Anyone here get into MMA?

Looks like Alves vs Kampmann will be the MAIN EVENT for sydney UFC.

Just read on MMA junkie that big nog isn't having any corrective surgery, just an arm in a cast for 9 months with rehab twice a day.

Thats madness. :crazy::crazy:

Get the nail and be back into rehab in 6 weeks. Fighting again in 9 months. Wont be fighting now for 18 months.

Even just for the pain relief of having a stable fracture.

Australian card sounds like utter shit on big names alone. Not saying there wont be great fights, but bit disappointing

 

[shiznit]

The aussie card is an FX card...

but it sounds SICK... Alves V Kampman is a good fight...

but the best thing for me is the rumour's that there doing a Flyweight tournament on the same card.

Demetrious Johnson V Ian McCall & Joseph Benavidez V Yasuhiro Urushitani are ABSOLUTE barn burners!!

because of the likely price its probably not enough of a reason for me to fly over from NZ to watch... but it looks like its gonna be a good card fight's wise...

IM PUMPED FOR THIS FIGHT!!

 

[Jono078]

Me too, but I bet it's over quicker than Cain Vs JDS was!

 

[Jack_Napier]

God I'm prayin reem's worked his TDD, otherwise it's gonna be GnP to Brock all night long.

I'm hoping we see reem clinch and deliver uber knee after uber knee ha ha. Brock tastes the power and he'll shoot straight away. Really can't wait for this one!

 

[shiznit]

how about Nate Diaz V Donald Cerone?? HOLY SHIIIIIIT!!

 

[Jack_Napier]

Shit yeah, specially with Nate trashing cowboy a bit. So many good fights lately. Talks of big country and werdum fighting as well. Just gotta get mousassi from SF now.

 

[Ram Man]

Fingers crossed Cowboy destroys Diaz....I think he will anyway, I dont think Diaz has the power that Cerrone has on his feet, different story on the ground.

Cowboy does have a legit ground game but he is going up against a Ceaser Gracie Brown Belt, although I thought I heard somewhere that Ceasar gave him his black belt...anyway I see Diaz with an advantage on the ground.

Cerrone by 2nd round TKO.
