Overall though the Fox card was awesome.

Some great fights and finishes.

Lauzon with ANOTHER cracker and takes the record for more fight night bonus awards.

Now im a big Bendo fan... and i haven't been a fan of Frankie since he stole the title in Abu Dhabi.

But i though Edgar won this fight... it wasn't daylight robbery as some people have made out... but i would have given it 47-48 to Frankie.

Bendo rounds 1 & 4
Frankie rounds 2, 3 & 5

but 3 and 4 were a toss up... but i thought Edgar won the last round.

ohhh well... Frankie should have been beaten in Abu Dhabi and the 2nd fight vs Maynard. so he's had his fair share of lucky moments.

great fight though... and a decent card also...

 

[Jack_Napier]

Thought frankie took it as well. Had Frankie taking Rounds 2, 4 & 5. Close fight and in the last 2 rounds I think bendo went outside his game plan due to Frankie's movement and countering. Bendo continues to attack Frankie lead leg and it would've been a different story.

 

[Special K]

I had Frankie taking 2 and 5.. 3 I thought Hendo won but 4(and 3) were real close - I had Frankie taking it with the 4th round but I would have to rewatch it. As Rogan said during the call rounds 3/4 were dangerous because it they were so close it is hard to tell how each individual judge scored it. I am glad it is not going to be another rematch and would like to see Frankie go after Aldo..

I am super pumped for Diaz/the loud mouth shit talker vs Henderson the god boy.

Cerrone vs Guillard was a SICK fight. I thought Guillard had him! What a sick fight.

Watched the undercard last night after the show and it had some wicked fights. Jared Hamman you crazy bastard!

gotta love Chael...

after being beaten by Anderson... he picks a new person to troll... Jon Jones... :lol:

theres no way in hell he gets close to Jones... but god damn does he entertain the masses...

if you didnt know... this was the first shot fired by Chael on a UFC show...

"On December 29th I will be taking on Forest Griffin," Sonnen told UFC Tonight. "That fight will be at light heavyweight, absolutely.

"I could go up to 205 and take Jon Jones' belt away like I could take candy from him, the little punk kid. But there's something to be said for earning your shot and in December I'm going to go through Forest to do it."

then... the champ replied on twitter... and the argument started... :lol:

@sonnench the things you say about me hold absolutely no weight, you disrespected Anderson and his country but fought like a child.

Now like i said... Jon Jones will destroy Chael... he's anderson... but bigger... with a wrestling base... :lol:

BUT... i would like to see Chael fight Machida next... there is definitely bad blood there... and Chael has been mocking Machida for years...

IMO... if Chael wins... Machida should fight Chael for the number 1 contender spot...

Shogun is fighting Gus also... so thats good news for the division.

 

[pennywisealfie]

yep, would love to see Lyoto smash Sonnen.

 

[shiznit]

Dane has been training with Junior dos Santos. Not surprised he wanted to go toe to toe with Smith.
Like Santos, Dane has better mobility, better cardio, moves well and shots from distance.
Smith has probably got a stronger stand up, better infighting, and a slight edge on the floor.

i doubt Gagai has done any serious training with JDS.

JDS was over in Aus with Dana White a couple of weeks ago to launch TUF Smashes series.

and besides... i think he might be a jezza's corner...

seriously though... id take Jez any day of the week... hes a far better wrestler than gagai... and that's all that would matter.

 

[aqua_duck]

Smith would be pretty good at choke holds, kimuras and heel hooks from his time at the storm

 

[Jack_Napier]

Plus he has got a pretty slick judo hip throw when he tackles.

Yep! Storm players could probs get into mma right now

 

[dogslife]

UFC 151 cancelled! Hendo forced out with a knee injury and Jones refuses to fight replacement, Mr. White not too happy about it either

[Frailty]

I hope Jones gets KO'd by Machida and then the UFC cut him.

Chael Sonnen labelled him perfectly by calling him a brat.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Looks like machida has knocked it back said it was not enough notice to prepare. Belfort is getting next shot at UFC 152 which is bulls***.

Might aswell chuck Rashad or shogun back in there

 

[dogslife]

Yeah would've thought Shogun would have got first crack after Machida. Maybe he knocked the fight back aswell. If you want to take it seriously, 4 weeks really isn't enough time to prepare for a fight with Jones, especially if you haven't been in camp. Jones knocking a fight back when he's already been in camp for 8 weeks is a bitch move, just polarises himself with the fans even more. Massive props to Chael for stepping up when the company needed him

 

[Fufu Andronez]

if he really wanted to gain some popularity after the DUI this would be his perfect chance. Instead everyone's calling him out for ducking and being a brat, ruining it for all the mid carders.

Of course he prob could care less n is laughing it up on his bed of money.

Also not sure on sonnen being in contention yet but the guy will most likely talk himself up a few places in the rankings. At least he wouldn't duck a fight though.

 

[Collateral]

Shogun was offered but knocked it back too.

 

[Ram Man]

To say Dana White was pissed is an understatement.
Apparently that dickhead Greg Jackson told Jon Jones that if he took the fight with Chael Sonnen, it would be the worst mistake of his career.
Dana White went as far as calling Greg Jackson a f__kin sport killer, and also questioned why the UFC was a sponser of Jon Jones. Dana also said that Jon Jones was well aware that if he didnt take the Sonnen fight, that the card would be cancelled.
Jones was fighting a ridiculous wrestler in Dan Henderson, so I dont really know why he wouldnt fight Sonnen, other than the fact he is scared!
And if I was Jon Jones, I would be questioning the confidence my coach has in me, if he thinks I cant beat a Middleweight, who while is a good wrestler, really doesnt have a great deal of stand-up weapons, I would be a little worried!

 

[Collateral]

Jones is a douche. One of the biggest two face tossers in the biz.

 

[jc155776]

It's not jones. It's f**king Greg Jackson. As soon as I heard jones had bailed I knew it was that merkin.

 

[shiznit]

It's not jones. It's f**king Greg Jackson. As soon as I heard jones had bailed I knew it was that merkin.

bro... Jon Jones is an adult... he's ultimately responsible for the decisions made.

the blame here lies at the feet of Jon Jones first and foremost.

the UFC also need to take some of the blame here... im not 100% comfortable with Dana passing the buck straight over to JJ.

if your a billion dollar company.. surely you have contingencies in place if something like this happens. especially when millions are spent in promotion.

i wonder if Dana called it off to teach JJ a lesson for turning the fight down.

JJ definitely has ALOT to answer for... but i also dont like how Dana has just dropped a bomb on his lap.
