wing reach advantage for Davis?

Patrick Kane with the superman dive goal with the Superman cape and Clark Kent glasses.

Now he’s gonna go get shitfaced and punch somebody who doesn’t deserve it.

Also

Davis’ physique would look unrealistic in a comic book.

27 through the undercard

I think that’s decent???

I have 15, so yes.

thats what i got too

Steve Martin: “I’m a someboddy!!!”

Nailed Lavar and Aloe vera and 5 for Dunham

Fucking Baba O’Riley! Love it.

Best trick shot goals:

1. Kane
2. Couterier
3. Perry

I promose this’ll stop once the fights start.

im unhappy so far

Someone should tell Kane Dwight Howard wants his Superman cape shtick back.

Carey Price wins

with that back turned save. Lame ass shooters

What kind of trick shot goals are there? Genuine question.

Picks

Playground picks
Evans
Sonnen
Maia

What I want
Davis
Sonnen
Weidman

Although I love Bishop

Remember that Drunk-ass Roth is hosting BE radio

fuck yes

Eh, Forrest Lynn will be there. That is a pass for me. We need to campaign to get yours truly on the show.

Call in?

No. I want to be on the mic!

Forrest has grown on me. His complete and utter distain (sp?) for being there makes me laugh now. You should do pbp for the radio show

Eh, I just dislike his closed minded views sometimes.

yeah hes out there. Like right out there

Luke Rockhold > Anderson Silva
Mo Lawal > Jon Jones
Mike Kyle > Junior dos Santos

These are all facts.

Mo no.1 P4P undisputed. Forrest has seen him in training so he should know

26 through the undercard please god let maia beat weidman by U.D.
Is there a BE drinking game for live events?

If not one should be made immediately

Drink everytime there is a commercial
Every tme Rogan says it's deep take a drink, take another when the fighter inevitably gets out
drink everytime:

-Rogan says, “IT’S DEEEEEEEP!”
-homo-erotic double entendre MMA terminology is used
-everytime Goldie fucks with English syntax

Fuck, do you guys want to kill us all?

O.O

also everytime a fighter's name gets butchered
Drink

Every commerical, every stoppage, every stand up, every decision, twice for split decision, everytime the crowd boos, everytime the ref says no grabbing the fence or watch the back of the head, everytime the mouthpiece gets knocked out. Everytime joe says world class and every time goldberg says to watch for (insert move here)

My version

would obviously be sip your beer or mixed bev, if it was shots youd be puking before the main card every night

You should make fanpost on this.
haha maybe

My first fanpost would be the UFC Drinking Game :)

Don’t forget to add Rogan saying ‘Ohhhhhhh’ everytime someone gets hit hard or put out.

everytime someone says lets mutherfukers, everytime someone posts a gif in the live thread then for every comment that gif gets, everytime someone posts a ‘fuccck’ straight after a KO, sink when BVANDDP asks what everyone is drinking

Every time Goldberg uses the terms explosive, dynamic and/or athletic when referring to a black fighter, take a shot.
21 points. Fuck me!

I am eating so much crow right now. There’s only one thing that can take this kind of sting away.

Carey Price wins. He fucking wins.
Love seeing the UFC starting to this music
HA! The following live sporting event might be the most exciting ever so we have to say

“Viewer discretion advised”.

Great stuff.

Yes, that was fantastic.

right! lol like i was like hold on i know im drinking and smoking but did i really just see that crazy why is our sport the only one that gets that

They painted the mat, for those wondering. They were having trouble and had to use a heat gun to dry it.

What's up guys?!

I love this new professional looking setup. I feel like I’m seeing my child grow up or something.

It's TIME

To start drinking in earnest.

oh ive been drinking you better catch up

Challenge accepted.

Crocodile Dundee: “That’s not how you drink, THIS is how you drink.”

Micheal Clarke doing the intro lol

Another Chicago native, wonder if they got him for the occasion.

I am so pumped to see Chael crap on England

I hate Chael, but he's been funnier recently and I hate Bisping far, far more.
I'm rooting for Bisping

I must not have been around here in a while. Earl? Really?

Curt Menefee is a safe pair of hands and also totally boring
Oh, this is good promotion here
So effing cool.
F'N robots man, robots

And I thought gladiators looked immature…

MCD!

They went from gladiators to robots? ew.

omg lets go football fox music :)

I like the intro package!
Here we go!

What’s everyone snacking and sipping, boyyysssss??

Myself, working on some Stir Fry and, of course, Black Velvet and Diet Pepsi.

Budweiser

And crunchy chilli-flavoured crisp…things.

Goose Island Winter Ale

On my 6th double whisky
Atta BOY.

What’s your brown liquor of choice?

Started with a 24yo Lagavulin

Thankfully switched to a Glenmorangie after the first glass, the Vulin is brutal.

Ahhh...a scotch man.
FUCK YO COUCH CLETUS
already a Derrick Rose reference=

fucking awesome

derrick deserves it dont you hate me

i meant it in a good way sir
Even though basketball is everywhere,

I mark the fuck out whenever something NBA related gets a namedrop.

I think we've arrived.
It's a three fight tripleheader

Which explains why it’s….a tripleheader.

Love the couture highlights

awesome

Jones hate in 3...2...1

Randy would whoop Jones

Jones.. this should be interesting. Will he be humble.

Whoo it’s Randy and his unchanging smile.

Bones is there

It’s about to get phony up in here

Did Randy just call Curt, "Chris"?
he has been watching a lot of older Jericho promos
the Alzheimer is kicking in already
He bleached his brain along with his teeth

Jon “Jonny” “Bones” Jones?

Jon "Jonny" "Jonathan" "Bones" Jones.

Use all of ’em.

Couture is old enough to be Bones's dad
Knowing Randy and his background

Bones Sr. Might need to order up a DNA test.

Im late but

What an intro

tall dark and handsome omg lol i hope they keep randy and jones or atleast randy

OH shit….Jon Jones on commentary? Awesomesauce.

btw . . . pretty sure Jones walks through Rashad when they do fight
No, because Rashad will run around the cage like Starnes.

So he’ll have to hunt him down — choke out in the 3rd.

Rashad may or may not win tonight

But Hendo is fighting Jones in Atlanta

Jones is just chillin' on set
And reading his notes like crazy
Right?

What an asshole.

Cocky fucker with all that reading and shit

So who got Davis?

i actually wouldnt be surprised i mean i got rashad im just saying it would be crazy

Is Jones reading off his notes?

Was about to say that

get the dude a prompter or somethin

yes

So that he could say ‘any opportunity is a great opportunity’

Jones looking pretty natural for first time on national television.
he is relaxin all cool
Keeps checking his notes

which were probably written by Greg Jackson

Get some fans Jon!

jon. jon. jon. JON JONES

GET SOME FANS

Wow this is so professional

It’s ridiculous. at least Dana won’t be on to bury both main eventers …

They're nervous, and talking a little fast

But I like Jones reading his notes and Randy just chilling better than that ridiculous yelling

Why wouldn't Cain just takedown JDS,

it’s as easy as it sounds right?

in a couple decades we'll have our equivalent of Kenny Smith, Barkley and EJ
Menefee: Jones never fought Shogun at UFC 119
give him a bit of a break

he’s trying . . .

i knew i wasnt crazy when i heard him say that
Menefee looks like he'd rather be in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl
Davis kind of reminds me of Matt Hughes

tremendous wrestling combined with submission finishing ability once it hits the ground

His build is nearly identical to GSP though
complete with kinda crappy striking.

all we need is a picture of Davis and Rashad riding on a motorcycle together

The production values. My eyes! I can see!
fuck awesome choice in music too

What’s their source for these rankings?

Dana White

The UFC never kept rankings before. At least not publicly.

Not the UFC

Dana White, I’m sure he had a hand in what they ended up showing on tv

anyone see what they were? would like to compare them to other rankings out there.

I think Sonnen was 2, Bisping 3, Munoz 4, maybe Maia 5?

Okami was in the top 5
He won't be...

REDNECK JUDO!

I just love seeing the Fox Sports microphones
Finnaly :D

Phalharres is top 10 at number 9

Palhares is a threat to anyone
Unless they have no legs.
Kyle Maynard's retired.
GRRRRRR

i had to look up his name so i could make this joke, you beat me to it.

And the Mauler is at #8 !

Jones sounds nervous

Millions of people watching.
I agree
jones probably shouldnt look at his notes as much, at least me more natural about it.

i’m not hating though.

Bones is reading the shit out of his script
At least he's reading the script unlike Menefee
Hes so fake he needs people to tell him what to say

lolss

He's frightened.

No time to fake it.

Jones will get more comfortable after doing this a few times.

Reading his notes

PHONY HE’S A BIG FAT PHONY!!!

jones keeps reading the notes lol hes so nervous but so far so good
It could be Ken-Flo or Randy up there
AND Randy, i mean
Jones can't sit still in that rolling chair

lulz

Curt Menafee might not be Mr. MMA Knowledge, but he’s such a damn good lead guy that it makes up the difference.

he does a great job coaching and coaxing Randy and Bones

Hes a perfect casual announcer. He seems to have done his homework

Rashad is 100x better at talking on set than Jones

Someone pointed it out.

He seems so socially awkward.

I mean, in some ways he's still just a kid

And a much better dresser.

Jones is a blipster.

swagger jacker
rashad also has WAY more experience and has never been on this big of a stage doing it.
He had to look at his notes

when discussing his own experience in the ufc.

SO FAKE

Dana promised less talking and more fighting.

Let’s see if he’ll keep his promise. If he’s smart he’ll show the Aloe Vera and Dunham fights.

More than a minute and a half of fighting shouldn’t be hard to accomplish.

Challenge accepted, internet
Not really much choice
i dont think they would show the dunham fight

that cut was pretty bad

It's part of the sport.

If some people can’t handle it, it’s their problem. This sport’s just not for them.

ofcourse it is part of the sport, but you have to ease into it

alot of potential fans will get turned off by that

Condit/Diaz promo on ESPN (UK)

Sucks.

UFC is saying Jones will fight on 4/21 in Atlanta.
Yeah he is fighting Hendo
Unless Evans wins and is unhurt.

Even so, they’ll find a reason.

What are the chances of that?

Dude is always hurt

Even if Rashad wins this thing?
4/21 the day after

Good underrated album

Ya'll are commenting too much. No way I can read all this shit and watch the fights.
how about commercials?
Commercial expect it to speed up.... lol

The board explodes inbetween rounds

The board will slow down during the fights
Jones seems fairly natural
If by "natural" you mean ARROGANT

He swaggin Randys jagger

i dont know who that cyrt guy is but i like him waaaay more than glazer already
NFL on FOX analyst.
Did great for the first FOX event too.
Well shit. USA.gov backend got hacked.
WOW.

That is not good news… you know that the chinese military has an entire “cyber” division? As in, they have an Army, a Navy, Marines, an Airforce- and a CYBER ARMY.

I've been watching fights for 5 straight hours now.

Saturday… I DUB THE FIGHTERDAY

I’ve been watching for.. 8 hours. I AM TEH WINNER!

Wait eight hours? Ah yeah we started at 6pm.

Yeah, it did, didn’t it? Six or seven my time. I think it was six PM anyway, and now it’s 02:17 AM (in fstupid american timestuff)

Although I did just go out to buy smokes during the Dunham – Lentz fight.

I thought you were a snus guy

Well yeah, I am. Although any time I drink I get an unstoppable urge for fags! So I just took my bike to the 24/7 deli and got some Lucky Strikes. Snus is my daily habit though.

Although any time I drink I get an unstoppable urge for fags

I like it.

Yeah, a promising statement for our inevitable inter-national meeting.

I just missed the second IS fight going for a smoke.

Anyone interested in the Badr/Saki fight can find the full video (surprisingly) on Badr Hari’s youtube channel.

BLACKBELT IN WRESTLING? LOL
why lol?
i find that rather amusing
I'm a brown belt in putting on my pants.

Might need to wash that belt, dude…

apparetnly he has a white belt in wiping his ass
And a green belt in masturba...wait, what?
That Weidman standing guillotine is gnarly
its one of the most vicious subs out there . .. ask machida
(Benny Hill music)
ok now jones has turned super nervous and terrified
Menefee is killing me.

Anik and Couture should host.

Jones was a bad choice for this

and I actually like him.

He started off well…and just kind of nosedived.

looked like he wasn't prepared

maybe it was short notice? Or he was just nervous as fuck. Can’t really blame him if so

Can you imagine the nerves?

Got to be a difficult thing for most people to do on this stage

wasnt short notice. Dana announced it in an interview during the week

Jon Jones is so fake, he was probably faking himself reading those fake cards.
i get why they want his analysis, but this isnt a good place to do this for his first time
Not everybody is cut out for this kind of thing

I still don’t know why they don’t put Mir at the table.

I think some combination of

Mir, Randy and Florian would be solid

No such thing as bad publicity
Just logged in and turned on TV

Whats happened so far?
Also, is watching UFC on FOX on ESPN UK irony?

just a live Jon jones interview where he was awkward as hell.
here comes goldie to ruin my good mood

Get jones out of there before he poos himself

I want Jon Anik to run onscreen and throw Goldie through a window and take over the broadcast

always talking about pro wrestling
I miss The Rockers :(
hopefully you enjoyed the New Rockers

Wait, you don’t mean Al Snow Rockers, right?

JON ANIK AND THE NWO. TOOOOOO SWEEEEEEEEEET!

Wrestling > Jiu Jitsu

:-)

Goldie:

Go away.

I just found out what my problem with Jones is

He has absolutely zero swagger despite his fighting style.

well, he's from Western New York . . . my fam is from there . . . not a ton of swag in Rochester

Yeah, I’m from the area. You can’t get away with much swag at all.

some swag comes through in press conferences

COol instead of watching the pre fight interviews, it went to commercial.

Maia’s striking is alright, and is not getting better. Some good matches might make it look better though.

Still stuck with Goldie.........
Is anyone else getting no sound?

The sound just cut out for me

I've got Maia by decision.

If Weidman wins, it’s still not a loss. I love that guy. His story makes me root for him.

What is his story?

He lived with his wife in her parents basement with their baby.

He wanted to make enough money to move out and get a place of their own.

I usually root for Maia

But MW desperately needs some new names. This time I’m rooting for Weidman.

I wish Maia would start subbing people again. I want both of these guys to win though, and it’ll prolly go to decision.

Beyond the Menefee and Jones stumbles

Excellent production and broadcast.

Way OT here but

did anyone see that some guy died as a result of a failed spike from an MMA match?

He got roofied?

I shouldn't laugh

But since Hendo_One-Shot already branded me a sick fucker – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I saw a guy got paralysed, different story?
My bad I remembered wrong

Sorry. he is paralyzed

It's really only a matter of time and amount of matches before we start hearing about that more

Maia if he doesn’t try to show off how improved his striking is.

Def rooting for the underdog here

I actually like Maia but would like to see Weidman pull it off.

Maia is the dog

Weidman going to Russow Maia…let’s go!!!!

Weidman..UD

make it happen, cap’n.

I want Maia to pull of a wicked sub.

6 straight decisions is bogus, Demian.

Dana's Tweet about Jones fighting.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/operationn/Screenshot2012-01-29at21607AM.png

danawhite Dana White
Just announced on FOX Jon Jones will defend his title in Atlanta at UFC 145!!! twitpic.com/8cxsd4
So, basically fuck Rashad if he gets hurt but still wins tonight's fight.
yes

but really, why shouldn’t he do that? It’d be the 3rd time it’s happened.

Fucking Sweet!

Hopefully against Henderson.

Over/under on Rashad getting injured?

-300

The American in me wants to root for Weidman

But he’s probably a Giants fan, so go Maia!

Go Maia - and GO GIANTS
JUMBACO! JUMBACO!
Come on Maia, I need some damn points!

I hope Chael comes out to Cult of personality

That should be his song for every fight.

Lol@ 1 fight per 40 minutes
Last fight is gonna start probably at quarter after 6.
You shut your whore mouth!!
still better than Spike
I'm just happy I don't have to pay for this fight.
Don't they know its Chris WEEDMAN
lets go Maia!

Offtopic but if anyone is bored and rarely clears their cookies, you can check out how google has pegged you in terms of interests, demographic and guestimated age.

http://www.google.com/ads/preferences

Weidman looks like Cain Velasquez to me
Question?

If Phil Davis finishes Rashad Evans, should he get a title shot over Henderson?

You can sub him when ever you want Demian

but round 2 would be sweet.

round 3 would be spectacular
Maybe it's just me being excited about the whole network thing

but this Fox HD looks soooo much better to me than the HD PPV

Herb Dean lookin svelt.
He should fight
doesn't he have some form of competition background?
He was an MMA fighter before becoming a full time ref

Fought and lost to Dave Legano and Joe Riggs of note.

he was largely a ground fighter

did well from the guard iirc

wasn’t a good fighter, it was embarrassing to watch

this was while he was reffing too

Gotta root for Phil Davis tonight

Put 20 on a Olivera, Sonnen, Davis parlay that pays out 58.75

Also got some residual Parlay action from Jim Miller, Pat Barry and the Giants from last weekend.

Phil Davis can literally turn my 60 into close to 300 tonight. Drinking money for a whole month!

What if Fan-Man comes down in a Guy Fawkes mask?
Is it just me...

Or does Weidman not look all that big for 185?

Those bad boy shorts don't look too bad

Blue and silver nice

Stop painting the damn floor

That was a slip.

Weidman's arms look heavy already
Weidman is landing the right
Both Bad Boy fighters

Bishop should be happy!

I have a friend that calls them Angry Ass Shorts
Gonna start using that phrase from now on

Does he also call pancakes, big ass cookies?

I read that in Ron Swanson's voice

Weidman’s boxing looking pretty good.

So glad the fight clock isn't brought to me by some lame movie.
Two grapplers...

So it’s standup.

Weidman aint scared
Weidman getting the better of these exchanges
weidman looks much bigger

I wonder if Maia should try 170. Shit, if Marquardt and Rumble can make it.

i'd like to see some grappling.....
Right in time
Demian a fan of the jardine herky jerky striking

a hunka hunka burning glove

I have a feeling Maia is gonna get finished or just gas
10-9 Weidman I guess?
Wow

Was going to post the EXACT same thing

drinking game . . .

everytime goldie says “truly”

Surprised Maia didn't decide to try and go for a submission or stay ont he ground when Weidman took him down.

10-9 Weidman, but it’s hardly dominant or anything obv.

Is the general viewer entertained?
Are you not entertained???

Weidman looks tired

10-10

Asshole judges have it 10-9 Weidman

i guess 10-9 weidman that isnt good
10-9 Weidman

Maia is better than he used to be on the feet, but he used to be terrible.

10-9 weidman

i wana see some grappling

10-9 Weidman

Tired of Maia falling in love with his striking.

10-9 Weidman I guess

on cage control and that takedown

They always talk about how much his striking has improved then during the fight criticize Maia’s striking.

Glad i'm not the only one who noticed
Weidman has a USA Wrestling tattoo

That’s awesome

Doesn’t Efrain Escudero have that too?

Weidman for sure

His striking is much crisper

it's not much anything

it might be a little sharper.

10-9 Weidman

got the better of the exchanges and a takedown at the end.

10-9 Weidman I guess.
nice takedown.
nice job by Maia to get back up
I can't give THAT to anyone

You UK MMA fans are a strange breed sometimes…

All about technical boxing baby
he cant keep him down
Why exactly is Maia not trying to take him down?

he got up and was in a clinch with Weidman and opted to break away rather than try to push him down?

probably tiring frmo the haymaker lefts
Errr don't really see much sign of him gasing

And he’s not even trying despite it being the obvious edge.

why is Maia's neck yellow
Maia's face is all marked up
WOW!

Ad flashed on screen and Goldie didn’t shout it out! Amazing!

Maia needs to take him down, wtf
its not that easy to take a really good wrestler down
He's not even trying.
Seriously

He hasn’t even tried to once

his coach is screaming that to him all the time
Weidman is timing him
Maia realizes he's not a striker right?
I would say that is all he is anymore
apparently not

got this is frustrating.

Crowd getting restless
They just turned down the boos
BOO's!!!! Take a drink everyone!!!!
I'm about ready to write off Demian Maia as a contender
I wonder if the Anderson Silva fight was the worst thing that could've happened to him.

He’s taken the wrong lesson from that match – he shouldn’t abandon his jujitsu for striking, just learn to ADD it.

K-1 Maia needs to tone it down
Weidman doesnt seem to close his left hand when he punches
FUCK. Should've picked Weidman instead.
So far a not great boxing match
WEidman tiring but still "controlling"
God, it's like watching 2009 Rashad.
oh sweet

i picked Weidman by decision. I thought I had maia

this fight just went from terrible to awesome

still at terrible

Demian needs to sub him, Weidman's getting tired
he better watch his neck
great td defense there
What round is this?
2nd
FUCK.

+0 points for me then…unless someone gets robbed, in which case: sweet!

okay Weidman definately tired now

I’m not really that mad with this fight. Although I’m sure the casuals are real mad.

same

i’m enjoying it just fine.

its not that bad of fight..
it is ok, but for a striking fight i would atleast like to imagine that they could actually hurt one another

neither of them are actually striking with any power

Casuals can go to hell.
I'm more preplexed with Maia than anything
I've been watching MMA since before 1983

And this fight sucks

It's frustrating watching Maia go out of his way to lose

2-0 Weidman

perfect time for 11 pointz for me Demian
20-18 Weidman?
More than likely.
i think 10-9 maia unless that last few seconds and the takedown won it for weidman
same

but wouldnt be shocked at 20-18 Weidman

10-9 Maia? Or was the takedown at the end enought for Weidman?
10-10

Weidman stole it with the takedowns but really maia’s doing as much damage.

Still not sure wtf Maia is doing.

Maia's pissing me off

Stop losing at kickboxing and take that shit to the ground

20-18 Weidman

^This!
20-20

Yeah, I said it.

Manly scorecard
20-18 Serra Spawn

this is not a good fight

Great finish, Weidman 20-18
20-18 Weidman
I picked a 3rd round sub by Maia... I've almost lost all hope.
10-9 Weidman, 20-18

What the hell is Maia’s gameplan, that he’s immediately trying to stand up every time it goes to the ground?

demian grugel is losing this fight

Beat me to a Gurgel reference.

I got Matt Roth to say that on BE radio yesterday

That Maia is a rich man’s Gurgel

Needless to say

Cabbage disagreed

brrokhouse is complaining about this version of maia that looks to stand instead of submit

but dude, he’s been here since the dan miller fight.

Poor Maia. Losing to Weidman and KO’d by Silva on the same show.

I use to really like Maia, then he started working on his striking and I like him less and less with each fight.

If weidman gets cardio, he's a serious threat

he caught maia at the buzzer in a choke

11 day 40 pound weight cut

will fuck your cardio

oh

yeah that will do it.

I need this 11 Weidman

Same game plan for the 3rd

c'mon maia wtf you doing
Ray Longo F-Bombed on FOX
i hat commercials
YOU TURN COMMERCIALS INTO HATS?!
20-19 Weidman

20-18 maia but very close

lol

Would you agree that replying to belittle people, without making any points in disagreement, is something people do when they’re wrong?

Would you agree that fans are often hyperbolic about the manner of fighters’ victories? E.g. “Weidman CLEARLY won that round”.

Now evaluate ur post.

lol

Maia sucked

Lost every round

you have two rounds for Maia?

baed on what exactly?

More strikes landed round one, same for round two plus he became the aggressor. Sounds like rogan has gone to ur head.

More strikes landed round one

LOL what? That was at best (for Maia) a 10-10 round.

Demian Maia looks fucking exhausted
At this point I hope Maia gets subbed
wtf

was maia just looking at the ref for a standup?

who is this guy

This fight is a precursor to Evans/Davis

Gonna be lots of bad, boring striking

i think most people are interested in bisping and chael

That's the real main event

The crowd is gonna shit on Evans/Davis

work your guard you dizzy bastard

don’t stand up.

The crowd in Chicago is really sucking the life out of this fight. Also, everyone is panning it. I don’t know. Not bad, but not the best fight I’ve ever seen obviously.

last 3 minutes of Weidman is gonna be tough
Maia looking for sweeps and scrambles in order

to engage in shitty boxing?

/brain asplode

he is looking to land the M-Bomb
This is kind of an embarassing fight

These guys have no pop in their punches whatsoever

Why isn't Maia pulling guard like crazy?
Oh man, too tired to hold the front headlock?
Yikes. Wonder if casuals are tuning out at the moment..
both are gassed
Maia needs to go for broke and use those knees.

Its pretty close to connecting.

Demain maia-the middleweight gabriel gonzaga?
Gonzaga has power and better striking
Heavyweight so more power naturally and been training striking longer.

No argument with you though

awesome, just awesome

THERE YOU GO, MAIA SHOT. YOU GUYS HAPPY NOW?

Too tired to ride him? LOL
They look like amateurs..
wow, this is shit now.

Maia standup keeps getting better…

There is absolutely no excuse for Maia to be this tired. His original opponent is a cardio machine.

Seriously, Maia, you had him in your full guard earlier....

why did you froce the gfight up instead of trying to fight for position on the ground and a submission?

Six fighters, 5 wrestlers, and 1 BJJ guy who thinks he's an elite striker

Doomed to fail.

so i can understand weidmans excuse for being gassed, what is maias excuse?

Joe Rogan just called them 2 drunk dudes outside a bar
I shoulda picked Weidman by shitty kickboxing.
Weidman with a facepalm...that's..new?
do they not like stand and bang

Thankfully Chael will save us.

In Chael we trust.

Unless he’s selling you a house

Don't want to hear boos on the fox fights.

Not good. not good.

Well

This fight wasn’t what I was expecting… I wouldn’t say it’s terrible but it’s not good either. Poor FOX… although I should laugh at them instead due to my long-time feelings on that crap network.

No, this fight sucks.
this is embarrassing
They can barely move. I'm glad this fight isn't going 5 rounds.

Maia might be done in the UFC.

He has retard-level fight IQ
What a horrendous fight
Demian Maia showing what quasi-static striking improvement is all about.
these guys are fucking punch drunk

FIGHT OF THE NIGHT!!!

Haha this is so bad
LEAVING IT ALL IN THE OCTAGON?

WHAT IN THE FUCK

Somewhere Rolles Gracie is smiling.
And this is the fight that had the most potential for fireworks on this main card.
I would say no

Sonnen/Bisping has potential

FLYING HEEL HOOK PLEASE
Leaving it all in the Octagon? or are they Gassed!

Bisping would’ve killed Maia

Straight up demolished him
Godammit.

You’re right.

Yup as much as I dont care for Bisping, he would have starched Maia.

Weidman unanimous decision

Damn weight cuts always ruining fights

maybe not the best fight to open a FOX card.

Mark Hunt and Ben Rothwell think this is embarrassing.

The Bald Overseer will be most displeased.

Bisping would have farted in Maia’s dinner if the fights were as planned

This fight sucks, my score sucks

and you all suck

Although

NOW I’m in the position of saying this is terrible! I wrote that above statement before I saw the last half of this round. Holy Jeebus…

Alright Maia, f lying armbar. GO
how did Maia's face even get that messed up
wow. ick.

not the best thing for Fox.

I picked Demian by 2nd round submission but I dont even really care who won that.

Well that sucked
If I were a judge they'd both lose.

Degenerated into a sloppy kickboxing match?

Was it ever not a sloppy kickboxing match?

10-9 maia for the third round
Joe Rogan needs to stop talking shit
but but...

he speaks for the fans… who don’t have a voice….

yeah he should be selling it like it is the best ufc fight ever
Why?

Fight sucked

for 11 day notice, a guy upsetting a top 5 fighter should have a little better call than that

At some point, the UFC will need to develop storylines for Joe to go by

Weidman was actually the betting favorite for this fight.
glad i missed the great odds on maia
Usually they're in "sell everything" mode

I’m glad he’s pointing out how bad this is.

I put zero stock in to this win for Weidman

Maia went for ONE takedown.

Because he's stupid.
he went for at least three in the third

they were terrible and gassed, but he went for them. My biggest problem, was that when Weidman got him down, he didn’t even try to play guard. Just stood back up again.

These boos make me happy
How the fuck did Maia beat Sonnen?

Hard to believe.

It was before he was a striker.

Because Sonnen is stupid.
lol

is it really?

He hit a low percentage throw. It probably wouldn’t happen in a rematch.

Sonnen wasn't on TRT yet

and Maia was pretty unknown, especially by gangsters in oregon

It's called jiu Jitsu.

Someone should take ten and slowly explain the guy what that is all about.

Because Chael Sonnen is magnetically unable to resist basic guard submissions

It was from the top.

Nah, Sonnen rolled right into the triangle.

Maia took Chael down and already had the leg overhook, but Sonnen just couldn’t resist rolling right into the triangle.

Maia used to wrestle then
Maia tried to get Weidman down

Turns out that Chris Weidman is a pretty good wrestler

He believed in ground fighting back then.
this wasn't even the worst fight on this card

Einemo/Russow say hi

Sad, but true....

yeah but expectations were already low for that fight.

Well, That's A Close Call

But I’m happy to say both fights were TRBL

ROB HIM, JUDGES!

ROB HIM!!!!!!

Not a good way to keep eyes on this channel for casuals
Weidman has some excuse . . . took fight on short notice, big jump in competiton

But Maia? He went five rounds with the champ . . . embarassing

Kind of hope the UFC never goes back to Chicago. This crowd is full of rubes.

cmon dude

That fight blew

I honestly don’t think it did until the third. The third was some shit. But the crowd has been bad.

It was the same way the last time they came here..restless crowd booing every lull. It’s weird..we love our wrassling but have pretty unrealistic standards for mma.

Nashville is really a notoriously bad crowd

Condit/Kampmann there was a boo fest anytime any fight hit the ground. Sounded like much the same last weekend.

The Strikeforce Nashville show had a ton of that same crap.

30-28 Weidman

He wins thanks to Maia’s idiocy. Yes, don’t go for a takedown or try to submit him when he’s in your guard until you’re EXHAUSTED!

I don't want to go all Dana White and bash on game plans or anything,

but I don’t want to see Maia the striker in the UFC ever again. Bisping would’ve destroyed him.

DRAW

f them both

29-28 Weidman

awful fight, the first 2 rounds were fine imo, nut that last round really was awful, one of the worst rounds ever.

Not the greatest week of Dana’s life.

Karma is a bitch
The Understatement of the Week

is what I’ll say to your statement, as I agree with it 100%

Good god 185 sucks
Jiu-Jit-Su! Jiu-Jit-Su! Jiu-Jit-Su!

:-D

I would honestly consider cutting Maia if I were the UFC.

That was embarrassing. And he has not looked good in quite a while.

When was the last time Maia fought?

I think he’s had a bit of a lay off, and Weidman had to cut something like 30lbs in 11 days.

October
I could go with waiting until next October to suffer through another Maia performance

And this is coming from a huge, huge Maia fan.

He needs to give up the shitty kickboxing obsession

He seemed so much better when he took people down and subbed em out.

Good thing that fight was in prime time wonder how many ppl changed the channel
Silva wil punk weidman is he fights him that way and gets so tired so fast
WEIDMAN CUT 40 POUNDS IN 11 DAYS

DO NOT JUDGE HIS CARDIO ON THIS FIGHT

After Rogan asked Yamasaki why he made such a bad decision in Brazil

I want Rogan to ask these guys why they’re so boring.

Are you making shit up?

I don’t remember Rogan asking Yama why he made such a bad decision.

DQ'ing Erick Silva for strikes to the back of the head
Did you miss UFC in Brazil?

Maia cut?

Cats brought in a half-dead mouse

Doesn’t sound like I missed anything.

By the way, fck chelsea and manchester united
Fucking MMA robots

shoot me now

MMA robots are awesome

The only thing that would make this fight worse is a robbery.

Both of those guys need to buy jump ropes before their next fights
fuck

robbed me of 11 points

that's the right call
Buffer pointed to the wrong dude.
FUCK! I NEEDED A MAIA WIN! FUCK!
SPLIT?!
yea, i had to retake when i heard that

Buffer pointed at Demian LOL

It's all going off the rails.
seriously

this night is shaping up to be bad for teh UFC

And i got a real bad feeling about the rest of the night.

Bisping is going to say an F-Bomb on the mic and Rashad and Phil are going to put on 25 minutes of nothing

FUCKING BUFFER POINTED AT MAIA!

BOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo

Draw

Split decision?!

I want my 11 points dammit.

HAHAHA

Split Decision, GG JUDGES

GOD DAMNIT. I WANTED 11. MOTHERFUCK.

The fucking fuckshitfuck
haha

Buffer pointed to the wrong person.

That cost me 4 fuckin pouts judges….42

Son of a fuck. Maia you just fucked my Parlay. I now have to root for Bisping

…..nah fuck it, it’s just money

Just common sense, don't worry
Maia won a round?

Okay……….

No interview for Weidman? haha
Nothing to talk about.... lol

Someone scored it for Maia? How? Why? What is this I don’t even…

Maia's striking is garbage...

So whos next for weidman? Munoz?

wtf split

34 points

I am getting bear-mauled on this event.

We ought to be able to drop our lowest score for the season.

Damn hackers, hacked the excitement out of the first fight

Is there pressure on these guys to stand and bang?

Because I can’t think of any other reason they would both be content to showcase the weakest aspect of their games

Well here comes a guaranteed 11 points.
I'm doing fucking awful tonight.
That 29-28 Maia card is fascinating.

Usually a bad card is due to judges overvaluing takedowns and stuff…but WEIDMAN did the taking-down at the end of rounds 1 and 2.

YES ASSHOLE GOLDIE WE KNOW IT WAS 11 DAYS NOTICE YOU’VE SAID IT LIKE 30 TIMES NOW

Maia

PLZ go back to using youre yewjitsu

Fuck you SD

That is bullshit. I was about to break 30

All credit to Weidman. Don’t care for Maia anymore

So bored

I don’t even care that I didn’t get any points

Haha, Joe is not even going to talk to him?

Everytime Bisping says fake I think he’s saying fag.

Awful fight. I’d like to know how many people flipped the channel. A sloppy kickboxing match with two gassed fighters is not the way to grab casual fans.

Funny,

because to me it sounds like you could be describing Griffin/ Bonnar or Chan Sung Jung/ Garcia

Neither of those fights had that much inaction or missed punches
Split decision sounds about right.
Bisping's the least likeable fighter imo

hate that dude, hope Chael smokes him tonight.

BOOM

Thank you Patrick Morley for being such a shitty judge and giving me 11 points

hahaha… chael’s camera stares are so pro wrasslin i love it

by the way

Anyone else kinda bothered by the commentary? It just seems like they were both told to hype up Weidman. I wasn’t particularly impressed with either fighter but listening to the Joe and Goldie absolutely shit on Maia and praise Weidman at every chance was irksome.

Because Maia fought like shit

And has been fighting like shit in several of his fights.

yeah they suck. Need to get Anik all up in this shit

near the end of the fight Joe said that neither was frightening anyone else in the division t

Jones awkwardness, Couture calling Menefee Chris, horrible fight, Buffer pointing at Maia for the win. This is becoming WarGodz-esque.

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for Strikforce: Nashville level of boring
Chael with a full on WWE-style promo

Win.

sonnen with that look at the camera

chael looked weird there

Yeah, I thought that

Weird profile view?

that dehydrated sonnen look
Nice promo Chael

so fucking awesomez

except that he said that exact same speel

earlier in the week

to a much smaller audiences.

gotta test stuff out small scale and then take it to the big time

All comedians do it

just proves that all his shit is pre rehearsed and he is therefore unfunny and needs to go away
YES

These two promos were SO much better than the preceding 15 minutes of “fight” action.

lesner v sonnen at wrestlemania! lol
Sonnen is becoming intolerable
Intolerably awesome.
interolerably awesomly intolerable
nah ... just Great

Whoo!

Kevin Harvick … who?

Fucking Sonnen with the slow look to the camera
Bless you Chael

Comparing yourself to a pack of cigarettes. Awesome.

expensive and disgusting, just another republican! i keed i keed.

It may be the funniest thing he's ever said
Would love to see Sonnen in WWE
OMGPROWRESTLINGSTOPIT.
Don't listen to yesterday's BE Radio then...

The last 20 minutes were ALL pro wrasslin!

He got a look from the WCW way back in the day. He could have been in the NWO!

Next Maia fight, they will go on and on about his improved striking and then Rogan will criticize it during the fight.

not to defend Maia, but he had a cold when being interviewed by Karyn Briant yesterday. fight sucked for sure though

PLEASE JUST SHOW THE ALOE VERA FIGHT NOW.

Thanks.

geez

Man .. Maia looked really gassed there at the end. I mean, Weidman did too, but he only had 11 DAYS NOTICE, bro!

Regardless … not a very exciting fight.

Maia vs. Palhares and Weidman vs. Okami/Boetsch winner

Weidman vs the loser of Sonnen-Bisping.

Palhares is coming off a win I'd make it Weidman/Palhares, Maia/Bisping-Sonnen loser

why would you want to ruin a good prospect like Weidman’s career?

Not with the way they match up winners with winners
ALSO

Yes to this R. Lee Ermey commercial, as it’s R. Lee Ermey riding a motorcycle and being his general awesome self.

Anyone with the first name R, is a badass.

Sonnen’s looking really small. Are they giving him a lot of random tests now like they did to Sherk?

what?

He was ripped at weigh-ins. like best in his career!

Bisping would have absolutely destroyed maia there
yea, forgot they were even supposed to fight

that would’ve been a joke.

Chael missed his calling

He should have been a wrestler during the Attitude era in the WWF with Stone Cold and the Rock.

And the divas wrestling in thongs. Let's not forget that.

Jesus, it is as if braincells just regrew out of nowhere the moment it all ended.

Divas ... *drool*

Terri Runnels … mmmmmm …

she deteriorated visibly over a few years but she was so hot

stacy keibler >>>

Hello Sable
he was called to the WCW Power Plant

didn’t go for it

terrible start for this card on FOX
its free fights on fox

they were’t cage humping or lay n’ pray . .. I’ll take it.

Its FREE

Not for us. For Fox/UFC.

terrible start for the ufc in general on fox

That guy looks very interested in what’s going on.

Maia looked like shit.

He needs to re-evaluate things badly. Put him in with Palhares

Brian Stann

if he wants to be a stand-up fighter, let him.

you're a cruel, cruel person
It's a fight tailor-made for Maia to get a SOTN bonus if he chooses to go that route.

If he doesn’t, let Stann knock him the fuck out of the UFC.

I cringe when I hear he's been working on his striking

Your game is BJJ. You can submit anyone in the UFC.

Focus on that

That Marquardt fight broke his brain
more kevin harvick, uggggh
Oh look, a racecar champion

Care.

I just had a local commercial

letting me know that Jenna Haze will be at my local titty bar.

I wonder if she constantly smells like semen.
I'll let you know
she apparently has this amazing sexual presence that you can feel from a distance

Lex Steele mentioned in an interview

So in other words, she has an insatiable desire for dick?
may be a factor

He mentioned Belladonna in the same breath

Midge from Gals Guide had her fog up his glasses with the heat from her lady parts.

Why was Kevin Harvick in Stephen Hawking’s wheelchair?

Hawking bet on Maia

So I'm the only one who noticed that Chael

Re-Hashed his little promo from the weigh in interview?

He only used PEDs for better promos

Fact.

he rehashes his lines all the time

he probably spends some time coming up with them, so he uses them as often as possible

no

I mentioned it up above

Chuck Liddell is watching the fights and really out of it
@ChuckLiddell
Watching Ufc on fox now prelims on fx were good
He said prelims.
they were on Fuel
Liddell's brain is so mushy he probably doesn't know the difference

And he probably doesn’t know that fights are even on

Classic Liddell. Classic.

we all know banuelos wrote that and then got slapped after for capitalizing things

hahahaha

he bin sniffing that powder agian

Where's the gif of Liddell seizing and spasing?
NO GIFS OR PICS IN LIVE THREAD
Boooooooooo

Exceptions MUST be made!

Post the link, then
Doesn't he work for them? He should maybe know where things are airing.

I wish we had a Chuck reaction cam for every big KO.

Haha, LOL!!

Chuck said FX instead of FUEL! He’s such a train wreck! I can’t believe he mixed up those 2 distinct FOX sub- brands!

I expect this to look something like a GSP fight.
not digging RATM playing behind the desk here

seems trashy

That had to be Chael coming out to Killing in the Name.
He knows how to get in Dana's good graces
The way the night is going, Bisping will KO Sonnen in the very first round.
And I'll kill myself.
Here's a subject line.

I’ve never been rooting more for lay n pray.

16 finishes, wow.

The Fox part of the show is way off compared to last time, lots of timing issues and Jones is not very good at analysis.

MAIA

needs trt

Worked out for Hendo, no?
TRT takes Hendo when it needs to bulk up.
16 of Bisping's 26 fights have ended in a knockout win for Michael

Or 80%.

Fox missed "god damn" on a TAPED vignette?

Seriously off the rails is this show going, Joe.

Haha, I thought that was funny too.

Bisping says “And he better be god damned sure ___________________”

why is this a big deal?

not really a curse word, joe

I don’t mean about the word(s) itself, but that they were so sloppy and missed the bleep.

GOING OFF THE RAILS ON A CRAZY TRAIN
Maia would have got wrecked by Munoz

Better he gassed to Weidman. At least he didnt get KOed

He lost a UD to munoz
That was razor thin
i thought maia got fucked
Did anyone else just get a bleeped version of God damned?
the bleep came after the Goddamnit
over/under on Nick Diaz EVER being live on broadcast television
I don't really think over/under works well for that

I’ll take under 5 people on this thread understand how over/unders work since that’s the second one I’ve seen that makes no sense.

It could have worked but not phrased like that
Over/Under 0.5 Broadcast Television appearances for Nick Diaz

Fixed.

They better fight better than the last fight

or the only ones watching the main event will be live.

I'm baffled at how bad Maia has become

He needs to talk to Gabe Gonzaga.

Where is your jiu-jitsu now, playboy?

No, seriously, where is it? I’m confused.

Who looked more comfortable tonight, Maia or Kevin Harvick?

Maia looked comfortable as hell

a little discomfort might have been a good thing.

harvick is in a tapout polo

so, clearly maia

Oh cool, Condit/Diaz will be in theaters.

Like in 10 of the thousands across the country
In 3D!

And yes, I’ll be one of those guys who will go pay 25 dollars to go see it, just for novelty value.

I will go

I would much rather watch the fight in a theater with like 20 other people (since that’s all that ever go) than in my apartment on a small ass screen.

Jones looked better in that segment.
Guess who forgot about UFC on Fox 2 until right now?

:(

you didn't miss out
You didn't miss much

Just Joe Rogan calling Weidman/Maia 2 drunk dudes outside a bar

It's ok it feels like UFC on Fox 1

with so many errors going on

Seriously?

Well, in that case you should be glad you didn’t see the first fight! Two grapplers mainly only fighting on the feet and gassing out incredibly badly… it was pretty bad.

Call Sam Maislin!

Sometimes good people make mistakes.

Next fight should be a little more technical anyways.

Does anyone else think Chael turned down the promoing because bisping fights better when he is less fired up?

An ex-girlfriend is trying to Skype-sex with me

Fuck off, the fights are on.

just lead her on, get her naked, screencap it and save it for later.

And share.

sharing is caring

you guys know your stuff

screencap jerkluv

Send her over to me if she's hot
Tell her mic doesnt work and mute her and just watch
I don't want to confuse my system

If I get a boner during the fights, it could make things weird for me.

Getting a boner during fights is weird?
You can't skype and watch fights at the same time?
I read that at first as "fuck off, the lights are on"

no Cult Of Personality

i am really disappointed
hot pastrami

Those pastrami curtains, gently browning in the showcase at the butcher’s shop, just like an aging ho at the local watering hole … delicious.

Chael’s rib still bothers me.

You're not the only one...
I think I've decided I'm rooting against my pick and for Bisping in this fight

feels good.

Me too

I was actually leaning towards Bisping, but copped out with Sonnen.

three decisions on fox would be quite the disaster

they wanted fights that werent going to end in a minute. Thats why they chose 4 wrestlers and 2 pillow fisters

I hope Sonnen KOs him with an overhand right.

He'd need to be on TRT to KO someone
it will be a left but it wont
My heart is pounding right now.

This is so exciting!

Great i just peed during the break and now i have to poop

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh, So You're About To Take A Maia?
and wipe my Bisping
Mom! Bathroom!!

/Southpark

I hope Sonnen subs Bisping with a triangle from mount.

Bisping is regretting not fighting Maia after all.
so far:

FOTN:
Evan Dunham vs Nik Lentz
Cub Swanson vs George Roop

SOTN:
Charles Oliveira
Chris Camozzi

KOTN:
Cub Swanson
Lavar Johnson
Evan Dunham

Lavars KO was pretty sweet as well. I’ll be interested to see who gets it

the mouthpiece flying in the Cub KO sealed it for me
F U All

Chael isn’t here to fuck around. Watch this pressure

Is that you Chael?

Nah, of course not.

Sonnen has giant arms
WAR WEST LINN OREGON GANGSTER
please chael win by u dec
Buffer shoulda said "Chael P Sonnen"
Chael looks huge
Why is there no BECW team named

Chael Sonnen’s Disturbing Rib?

lame glove touch is lame
What kind of nest is on Chael's head?

Sonnen’s hair has swag

Both have gel in their hair
Rockhold's hair don't give a fuck
Pretty hair is pretty.
Rockhold's hair laughs at Chael's hair.

I don’t even know what Dan Hardy uses for his hair.

There was a question as to if Chael can take Bisping down? Wanderlei took him down.

USA USA

A jolly good fight, what ho?
whow . . .chael coming out blazin'
pushin' the pace
Even if Sonnen has trouble taking him down

He’s just gonna beat him up in the clinch

Punches in bunches.

I hope Chael hendos Bisping and then does the Tito gravedigger routine and does the Ric Flair drop right after

LOL. Maul him, Chael.

How the hell did Sonnen become such a beast?

TRT?

borderline psychotic self belief helps

Also known as he Diego Sanchez Seminar on Self Realization.

i have a suspicion that he started juicing after the Maia loss, he was never this agressive, and muscular in the WEC
When he became a pack of cigarettes
'MURICA CHAEL!!!!

THINK OF THE MISSILES!!

HUGHFEST

2012

I actually didn’t notice any Hughs at this event. Weird.

if i was bisping i'd take Chael down, i doubt he is used to being on his back
I'm sure he wants to

but that’s a tall order.

they both look pretty good
two men who dont like each other??? shut up goldie there is no grudge
Bisping holding his own
and the cage

and CHael’s pants

Dana just tweeted that the Maia-Weidman scoring was wrong and Weidman won all three.

11 POINTS WOO

Damn Bisping is not making it easy

I have a feeling he’s gonna be worn out though, he’s never had to grapple this hard.

Chael’s movement is pretty solid.

Chael is gettin tagged
so far so good i give the round to chael

im thinkin 10-9 mouthy brit here much to my dismay

Really?

I thought Chael would have edged it. Striking wasn’t too far off.

Agreed.

And Chael’s looking more and more worn out as it goes on.

BISPING 10-9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Bisping getting all fancy

With some spinning kicks and whatnot.

He looks pretty good

Liked the shit out of his hand!

I gotta say . . . 10-9 Bisping
10-9 Bisping

Surprisingly

10-9 Chael
What!?

Bisping got up immediately from both takedowns, and controlled Chael for the majority of the fight.

10-9 Bisping

Chael can’t get Mike down and keep him there.

I hate to say this

But I scored that for Bisping

Bisping is fucking exhaustes

I wonder if it was the eye poke, though
Bisping by wall n stall
Bisping looked pretty good but looks like he's wearing down way faster
Bisping 10-9

I’m starting to regret letting my team convince me not to jump to Bisping.

heck of a round.

Bisping going to gas…I hope

I dunno

I think Bisping did a little more 10-9 expectorator.

10-10

Bisping is doing a lot better than what you said!

bisping landed a couple good shots

i'm sure most people wont agree but 10-9 Bisping

Chael got 2 takedowns but did nothing with them, and Bisping landed the better shots on the feet

Sonnen should get a haircut before his next fight.

Turns out Bisping really is world class??
I hate the guy, but he's gotten a lot better.
But...but...but....he spits on people
Sonnen putting a lot of pressure and we'll find out who had the harder weight cut soon.
Who fights Silva

if this goes to a draw?

Bisping trying to land that left hook when Sonnen bowls in

This fight is kind of a win win, if Chael wins we see Silva vs Chael again and months of shit talking, if Bisping wins then we get to see Anderson beat him down.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

Fuckin’ win this Chael!!

If Bisping wins

He deserves a shot at Anderson

i agree and i really dont care for bispings personality but he is getting better as a fighter

lol at them trying to sell Bisping as underrated
What is Chael doing with this neck hold?
Yeah, that line looks real, real stupid now
No to people that put money on it..
No it doesn't. If it keeps up I'm going to triple my money.

Chael is just that convincing

Lol not a blowout at all

Rd 1 Bisping

This shit's a brawl
Stuck on the cage all this round
WTF WITH THAT SEPARATION!
I don't like it

Bisping was working well

Bisping was dominating him.

Plenty of action. That was a terrible referee job.

agreed -- that was garbage

Bisping was active

Bisping taking deep breath

STAY ON HIM CHAEL!!!!!

chael is just all over him
I know Bisping doesn't have crazy power

But Chael has a chin man…damn

He's fearless too...

I see TIki Ghosns faceee noooo

i knew i recognized that goatee...
if Chael get's triangle'd again . . .

man Bisping is great at creating space

I've found the first argument against HD

Tiki’s beard. Just shameful.

10-9 Sonnen. 2 takedowns, and just about equal on the cage for the first round.

break his ass

I don't think he swings that way...
I think BIsping can land a knee
Is Chael drunk?
Bisping is a huge 185er

maybe him leaning up on him is tiring him.

Bisping might be one of the biggest 185ers

And he carries it in to the cage even after his cut

def looks it.

that would be wild.

He was training for Mark Munoz

But he is no Michael bisping

WTF is wrong with you Chael.

Oh well…Anderson vs. Bisping (:

Chael looks terrible

Silva will destroy this Chael.

not so sure about destroy.
SILVA destroy's ALL
I'd pick Silva to destroy old chael too

in a rematch

Well, he probably forgot to take testosterone
i'm sorry but Chael does not look like the #2 MW in the world, it seems that besides GnP he has nothing else to offer in a fight
I don't think those people saw Chael in the WEC.
Does anybody else see the irony in

The guy who tested positive for PEDs being the one doing the most cheating?

And suddenly also getting tired faster?
Bleh, I meant to say not doing the most cheating

lol

Chael's not as strong as Bisping
Grappling on the cage actually more bisping, but takedowns with sonnen

Everyone drinks if they mention going old school with footstomps.

I think this is a good fight

Agreed

Chael throwing the weakest knees ever

Overeem is disappoint

Please god win Bisping
Did Buffer screw up?
danawhite Dana White
And I mean all 3 judges scored it for Weidman and not a split dec
no, judges adding failure i believe
i blame Herb Dean. Refing and Judging a fight at the same time? now that's just unprofessional
Possibly.

From Herb Dean Scoring the Johnson fight to Buffer pointing at Maia and not Chris, Bruce seems to be off his game tonight.

Also, some nice hand traps from bisping
Chael's zombie style not so much

Underhook, Sonnen?

pretty good scrap!
Bisping is a really tough matchup for Chael
10-9 Bisping again
10-9 CHAEL
What? Did you see the clinch?
Are you a fan boy? Or did you put an absurd amount of money on Chael?

CHAEL SONNEN YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!!!

Somebody needs to remind Bisping he has to fight Spider if he wins this.

20-18 Bisping

maybe people will finally start giving him his props after this fight.

probably not

the props I mean

That spinning kick is so slow lol
FUCK!!!

Bisping might win thi shit?!

Bisping looks good here

Not going to help him against Silva at all

Guess Chael cycled off too early.
I think that's 20-18 Count Hatealot
19-19

Chael. C’mon son. I am disappoint.

What the fuck am I seeing?

It looks like Chael never recovered from his weight cut

If Evans loses this night will be shit for my scorecards.

Darn, Chael not looking good, Silva is so happy, Bisbing is a joke to him.

everybody is a joke to silva
Silva is going to posterize Bisping

he’s gotta be laughing his ass off.

Watch Silva win, retire right after, then say “Sorry Chael you had your chance” /trollface

19-19

Seriously though, Chael was SAVEd by the referee in that first clinch.

this fight is pretty even
Bisping is doing well.

But mark my words he’ll have to TRUCK chael in the 3rd to win this fight.

Chael needs a finish or a 10-8
This is genuinely making me sad.

War Chael, war :(

20-18 bisping

Chael looks terrible if he can’t get it to the ground

I'm thinking there might be some inconsistent judging for this if it goes to decision.

each fighter will get a 30-27

very possible

Its been close and judges suck

Bisping has Chael by the ball in the point game

20-19 Bisping, I guess

Good job on choosing fights for first real FOX card Dana!

20-18 Bisping. I'm fucking cursed tonight.
Who seems more tired, now?
USE THE TRIANGLE MIKE

Haha.

Atta boy Chael

CHAEL SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR

I know people are high on Bisping holding his own

But he has done nothing to win this fight yet

He won the first two rounds

Maybe Chael will get a SD here and get revenge for Matt Hamill

Then say he gave Bisping a “fucking wrestling lesson”

Was CM Punk supposed to bring Chael's "special vitamins" or something?
More like-Tom-Cruise-vitamis.
Goldberg is high

Dana has to be nervous as shit that Chael’s gonna lose.

How can I justify hoping that Chael subs Bisping?

i actually think chael won both first and second round

and his winning the third one too

Man, how crazy would it be if Chael subbed Mike.
10-8 sonnen round??
not until he does something with it

all he’s winning so far is position.

Those shoulder strikes and open palm slams have to count!
HE'S CROSSING THE ANKLES MIKE

KILL

this round is all chael

ARM TRIANGLE. DO IT!

NICE MOUNT

WHO MOUNTED??
chael mounted bisping

but no more

chael mounted bisping

Bisping is bottom control

…I’m sorry, was too tempting

Now the rubber meets the road.
Majority draw

it definitely won’t be that.

Oh god.

The USA chants.

JINGOISM!!!!!!!111
Holy bacne batman....

Stand this up and I swear I will hate you for life Big John!

This could be a 10-8 round is Bisping doesn't get outta this
Not even close
not even sort of close
How so?

He’s been ontop the whole round, had back control w/ both hooks and full mount

he did dick-all with it
And judges have been known to award control and Bisping did absolutely nothing either
Not even close to a 10-8 round

Bisping just hit Chael in the back of the head like 10 times.

Nice shit Bisping
Why would Joe say that?

about Chael having to sub him to win?

Yeah
thoughtit was strange too

Chael could easily have won 1 of the first 2 rounds

The first 2 rounds were very close

That was just weird that he would say that

Bisping will earn alotta respect even if he loses this shit.
Most of us here respect Bisping, but still hate him
Well said.

But I can’t say I really dislike him anymore. I just root against him most of the time.

yeah he is like jon jones for me or BJ penn, i like them as fighters but dont really care to hear them talk

If this were Pride rules...

Chael wins.

you mean fighting brock lesnar, right?

fasdl;jf;qeiw4u6op;aejt;kladjfga;w36u;laskefd

Wanted to see a stoppage in this Sonnen Bisping fight so bad. Should have known better.

The fuck is this shit?

i hope its a draw
Oh god, no. I want a new xbox
Draw sounds about right.
Oh Great

Everyone take a drink for those two mentioning “Don’t Leave It In The Hands Of The Judges”

I would give it to sonnen 29-28 but close
Split Decision forthcoming
This, quite possibly for Bosping
If this isn't 29-28 Bisping it's wrong
Not that I wanted that outcome
Ironically

Sonnen’s best round was the least violent of the fight.

29-28 Sonnen

I have Rs 1 and 3 for Chael.

10-9 chael, 29-28 bisping
PLEASE FUCKING UNANIMOUS DECISION FOR CHAEL!!!!
I'm shocked.

But I think Bisping is the better fighter.

Fuck it

give it to Bisbing cheal hasent done shit in thi fight take and nothing pffffffff

Bisping won 29-28 IMO, but i have a feeling the judges are going to give it to Sonnen
10-9 Sonnen, 29-28 same

Close, and i’m impressed as hell with Bisping, but Chael won the first and third.

I’d have given Chael the 1st round I think.

Back of the head with the punches.

29-28/27 for Chael, though.

god damn, i hope it's Sonnen. I had him in rounds 1 and 3 but round 1 is way close.

I am so pissed that I didn’t put down a bet on Spitsbing right now!

Bisping Won

2 rounds to 1.
10-9/B
10-9/B
10-9/C

29-28 Chael

Cue promo that will fall flat

that was an awesome fight
Bisping 29-28

but Chael 29-28 wouldn’t be a crime

It'd be pretty bad

He didn’t do enough to win 1 and certainly lost 2.

Yeah it would be

Chael won the 3’rd round, sure… but no way did he win the first or the second. 1st round is a draw at worst

wtf just happened

I’ll take split for Chael

WIN, SONNEN, WIN, SONNEN!!!
A

29-28 Spitsbing incoming.

BISPINGBISPINGBISPING!!
I'm not surpised

BUT I AM FUCKING GODDAMN DISAPPOINTED

29-28 Mr. Sonnen
29-28 Bisping

Split for Chael please.

Did that last minute takedown swing some momentum Bisping's way?
it'll keep it from anyone considering it 10-8
make it a UD, also.
28-28

the first was 10-10 in a just world

Sonnen should be embarrassed.

All that shit-talking and that’s what we got? Fucking pathetic.

Chael looked so awful in the standup it had to have been stuck in the mind of the judges

That’s all I can visualize is him pretending he’s drunken master

This

He looked like a drunk Zombie for two rounds.

chael looked bad

slow and uncoordinated on his feet

That movie Chronicle looks AWFUL
Bisping 29-28 for me

Round 1 really close. Could go either way

Now watch this fight be called a unanimous decision.
How will Sonnen spin the UD, i wonder
zz

I think Chael had the first and third

11 pts in the bank

Chicago Screw Job if they give it

Sonnen

All about the money baby
of course

“Don’t leave it in the hands of the judges” = Don’t let us fuck around and get the matchups we want

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL he didn't win that 2nd round.
Or the 1st
Probably would need a rewatch...

Thought it was close, and scored it for Chael at the time.

Hmm

I guess takedowns that lead to nothing are still valued over a higher quantity and quality of strikes landed.

apparently

He was controlled and beat up for the vast majority of the second round and still won it.

Only by 1 judge,

but still, ridiculous.

You guys are crazy

He really didn’t land any significant strikes

Bisping landed way more than Chael in the 1'st and 2'nd rounds.
Not to mention

He controlled him for long periods of time against the cage.

I don't count that for anything.

Control is neutral.

not according to most judges

though i agree it should be

Octagon control is one of the 4 bases for scoring.

Not that you don’t already know that.

I know that,

but the key is “effective cage control.” If you press the opponent against the cage and land zero strikes, don’t slam the opponent, etc, then it isn’t effective. IMO

I think that's the thing though, is there's no concrete way to determine it.

So it’s all based on opinion what someone determines as effective.

Agreed.

Scoring system still needs tightening up and clarifying

I’ll never understand why the fans can figure this shit out and the commissions can’t.

nah, you're thinking effective striking/grappling

it’s just ‘octagon control’

apparently effectiveness doesnt matter

Incorrect. Chael landed more in the first.

Break it down. How did Chael win the first two?

Rd 1 – he landed better shots and took Bisping down. He had some serious power shots.

Rd 2 – was a lot closer. Would care if it went either way

Rd 3 – total domination but I’m sure all you guys scored Rd 3 for Bisping because you are not biased at all.

The irony of your final sentance is delicious.
Just go rewatch the fight.

People expected Chael to wreck Bisping and because that didn’t happen, emotion is bending reality

Bullshit decision.

And I HATE Bisping.

BULSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chael won the first.

Cage-pressure was just about equal. He scored 2 takedowns to Bispings nil, and Bisping really didn’t have a meaningful striking advantage.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YES CHAEL YES
30-27?????????
FUCK YA!!!!!!! 11 MORE POINTS!!!!!!
30-27?

You have gotta be kidding me.

YUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUSYUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it when I heard 30-27
30-27 is a crime

but i did think chael won 2 rounds

30-27? WTF? ahahaha
terrible scoring
Wow.

I don’t know about that.

Beer or whisky?

Should I switch to whIsky for the main event?

I hate the guy

But Bisping deserves a shitton of respect

agreed

his reaction was as good as anyone could do in his situation

30-27 was a bit much but was a close fight coulda went either way

YUSSSSSSSSSSSSS
what the fuck?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Oh Man

What a lucky SOB Chael is.

pretty classy by Bisping
11 points, but come on.

The fix was in.

came to post this

total bullshit decision

WHAT?!!!!!???

That was a ROBBERY!

30-27?

While I may not agree…I like the 11 points.

Dana, do the right thing. Give the championship fight to Bisping.
I rooted for Chael. I picked Chael.

Bisping won that fight.

No title shot. He lost that fight.
wut?
Jesus fing christ, he's gone mad
WWE PROMO IN FULL EFFECT
i knew the judges were going to give it to Chael, this fucking sucks
I had a feeling. Anything to see Silva/Sonnen 2 right?
So pumped for Chael's comments

-nobody with a big penisz

I love ya Chael
lol at Joe's face
OMG.

Chael….I love u.

STFU Chael.

You barely won that fight.

Rogan really?

i love how he throws out random submissions that have nothing to do with whats going on like hes watching a completely different fight lol

What a catastrofuck

Good decision

No problems with the 30-27

hahahahahha. I love Chael Sonnen.

Dammit chael you didn't finish the quote
BEAT ME IF YOU CAN

SURVIVE IF I LET YOU

Guh. I forgot about Taz.

Survive

IF I LET YOU

Hahahahahahahahaha

i like Chael, but he needs to stfu
+11!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!EAT TUNA, BISPING!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately,

Pretty much everyone got the same 11 points.

Bisping lost. That makes me a happy camper.
30-27 Sonnen???

Heh, I’ll take the 11 points.

Dude is outta his mind haha

30-27 was bullshit but i agree with the decision

I agree...

a UD?!?! I agree that Sonnen won, but not a 30-27… no way.

But can he pass the piss test?
Silva by prison rape.

I had it two rounds to one for Chael. But I am not impressed by his performance.

Hey listen to that. They're playing Chicago in Chicago.
Subtlety can suck my ass.
i fucken hate bisping

and i think anderson would destroy him… but he did not lose to chael in my eyes

Really thought Joe was just going to say "....no."
I was hoping Joe would say "Actually I though Bisping won, so..."
I think Bis will get one more fight to win and then the winner of Andy/Chael

Awesome! 30-27 was nonsense., but whatever.

That’s what a fucking robbery looks like

under no circumstance was that a robbery
Nah, the 30-27 dude is dumb though.

Yeah, I can understand Sonnen winning the fight, but 30-27 = my mind blown

a win could be argued

but a robbery that was not

Chael Sonnen has been studying The Rock’s WWE performances.

props to Mike for being professional when alot of people feel he was robbed
you're misappropriating the word "robbed"

close fight – yeah

i guess robbed is too strong a word, but you get the point
HAHA!

I haven’t been a pro-wrestling fan in 15 years, but god damn Chael Sonnen amuses me!

Silva is going to wreck him

but it will be fun.

I mean, shit

Takedowns really do count for everything. He had takedowns and did nothing with them in the first two rounds and somehow won the fight.

I have to admit, that tickled me

Not looking forward to the pro wrestling jokes from my friends though.

I'm a way way bigger fan of Sonnen

But 30-27 seems a bit shiesty.

HAHAHAHAHA,Chael makes me happy, and 11 points richer

He has to up his testosterone for a fight with Silva.

I guess I'm not getting a new xbox

there’s 11 points I don’t feel great about

If he gets a fucking title shot off of that? Bullshit.

So was Weidman unanimous??

The second I heard 30-27, I knew Chael won.

Not a great call.

Bisping had the same reaction as you
whut...

Man I must not watch enough mma cause I thought Bisping had it 2 rounds to Chaels 1

Stream died for me. SONNON WON???

No, but yes.

Yup. UD. 1 x 30-27, 2 x 29-28.
Besides the 30-27, anyone mad about that fight?

I mean, Chael beat Bispin, but in the process got his ass kicked too. Nothing there that I don’t like.

How did he win round 1 or 2?

R1 is arguable. R2, no way!

Takedowns in round one.

No real advantage in striking for either guy. Lot of cage stalling in between.

All that for round one, obviously.
Two takedowns, a little control and GnP and that heavy overhand right.
In the first.

Exactly. Bisping only cage-stalled, and didn’t really do anything meaningful in the stand-up that wasn’t easily out-weighed by two takedowns.

queue MMAIntellegence ROBBERY!!!!! fanpost

that should make for some fun weekday viewing.

The judges tonight are turrible
We need Sir Charles on commentary
i cant score the first round for bisping

it was a draw at worst. looking at the fight as a whole i dont think bisping won either.

Agreed
That was awesome, the way he referred to himself in the 3rd person. So natural.

How many of us got Mr. Wonderful?

I had first round for Bisping, second round was a toss up, third for Chael. not a robbery, only if you picked Bisping can you rationalize it as such.

i guess now 30 27 makes some sense. Some people are saying the first was close, some people are saying the second was close, well if they were both close they can both go to Chael.

Very few say the 2nd is close.

it only takes one. Everyone disagrees with the scores that are really terrible.

That's a terrible argument

I don’t think it was 30-27 myself, but when as many people are saying they scored each of the first 2 for Chael, it’s not worth whining over; it’s obvious that people say it that way, because people saw it that way.

Almost nobody picked Bisping

Only one guy in the BE Civil War camp did

Now, I'm rooting for Rashad, hard, but picked Davis--that way I won't feel bad either way.
I wonder if I was swayed by the fact that Chael couldn't take Mike down at will and keep him there
FOTN if you ask me

And Anderson Silva would starch Sonnen standing in a rematch.

I liked Dunham/ Lentz better,

but yeah- good fight.

It will win it

But Dunham v. Lentz was better

Bad decisions leave a bad aftertaste. I'd go with Dunham/Lentz
What?

This fight was really, really bad.

My boy didn't disgrace me tonight

He actually does come from a town not far from where I live as well, so I reserve the right to support. V close stuff, no matter who you though won, depends on whether you value position more

he won that fight

as far as I’m concerned

its never a robbery when a fight is that close

not a robbery at all, but 30-27 is shady as all hell.

yeah that was bullshit. Bis clearly won round 2 IMO

but if each round was close then 30-27 isn’t unthinkable.

round 2 was not close at all

then how come there are people here saying Chael won and people saying Bisping won. And how come the judges were also split?

because the fight was 3 rounds? round 1 is debatable, round 2 is clearly Bisping, round 3 is pretty clearly Chael.

but if a group of (mostly) intelligent and knowledgable MMA fans are split on round 2 then surely there’s a chance that it wa close?

FightMetrics

I want to see them on that last fight.

The lack of PED's are going to cost him the rematch

He looked way smaller and weaker than he did against Silva.

that exactly why his performance was so bad, no peds not cardio or speed or explosion on his takedowns

Evans-Davis needs to save the card.
they should just re air the prelims, every single one of those fights were better than the main card
JOE-Russow? Roller-Johnson?
nvm i forgot about JOE vs Russow, don't re air that one, re-air the rest
I truly believe Michael won, but we'll get to see the fight we've all been waiting for.

Yes, I’m a bisping fan…hate on me lol. But I dislike Chael more than any other fighter.

robbed

I had Chael winnin the fight but i also really believe that Bisping SHOCKINGLY upset won that shit…never leave it in the hands of the judges, im happy cuz my picks are intact but mayn i have a lot of respect for bisping and he got robbed…..

far too close to use the R-word… I had bisping winning easily but am thrilled we’ll be spared Silva destroying Bisping.

I agree. now I want Chael to lose in a devastating fashion.

I can’t stand Chael but hopefully Bisping will get the respect he deserves.

Maan that was some Grade A, hand feed, all natural BULLSHIT
Well, at least there was no booing in that fight.

that fight could of went 29-28 for eather, it was that close and how you scored the 1st

Takedowns (with no offense from them) count more for striking

That’s how anyone who had Chael winning the fight saw it.

just thoguht the 1st round was a coin flip round

I could see an argument for Chael taking one of the first two

But 30-27 is ridiculous. I think Chael won btw.

Silva is licking his chops...
Chael is lucky that Munoz got hurt because if he fought like this against Munoz he probably would have gotten KOed
Chael str8 does a poor mans Rock promo, stumbles over his rehearsed lines, wins a BS decision

And people love it. Lol

I had it 29-28 Sonnen, and I thought that was kinda clear. Sonnen was a machine in the first. His striking, especially defensive striking, was much better than Mike’s.

Seriously?

What did Chael throw of consequence, even from mount?

(Huge Chael fan.)

Same argument for Bisping in the 1st and 3rdt
Bisping did good! No matter what you think of the decision. He deserves some RESPEKT!
So is there a bigger Rashad fan than me here?

He won me over on MMA live when he did an impression of his mother and then his mom called in

That sounds hilarious.

IT’s episode 64 of MMA Live, but they took it off Youtube..

Psychoblack
Nah, Rashad fading Rampage probably killed that.

I’m not sure, I’m a pretty solid Rashad supporter.

I like him

I’ve cheered against him though a bunch so no, I am not.

I'm your huckleberry.

Greatest part of my only live UFC event was watching everyone’s Charlie Brown walk out of the arena after Rashad dominated Rampage.

He's hit or miss.

Rashad looked great against Tito, but c’mon… it’s 2011 Tito.

He has real flashes of brilliance, and real moments of seeming impotency.

And only one loss, despite fighting top competition often.
No doubts that he's good

I’m just talking about entertainment value as a fighter. Sometimes I love watching him fight, sometimes he’s just boring as all get out.

Ah, makes more sense then.
Biased.

Met Rashad at a signing, he was super enthusiastic after hours and hours of signing stuff and posing for idiots like me. I’ll always root for him now.

I love me some hashad
Can some explain the 30-27?

Chael won all three rounds 10-9

30-27? Could it be that financial interest has influenced the judging?

Oh shut up

haha you got flagged for this somehow

How would you tell if you weren't the flagger?

I went to rec it and it says Flag 1

if I flagged my own team captain though that would be hilarious.

Don’t worry, it means you rec’d it. The rec number appears next to the word “Flag”

He's been around forever, I'd think he would know that by now.

Ah mb. Assumed otherwise because of his comments

nah it's a graphic error

recs appear next to flag sometimes

ah that is a weird error

every time for me
Maybe JoshTheGod is messind with BE now.
Everyone should flag MDH for changing name
lol

I still don’t believe that is your real IRL name. Come at me bro

u mad at my parents

No, seriously, I call fake. That is not your real name

its the real deal

dont be jealous

Those big money takedowns from Chael
Go watch WWE.

What?

Pro wrestling chooses who will win a fight based on who is more marketable.

Eh…yes but not always. Writers also base the outcome of fights to advance story lines.

I was just joking anyways.

I hate pro wrestling, obviously.

Call Sam Maislin!

Sometimes good people make mistakes.

I love Sonnen and do not love Bisping,

but Silva’s going to look a lot better beating Chael than he would beating Mike.

Sonnen won rounds 1 and 3

2nd round was definitely Dirty Mike’s though

that's how i had it

Standing at 37pts

Tonghts Chael...

Will get killed by Silva… hope he has a plan.

Joe Rogan on Condit and Diaz:

“They are the top pound for pound fighters as far as 170 goes”

???

Terrible decision

That was decision to make sure of the rematch…. just bullshit…. (NOT A BISPING FAN BTW)

chael taking promos from the Rock
Nah bro

He’s all natural and hilarious. He makes me laugh all the time with his witty off-the-cuff remarks. Like how he should have a warning label like cigarettes because he is bad for your help? ROFLCOPTER!

Holy shit

I hope Davis wears his singlet in the fight

ok whatever, WAR DAVIS!
Update.

BE and MMAweekly scored it 29-28 Bisping, Junkie scored it 29-28 Sonnen and Sherdog scored it a split draw.

OH ALL OF THESE SOURCES DISAGREE. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A ROBBERY
The draw got robbed.

Fight was obviously a draw.

30-27 is an inexcusable score

the second round was not especially difficult to call in Bisping’s favor.

As long as Sonnen won and he look good in the last round, the audience will remember that. And of course the wrestling promo he cut.

Yeah.

Still unwarranted though. He looked like shit and there’s no way he doesn’t know that he looked like shit tonight.

sherdog is not the gospel when it comes to fight records. There are going to be discrepancies, especially when the line between amateur and pro doesn’t really exist.

They need to publicize these rankings
When did UFC make these rankings?

I thought Dana didn’t believe in rankings?

They need to start believing

One thing that made it easier for me to get into the sport when I started watching was finding rankings on the web. It gives you a vague idea of what’s what.

This is really awkward and just not nearly as good as last time.

LMAO -- Anyone see Rashad's record?

Now it’s up from 16-1 to 21-1. I love the record inflation in the UFC.

Exhibition fights?
Dude, no one knows

Melvin Guillard’s record changes every time he fights. I think he has about 94 wins now.

That’s kind of sad.

James McSweeney-esque in his record inflation, Joe
Yo gotta add his K-1 record as well

They’ve always inflated his record, counting amateur fights or something.

He and Melvin must have been a tag team.

They include TUF and some other fights.

That's fucking retarded

TuF fights used to be sanctioned I believe and now they are considered exhibitions

That season of TUF counted towards each fighter's professional records.

The only reason the others aren’t is to avoid public records on winners released by the commissions, which is more retarded. Hopefully that changes now that the fights are live.

Oops. Reply to Jonathan.
lets go Davis.

If anyone is curious, the MMA Fighting PBP guy scored it 30-27 Sonnen

there's a good reason never to follow their PBP

I would have no argument if Chael/Bisping was 29-28 Chael or Bisping or a Draw

Didn't know royal rumble was on fox as well by the by
This needs Anik
It was really close

I’m rewatching it now on mute and it’s a lot closer than I thought. I’m pretty easily swayed by commentary honestly.

Jon Jones should never be on TV again

Dude sounds horrible up there

He sounds like someone from AV club
He sounds so unintimidating

Nerdy, really. But a dumb nerdy.

Look it up the bright side:

If Rashad wins, he will get to ruin his special night.

Seriously, he spends the entire time reading his notes

They need to put guys there that can break down the fights, not try to market their star.

Jones is the worst analyst of all time
He's only 24 and never done it before

Whats his age matter?

I don't see your point
He's not an analyst, he's a fighter

He’s not paid to sit at a desk and talk about fights especially ones w/ opponents he could be fighting. Plus FOX has a huge audience, anyone would be at least a little nervous or rattled doing it.

Much worse Fox analyst segments than last time.

He's just trying to win some fans.
Jon Jones

makes Gus Johnson look like…uh… someone thats good

Bisping-

Let go of the fence!

Let go of the shorts!

Quit hitting the back of the head!

I give him credit for going in there with everything he had.

No doubt in my mind that Bisping would've destroyed Maia tonight
They really need to re-do the reach

Phil Davis does not have long arms. His chest is just wide as hell.

Bisping vs. Belcher
Not bad.

But I like Bisping vs. Palhares.

I like that fight

but Paul Harris is coming off a win, and if history holds, Bisping will get a couple cupcakes to ramp back up.

I love me some Belcher

Jonny Jones on FOX = awkward as hell

Last round

could of been a 10-8 round for Sonnen because he got full mount but I dont get it, i thought bisping won 1st two rounds, he outstruck the fuck outta him

10-8 for getting mount and doing nothing with it?
Sonnen inflicted zero damage

People need to quit calling for 10-8 rounds when they’re not justified in the slightest

agreed...,

im trying to think in the minds of a crooked judge…i dont think it was a 10-8 round personally, i honestly dont think chael unanimously won that fight…

it isnt like bisping did much either. it was a pretty lopsided round

yeah thats what i was wondering………..if he got that wrong it would explain how he would give the fight to Bisbing

10-8 rounds for me are "saved by the bell" type deals

Utter domination is required

i think most people tolerated Chaels schtick because he performed inside the cage, but after tonight i feel like less and less people are going to go along with his BS
It's not even the fact that he did a promo

It’s that the promo sucked.

Promo was awesome. Cheal look great in the last round, people will remember that.

Chael wouldn't have to win fights for me to enjoy his talking

He’s entertaining as hell.

"most people"

:D

Dear lord Jones

Please o please never commentate again…………….pretty please?

i just learned from Rogan

That there is a top pound for pound list of the 170 division…and Diaz + Condit are at the top of it. I never knew each division had pound for pound lists.

please for the love of god evans win!

as long as his wife keeps the screaming down. Damn she annoying.

Without PED Chael look terrible
Again -- did anyone here who thinks the guy is a world beater actually watch him before the UFC?
His performance against Silva was out of character from what he had shown earlier in his career

Looks like the normal Chael is back

Because he was on fucking steroids
I agree with you.

TRT has no place in the UFC

Hah, I'm just saying

There’s a big reason why he got exponentially better later in his career, haha

like i said, after he lost to Maia he probably started juicing

there is a reason why people didn’t expect him to beat Okami and Nate

fighters don't go from being avaerage most of the careers to being top 5 without a little help

the chael that fought tonight would get whooped by Marquardt, Okami and Anderson (again)

Didn't Lance Evans used to fight??
He was on a season of TUF

The jason guida of the family

Goddamn these fights have been so shitty

Hoping for a Rashad knockout

how was Chael-Bisping shitty?
75% of it was clinching against the cage with little damage done
I still can't believe Shad and Gray used to be roomies.

What a weird combo.

You would think,

but in person Gray is a really chill, funny dude. I’d always show up for the morning sessions, and we’d be waiting for the place to be unlocked, all the morning fighters hanging out, and he’d crack jokes and bust chops with the best of them.

FUCK YOU, YOU'RE LIFE IS SO AWESOME!
REALLY?

He seems like such a redass.

They need to hurry this shit up

They’re only gonna have a half hour for a 25 minute fight…

Jones is 10x better when he isnt going off notes.

Just let him do his thing.

10x better than nothing is still nothing
Yeah

That was less terrible.

i was about to say the same thing.
He's robotic sounding when reading the notes.
oh god jon

i defend you alot, but man oh man that was bad

its like he secretely wants us to hate him
I would rate Jones' performance as an analyst as very up and down

He had some good moments, and some awkward ones. He was bad at first, then it seemed like he evened out, then he got kind of shitty again. He looks like he’s on meth sometimes, keeps moving back and forth non-stop

Whoever wins tonight

Pink shorts will win in the long run

I like Phil, because he owns a cat and so do I.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late.

I got 39 points tonight, how’s that.

bisping was robbed
no he wasnt
Wasn't a robbery, but he won the fight.

I think you were robbed, but Bisping lost 2/3 rounds from my point of view.

Very, very close fight.
Close fight but Bisping wasn't robbed.
I would rather have Lesnar out there than Jones

I doubt he’d get out of his hunting clothes for any reason than to get on top of his wife at this point.

lesnar is a professional talker though. kinda unfair to compare them
Lesnar was pretty good, especially next to Dana

Lesnar did a good job.

Palhares vs. Bisping.

As a matter of fact, Palhares vs. everyone I don’t like. That sounds good.

That'd be cruel, especially since Bisping got a really raw deal tonight
Yeah, but it'd still be fun. Still don't like the guy.
I like that matchup alot.

Palhares is a beast, but Bisping showed that he has a very potent anti- grappling game.

Since Maia lost, maybe we will finally see Maia vs Palhares… zomg I’d poop myself in delight!

I'm thinking since Palhares is coming off of a win

they might go with Palhares/Munoz when he recovers or Palhares/Weidman

Palhares/ Munoz is awesome too.

I assume Munoz will get a better fight than that, since he was penciled in for a #1 contender fight… I dont think he’d go from Palhares to a title shot… Perhaps Munoz vs Bisping since Bisping handled himself so well against Sonnen.

Palhares is pretty high on the totem pole right now, IMO

But Bisping/ Munoz would be a good fight. They might do Weidman vs. Bisping, too

I would really like that fight.
No more swivel chairs for Bones
That would be a good start

Jon Jones hold back a giggle talking about reach advantage

Fightmetric scored it 29-28 Sonnen. The striking stats are also pretty stunning.

nice

I think Sonnen landed just as much as Bisping. I don’t know why people were ignoring that. Probably crisper technique.

EXCUSE ME.

I misread. I think Fightmetric had it 30-27 Sonnen!

buuuuu....buuuut...buut

IT WAS A ROBBERY

"having a reach advantage is always a huge advantage"

lolwut?

that leaning back and twirling in your chair thing is a good look Bones
Its called

The bored 7th grader

haha @ jones good line

THE GHOST RIDER KEYS TO VICTORY?!?!?

TELL ME MORE!!!!

Damn Bones makes me cringe with his commentary
Hurry up and get this garbage started

I have to go grab the missus from work… fast KO please.

She better start walking.

Jon Jones keys to victory for Rashad Evans:

To not fight me.

how does Phil Davis’s upper-body even happen?

Absolute bullshit

Bisping won that fight.

Enough of this

Bisping didn’t win. The fight, at ABSOLUTE BEST, was a draw for Bisping.

i seriously dont see how anyone can see it differently
chael haters

easy to see, really

That argument would work if his opponent wasn't Michael Bisping,

the most hated fighter in MMA.

“At ABSOLUTE BEST a draw for Bisping”? Seriously?

A lot of people scored the first two rounds for Bisping. Myself included

it’s the 30-27 that has people up in arms.

My 11 pts disagrees and I’ll defend it forever!

god damn Davis is physically imposing
He's an explosive athlete!
So does Bisping/Sonnen count as another knock on Bisping

not being up to par with the elite, or did he finally earn some respect here?

bisping earned my respect big time

he will contend if he keeps at this rate for the title, great performance by bisping against a wrestler

I give him props

because he did great, but he still came up short.

i gained some respect for Bisping, felt he did enough in the first 2 rounds to win, plus Maia losing bumps him up the rankings anyways
The Key to Victory...

Thing has gotta go; seems so forced & ametuer.

stinks of strikeforce and Ken Shamrock

If this goes the distance they will run long, run long with only 3 fights in two hours.

Phil Davis' stand up is so bad he makes Sonnen look like Muhammad Ali

He makes Maia look like Ali.

Davis reminds me of Jafar from Aladdin

wtf
His facial hair isn't nearly as bad this time

Jafar definitely had the reach advantage over Aladdin

He has a wonderfully Egyptian profile.

Like a fucking pharaoh, or something.

UNNLIMITED POWWWAAHHHH

eety beety living space
That scene kills me every time

Noooo….NOOOOO!!!

You sir are a racist!!
Never seen Antonio Margarito?
It's the facial hair, right?
that

and he kinda looks like a snake too, and Jafar turns into a snake.

I haven’t seen Aladdin since I was like 7 but thats always the first thing I think of when I see Phil Davis.

Wait wait wait......no one told me Jon Jones is fighting tonight!?
LOL with Phil Davis on commentary!!!
Well

I have never heard this song used as an entrance before.

I’m coming home…I’m coming home…tell the world….

i didn’t even here it. MSG played that song so much for Carmelo that my brain stopped hearing it.

i dont get teh entrance songs here fuuuuuuuu just commercials

It would appear Dirty has had a couple of cocktails tonight.

i wish i just refuse to hit backspace because that’s for backsliders

it is still a good song
A little originality goes a long way
my random pick for this fight

Rashad Evans

Fight ends in round 3

KO / TKO

after tonight here are the fighters i would pick to beat current Chael:

Anderson Silva, Yushin Okami, Vitor Belfort, Jacare Souza, Mark Munoz, Damian Maia, Nate Marquardt, and maybe even Luke Rockhold

Yes, no, yes, no, no, no, no, and no.
with chaels awesome Sub D, you think he can avoid subs from Jacare, Maia , and Paul Harris?
Maia would turn it into kickboxing

Palhares would kill him but you never listed him

well i forgot to include Palhares, as far as Maia, yes he looked terrible today but i still think he subs chael

he already trashed marquardt

and okami

sonnen haters, u mad

“You’re only as good as your last fight.” – Chael Sonnen. (ha!)

That wasn’t the greatest Sonnen’s ever been, but he beats Vitor.

I’d see it was Yes, no, no, yes, no, yes, no and no

i have a feeling that the Sonnen that fought Nate and Okami isn't the same Chael that fought tonight

cough steroids! cough

This fight is way too explosive
And athletic
I wish it were more technical

Phil looks vaguely terrified.

yeah looks like the nerves are getting to him

I’m still going with Phil Davis

Hahaha cutman not amused
not a robbery but could have gone either way

bisping was very close in beating chael sonnen and its even more impressive when you consider it was short notice. bisping would have dominated maia tonight and i think with a full training camp in preparation for chael bisping may have won that fight

Does the Not-Stitch cutman have a nickname?
I'd say you just gave him one.

Not-Stitch works.

Just wondering about gameplans here

WIll both of them try to take it down to the ground 1st, try to strike? Evans no longer has Jackson in his corner, will his tacticaly adept style but undone a little? Is it grappler vs striker( guess which one the national champ is)

I'm thinking maia-weidman unfortunately
One of these guys gotta have better striking than that please

Prob Rashad

I bet with my head and Rashad but my heart says GO PHIL!!!

any man who nicknames himself after his cat is A-OK in my book

WAR Woogy Boogy Binkie Boooboo
Shad wins music battle
Mobb Deep usually wins.

Sounds like a faster remix, though.

say what you say about Rashad, but he always has awesome walk out songs. Mobb Deep!
Jon Jones will come out to Mobb Depp next fight
nah he will come out to 50 Cent's "god gave me style" unlesss..... Swagga jacka!!
Mobb Deep

nice choice of music from Evans

Pretty sure he always comes out to this. Did at 114.
That song was Shook Ones pt. 2

this is Survival of the Fittest.

Ah, couldn't hear it really. Thanks.
You know all that rap just sounds like a bunch of clicks and whistles.
master shake ftw
now THAT is walkout music
OK, based on walk out music

War Rashad.

hell yea true hip hop head

Rashad is the walk-out king
Nah man, you should've seen Saki at the IS card earlier today.

That was a fun walkout

Rashad by KTFO Rd 1

Gotta supply enough interestingness for the whole night.

hope so

phil davis’s head is weird shaped, i can’t see it being KO’ed

Rashad always picks great entrance music.

mobb deep – murda muzik LP from 1999 cant think of the song tho allustrious?

He always comes out to Shook Ones, but I can't hear it at the moment.

Survival of the Fittest

Infamous Mobb Deep

Hell yeah!

You ain't a crook son

you just a shook one.

Someday a fighter will walk out to Necro

And the audience will be really uncomfortable.

come out to dead body disposal by necro just to make people really wonder

garbage bag '94

most disturbing song ever

Well, my picks sucked dick tonight.

But chicken wings ought to cheer me up.

Like I said earlier.

Regardless of what you feel about Rashad personally, you can’t not have sympathy for the Ballad of Rashad over the past year.

Rashad always seems to win entrance song battles
I wonder if the Blackzilians camp...

Would ever accept a caucasian…

Affirmative action, bitches!
Only if you are Asian
Maybe a white Brazilian
Carlo Prater?

Maia?

A guy like Carlo would probably be eligible.
their head trainer is one, so why wouldn't they?
Isn't Van Arsdale half black?
Not athletic or explosive enough
after the mike johnson-shane roller fight

i bet they’ll get tons of application from brits

andre winner should have them on speed dial by now

yeah but he would kind of fit

i was thinking dan hardy

Only as a coach

If phil can survive the first round, I think he can stall the shit out of rashad and win this thing. We'll have to see.
Rashad gets tired in protracted grappling- centric fights

is this only 3 rounds? bah!

Well shit... I was wrong

Well don ’Shad

hes very confident is rashad
Rashad jocking on Bones' cage entrances

Chill

actually its reverse . . . rashad's been doin that for years
Whole heartedly cheering for Rashad.

Rashad vs. Jones is going to be the ppv of the year.

We don’t get to see Rashad enough.

cause he's always hurt
I think he has two submission wins Joe

I’m not sure what your definition of several is.

Granted they were baller submissions
No doubt

Especially on Gustafsson

more than one is usually the accepted definition
nope, im wrong

more than two

This thing my run overtime

The explosive guy

is going to win this one.

I'll take the athletic one, thank you very much.
No offense people

but Mobb Deep did make OTHER songs than just Shook Ones

What do you know about it?!

you’re not even a real emcee!

yeah, but that was a real good one.

yeah but all the good ones were on the same album. USA (Aight then) It’s mine, etc

i think prodigy had some decent solo material and havoc produced some decent stuff but almost all tehir other LPs were largely skippable

Herb Dean looks like Sad Keanu tonight

Sad Keanu was sad he was making so much money so fast

that must be why

Herb gets min 2k per fight

I hate how they say their reach is 75" inches...

That’s their wingspan, and Davis doesn’t have a four in reach advantage, it’s a two inch reach advantage…

This is awesome!

This is a great matchup!

I think Davis's takedown's may surprise Rashad
Dana

payed of the judges in the bisbing fight

Rashad by Uberknee Jr

herb looks slimmer

He's trying to cut to Light Heavyweight
judging and reffing at the same time must burn off some extra pounds
War Rashad 2nd round TKO!
I went with Rasahd UD,specifically

rounds 1-3 Evans, rounds 4 and 5 Davis.

@thugjitsumaster: Rashad comes out to Mobb Deep but I would put him in the “Half way Crook” category. That’s like saying" ain’t no such thing as me".

Shots fired!

Dean is reffing this?

Way too much athleticism and explosiveness for one cage.

yeah

DAVIS BY KO!……syke

Davis doesn't look confident
All my picks were wrong

.. i picked rashad to win, hope thats not violently wrong

fuck, I forgot to pee in between fights again
Davis looking anywhere but across the cage. No Bueno
Rashad getting cheered?

We are through the looking glass here, people.

Hometown, isn't it?
They add 3 wins to Evans' record every time he fights.

Rashad can leave himself in bad positions . . . Tito almost subbed him b/c he was sloppy, and he almost blew the Silva and Rampage fights at the end

Next Member of Blackzilians:

Herb Dean

The Dean of Blackzillians is Herb, Joe

“Herb Dean explodes in to call the fight off!”

Rashad looks grizzley

Phil has some nervous energy.

Rashad jacking Jones' moves!

Phil is an imposing mofo

He never comes across as imposing. Ever.

He has that permanent smiley aura about him. He just radiates happy.

Let's go Shad

DOMINATE HIS WILL

He just called Phil, Lance.
Or maybe he said legs...
Close enough.........

Brandon Vera Kerry Vera, a great muay thai fighter

Ultra explosive!

A new level of explosiveness has been found

Is Jones HYPER EXPLOSIVE?

He's not that explosive.
He's not black enough?
davis is at least a couple shades more explosive
Explosive.

Everyone drink.

HAHA sweet

nice, Goldie

Not just explosive, but ULTRA explosive
2 black guys, who is more explosive??
Three of them, actually
The one holding the TNT!!
They break even in Explosiveness

But what about Athleticism?

The blackest one
Davis punches slowwwwwww
I just thought Phil pulled a Corey
Both Shad and Davis's arms are bigger than Jones's legs.
Davis is going to get decked if he keeps fucking around on the feet.
Davis trying to make Chael look good tonight

Yeah, high kick that went six inches over Rashad, Joe. Settle the fuck down.

nice td shad

love those tds

you just heard the ‘dump’

Shiiit, Shad about to dominate
beautiful takedown cmon rashad!!!!
davis is doing his best jon jones impression lol
Nice takedown, Shad
I like the fact that when they have been on the feet Davis is using his reach
He's a smart dude, he's just had some real crappy schedule due to either fighting on short notice, or being injured.
Well, this doesn't seem good for Davis...
I guess we know who the better wrestler is

calm down

neither fighter has exploded yet

is this a 5 rounder?

???

What?

because Rashad got one takedown he’s clearly the better wrestler?

Because he defended every TD up to that point

got his easily, and controlled Phil.

Hey, Bones should admire this.
Rashad looks fucking gooooooood
PHIL DAVIS NEEDS TO EXPLODE OUT OF THE CRUCIFIX
Needs to use his explosive athleticism
Pretty impressive that he was able to
Crucifix is brutal

Great set-up by Shad to get it, too

Awesome stuff from Rashad

I’m way impressed so far.

Rashad gonna break his hand
I've got Shad by UD.

But I’d love me a shad tko.

10-9 Rashad
agreed

can we all agree that was a 10-9 shad? lol

Rashad very relaxed

taking his time, picking his spots.

Phil got a split lip. Probably from them elbows.
10-9 Rashad, Phil might be in over his head in this one
Was it total ownage?
No.

Davis was winning on the feet for about 3 minutes until Rashad caught a kick and dominated on the ground.

Not terrible

but Rashad was better at everything, and did some work in a nasty crucifix.

10-8.5 Rashad

10-9 only because Phil got out of the crucifix at the end.

10-9 Shad

Also, I hate this Pitbull commercial. I also hate Pitbull.

he's an embarrassment to my state

but considering all the other shit that comes out of florida i guess it’s expected

davis breathing hard.
Nice grappling from both men
Ugh Pitbull

Somehow worse than dubstep

Pitbull dubstep remix

Being in a mounted crucifix has to be the worst feeling

[Insert picture of calf slicer]
Thats what she said?
Rashad looks fantastic so far.

I’d still love to see him give 185 a shot though.

lets go for the third round tko rashad.

Rashad has been looking good as hell lately

I’m starting to think he can give Bones something to think about.

I’d love to see them go back and forth in a 205er trilogy, havent had one of those in a while

Phil is like the black GSP, physically.

GSP doesn't have lats like that
Cheal post-fight quote
“you can send anyone you like at me just don’t send anyone you’d like back.”
So Chael will lock them up in his basement?
He's gonna make them put the lotion in the basket
God forbid I'm ever in crucifix position...my shoulders would both dislocate so fast!
cmon shad tko round 2
Goldie, shut the fuck up
Jones will prison-rape either of these guys.
Phil tired now?

lol athletic and explosive… fuck that gets me every time.

Rashad getting cocky now
insert rampage's face here
Tall, Athletic, and Explosive
phil fights longer that he is.
Goldie says it!

“athletic and explosive”

That's half a bottle, right?

Not just a shot?

BELL SOUND GOES HERE.
phil just looks unconfortable on the feet, this is a little hard to watch
hes sliding alot
Take Another Drink

At Goldy (of course it was him) bringing up the “athletic and explosive” line in referring to an African-American athlete.

HERB DEAN IS TRENDING HE IS SUPER DUPER FAMOUS NOW
"Herb Dean's meteoric rise up the Twitter trending charts..."
The most explosive rise I have ever seen
Davis' standup is very awkward and lumbering.
His hands look really slow, especially next to Rashad's
Rashad's one of the quickest LHWs. I can't think of anyone with quicker hand-speed ATM.
Machida?

Hmm… I think it’s more footwork with him, jumping in and out quicker than anyone in the division. Pure hand speed, not sure.

I think Rashad's faster, Machida's more precise.
Unless you're just being sarcastic because Evans got KTFO by him...

In which case, I blame Greg Jackson.

Half sarcasm.

But you’re right.

“The challenger…. To the former champion…”

Like an athletic and explosive Matt Hughes?
woah this is 5 rounds?

i forgot

Davis is frakked...
Get the coffee ready
Davis is throwing a lot of half-hearted Riddle punches..
He doesn't wanrt to be there

Phil is just overmatched here. too much too soon

He seemed overwhelmed before the fight started

Phil is gassed already it seems.

Definitely slower pace in the 2nd round.
Not so athletic, huh?

I see Phil putting his mettled towards breaking them stereotypes, eh?

i think theyre both saving gas for the other rounds
Davis has been training striking

with Jake Shields

As head coach and main training partner.
How did I not know that about Rashad and Maynard?

It’s up there with Dennis Siver, German Kickboxing Champion.

Best odd couple situation ever.

Joe has a fucking hardon for Davis.

he's a lats guy
So is Kenny Florian
living in an ab guys world?

yeah i called it before i knew he’d be all over his nuts. he loves guys that are abnormally large for their weight class.

He wants to rub hemp lotion on his lats
A hardon for Davis and steel Thai cups
We gonna get a Philface pic from this fight?

Kinda looks like it may go there, Phil doing nothing with his wrestling.

phil is also slipping and sliding on the canvas

And he’s always off-balance when he swings.

bones crushes both of them. Rashad is having trouble with Phil's reach, Jones will pose even bigger problems for Rashad

He is catching all of Davi’s punches with his hands

NO RASHAD BAD DOG

NO TKO TIL THE THIRD

Davis looks like he’s constantly in defense mode while Rashad is trying to attack.

and now I have to leave and go pick up my wife

FINISH IT SHAD

Make her wait

You’re married.

just be late, anticipation creates fondness, abcense makes the heart go yonder, etc.

Don't be that guy! Don't listen to these hooligans!
Maybe Rashad would beat Davis in a pure wrestling match
I don't think so. i think Davis is pulling a Melvin...but slower.
20-18 Hashad
davis is miserable on his back

so shocked, bader curse

OK IM OUT WATCHIGN THE REST LATER

Rashad gets the TKO next round

damn there goes my 2nd round tko pick. still lots of time to get me 7 points tho

20-18

and I don’t see that trend changing

ok so no 11 points for this so finish it by ko/tko so i can at least get 7
I see a spectacular finish in the cards here.
all 3 main card fights have been very dissapointing

lies only weidman maia was

sonnen bisping was great i thought
it definetly wasn't boring but i had higher expecataions for sonnen
really?

I thought Sonnen/Bisping was fantastic

I thought Bisping/Sonnen was good,

barring the controversial finish.

I thought it was a great fight

dunno how new ufc viewers would like it though

Just a thought

Does holding the centre of the octagon like evans is doing count as the ‘octagon control’ part as there hasn’t been too much cage work, and then give him that part of the fight? or is it insignificant?

UFC; WHY U CHOOSE GRAPPLERS FOR FOX CARD?!?!
no more 1 minute fights
C'mon

this is a good fight, and the last one was too.

To you and me, yes, they are decent. To Joe Schmo? Hell no. Clinchfests

because currently

all the champs are strikers :p

Sonnen vs Bisping was good
i'd rather this than

serra/lytle

dang Rashad, making look easy

I think ive seen enough of this fight…

I think it's pretty safe to say that the winner of this fight will have to be more explosive than the loser.
Davis needs to throw that head kick more,
Evans impressing
KOs comin...

stay tuned….3rd round

Davis is going to be embarrassed

when this goes 25 minutes and he never gets top position

seriously, how does that happen?

on paper, Davis should be able to out wrestle him right? Help me out wrestling people.

Phil looks a little less explosive and naturally gifted this round
10-9 Rashad. looks very good.
Only if you picked Rashad.
Sitting between Jeremy Piven and Michael Vick

That is a very specific ring of hell.

Pro-Tip for Phil Davis: It’s easier to stop a takedown than it is to gain a takedown.

ANd when you are tired as fuck, you are going to get fuck all against Rashad.

Davis got this fight too soon

He’s clearly not ready for this caliber of competition yet.

Who else is there for him to fight?
Gustaf

King Mo

gustaf already got slayed by Phil

he already beat Gustaf. Mo got popped for roids

He beat Gustaf and they're training partners now.

Bader after Rampage rampages him?

Bader, Thiago Silva, Forrest

I like the Thiago fight. But he probably wrestle fucks him

Chicago crowd is terrible

All MMA shows should be held in Canada imo

Or Brazil.

yeah true only problem is their buy rate is really low there.

Not enough CM Punk
what the fuck is there to be excited about?
No one puts rashad in the corner
Rashad is so good at ALL facets

of MMA.

except bjj

i dont care about his black belt.

his bjj sucks

You don't appreciate his HOLES GRACIE BLACKBELT
And there's really no one he needs to worry about at 205 though, is there?

Is there a single BJJ-based fighter at Light Heavy?

His submission offense sucks. He’s never been submitted, knows how to regain guard, get back control, etc. He’s got good jiu-jitsu in the sense of control.

he can stifle jiu jitsu well for sure
You're fucking high.
watch the Thiago Silva fight and tell me that again
Dude was tired to be fair.
okay......
I also don't remember the fight really. Wasn't it boring as shit?
Until Thiago almost TKO'd Rashad in the third, yeah

snoozer

Give me a break.

I’ve seen that fight plenty of times. Evans has very good BJJ, as evidenced by his guard passing, positional control and the fact that he’s never been submitted in his career.

Head movement can be kinda weird at times, but yeah. Fantastic all-around fighter.
Great way to reverse the takedown.

Nice one Shad

Grappling is fun.
this is an ass beating

Davis not ready for prime time

davis wasn't ready for this
that was a fun little scramble.

Jesus, Davis looks atrocious.

He's getting sonned.

Is this how Jones will ragdoll Rashad?

Are you comparing Davis to Jones?
Rashad ios really fucking good.
Got shad by 3rd KO

Need some action

No Rashad!

keep this fight rolling. Daddy needs a decision.

Davis just dropped
It was a sloppy shot
Right on his knees in front of Shad

This is gonna be a turning the corner fight for Davis, similar to when Rashad got his ass beat by Machida

Welll...

How do you think the Rashad/Jones fight will go?

Davis wilted

Rashad broke his will.

Rashad’s shoulder blade is cut

Evans starting to look a little tired here
The veins on Davis' back are kinda freaking me out

Benson wishes he had thighs like that

Benson's thighs are wider than Davis's back

he should be doing head and shoulders commercials with troy palamalu or however you spell his name

Not enough for davis to win the round unless he does damage.
Rashad has this, as long as he doesn't get Machida'ed.
By whom? Machida is in Brazil, man.
gah it looks like Phil is in over his head

i wondered if this was too big a step up in competition for phil.

Pretty even round? srsly Goldie?
Davis is broken.
he just got a takedown
insert Iori Yagami win quote here

30-27 Rashad

fucking davis give up already

Davis has to finish to win this now. And fuck no 3rd round TKO no 11 pts.

30-27 Rashad.

That round was closer, but not by much.

Rashad is gassing too now though

Can’t wait til Jones chokes him to death.

pretty grappling centric contest though

closer round, but still Rashad's

30-27

Prediction-davis going for takedowns next 2 rds.
Hopefully he gets a swift uppercut for his troubles.
damn this fight is sucking
This has been better than the other 2
30-27 Evans.

I wonder if Evans is playing it safe so he doesn’t break anything again.

I think id rather see Jones vs henderson now

Davis isn't ready

clearly has talent, but not there yet.

Feeling good about my pick

Rashad Evans

Fight ends in round 4

KO / TKO

as long as he finishes the fight, I’m happy.

Me too, I had a 2nd round TKO.
You guys really think these wrestling-heavy and sloppy-striking matches are winning over new fans?

I’m not so sure.

Sonnen/Bisping was good

It was OK, for guys like us.. I don’t think it got a rise out of casuals

I hope not.

I want the UFC to implode and MMA to disappear from the major scene. Go back to regional shows with no-talent hacks.

I want to see more Pit Fighters in the UFC

That’s not my point, I’m just wondering if they made a mistake with the matchmaking here.

They have to realize it hurts their PPV market if they hold back on their best fighters and matchups and show the public this kind of thing.

Hasnt been the worst card but we are all used to watching sengoku and dream for hours on end, to the casual fan this is about as exciting as a Klitschko boxing match.

They're holding back on their best fighters?

Sonnen, Bisping, Davis, Rashad, Maia? Those are big names.

Other than Sonnen vs Bisping, i cant really say this card delivered in terms of public awareness.

That’s what I´m saying, this is supposed to be their first major show on FOX, and this is the best they can do. I’m enjoying the fights alright enough but if I was a new fan I would have already switched the channel

this is what the sport is. If the sport can’t survive it won’t. Showing them this is better than showing them rock’em sock’em robots and then charging them 50 bucks to see this.

Of course it will survive it. I’m just saying, booking 5 out of 6 wrestlers / grapplers for their first FOX card I have to question (+ no title fights). The masses love them some STAND N BANG!

If this is doing nothing else

it’s getting me even more excited about Bones-Rashad

If Rashad gasses and loses

this card will have been as bad as possible.

still looks pretty sharp

Davis’s mouth is wide open though. I need him to survive another 7 minutes.

Would Chael vs. Anderson be better if it was on FOX?
Davis throwing punches makes me laugh

It looks like someone duct taped sand bags to his hands.

The comparison in hand speed is so one sided
Davis just can't gauge the distance
I think he can gauge it

he just doesn’t like getting popped in the face every time he tries to close – Evans is just to quick with that jab

when Phil is tired as fuck and struggling he looks like Leon from curb your enthusiasm

You gotta get in that ass Larry

Imma go up to my room and eat this fucking chinese food thats what im gonna do

hindsight these 3 fights probably weren't the best choices for a FOX show

if Condit vs Diaz had been the main event instead of Davis vs Evans i imagine the UFC would gain a lot more fans

then again i doubt Dana would ever risk putting nick diaz on network TV
No matter how much he needs a knockout, davis aint gonna outstrike him, getting sloppy-gotta go back to basics
Rashad IS the better wrestler!
Tell me about how Rashad is going to beat Jones now...

LOL

Fox should have put UFC 142 on free tv. they would have made millions of new fans

you really think they want the diaz's on network tv again?
Take the back, FINISH HIM
the first fox show might have had only 1 minute of fighting, but that 1 minute was better than all 3 fights so far tonight
FOX is not going to book any more wrestlers on the main card
Spinning elbow? DAVIS IS NOT JONES, JOE
wow

this card has sucked several dicks. Dunham/Lentz was the only fight I’ve enjoyed

Russow Einemo was a barnburner

as in I wanted to lock myself in a barn I just set on fire instead of continuing to watch that fight

Room for one more?

its a big barn come on in
really? I enjoyed every prelim fight except JOE vs Russow

you enjoyed shane roller vs michael johson? and lavar johnson vs joey beltran (before the KO)?

roller/johnson was the shits
yep, Johnson vs Beltran was a fun sloppy HW scrap

i mean there was a body shot knockdown like a minute into the fight, what’s not to like about that?

As far as Johnson vs Roller yea it wasn’t FOTN, but i enjoyed it.

Rashad's never been 5 rounds right?

He’s tired, but he’s still setting the pace in the fight which is impressive.

Well...

At least this card wasn’t pay-per-view…

Look out for that spinning elbow?

It’s Phil Davis not Jon Jones

They look the same to Joe
five rounds of this?

channels changing around the world

To to toe for 20 minutes? Good fight for Davis?

FUCK I HATE ROGAN AND GOLDBERG.

Eh, It's been good for him

in the sense that he hasn’t looked completely outclassed, but he has some work to do before he’s ready to compete at the highest level, especially when he’s got someone on top of him

Rashad pitching a shutout here

With a knuckleball
Rashad is RA Dickey

Will he improve that much, or basically say the same for here on out, making minor improvement here and there?

Anyone who think Rashad has a prayer of beating Jones is a lunatic.
If you believe jones only advantage is his physique then this does have a little relevance

How you win matters, look how Rashad has won his last 5 fights and how Jones has won.

I see you keep saying this. Why? He’s severely outwrestling one of the best in the world.

My Over/Under on 45 minutes of actual main card fighting

Is WAY over.

Man Davis' footwork has been awful
its like hes fighting on ice
40-36 Rashad

Condit and Diaz should have been on this damn show

While I agree,

I don’t think Diaz could resist the urge to say “fuck” in the post fight interview.

agreed. hard to justify the PPV price to see that 1 fight for me

> nick diaz
> network tv

yea, that doesnt sound like a good idea

Rashad isn't gonna touch Jones.
all you next-fight prognosticators

chael doesn’t have a chance against anderson, rashad can’t touch jones

fuck offfffff

We're here to discuss, no?

Fuck offfffffff

Bad choice to main event Fox
all three were bad choices

to show on Fox

All of these fights have sucked

For shame ZUFFA

They are decent fights on paper. Can't control the outcomes of these fights. That's life.
actually some of this i saw coming

Weidman vs Maia
- neither guy is terribly exciting, and the only way they finish people is by sub, and i didn’t think anyone was going to get subed in this fight

Sonnen vs Bisping
- despite what Sonnen might say he doesnt not have a fan friendly style, before the stann fight when was the last time he actually finished someone?

second fight was fun

but not a classic, and not enough to make-up for the other two sloppy snoozefests

Rashad needs go into safe cruise control now and net daddy a nice 11 points.
Rashad's parrying every punch.
Look's like Davis is hitting mitts
Well Goldie I hope Bones is watching this fight closely

He has to give his analysis of the fight after it’s over.

hope someone made some notes for him

Goldberg's rhetoric is so fucking exhausting
i'm not going to lie, as an MMA fan i'm a little embarassed right now

The wife has said this has been a boring fox event. But she also said the fuel card was good. Shes the ultimate casual

I see no challenge for Jones here
The challenge for him here is sitting through this fight.

queue rim shot

Ouch Phils ankle is bleedinnnn

Shin rather, thats painful as fuck

Isn't it in the same place he opened it before?
that's what i was thinking

he has tissue shins

this reminds me of boxing

when fighters take warm up fights to “get some rounds in.”

Welp, Dana, you wanted longer fights.

PHILS SHIN IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN HE IS WEARING THE CRIMSON SOCK!!!!!!!!!

CALL CURT SCHILLING!!!
Better than a pink sock.
need some lightweights and featherweights on a fox card soon!
i dont know why they did have any smaller guys on these cards

you have to build up those division and they produce exiting fights. it makes too much sense.

Miller/Diaz is on the next card
Dont finish him Rashad!

other than condit vs diaz, this is the shitty card for feb 4th

-Roy Nelson (16-6) vs. Fabricio Werdum (14-5-1; #7 Heavyweight)
-Josh Koscheck (16-5; #6 Welterweight) vs. Mike Pierce (13-4)
-Renan Barao (17-1) vs. Scott Jorgensen (13-4)
-Ed Herman (19-8) vs. Clifford Starks (8-0)

I dont give a single fuck about any of these fights.

Barao/Jorgenson is huge
what planet do you live on dude?

Barao will win, get a titleshot, dont really need to see that

But he'll do it spectacularly

Gifs gonna gif

You don't care about Renan Barao v. Jorgensen?

I don’t know how you can’t be excited for Barao/Jorgensen. That should be pretty exciting.

jorgenson is a dead-end fighter

isn’t going to challenge for the title

neither ar 99.9% of fighters in the world, if that’s your requirement for a fight to watch it’s not worth trying to please you.

im excited for Barao, and i know he will beat jorgensen, but i will save my money to see Barao fight for the title.

Seriously

Clifford Starks on the main card? For the Super Bowl card? Fuck that.

what in the fuck?!?!

Well, I like Barao – Jorgensen and Werdum – Nelson. The others are not PPV worthy though, especially the Herman – Starks one (fucking joke)

I love how Kos/Pierce isn't PPV worthy

You guys fail to amaze me

It’s not a very exciting fight. I hope Pierce wins but I’m not really a fan of either of them.

I'm thinking it'll be mediocre stand-up galore

Well, Kos is definitely a PPV fighter. Not so sure about Pierce though. ’

I think Pierce beats Kos

I said it

2 mins Davis, survive
Might of well had GSP headline this card...

Bones wrecks rashad

Fuck. Should've picked Evans.
What happened to the HD?
I'm actually kind of interested in the Evans/Bones fight.

It’s hard to see it as competitive, but maybe Shad can wear Bones down through his constant working while grappling.

He's gotta close the distance tho and that's gonna be tough

Well, I think Bones can easily when the striking game just based on diversity of attacks alone, but if he’s afraid of Rashad’s power, he may try to outgrapple him. While he most likely will, Rashad will probably prove difficult to finish and Bones could wear himself down in the process. But, I won’t be picking against Jon.

*easily win the striking game
Jones is an infinitely better MMA grappler than both men in there tonight

I don’t know if I’d go that far. But yeah. He knows how to use his reach within the clinch well. And once he gets on the ground he has an unparalleled killer instinct.

Rashad should pull an anderson silva and start dancing
or pull a Nick Diaz and call out Jones like a madman.
Get them in the cage together tonight again!
so is jones gonna ruin his special night?
What would be the point?

Evans can’t honestly believe he can beat Jones. He might fake an injury and then just drop to 185.

from DFW twitter

Sub of the Night Oliveira, KO Lavar Johnson, FON Dunham vs. Lentz. Each guy gets $65k. Congrats guys!

Lentz getting FOTN is crazy

No it isnt

It was enjoyable as fuck

well i just mean given all the shit he takes for being so boring and to see the fighter he is now. crazy.

yeah but now he is losing
declaring the bonuses before the main event eneds? LOL
C"DB"O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't see the Johnson KO,

was it as great as Swanson’s mouthpiece flying KO?

i liked it

I love me some guys crumbling KO’s

No harm done. Davis just isn't ready for this level

He can go back down to the Vera, T. Silva, Bader level guys and work back up.

Will he or has he reached his potential?

His hands are sooooo slow
I think he can improve

He only has 10 fights, and he still has the look of a wrestler that’s still trying to figure out his striking and fighting from his back

I just broke a huge pilsner glass and cut my finger and foot

And I still look better than these guys.

Will Davis ever be a top 5 fighter?

I think so...eventually
Thankfully it's over.
I think that this is good for Davis....he'll come back...and be better because of this
Where have I heard this before?
Yes.

Gimme those 11.

Hendo vs Jones pls.
11 more points

Still have just 33

Not my night

That's, like, three points worse than my last one.

I feel for ya, bro.

5 more points then
Really impressive performance by Rashad

I might be able to even talk myself into believing he’s going to give Bones some problems.

Wow.

So glad I didn’t change it to Rashad by tko. 43 points.

I think I’m at 53 points..ugh

54 here. Just started on playground, what’s good?

54

is a great score on this card

dunno about this card

I think a ton of people did shitty, but top scores are usually 70-80s

54 is probably really good for this card
50-45 Rashad. 11 points.

42 overall.

Beat you this time. ;)
Well I sucked pretty bad tonight. What's your score?
Haha. Likewise.

43.

Ha we're pretty tight again.
What are the points for...if you dont mind me asking

Team-based competition that was set up here, we pick mma fights on MMAPlayground.

Meh.
Pretty much how I feel
I thought it was pretty good.

Rashad might not be the guy to beat Jones, but he did look really good.

ugh

wtf rashad.. where was 2.0 :(
so not convinced that he could take out jones, but he was avoiding tons of strikes atleast

I just lost my signal
Davis scored a Capoeira KO

it was awesome.

Barboza had nothing on him
PHIL DAVIS NEXT CHAMP
That's another stanky leg too

Great finish

I think that's 55 total for me

could be worse for a short card

At least this card had a Big Johnson
rashad not rdy for jones

that fight just showed me if he couldnt close the distance on davis to do enough damage really, how in the fuck is he going to close the distance on jonny bones…..i dont see how rashad can win the fight

i don't mean to be a debbie downer, but this was easily the worst main event since UFC 119 Mir vs Cro Cop

even GSP vs Shields was better than this

I didn’t think it was that bad. It was interesting, if not exciting, and Rashad probably didn’t get injured, so the Jones fight is still intact.

That's just blasphemy I;m afraid
it sucked

But GSP/Shields was such an energy sucker after the rest of the card. This whole card sucked imo

yea, UFC 129 was so amazing up until that fight, but at least GSP knocked shields down a couple of times

44 pointz for me

No special nights ruined again me thinks

No finishes on this card and it went over, last card 1 min finish and that was it, not please with either Fox card.

This fight was a barn painter

Dumb question,

but what happened with Jacoby/Camozzi?

3rd round guillotine by camozzi

Jacoby tapped in the 3rd
Wasn't televised or shown online.
it sure would be nice if the ufc would be foty type stuff on fox

i know you cant anticipate these things, but pretty much everyone going into this fight would tell you that this fight wasnt going to be a barnburner.

Beside that the commentary with Jones was bad, cut back on that stuff and add another fight.

what are the chances that Jon Jones ruines rashads "special night"?
nah, he is busy spinning in his charing with uncle randy
*chair, jesus im not even drunk
0

because jon jones left the building 15 minutes ago

phil davis was robbed

and bisping

30-27 was ridiculous and you know it.
It was also the opinion of only one judge
Chael won a close decision because the UFC wanted Sonnen/Silva 2...

Which should be hilarious unless Chael hits up the TRT

if i didn't know better i'd say you were accusing the UFC of fixing fights
No, I don't think they fix fights

I think the Judges (and everyone else) thought that Sonnen would kill Bisping and they let that color their perception of the fight. (UFC judges are historically bad) And they would have been right when he was undergoing TRT. But now, he looked smaller and gassed. Maybe he didn’t prepare well for the fight, but he looked diminished from before. If he shows up in this shape, the Silva fight will be fun to watch.

That monkey will be off your back Rashad

But you wont have a face

Worse card than Strikeforce: Nashville

Actually easily worse.

at least Mayhem and Diaz made the ending interesting.

plus Shields beating Hendo was a huge upset

REMEMBER!!!!

Inebriated Roth on BE Radio

We need a link on the front page!!!
Jones is leaning like a boss
jon jones is a fake fuck

what was that?

He sounded a little forced at the end, but he is eager to fight rashad
Jones hand was shaking.

Told everyone in the room. No one believed me. I rewinded it and proved it. He looked and sounded very nervous.

As in camera shy or nervous to fight Rashad?
He's awkward on camera

You’d probably be worse. And you aren’t even the top fighter in the light heavyweight division.

He was totally fine on Jay Leno (?), anyways a couple of late talk shows. I think he was just nervous of the situation.

Rashad

looked pretty good

OK,

Jones can’t be in front of the camera ever again.

Dana will never put PPV quality fights on Fox.
lolwhut?

so far he’s put a championship fight and two #1 contender fights. What do you want?

Agreed

They might not have been aesthetically pleasing, but there have been nothing BUT important fights on Fox

where have you been? We voted above that 5 vs 7 is not a PPV quality for the 4th fight from the top.

Exactly.

Evans/Davis wasn’t a barnburner, but it’s a huge fight still. And Sonnen/Bisping is a great co-main.

I thought the Cain JDS was PPV, but we only got the one fight.

And wasnt this fight gonna be on Vs before the fox deal?

what do you call tonight and UFC on Fox 1?
Jones will kill Rashad
Jonathan Bones is weird.
kenny florin

great way to end the night.

I'd rather watch Alcatraz than this shit
I'd rather watch switched at birth.

I do rather enjoy that show.

ready for some post-ufc discussion

and something that isn’t BE radio?

I just dislocated my toe

From watching Bones break down the fight. Solid performance by Hashad, though.

what a downer that card was

Not even drunken Roth can rescue this one. Good night children

I only got the main card, only 1 good fight for me then, mr b vs mr s

At least some good fights to look forward to in the future.

Point totals are up already.

average was 42

And crazybones and dribblebib beat the juggalo. The world is starting to balance out.

Yus!

I don’t know if I can keep this up. Here’s to hopin’.

I noticed earlier today you were listed first in the team roster page because you have the highest picking percentage. Granted, it’s not a high total number of picks, but you’re on a roll.

*fight camp roster page
nice

not bad for missing the hot bout

Wow

Playground is on top of it tonight. With that said, 37 points, urgh

Fucking Subevil

can make a fanshot but not picks.

I've got the BECW scores in 5 minutes

Want me to do a quick fanpost with the results or just post them here and do a proper recap tomorrow?

Post them here...

Take your time on the recap as long as you include all the normal awesome stuff.

what a shit night of picks. i’m embarrassed

Proper recap tomorrow.
Meanwhile on Spike

UFC Unleashed is about to run Shad/Page

I have succeeded in staying less shitty than krcampbellsoup
Anyone else want to see Henderson fight at 185 again?

After he fights Jones at 205 of course…

Hell no.
I meant after he loses his next fight at 205
Not even after that.

He looks much better at 205, I don’t think 185 is a good weight for him anymore.

Well, SIlva only has a couple fights left in his career and I think Henderson could step in until the next superstar shows up
rashad should have gone for the kill, phil had nothing for him

not a bad fight for phil though

lost every round but didn’t look like a fool
