The feck? Just found out that Diaz vs GSP is off. Apparently Condit has replaced Diaz due to him no showing 2 press events in a row. Dana White says he's probably gonna drop him too.

Diaz is gonna fight Blowjob penn at same ufc event now
Yeah, just seen that.
Condit vs GSP then.
I think I actually prefer those match ups. Diaz v Penn could be a classic.

The question is what happens if Diaz wins dominantly. Will White put the GSP and Diaz fight back on for a later card, or has he blown his chances already
He'll put it back on if the fans want it. Money talks at the end of the day.
Has there ever been less hype around an event for the fight night tonight? Ellenberger vs Shields is actually a pretty interesting fight, if Shields is still having problems with his weight then Ellenberger can definitely give him some problems. Banking on Evan Dunham to return to form aswell, that guy is a monster
live on facebook at the moment
Some really entertaining fights on the facebook stream so far.
Definitely. That McKenzie is so strange
Any stream? Need it for a friend, the cheapskate. ESPN is like €10 a month here :P
Wow Shields out of it there! Ellenberger was a great price tonight I thought.
That must be a nasty one for Shields, with his Dad dying a few weeks ago and that. Can't say im too shocked tbh
This doesn't really look great for GSP now. Chris Lytle and Jake Ellenberger finished people that GSP couldn't
Wow. Just happened to catch it between fights on the HBO card...awesome from Ellenberger.
But GSP is the champion and unlikely to be beaten too soon.
I know, but his fights suck balls.
Just seen that Shogun Rua vs Dan Henderson has been added to UFC 139. What a great few weeks of MMA thats going to be.
Nov 5th: UFC 138 - headlined by Munoz vs Leben. Not a great card but still some interesting fights.
Nov 12th: Velasquez vs Dos Santos
Nov 19th: UFC 139 - Shogun vs Hendo and Belfort vs Cung Le.

WTF? Valesquez vs Dos Santos isn't on a full PPV event? Odd.
Now I'm no MMA expert but are these guys fairly good by general standards?
The dude who won looks pretty good. Nice array of submissions. seemed a bit obssessed with the leg locks and kept slapping them on immediately. Should have been improving his position more often. 2nd dude didn't have very good JJ, kept getting stuck in sub attempts. Was countered at every turn. I'd say a bit of Judo would be very helpful for both
Vitor out of the Cung Le fight (injured). Wand takes his place
So many cards changing recently, its crazy. They announce them waaay too early these days.
Some cracking fights on the opening episodes of this seasons TUF.
Knockouts/stoppages galore.
The smaller guys really know how to bring it.
Maybe they'll get kids on for next season to spice it up a bit.

Watching this now.
Is the guy Paul McVeigh not from N.Ireland? He has a Northern Irish accent and they're all calling him Scottish? Certainly doesn't sound like a Glaswegian anyway.

Yep, he's Irish. feck knows what Bisping was talking about.
Well he ended up getting the piss beat out of him anyway so I suppose it doesn't matter where he comes from. That little reverse elbow the other guy did on him was cool as feck.
Does anyone ever know what the hell Bisping is talking about?
Anyone watching the UFC tonight?
I have to go pick someone up at the airport tomorrow early, so dunno whether or not to just stay up and watch the UFC and then go after.
Either way I am looking forward to Hughes - Koscheck.

Yea I'll be watching if I can find a stream.
Prelims just started on Facebook a few minutes ago
I'll be watching. I hope Hughes can pull off the upset but Koscheck is an awful match-up for him on paper. Hughes looks to have lost quite a bit of muscle mass over the years too. Diego Sanchez would have been a much more winnable fight for him imo.
The talk of Hughes retiring can't have been good for him. Anyone at that age would begin to struggle, and he's not a fighter to rely on his talent. His thing has been his strength and with that his wrestling. But I believe Koscheck can beat him everywhere.
Pretty good fight I'm watching on Facebook.
That guy was fecking useless.
feck. That was depressing. Reminded me of Liddell-Franklin. Hughes looked far better than I expected him to initially just like Liddell did that night, but then came the brutal ending. Hughes has stopped short of outright retiring too. If he does fight again for his own sake I hope its just on the lower end of cards against grapplers with weak stand up.
Don't really know that much about UFC but I always thought Hughes came across as a dick so I didn't really mind seeing him get smashed.
That was phenomenal from Jones. I'm pretty much lost for words to describe that performance.
The Bader win already answered alot of questions about his ability to deal with high-level wrestlers but Rashad's speed and the genuine personal acrimony between them makes that another interesting test for Jones. He'll rightly be the overwhelming favourite though. Beyond Evans there's only really Machida that looks stylistically like he's got anything fresh to threaten Jones.

Yea it was great, he is a monster.
I am amazed that chicken legs Jones can keep kicking people in the legs like that. I thought Rampage will do damage to him, but he was too elusive for QRJ. On Jones, I don't know if it has to do with his reach or what but people just cant get close to him.
