Dustin West with a kick to the liver and follows it up with BOMBS! Stoney Hale is in the fetal position and Dustin West is just murdering his face with punches. The ref was incredibly late on that stoppage. Hale's face got murdered with punches.

Knees to the body by Oselukwue and then some knees to the head. Oselukwue just knocked Gallegos out with right hand. He followed up with a single shot while Gallegos was exploring the 4th dimension.

Chase Gormley vs Brandon Sayles
Round 1: Sayles lands a quick jab. Gormley with a slow takedown and looked more like Sayles tripping than an actual wrestling maneuver. Gormley quickly gets mount but he escapes with butterfly guard. Gormley is working from halfguard and dropping elbows and passes to side control. Sayles is like a turtle. This isn't a good fight. Sayles throws his legs up and has an inverted triangle but he can't finish it. Sayles regains his feet and he's trying to work his boxing. Gormley slips a punch and lands a counter. Overhand right from Gormley as the round ends. 10-9 Gormley.
Round 2: Oh the fights are back. Gormley with a solid kick to the body and he looks incredibly awkward when throwing it. Gormley fails on a takedown as Sayles side steps it. Gormley throws an unsuccessful overhand. The Voice calls this fight boring and he's underselling it to viewers. This isn't a good fight. Gormley unsuccessful on another takedown. Sayles finally pushing the fight to a brawl. He's battering Gormley with punches. This really is like two manatees fighting. Imagine manatees throwing punches with their little seacow hands. That's this fight. Ugh.
Round 3: Woah! These guys get three rounds? YIKES! Gormley got a takedown after Sayles was landing punches. Sayles working for a keylock against the cage to get back to his feet but he can't escape. Sayles is flat on his back and tries to escape. He can't. He's got 90 seconds left and he can't escape. His eyes are closed and he may be legitimately sleeping. It's what everyone else is doing after this terrible fight. Jeez this is still going on? There's 15 seconds left and this is gonna be Brandon Sayles first lost. This wasn't a good fight! 10-9 Gormley.
Official Result: Chase Gormley def Brandon Sayles by Unanimous Decision.
Len Cook vs Chris Wright
Round 1: Wright doubles up his jab and Cook responds with a leg kick/right hand combination. They clinch up and Wright lands an elbow to the ear. They are fighting for position against the cage and it is Wright who appears to be stronger in the clinch. WTF happened to the camera? Okay we're back with shots of the fighters. Cook attempted a throw and ends up on his back with Wright landing short punches to the face. Cook is attempting submissions and broke Wright's posture down. Three right hands land and Mike Cook is bleeding. Wright is super active on the ground.
Round 2: Wright in southpaw and he clinches up against the cage. Wright trips Cook to the ground and Cook has a leg lock. Wright rolls out and is safe in Cook's guard. Wright is landing some solid punches. Cook continues to threaten submissions but he's not close to finishing anything. Cook has broken down Wright's posture momentarily. Wright explodes with punches that continue to batter the bloody Cook. Cook trying to play rubber guard but he can't keep Wright locked down. Ref stands the fighters up with 10 seconds left and there's the horn.
Round 3: How did XFC afford a crane? Cook accidentally kicks Chris Wright in the groin. Cook shoots for a takedown and Wright clinches up and spins him into the cage. He's unsuccessful on all takedowns and hasn't figured out how to chain a second attempt together. Cook pulled guard and he's gonna get punched in the face again. Cook regained his feet and tried a suplex but Chris Wright gets back to his feet. Round ends with the fighters clinched. This is a clear win for Chris Wright.
Official Result: Chris Wright def. Len Cook by Unanimous Decision
Heather Clark vs Marianna Kheyfets
Round 1: Clark with a solid kick to the thigh. Marianna clinches and is on the receiving end of some knees to the stomach. Kheyfets lands a couple straight punches and follows it up with an inside thigh kick. Heather Clark lands a kick to the liver. Kheyfets landing some pretty combinations. Marianna is stalking Clark and landing. Clark gets the takedown and is working from the top as the round ends. Heather Clark's eye is a MESS!
Official Result: Marianna Kheyfets def. Heath Clark by Doctor Stoppage
Josh Samman vs Mikey Gomez
Round 1: Josh Samman lights Gomez up with punches early but Gomez survives and shoots a takedown. Samman works against the cage and is able to sprawl out and put Gomez on his back. Samman is going HAM with punches from the top and does the DOUBLE PUNCH! Gomez flips Samman but can't get back to his feet. Samman is back to punching from the top. Gomez looked for a leg lock but Samman rolls through and takes Gomez' back. He's going BUCK WILD WITH PUNCHES! The ref stops the fight after what seems like eternity.
Official Result: Josh Samman def. Mikey Gomez by TKO
Drew Fickett vs Jamie Varner
Round 1: Varner lands a big punch that drops Fickett and Varner is just punching his face from the top. Fickett is trying to defend but Varner is relentless. Fickett turtles up and taps.

The Crushen Russian is fighting again

Elitex10x - February 10, 2012
Hm. Agree to disagree, I suppose.
BVandDietPepsi - February 10, 2012
just looked like she had potential last time technique looked sharp but not too much action went on.
Elitex10x - February 10, 2012
Marianna Kheyfets's last fight from XFC 14 is making the Top-250.
She’’s a spirited lass, so I’m hoping that fight won’t suck.
BVandDietPepsi - February 10, 2012
Fun to watch.

Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Yeah, we have weekly fun stuff like that all the time. I’m trying to be quick on the draw with reporting news and it is a good time.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
Double punch of death time.
Rutager - February 10, 2012
Lol, Chase Gormley. Such doodoo.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
We need a drinking game for when the Voice calls fights.
Rutager - February 10, 2012
AND ITS GOOD NIGHT IRENE
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Thats 5 drinks right there.
Rutager - February 10, 2012

Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Yea.
Rutager - February 10, 2012
On the contrary..
He’s marrying her next weekend. True story.
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
He left Irene?
for shame.
Rutager - February 10, 2012
No, they just weren't married yet
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
This stage makes me think of old WWF Attitude era stages.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
I’m going to get up super early so I can try to get a free ONE FC stream from Middle Easy.

Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Stoney Hale sounds like a carefree name…
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
Sounds like a dogs name, here Stoney boy.
Rutager - February 10, 2012
How come HD Net doesn’t have ring girls with painted shirts? I wouldn’t mind boring decisions if it meant more rounds.
( . Y . ) - February 10, 2012
late stoppage much? holy fudge
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
DAMNIT STONEY HALE!
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
Poor Stoney.
Rutager - February 10, 2012
What the fuck was that ref looking at?
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
Imokay with that fight stopping anytime after he fell to the ground
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Man was full fetal
And the ref is just looking at him.
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
he also needs a t shirt that fits
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
He was looking at a spot on the floor like Johnny Ace was when he ate that GTS from Punk.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
He beat the hail out of Stoney.

This is the picture to sum up that stoppage

Some dude just tweeted Schiavello saying…well, here it is.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
Double punch guy goes to co-main event off a loss in a Bellator prelim? Uh…sounds good to me!
Psyched: 5Dimes has him at +160.
War Josh Samman!
( . Y . ) - February 10, 2012
worth a punt?
The guy hes fighting has lost to War Machine
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
One of the people from Gal’s Guide was at his last fight and could probably answer that better. I’ve only seen his highlight reel. His Bellator fight was a dark match.
( . Y . ) - February 10, 2012
Sick hair bro.
Anthony Peer - February 10, 2012
Sick tattoos bro.
Anthony Peer - February 10, 2012
Nate Jolly is a fighter as well, right?
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
Yeah, got that answered. He got beat by Varner I believe.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
OHHHHH SHIT!!!!!
Rutager - February 10, 2012
Woot XFC!!!

UFC Champ 42O - February 11, 2012
awesome
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
dude was OUT
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
WTF!
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
I thought he was dead.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
He actually retired from acting a few years after his wife died to take care of his kids.
Tim Bernier - February 10, 2012
(Obvious Honey I Shrunk the Kids joke)
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
Resists temptation to make joke about Shrinking his kids
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Here's the photo for the KO
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
Rats. Gotta head out for the evening.
War BE member Josh Samman!
Have a good night, all.
( . Y . ) - February 10, 2012
Two reasons I'm watching
To root for Samman and Varner. Now, I don’t like Varner, but I would like to see him make it back to the UFC to get smashed and sent home again.
slapjaw ackrite - February 10, 2012
People are WAY too hard on Varner
I like him as a fighter and I think he’s a decent dude. Gets such a bad rap..
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
Yeah, you're right
I guess I just didn’t like the crybaby bs from the first Cerrone fight. But he is normally in some exciting fights. I like having people to root against, you know? His personality isn’t bland like most cookie-cutter “I respect my opponent its gonna be a war” types.
slapjaw ackrite - February 10, 2012
I think it's the glasses, and not knowing how to behave when he realized he couldn't fight anymore in the Cerrone fight
I think he was humiliated that he couldn’t continue, especially with Cerrone goading him on, so it made him look a LOT worse than reality. He’s really not that cocky. Funny thing is, Cerrone is WAAAAAAY cockier (like both guys, personally), but doesn’t get the same shit because he’s more natural about it than Varner. Varner is a strange mix of confident and confused. I thought he deserved to be in the UFC after the merger, so I always root for his return. Very talented fighter.
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
Well, for me I thought that the knee was a way out for him
the way he talked after about his foot and his hand or whatever it was. It seemed to me like he knew he had the fight won and didn’t want to continue for the other reasons…even though that knee was pretty nasty, and definitely illegal. Either way, I would like to see him against better competition again, he is very talented and should have went with the merger. I didn’t understand why they didn’t bring him over also.
slapjaw ackrite - February 10, 2012
cool little segment
on Combatives program. Anyone else notice the Sgt throws punches from really low on his hips?
T.P. Grant - February 10, 2012
yeah something looked really weird about his punching
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Jay Glazer is an MMA trainer?
seems like he knows nothing about MMA
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Really?
He’s pretty knowledgable about MMA. He’s also not a real trainer— he and Couture run an MMA fitness program for pro athletes. I’d hardly call that being an MMA trainer.
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
Eh, he could run an LA Boxing probably.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
I’d never heard of him before he started doing events for the UFC so he just seems really awkward talking to Florian etc
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
He used to be on Fox Sports with Trigg
doing the old PRIDE shows. I always enjoyed them as a team.
slapjaw ackrite - February 10, 2012
like pride before Bas etc did them?
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
No, he wasn't at the shows commentating
it was kind of like Best of PRIDE is now. Glazer and Trigg instead of Kenda Perez., talking about the fights and fighters more in depth than she does.
slapjaw ackrite - February 10, 2012
At all?
Dude is a writer/sideline reporter for Fox/Fox Sports. Pretty well known in the US as an NFL guy. Has his ear to the ground for a lot of football rumblings. He’s close with Couture and they run a conditioning program for NFL players that is based on MMA training.
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
not from the US
maybe its just the fact I know hes an NFL commentator so I think he wouldnt know about MMA
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
I figured as much when you said you didn't know him
Yeah.. He’s got some history in MMA, and has been a staunch supporter of the sport for a long time, so I like him for that.
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
Jay Glazer needs to get banned from MMA.
Anthony Peer - February 10, 2012
Chase Gormley about to get faded.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
So I guess the weight cut was the reason Gormley got faded by Struve and Schaub ?
Anthony Peer - February 10, 2012
doesn't seem to be able to get to a hip
Gormley is doing a good job from the top
T.P. Grant - February 10, 2012
yeah the Sgt is grappling like a strong white belt from the bottom
T.P. Grant - February 10, 2012
WHAT UP T.P. GRANT!

Blue belt in BJJ?
And he’s a ‘pro’ fighter?
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
Hey now
I know some sick blue belts. For real.
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
I'm not taking away from Blue Belts
just that it’s rare.
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
hey Gray Maynard is a blue belt
depending on the school, they will only award belts for training done in BJJ, both gi and no gi. If a fighter focuses only on MMA grappling and no gi, they will advance more slowly through belt rank.
T.P. Grant - February 10, 2012
Yeah, and I know places like Jorge Gurgels gym don't reward belt rankings for anything but gi training
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
gi training does make all the difference
when I started out training, a guy who had done years of no gi started with me. He could roll with brown belts with no gi on, but with the gi on, I a two stripe white belt, could hang with him.
It took him about a year or so to really get his bearings in gi and now his experience is really paying off, but at first the gi stymied so much of his no gi background.
T.P. Grant - February 10, 2012
Really?
I thought it was pretty odd when I was told that. Didn’t realize it made that big a difference.
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
The gi made me hate BJJ sometimes
When you get used to just thrashing out of armbars and passing guard with relative ease, suddenly feeling glued to a ‘weaker’ man is extremely frustrating at times.
TheFilt - February 11, 2012
my instructor is over 60
and in the gi he can still dominate all of us 20 something blue belts and is able to hold off purple belts half his age.
to me that just shows the value of the lessons and techniques being taught
T.P. Grant - February 11, 2012
That guy sounds like the opposite of the guy I mention below
He learned to be super technical even in no gi because he’s not very big or strong.
Now that he’s rolling with it on, he looks like a bad ass blue belt. I’ve seen him get beautiful half guard sweeps against purple belts.
I’m the opposite. Gi’s make me want to cry. I go from a decent grappler to a super bitch.
TheFilt - February 11, 2012
for most schools
No gi = no belt.
That’s why no gi tournaments always say ‘novice’, ‘beginner’, ‘intermediate’ etc. instead of using belt ranking.
We have a white belt(my main/favorite training partner) at my school that is cleaning up the tournaments in the area. He won two gold medals a couple weeks ago.
Why? Because he started training seriously over two years ago, but can’t stand wearing a gi. The end result is a white belt who should probably be close to a purple belt by now.
TheFilt - February 11, 2012
In XFC?
Lot of talented BJJ practitioners in MMA history have NO belt. Not so rare..
Charles Awad - February 10, 2012
Yep
Overeem and Cerrone have a shit load of sub wins and no belts.
TheFilt - February 11, 2012
Check your email, btw.
TheFilt - February 11, 2012

Gotta look good in the cage
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
she gets it.
SDChief - February 11, 2012
That eye’s fuckin’ jacked
guyan84 - February 10, 2012
What just happened here???
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
Something happened to the girl on top while they were on the ground
and she started leaking blood. Don’t know what caused it tho
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
Hey, let's show a replay that shows absolutely nothing about the topic at hand!
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
Who knows
guyan84 - February 10, 2012
I have no idea how that eye got closed…but I’ll still happily cash that ticket.
Jesus H. Christ - February 10, 2012
The replay was very helpful tho
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
is the russian girl secretly good looking?
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
secretly?
Blows most WMMA participants out of the water.
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
didnt really notice at first
but she actually really pretty
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
yes, very. watch some of her other fights, consistently looks pretty
SDChief - February 11, 2012
Nice face, girls wth more muscles than me freak me out a bit though
guyan84 - February 10, 2012
if tha was the case I’d have to rule out every wmma fighter ever
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
And no one can stop your man crush on Cyborg
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
Cyborg really freaks me out, but because she could rip my head off
guyan84 - February 10, 2012
the rough sex possibilities are endless tho
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
Seems like she didn't want to stop?
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
To everyone who thinks Ronda Rousey or Meisha Tate is hot
That Russian girl is actually pretty, without having to qualify her as “pretty for a fighter”.
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
Youve just insulted all fans of big noses, terrible
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
Russian chick is pretty hot.
But how the fuck did that eye got shut like that? And now she’s showcasing her english skills, not bad actually :)
mmartsy - February 10, 2012
kheyfets is indeed attractive, and explosive, heck of a fighter for being 5 fights into career.
really like her.
SDChief - February 11, 2012

mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012

UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
That was fuckin brutal
Coulda sworn Gomez was out, woken up by another double punch and tapped to strikes.
Holy fuck Samman has alot of power in his GNP
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
seriously
every last bit of that ground and pound was brutal
Violent Newt - February 10, 2012
Wowzerz
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Nice from Miletich
“That’s called a double hillbilly hand smash”
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
was just about to type that
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
That was hilarious
Got a weird look from my girl when I started laughing…
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
Soon as the ref saw the samman smash, he knew he had to stop the fight
THought his gnp wasn’t from effective enough positions, so much of it and powerful enough to stop it though
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
i love that this guy posts on BE. We really attract awesome fighters.
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Yeah I honestly look forward to his post about this fight.
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
Front page that shit
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
me too
feel like I know the guy on a personal level
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Good performance
But Gomez is kinda crap
mmartsy - February 10, 2012
hell, least he was on a 3-fight streak
shouldve gotten on top with those two times he was carrying samman on his back, despite the great balance shown. that always looks really bizzarre
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
"When you choke them out it's painless.."
Shit, not where I train.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
choke him to death :|
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Is there any reason Varner shouldn't win this?
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
The best real win of his career was Razor Rob four years ago.
pdl - February 10, 2012
Good point
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
i'm gonna choke him...
i’m gonna choke him to death
Violent Newt - February 10, 2012
Love that he did some double punches.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Fickett is kind of insane
“I will choke him to death”
Elitex10x - February 10, 2012
which is the biggest/best promotion?
XFC, Legacy, Ring of Combat or Legend?
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
UFC
;P
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
oh no you didnt
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
:I
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
DEATH BY REAR NAKED CHOKE!
ONE OF US WILL DIE! AAAAAHHHHHH! NIGHTRIDER!!!!!
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
..
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Is it just me or does fickett just constantly have this haunted look in his eyes?
Also, is he any good these days?
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
Was Varner ever good?
pdl - February 10, 2012
He was the WEC champ
he beat Cowboy Cerrone. He had some success in the UFC
I’m not a fan of him but he was good when he was on his game.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
you tell me
didn’t really watch wec until right at the end
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
The answer is no.
He has a win over Cerrone when A) Cerrone was really raw and not great himself and B) he cheated stoppages by spitting his mouthpiece then gaming a foul for a technical decision he would have otherwise lost. Besides that, he has no notable wins. He’s known for being televised, not for being talented.
pdl - February 10, 2012
He knocked out Rob McCullough
He chocked out Jason Gilliam in the UFC (Gilliam is 11-2)
He knocked out Jesse Bongfeldt
The dude isn’t a world beater, but he’s had some solid wins.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
And he just knocked out Drew Fickett
quick.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Fourth guy in a row to stop him.
Congrats.
pdl - February 10, 2012
Fickett shouldn't be fighting at this point.
I’m beginning to worry about his health. Not that he had many brain cells to begin with, but he doesn’t need to lose any more of them.
Jonathan. - February 11, 2012
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
those sharpie stars!!!!
hahahahha
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
WAR FICKETT
off of that alone
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
When people ask me for any extra information on an application, I’m going to say that I know Josh Samman and Ben Saunders on a personal level.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
This will be my plan as well
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Millions watching on HDNet?
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
Yes, each viewer counts for 100,000
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
I still don't think it reaches a million
IRodC - February 10, 2012
The assume every home watching has 75 viewers in it
Jesus H. Christ - February 10, 2012
I am very fucking late
What’s up
IRodC - February 10, 2012
NO ONE TELL HIM WHAT IS UP!
HE’S TOO LATE!
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
My bad..
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
pdl talking about varner and...
SAMMAN SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
Glad you are here!
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
And my night is now 34.3 times better
IRodC - February 10, 2012
Hot Russian bitches and hillbilly hand smashes
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
Keep laughing

Mongoose44 - February 10, 2012
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Anthony Peer - February 10, 2012
..............Fast
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
Ficket looks pretty stupid now
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
lol
yeah, the sharpie stars are looking pretty ridiculous
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
better get that t shirt on quick
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
Did Varner just propose on live TV?
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
They cut away, it doesn't count
IRodC - February 10, 2012
wow
mmartsy - February 10, 2012
Hahah fuck me, they had the same haircut so I thought Fickett won.
Anthony Peer - February 10, 2012
I couldn't tell the difference either. /allwhitepeoplelookalike
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
The only way I could tell was by the size of the stars
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
Drew Fickett needs to retire tonight.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
I don't think he will
I think he needs the $$$
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Wouldn’t doubt it. Really sad stuff.
mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
Is Varner crying? What?
Matthew Roth - February 10, 2012
the man just proffessed his undying love
The Lethal Haze - February 10, 2012
So
par for the course then?
Dude stays crying.
RolloTomasi - February 10, 2012
Win or lose
He is consistent
IRodC - February 10, 2012
That;s true bromace, stop being so heartless
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012

mountaineers101 - February 10, 2012
HE IS A LIAR
IRodC - February 10, 2012
This was fun guys
But it was no ProElite thread
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
at least we beat the Ring of combat thread
Our Bovine Public - February 10, 2012
By general awesomeness
Those guys never stood a chance!
Chris Hall - February 10, 2012
What do you expect without minowaman?
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
Bring Jaime back to the UFC, he can compete with some low tier UFC Lightweights
He should have been in the UFC with the WEC merger but he got lost in the shuffle.
Elitex10x - February 10, 2012
They got 58 guys in there already, not sure they need more
Sides, whos he gonna beat, ramsey nijem?
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
maybe he should try Strikeforce if he wants a bigger show than XFC.
Elitex10x - February 10, 2012
varner/melendez
NAH PASS
kellly - February 10, 2012
Least it would be a name, and if he beat masvidal, or the winner of kj noons-thomson
Or someone like wilcox, fedor, prob just take 1 win for someone like him with some exposure given it would be a new name
UK MMA MAN - February 10, 2012
mean fodor, 5 in the mornin now so goodnight anyone still here
UK MMA MAN - February 11, 2012
I wonder if Varner can cut to Featherweight.
chrisbboy82 - February 10, 2012
He can and he should.
Jonathan. - February 11, 2012
Roth, you’re good. Maybe too good.
Patrick Tenney - February 10, 2012
I missed the Samman fight. I told myself to remember. Shit. Glad to hear he won.
Zachary Kater - February 11, 2012
Y'all picked the wrong card.
Jonathan. - February 11, 2012
So's your face
Chris Hall - February 11, 2012
Reading through this thread, I can’t help but think I should’ve skipped going to the shitty parties I went to and stayed in and watched this.
Tim Bernier - February 11, 2012
It would have been much more productive
Chris Hall - February 11, 2012
Jamie is a friend of mine and however the tv has turned him out to be a villain, he’s a good dude.
Juda_Ben_Heard - February 11, 2012 via mobile
those wishing they stayed home to watch this.....you should, xfc is usually pretty fun to watch
i miss beast boy chris barnett, he always brought interesting fights. oh well
