I am a little curious to why the Overeem/Lesnar winner gets a title shot. It's Overeem's first fight in the UFC and Lesnar has no business as a contender.

I am a little curious to why the Overeem/Lesnar winner gets a title shot. It's Overeem's first fight in the UFC and Lesnar has no business as a contender. because they're both draws, and who else really merits a title shot

[Freddy316]

Doesn't matter if it's Lesnar or Overeem, Dos Santos should have no problem beating either one of them.

[Lemmywinks]

Especially Lesnar one shot and down he goes.

[Gilly]

Poor stoppage there. Cung still had some fight in him, had the single but the ref steps in. He could have had the win if he pressured after hurting Wanderlei. Shame he's come to the UFC so late.

Totally blown away by Hendo and Rua. What a war!

[Darkgod]

Hendo/Rua is front runner for Fight of the Year

[Freddy316]

Yeah, definitely one of the best fights I've seen in a long time. Both fighters were impressive and really put it all out there. This is a future rematch I definitely want to see at some point.

[Lemmywinks]

I freaking missed it.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

The Henderson And Rua Fight was pretty good... But thought the Silva and Cung fight was better... even though I thought it was a bad stoppage. Wasn't a bad PPV though :D

[Lemmywinks]

I can't believe now I freaking missed after how good you guys are saying it was.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Can watch them on MMA-Core.com... where I usually watch the fights if I missed them... But they get taken down pretty quickly, but they are still up.

[Lemmywinks]

Cool just may give that a shot. Isn't mmashare another?

[IKickAssForTheLord]

There's probably a lot of them. Just gave you that one, since I use that one most of the time. Just gotta go to Videos then to fights. Or they might be on the main page.

[Lemmywinks]

Thanks man much appreciated.

[Gilly]

Best place to watch them is mobilevids.org they get uploaded the following day, usually excellent quality. You can watch them on either laptop or iPhone.

[Get Some]

really wanted Miller to win, Bisbing is a Douche

[Darkgod]

yeah I think thats how everyone felt

[Darkgod]

Anyone catch 140... one of the best cards in a while... an 8 second KO, a former legen getting ground and pounded into submission, another legend getting his arm broken, and an up and comer making a BJJ black belt look like a white belt.... excellent card all around..

also anyone see that Overeem fled the country on the day he was supposed to take his drug test for PEDs, and only just now has been granted a tempporary liscense to fight... http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Overeem-Granted-Conditional-License-for-UFC-141-by-NSAC-38049

[Darkgod]

First international edition of TUF announced... coaches are Belfort/Silva... wish we were getting this in america...

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/UFC-Appoints-Belfort-Axe-Murderer-as-Coaches-of-TUF-Brazil-38089

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Well ain't that some shit.... I would def watch Belfort And Silva... Fuckin' Silva :rock: Love to see him be a coach!

[Lemmywinks]

That I would watch.

[asbest]

I wish there was UFC showing here in Holland, i love MMA.
Found one of our kickboxers was on UFC against Pete Williams:
Semmy Schilt, not the best kickboxer not the best mma fighter.

What do you guys think?

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Anybody watch the PPV last night?

I figured Brock would lose... But I guess not that quickly, and after the fight he retired.
Nate vs The Cowboy was a pretty damn good fight too. Nate be getting better.
And Jon Fitch... All I can do is shake my head hahaha.

[Darkgod]

I don't see why Brock made more then a "half-hearted" attempt at a atakedown... also wish Overeem wasn't allowed to flee the country when his drug test was up. All in all, kind of glad Brock retired, before we seen him losing to guys like Mutyshenko.

[asbest]

I think Overeem did a good job against Brock.
Overeem with he's kickboxing background is a beast with striking.
I'm happy he's dutch.

[Freddy316]

spoilers,

Brock has zero stand-up so as soon as it was established that he couldn't pull off the takedown it was pretty much a given that Overeem was going to end the fight in the first or second round. Brock looked hesitant the whole fight. I'm looking forward to the striking war that Overeem vs. JDS is going to be. I think JDS will win it though since he is faster and is the better technical striker overall. Jon Fitch getting KO'd in less then 15 seconds was pretty damn funny.

[Darkgod]

Thanks for that spoiler warning freddy.

[Freddy316]

No one ever posts spoiler warnings here the day after. I assumed everyone saw it, the event was yesterday and everyone who posts here already posted about it so why is a spoiler warning needed? And if someone didn't see it yet then why would they even be reading posts about it?

[Darkgod]

I usually post spoiler warning, or make sure not to say a decision, or outcome of a fight until a while later.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

If I miss an event I always read about it first then I'll check out the fight. Don't feel like watching a boring 15 minute fight... I wanna know if it's good and if it is then I'll watch it... But I know what you mean Dark.... But look on the bright side... the fight only lasted about 12 seconds :D Just don't blink or you might miss it.

[Freddy316]

Rumor has it Jon Jones will be defending his title against Dan Henderson next at UFC 145. Guaranteed KO coming.
http://mmaweekly.com/is-jon-jones-vs-dan-henderson-headed-to-ufc-145

[Freddy316]

Now they're saying if Rashad wins his next fight against Davis he'll get the next title shot against Jones at 145. I don't care either way, Henderson and Evans could both be interesting fights for Jones. Henderson has power that could possibly KO Jones if he connects and Evans has speed which could play a factor if he is able to keep his distance and pick his shots. Jones would most likley win in either case though.

[Darkgod]

I dont see Evans beating Davis. Guy has been on the sidelines lately, but he is a beats...reminds me of a cross between Jones/Evans

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Would love to see Henderson Vs. Jones :rock:

[Lemmywinks]

That would be a great fight.

[Lemmywinks]

So anybody watching Diaz/Conndit tonight?

[Darkgod]

trying to find a spot now

[koolmike]

Catchin' a Black Sabbath tribute band called INTO THE VOID at a nearby club tonight
(The Woodhaven House)

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Oh is that so Mike? Haha think you have the wrong thread.

But on topic, really looking forward to the Main Event tonight. I'll be watching this tonight.

[koolmike]

:)

just sayin'

[Darkgod]

Just catching it on streams now

[Darkgod]

I think Diaz won... Kept the pace up and advancing. Condit hit the 1 kick that did any damage

[IKickAssForTheLord]

I like that Stephen Thompson guy... fuckin' karate up in this bitch, haha. But I missed most of this PPV... I saw the 1st 2 rounds of the Condit and Diaz fight...Gotta finish watching it. Roy Nelson took a beaten from those knees hahaha.

[Darkgod]

Nelson got fucked up, but never stopped coming forward

[Lemmywinks]

Diaz got screwed I feel and said screw it he's done. Condit agreed to a rematch but Diaz's manager said it won't happen.

[Darkgod]

I would love a rematch, cause Diaz would just keep attacking and probally KO him.

[Lemmywinks]

Diaz flat out told Rogan "I'm done with this shit." I read on espn's bottom line Diaz's manager said a rematch won't happen.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Didn't Diaz fail a drug test after the fight?

[Darkgod]

Yeah, for pot... But he does have a medicinal prescription.

[Darkgod]

Jon Jones was on opie and Anthony the other day... Now, I said a year ago that there where some chink in his good guy armor... Now he talks shit on Dan Henderson... Says Dan wants to fight him, so be it... " I can't picture myself losing to an old man in any combative sport, this isn't checkers Or golf..." says Dan is predictable and slow, and his wrestling is fading. I know jones is the favorite but I would love to see Hendo smash his face in

[Freddy316]

I haven't really been following recent MMA news, but has Dan been talking any shit about Jones to trigger that comment or did it just come out of nowhere? I want to see someone get knocked out, I don't really care who, but if those comments by Jones were unprovoked then I think I would get more satisfaction from seeing Jones knocked out. Nothing I hate more then an arrogant fighter who takes their opponent lightly and talks shit.

[Darkgod]

Dan has said nothing except his next fight he wants either Silva or Jones...

[IKickAssForTheLord]

I want to see Jones lose so badly... And it would be wonderful if Dan made that happen. Hendo :rock:

[Lemmywinks]

Hmm didn't know Jones was the shit talker. If he said those things about Hendo and they fight go Hendo.

[Lemmywinks]

I watched last nights ppv and it was ok. I feel Henderson won outright and it is time for Rampage to hang it up he just doesn't seem at all interested nor willing to put up a fight anymore.

[Darkgod]

I thought Edgar won 48-47... I don't think one up kick wins a round... Edgar kept taking him down, and was connecting more... as for Rampage, I agree.

[Lemmywinks]

Henderson's submission attempt I feel got him over. Plus stopping the attempts does help.

[Darkgod]

The submission won him the round, but I think Edgar got more takedowns then where stopped. I'd give rounds 1,2,and 5 to Edgar

[Lemmywinks]

Well unless Edgar said fuck it maybe we will get a rematch.

[Darkgod]

LOL, White is saying he wants Petis to get first shot... but Edgar had to give Penn and Maynard immediate rematches, he should get first shot.

[Lemmywinks]

I think White wears his head up his ass for the warmth.

[Darkgod]

Anyone watch the free fights tonight? Pretty good ending to the main event, and a good KO in the second fight... but of course we get some controversy in a decision in the opening fight... guy who won, lost according to the judges

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Yeah I caught them...well caught some of them, I missed a couple... really wanted to see the Main Event, wanted Kampmann to win. Gonna have to find the videos of the fights I missed.

[C.H.U.D.]

The judges got it wrong when they gave Johnson the decision.

[Darkgod]

Yeah, I think everyone agrees on that... rumor is that the winner of the tourney will face him first to correct it.

EDIT: Apparently we are getting an immediate rematch... human error had it as a draw and it was given in wrong... http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/UFC-on-FX-2-Update-JohnsonMcCall-Ruled-Majority-Draw-Rematch-to-Come-40775

[C.H.U.D.]

Good to see they're admitting it was a bogus decision. I had the fight 29-28 McCall...but I could see how it could maybe be thought of as a draw. But I NEVER expected them to give the win to Johnson...nobody did.

Loved when the entire crowd starting chanting "BULLSHIT" after the winner was announced.

[Darkgod]

Well TUF debuted last night on a new channel, and with the new Live format... Sherdog did a top 10 Ultimate fighter contestants(excluding Season 4) http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/1/Sherdogs-Top-10-The-Ultimate-Fighters-40877

[Lemmywinks]

Planning on streaming the Jones/Evans fight anybody else?

[Darkgod]

I'm heading to a bachelor party, otherwise I would be rooting for career ending injuries for them both

[Freddy316]

I'm going to watch it. Evans is probably the only fighter in LHW that has any kind of shot against Jones mainly because of his speed. Also, his solid wrestling background will make it hard for Jones to dominate him if the fight goes to the ground.

[Darkgod]

I want Hendo to get a shot to smash his face in

[Freddy316]

Hendo has a chance also if they give him a title shot. Hendo fighting either Jones or Evans would both make good fights.

[Lemmywinks]

I'm heading to a bachelor party, otherwise I would be rooting for career ending injuries for them both

I dig your honesty on any topic. Anyways I feel Jones will win and hopefully give Hendo his rightful shot and shut Jones up.

[Darkgod]

Jon Jones arrested for DUI in New York...

and in the Strikeforce Grand Prix Cormier defeated Barnett... and rumor is both men are headed to UFC.... Barnett back in the UFC :fapper:

[Lemmywinks]

Way to go Jones correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Hendo have the next shot?

[Darkgod]

yes he does

[Freddy316]

Good.

[Lemmywinks]

Go freaking Hendo.
