WE AREEEEEEEEEEEE LIVE!
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
Bishop, are you going to interview C.M. Punk at UFC on Fox 2?
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
I’ll co-host. Book it.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Hello gents! To me the most interesting part was Rumble said he was at 215 pounds right now. Good recap by the way Brian, don’t know how you can describe all that nonsense.
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
transcribe*
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
UBER-RUMBLE
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Yeeeahhh, still....
everytime I see this I am in amazement of how he ever made 170. With 15 less lbs. to cut, Rumble should be beastly at middleweight.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
I'm glad to see him FINALLY fight opponents his own size.
I’ve always thought it was ridiculous he fought at welterweight0. It’s not like he was ever running through the division.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Yeah, same. I’m actually intrigued to see him at MW now.. BEAST!
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Does the winner of that Fight get an Interim Title Shot?
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
Over/Under
100k viewers on FUEL for UFC on FUEL 1.?
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
ill take under
Adam Reichental - January 5, 2012
Could be a commission issue
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
No way Pierce / Kos is getting a title shot unless everyone else gets injured.. it’s either going to be Sanchez / Ellenberger, or Hendricks.
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Brian
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
Hemmi.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
MacDonald just ragdolled Nate Diaz in his last fight....
pretty sure he can handle a step up from Che Mills.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
actually
TKO’d Mike Pyle after that
Brian Hemminger - January 5, 2012
Oh yeah....
in the first round even!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Brian did it!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Brian is skyping
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Gotcha!
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
How far in the undercard do you think Jon Fitch will be in his next fight?
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
I would not be surprised to see him be the opening spot on the PPV
and it would probably be lower, if not for what the guys mentioned before, about making 60K to show.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
fuel is pretty common
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Not really.
That’s why everyone is saying “no one has FUEL TV.” Obviously “millions of homes” have access, but many people who have the channel aren’t UFC fans, and many others aren’t even aware they have it. FUEL TV was the “quid pro quo” part of the FOX deal.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Come on guys....
Bellator level views for your first show, on a weak channel, that’s nothing to scoff at.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Jon Fitch vs. Matt Hughes? Jon Fitch vs. Brian Ebersole? Jon Fitch vs. Claude Patrick?
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Oh my lord
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
Called it…
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
I hear that sound whenever Fitch’s name is mentioned anyways.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Put Jon Fitch on the Fuel TV undercard
against Rick Story
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Ebertroll would be awesome too
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Pyle does hold a win over Fitch
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
Or, if you really want to get rid of Dan Hardy, get him Fitched.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Oh my sweet infant baby jesus.....
so terrible.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Lorenzo likes fighters that war tho
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
have fitch fight condit after he loses to diaz next month!!!
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Rick Story deserves the punishment for what he does to his sparring partners
plus, his grinding style could negate Fitch’s Fitching style.
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
They should just offer Fitch Koscheck,
and offer nothing else. Period.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Fight Kos or retire. Perfect. Keeps him perpetually under contract .
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Matt Serra’s retirement fight against Jon Fitch. Serra might have to fight Anthony Johnson at MW if he stays at the weight he is at currently though…
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
WOW
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
Matt “The Carb Terra” Serra
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Serra's at "pastaweight" for the rest of his life.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
this pic isn't showing up for me... rehost plz?
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Here you go Rob.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
that's the same link
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
here we go, uploaded to imgur
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
So you rehosted and reposted the pic.. for yourself to view?
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Lol when he wrote “rehost” I assumed it was a typo. Interpretation fail.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Beat Bob Sapp in a Kickboxing fight last year
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
WATCH IT, MATT!
JÖRGEN KRUTH IS A GOD DAMNED HERO IN SWEDEN
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Multiple time Muay Thai world champion, had a ton of fights in K-1 back in the day. Popular guy at least in Sweden.
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Jorgen Kruth vs. Jon Fitch…?
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
You just chanted USA 3x....
I expect Matt Roth to pop his head in at any moment now.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
doesn’t seem like a bad card to me, just checked it out only 4 guys on the card I couldn’t pick out of a line up, plus when they add gustafsson the show will rock!!
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Brian Stann vs. Alessio Sakara!
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
“An American Hero in Sweden” starring Brian Stann!
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
I'll take Jardine by some freak occurrence
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Yeah I’m not very psyched about Stann, can’t imagine he’s very popular with Swedish fans in general.. the whole war hero thing does nothing for us, as you’d might imagine.
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
Uncle Chael doesn’t want you, Brian Stann.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Dana White’s next idea: Alistair Overeem vs. Matt “Cabbage” Roth in India.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Germany would make more sense
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
ian loveland vs danny downes in africa?
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
If that fight happens,
Downes will blind not only his his opponent, but the audience as the sunlight hits him.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Omigawa/Mendes 2 in England
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Tiequan Zhang fighting on a Japan card…oh wait!
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
"ehhh japanese, chinese, it's all the same, they all have slanted eyes"
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Kahn Souphanousinphone: “I’m Laotian…from Laos!”
Hank Hill: “So…are you Chinese or Japanese?”
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
That was the moment I fell in love with that show.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Bring Troops over from Germany?
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
UFC Fight for the Troops…in England!
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Cro Cop vs. Big Nog.... ON THE SUN!!!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
lol wut
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Fedor 2011 vs Fedor 2005 in a time vortex!
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
This will put the “did Fedor decline or just fail to evolve” questions to rest once and for all.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
nah M-1 would duck '05 Fedor, shit would never happen
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Nice.
M-1 Global vs M-1 MixFight would also be a good battle: who could out-shiest the other?
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
are they going to add gustaffson to the sweden card?
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
No gravity X-ARM
BOOK IT!!!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Zero gravity X-ARM
BOOK IT!!!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Kalib Starnes in zero gravity would be SICK NASTY.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
is ufc 142 going to be on a tape delay, or will the show be live?
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
live
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
We can't stop here...
this is bat country!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
God…this might be the best episode ever.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Plently of ridiculousness to go around!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
hell yaaaaa!!! go lions!
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012

god DAMN
@ :34
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
god damn is right!!
right onto his face; wow!
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
with the points of course>>>
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Payan
Was brutally KOed in BELLATOR’s first season by a spinning backfist.
William Wilson - January 5, 2012
Don’t put any salt in your popcorn, Bishop. Your tears will provide enough sodium for your Strikeforce snack if you cry into the bowl from your Lions loss.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Lions drilling the Saints into the ground?
bwaaaaahahahaha they couldn’t beat a headless Chicago Bears corpse of a team
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
has jardine ever fought at WW before?
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
No
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
sorry middle weight
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
He has not
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
How about Jon Anik on commentary?!
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
When/Where?
Looking forward to hearing him in that capacity, I think he does great work.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
I believe he was on that Bellator clip.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Gotcha
I thought you were referring to one of the upcomming UFC events.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Anik and Rich Franklin were doing some kind of commentary all the way through UFC 141 (which we didn't hear)
Anyone know what the deal is with that and what they’re doing with it?
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
I picture Brian sitting on a fence at night singing to the moon during Bellator’s offseason.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
I was thinking more along the lines of cryogenic freezing.
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
I just watched that KO, seemed like a lucky shot to me…
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Adlan Amagov's awesome spinning hook kick KO in case you missed it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76JMb-mF8OQ
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
gotta watch out for the left hand, caught him right on the button
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
he’s got power and a full foot of reach>>>
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Cardio is a great weapon for a fighter if they can really push it in training. You can drown an opponent with it. I think it’s a big factor in the confidence of Nick Diaz.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Great point
“Gotcha now, bitch!”
- Nick Diaz (as he throws his 157th strike)
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
His opponents always visibly gas by round 3 while he’s just getting warmed up. It’s a big factor.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Woodley almost got caught in a Daley omoplata…I don’t trust that.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
bwaaahahaha
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
like a sword, a cardio-sword???
jbmoviefan - January 5, 2012
Bas Rutten always says cardio is the most important thing, because it’s the only thing you can control for a fight.. or something like that.
Horselover Fat - January 5, 2012
What does King Mo do after this fight? His contract is up in february and he has more value in the UFC in my opinion.
MattParker117 - January 5, 2012
So he goes to the UFC. If his contract is up Showtime has no say right?
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Larkin by KO. Just because.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Do you guys have any idea what Jon Anik and Rich Franklin were doing cageside with headsets on doing PBP for all of UFC 141?
Rob Young - January 5, 2012
Practice.
Jon Anik is calling the UFC on Fuel events, I believe. I don’t know if Franklin will be his broadcast partner or not.
SteveevaD - January 5, 2012
Anik has been doing dry runs on PBP for the last several events.
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
Brian Hemminger believes Phil Baroni has cardio. Brian Hemminger believes Chael Sonnen didn’t really lose to Anderson Silva. Brian Hemminger believes Josh Barnett is clean.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
haha, ok, I don't believe EVERYTHING a fighter says
Brian Hemminger - January 5, 2012
But does he believe Hector Lombard could beat Anderson Silva?
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Oh…here comes another Bishop dirty stare towards Brian Hemminger after Lawler pummels Amagov.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Lawler’s only 29 and hasn’t taken TOO much damage over the years. He really does need to use his wrestling though: it’s LOOOOOOONG overdue.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Considering he fought at heavyweight…damn.
mountaineers101 - January 5, 2012
Who will look more depleted at 185, James Irvin or Keith Jardine?
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Irvin
No doubt. Jardine at least is doing the Dolce Diet.
Matt Bishop - January 5, 2012
I don't think anyone can look worse than Irvin
Brian Hemminger - January 5, 2012
It will be interesting to see. Jardine was a pretty big 205er.
Machiel Van - January 5, 2012
Thanks everyone for listening!
