There's nothing accidental about that.. He checked that kick...

When you throw a leg kick you do so knowing full well that if your opponent checks your kick you can damage your own leg...

Normally not this badly... But it's not unheard of...

Weidman is the real deal... MW champion of the world... Deserves respect...

Absolutely this. Andersons legs have always looked paper thin to me, but this is something I'd never have expected.

Weidman Vs Vitor should be sick!

Yeah it was all weidman in the fight. Absolutely sickening, and you'd have to think that's him done now. If it is its such a shitty way for him to go out.

What's Zingano like as a striker? Cos I hope she punches f**king holes in Rousey. She says she doesn't care about the booing but I hope it humbles the f**k outta her. Doesn't help her trainer is a f**king douche as well. You'd swear blind they all had class lessons from someone like Karo Parysian. Still Ladies scrap was a great fight.

Had doubt about Browne up until tonight, nasty mofo!
I think Karo Parysian is the same team...

I like Ronda though... She's a female Diaz brother...

:lol:I hope she keeps going like this...

Manny is there so you'd imagine Karo is as well.

It's strange I like the Diaz boys but even they aren't as shit as Rhonda. Even Nate was cool with cowboy after whooping him. Didn't use some "you insulted my family or trainers" whine. She backs everything up tho, amazing Judo and a will to win you can't teach!

She's way more of a douche than either Diaz brother TBH
That's why I like her...

She has an edge about her... It's f**king nasty...

To be fair to her though... She's only been this way with Tate... She was completely different with everyone else she fought...

I'd say she will be back to the normal humble fighter routine come the Zigano fight...

Well played Weidman.

Belfort and Weidman will also be crazy hope its not too far away.

Browne is surely top 3 heavyweights now. Guys a beast.

It's funny I've seen a few of her videos about her life and day to day routine, etc and she seems ok but Edmond is the biggest douchebag ever and I think his (fake) tough guy act has really rubbed off on her. To be honest a lot of her stuff isn't that bad but flipping people off and that kind of stuff really doesn't do much for the sport IMO. MMA has always tried to present itself as different from boxing, the UFC is proud of the fact that a lot of their fighters are college educated, etc and general outstanding characters, then you got Ronda who behaves like a petulant teenager sometimes.....
As a fighter I've got utmost respect for her, her grappling is just at another level, and she'll be very hard to beat until wrestlers of her calibre start filtering through

If weidman goes on to lose to Belfort or someone similar, it's like all he did was ruin the middle weight division. Since he killed the greatest, he now has to be the greatest, that means being invincible, hope he's up to it. I have my doubts.

He's big test will be against Belfort he gets thru that he will be champion for a long time. Middleweight division is pretty shallow, cant see any current middleweights beating Weidman besides Belfort.

Even losing to belfort will be pretty lame, it will mean the middleweight div just dived in quality, considering what silva did to belfort.

Have you watched Vitor in the past year or so? He is a different animal to what Anderson faced. At the end of the day we are beginning a new chapter in the MW division much like the welterweights. Time for someone else to step up and take over from Anderson and GSP.. It will take a while though, and I don't think it will be either Weidman or Hendricks.

Anyone know what Tate actually said about Rousey's family? Was it anything remotely deserving of that display? Or is Ronda just being a drama queen?

She was talking shit about her trainers... Who she considers her family.

To be honest.... They were both slinging shit at each other.... So i think it's a bullshit excuse...

Is rather she just come out and say she's a bitch and she doesn't wanna shake her hand.

I love it to be honest... I love the fact that you have personalities like that in the sport...

These people make a living beating the f**k out other trained killers in a steel cage... There's a certain mentality that you might need to pull that off...

Shit can get heated in a rivalry... At least she's being honest IMO...

There's a mentality but surely as a life long trained Martial artist she would've been taught respect. Both slung shit but Tate had the decency to want to show respect for the contest Nd battle they just endured. The family cry is horeshit.

Rousey is douche plain and simple. But such a weapon so I guess she can carry on as much as she wants. Good chick striker I think will crack her if she doesn't improve hers, but I'll pay to watch her judo 9 times outta 10. Probably going to need another Headcase to take the belt away from her.

That's such horseshit TBH, Edmond the fake tough guy was walking around like a wannabe mafia hit man and acting like a bully making empty threats all season long on TUF, and let's not forget the disdain Ronda's crew showed all season long

Hes a different animal in Brazil...
Wasn't it in brazil where silva kicked his head off?

Anyway, I do realise he's on the juice and turned into a hulk vitor now, but still, silva had his number so bad I don't think it would matter. If weidman struggles with him I'll consider him a bit of a nobody, and I'll consider the middleweight division dead.
