Rob Young - February 2, 2012
Would love to, but we have other commitments, too.
Matt Bishop - February 2, 2012
WE AREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LIVE!
Matt Bishop - February 2, 2012
It’s 2012 why is the NCAA sstill insisting on fax?
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
Don’t worry guys! You can start the show, I’m here!
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
I’m not :P
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Thanks MattParker.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Are you going to miss the Gladiator Bishop?
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
Are they getting rid of it for PPVs? When?
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Brian is still figuring out fax, right? The old telegraph is still the Hemminger choice of communication?
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Cup with a string.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
More Info on the new Intro (Junkie)
http://mmajunkie.com/news/27250/ufc-143-to-debut-ufcs-new-60-second-show-opener.mma
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
UFC should just hire Nicktheface and Lookoutawhale to make the intro
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
Want me to call in and fill some air time for you, Mr. Bishop?
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
I was at the Fan Expo in Houston for UFC 136
and i got to see miguel torres punch the dimond MMA owner in the nuts (wearing a cup of course)
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
Forrest/Tito III should be the main event.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
I don’t want to see it, but it would likely draw viewers.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
JDS, Jones, Silva, GSP, Edgar, Cruz six of the UFC’s champions are tied up through Injury, TUF or otherwise. The UFC does not have a lot of options right now.
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
I thought Barry would end up on FOX if he remained in the UFC long enough.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Boner nicknames
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
UFC on FOX 3 is 3 months away
So there is still plenty of time to shake things up
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
How dare you talk shit on Pat Barry. Served.
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
GET IT SPOTTY SCOTTY
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
No offense to anyone but Forrest v. Tito III is the opposite of building stars.
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Aha!
Now i see the light sir. good point
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Just absolute dung.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
It would still draw casual viewers.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
time to buy a new TV?
lots of good TV sales going on with the Super Bowl coming up this weekend…. was thinking of going 60+
for my fellow fans with DirecTV, are the UFC shows broadcasted in 1080p/i, or still just 720???
Ben Bauman - February 2, 2012
Name me any station that is broadcast in 1080p. They’re all 1080i, 720p is rarely available.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
I think interlaced signals are cheaper and easier to broadcast.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
there are 1080 movies on DTV..
Ben Bauman - February 2, 2012
THAT’S BECUASE MMA MOVES LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN BISHOP!!!!
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Vemola is going to Middle weight now?>????
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
He’ll probably stick to Rumbleweight.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
He used to fight at heavyweight
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
I’m trying to get credentialed for UFC on FX 3 with Thiago Silva vs. Brandon Vera II at the Patriot Center…because I wouldn’t pay for that. Nor would I go to the event in Jersey.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Thiago Silva vs. Brandon Vera – Bongo Remix
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Why is he still in the UFC?
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
After Silva popped positive he was uncut
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
Anton is holding posters hostage unless they keep Vera employed
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
LOL @ diddly poo
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
He beat quality heavyweights like Justin Eilers, Assuerio Silva, and a dilapidated Frank Mir. Never understood the hype. We’ve all seen “the truth” of Brandon Vera.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
“Hey, would you sleep with a stranger? Hi, my name is” “Bellator” Brian Hemminger
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
You going to miss the Gladiator Brian?
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
Fluffing his Garfield into the microphone.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Stop making love to the mic Brian!
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Good for Jose
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
I agree
I think he discourages his fighters from learning english
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
What Nick Diaz did in response to that question was staring straight forward, letting out a big sigh, and after a few seconds and then simply stating “it means what I said” (roughly)
It was pretty hilarious
Horselover Fat - February 2, 2012
I forgot about Ed Soares since I haven’t seen him for awhile, and that’s a good thing.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
UFC on Fox 3 co main event?
How about Rampage Jackson VS anyone as a co-main for the May show on Fox?
Assuming he smashes Bader later this month….
Ben Bauman - February 2, 2012
Shogun
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Darryl Schoonover.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
LOL tities
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
At least Nick showed up to the press conference
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
THE GODDAMN PLANE HAS CRASHED INTO THE MOUNTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Can you just play all of the drops during this dead air?
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
LOL. War Machine just got sentenced to another year in jail.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Dude is absolute scum.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
They’ve decided his pornographic performances were criminal.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
The UFC gladiator does stunts for Russell Crowe in gay movies
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
That is a new drop. “The dude is just so REAL.”
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Brian Hemminger – Big Fan Of Trainwrecks
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Not a big fan of waking up in train yards though.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
hey it lands you UFC credentials so it cant be all bad
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Does that WM free zone include the comic book character?
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
And for Brian, WM will be back in jail in two weeks.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
WEC NEVER DIE!!
2 former WEC champs fighting for the UFC=RAWSOME
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
Condit – Round One via Murder
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
NO! BAD CAPTAIN!
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Double KO.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
Love Shonie’s reaction.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
The fighter on the right is like “wait, I’m still conscio…”
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
This still doesn’t seem real to me. LOL.
Matt Bishop - February 2, 2012
Gonna get to see the entire event like the good ol’ days of 2011! Facebook FTW! Glad they’re limiting FUEL prelims to FX shows. It’s odd that the “UFC on FUEL” events will also use Facebook for prelims though.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
What do you guys think about Cesar Gracie saying they would wait for GSP if Nick won and Malki Kawa saying Carlos would defend the belt?
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Sounds like both guys should STFU and wait until Sun. morning.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
.
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
On the MMA hour Malki made a much bigger deal about all that than Cesar.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
That is about par for the course with Kawa though
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
You’d have to like his attitude if you were one of his clients though.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
for sure
when he was on radio with Luke Thomas he was full of information and the man can talk. Those are good things to have on your side
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
He’s an insufferable douche, in my opinion. But I guess that’s true for most managers.
Horselover Fat - February 2, 2012
Nick Diaz: best cardio in MMA, hands down.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
OH YEAH!
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
The UFC wanted to give Werdum a paycut, which he declined, so they allowed him to walk ala Dan Henderson. He wasn’t cut.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
YES
Brian Hemminger - February 2, 2012
I didn’t realize anything that aggressive had occurred in that awful fight.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
que fizeram os cinco dedos dizem à cara?
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
SLAP!!
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
HE'S ROCKED!
Matt Bishop - February 2, 2012
I want Werdum to win so he can fight Frank
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
I rooting for "Trucker" Roy Nelson
Garbanzo - February 2, 2012
Will there be epic buttflops?
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Would you rather watch this year’s Royal Rumble again or the Nelson vs. Werdum monkey butt ugly fight?
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Rothwell vs Hunt all day.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Kofi Kingston!
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Mike Pierce is going to shock the world!!!
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Kos didnt like getting hit in the eye against Hughes. Pierce has a target on that for sure
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Is there anyway the winner of this does not get a title shot?
MattParker117 - February 2, 2012
Faber has next
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Jorgensen no way
not as long as Cruz is champ. He looked horrible against Cruz at WEC 53
Brian Hemminger - February 2, 2012
Jorgensen should be at flyweight.
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Brian Hemminger - February 2, 2012
I could knock out Ken Stone with one of those battery powered mini-fans from Dollar Store.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Can anyone explain to me why I am paying for Clifford Starks?
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Hey, these guys gotta get paid somehow.
Matt Bishop - February 2, 2012
I can see the salaries now.
Nick Diaz: $250,000 ($100,000 win bonus)
Clifford Starks: $2,000
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
Lance BENOIST! Hemminger, don’t say that other last name!
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
if Matt Brown gets submitted from Chris Cope I will jump off a bridge
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Will you scream “WOOOO!!!!” when you do it?
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
*if
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
yep
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
NO.
mountaineers101 - February 2, 2012
goddamn Ric Flair was amazing
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Does the crappy beer somehow taste better when attending as a fan Brian?
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
Hip flask?
Machiel Van - February 2, 2012
pre gaming with wine coolers
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
APOLOGIZE
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
Will Smith sounds
WOOOO!
HA HA!
WHAT?
UH!
Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012

Earl Montclair - February 2, 2012
