Anyone here get into MMA?

This entire fox card has been awesome so far and only four fights ino the prelims!!

 

[Pugzley]

BJ is past it I reckon.

 

[aqua_duck]

BJ simply cannot compete at 170 simple as that, if he can't make 155 then he needs to hang it up

 

[Pugzley]

He's brilliant but lazy. Relies too much on his natural athleticism.

 

[Pugzley]

Rua was getting manhandled.

Was this how the old school fans felt when the Severns, the Shamrocks and the Gracies made way for the next generation?

 

[aqua_duck]

Benson absolutely dominated Nate Diaz, a lot of experts were saying Bendo's kicks and his wrestling would be the difference and it certainly showed

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Bendo put on an absolute clinic. But Diaz did well to not get finished.

Wasn't that impressed with Gustafson to be honest don't think he should be next in line for the title, if Glover Texeira gets through Rampage I think he should be given next shot at Jon jones.

And thanks for the memories BJ he had nothing to prove to anyone, he's a legend of the sport, should bow out gracefully.

 

[Special K]

Not a good night for some old favs. None of the underdogs got up on the main card

Rory just destroyed BJ. It was weird for all the talk about what great shape BJ was in he looked ruined half way through the first. Totally agree that if he ever wants to fight again it needs to be at 155 but even then I can't see any fights that make sense. It would be terrible for BJ to go out after two BEATINGS from Diaz and Rory though.

Shogun and Gustafson was good. I thought the pressure may have got to Gustafson but he handled it well and took Shogun down whenever he wanted. You can totally sell a fight now between him vs Jones. He is on a 6 fight streak, has the length and just beat a name.

Bendo just out classed Diaz. Amazing performance and no way did I think it would be so one sided. I actually thought Diaz could pull out the W in this but Bendo was on another level. I think it was the 4th he was super close to finishing him...

 

[Collateral]

Pearson by Lopsided decision.

Lombard by brutal beatdown.

Freakshow Via decision

Whittaker by TKO.

 

[Ram Man]

Palhares by some sort of nasty leg lock

Freakshow by Submission

Whittaker by KO

Pearson by UD

 

[Frailty]

Better performance from Lombard... That's what we've been waiting to see.

 

[Frailty]

UFC will cut G-Sots... If they don't, he should retire anyway.

 

[Collateral]

UFC will cut G-Sots... If they don't, he should retire anyway.

I dont really care about Sots anymore...he's decided he's an awesome boxer and is going to try and bang with people miles above his level. What does he expect?
Its as idiotic as if for eg: Pearson decided in this fight that he was going to take Sots down and work for the submission.

He needs to get a new camp who is going to teach him how to play to his strengths and avoid head-butting other peoples fists.

It seriously pisses me off so much seeing talent wasted so stupidly.

Oh and war Lombard! He's now called out Bisping (who I think will run his way to a wide UD if that fight ever happens).

 

[Special K]

I think it's time for George to hang em up. That was brutal!

As collateral said why George tries to box is beyond me. He looked like a new born giraffe(saw that on twitter lol) out there. He looked good for a minute when it went to the ground and probably saved himself from a 10 - 8 round. His boxing picked up in the 2nd but he was always a lunch from being dropped. Did he get dropped 4 times from punches and 1 from a leg kick?

Agreed, we were at the fight pretty much begging George to go for a takedown, hes not a boxer. was so frustrating.

Wtf happened on fuel tv? I only got the prelims recorded. Werr the main fights on first? Can't find any later version of the final in the guide. They all say prelims over the next couple of days

 

[jc155776]

Main event was on FX 123. Great fights great card.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

That was painful to watch Re Sots. Honestly don't know what he does from here.. Can't see the ufc keeping him on although it would be odd to see him cut after main eventing a card. Maybe gets one last chance against someone like Melvin Guillard or Sam Stout.

Attention turns to big country now wonder how he'll go against mitrione.

 

[Sydney Knight]

Main event was on FX 123. Great fights great card.

Don't know what happened my series link didn't pick it up on fx and I saw the title finale on fuel so set that. Have been through the fx guide for the next few days and no replays. Pretty frustrated after not missing an episode and planning to watch finals last night. Now i already know results. Still hoping to see the fights at some stage.

 

[hellteam]

The main fights were on fuel TV, but you had to press the red button to watch as they were showing the surfing at the same time. Which also meant that you couldn't record it.
