Really looking forward to the Strikeforce event. Mousasi vs Kyle should be a cracking fight. Mousasi, Barnett and particularly Cormier are among my favourite active fighters.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Decent fight between Ryan Couture and KJ Noons. Bad decision though - Noons should have won but I dislike his face so was amused to see his reaction when he got beat.
Just been watching the main card, all been fairly one sided beat downs. Jacare is a beast, can't wait to see him in UFC. The refs have been a joke tonight.
This is just a slow methodical beating.
About time, that was just unpleasant to watch. Ridiculously outmatched.
Alright,fill me in, how good is Frank Mir?

Love him or hate him, Sonnen is just darn entertaining
Very good but a notch below the top-tier heavyweights. Good but not great striker with a top-notch submission game but comparatively weak takedown defence and offensive wrestling. Off the top of my head I'd put him in the lower half of the top 10 heavyweights, behind Cain, JDS, Overeem, Cormier, Barnett, Werdum and possibly one or two others. On his day he can be a fairly dangerous opponent for anyone, especially on the ground. I hope Cormier skull-fecks him if they fight.
Sad to see Strikeforce end. They've staged some fantastic events. The main event was the only upset but I enjoyed the fights tonight. Mousasi put in an excellent performance against a dangerous opponent, and I'm relieved that Cormier got the job done with no fuss.
I missed all of this. Caught up most of the fights though.
Marquardt's leg, looks mangled.

UFC ultimate 100 knockouts tonight at 12am on espn, should definitely be worth a watch

"Look, I'm already rich. I don't care about the money, I don't care about the fame, I do care about kicking people's ass."
That's possibly my favourite quote ever.
That guy is such a nutcase. Love his response to RampagePretty excited for the Bisping fight tonight. Expecting him to win this one and have too much for Belfort really. Belfort is always dangerous while it's standing, but it's still tough to see him beating Bisping here. Expecting Bisping to win pretty much every round that it lasts for and more than likely finish Belfort in this one.
Though the last time I was making predictions was the JDS/Cain fight and I couldn't of been much more wrong then!

Hope Belfort destroys him.
Cannot see bisping finishing him, but I can see him getting a decision.

Cant see Belfort lasting the five rounds personally. Expect Bisping will be much better conditioned and that'll show if it reaches the later rounds (this is a five round fight). The longer the fight goes, the more it favors Bisping and I can see him finishing a tired Belfort.
Anyone know if there are any facebook fights tonight? I'm at work and can't check it but I still can access facebook, so it would be great.
Only one unfortunately, Francisco Trinaldo vs. C.J. Keith
Do you know what time it starts, numbers?
22.35
You can watch the rest of the prelims on the UFC website. Well I can in the UK, not sure about where you're at.
I'm in Belgium, I'll try that mate, thanks.

If Bisping can withstand Belfort's onslaught in the first round and make it to next round, he'll end up winning. In fact, I think almost all of Belfot's wins in the UFC have been through finishes in the first round. Whenver he's fought the distance, he's had problems. For Bisping it's the opposite story; the longer the fight goes, the more he's likely to end up winning in the end.
Don't think either one will beat Silva obviously, but I'd like to see Bisping try his chance as he's waited long enough and deserves it.

Yea, when it's being shown that text disappears and you can click watch. At least, that's how it usually works.
Huge suplex there.

Oh well, I'll acquire it tomorrow then.
Edit - Nevermind watching them now on the Fuel tv website.
Wagner Prado looks hilarious with that hair and moustache.
Could only see the facebook fight apparently. I give up, I'll watch it tomorrow.
Good amount of finishes to far.
On Sonnen 2:40 OnTwo in a row, couldn't of been more wrong yet again. Oh dear
I've genuinely got zero interest in even entertaining the idea of Belfort/Silva.

A sad end to a legend and one of the most funniest characters in mma. Should have retired a while ago. Rampage, your days in Pride and early UFC will be remembered.
Anthony Pettis
Never did I see that fight ending by Cerrone going down from a body shot. Glover vs Rampage was also really good, Glover had him beat everywhere though. I really like Rampage but he obviously has some strange mental problems.
Guida can get fecked.

I've always like Rampage, even if he's become a bit of a whinger of late.
Man, Pettis is a great fighter to watch. Kids got some sick moves...
He attempted a handstand kick at one point too but I can't find a gif of it.
Get him rematched with Henderson ASAP.

That cartwheel handstand kick thing was stunning. Henderson is fighting Melendez next I think, Pettis should get the winner.
