The MMA thread

I can't stand McDaniels, was hell watching him on TUF.

I'm going with Condit to finish Kampmann, should be a cracker either way. Decent test for Gastelum too, expect he'll come through that one though. Whittaker is coming off a really good win, big fan of McGee though and hoping he can pull it off.

Excited for the card. Know most of the fighters involved and interested to see how the former TUF one's do here.

That's the only reason I watch TUF. Just so that I'll have some idea of who the new fighters are and how they fight. I usually skip most of the episode until the actual fighting part.

Really? I like TUF, can't wait till this year's edition. Women and men living together for a few weeks in the house, there'll be a lot of alpha male behaviour I bet.

There also seems to be some serious bad blood between Rousey and Miesha Tate. So yeah, I'll definately watch this one.

Most of it is boring! Even the in-fighting in the house is just cringy. Who could forgot "Just let me bang bro"? That was fecking awful, although it was hilarious :lol:



Carwin/Nelson season was just really bad overall.
 
:lol: I so hated that attention seeking retard. I'm still amazed nobody kicked his ass in there.

Roids are bad, m'kay.

Ricci should have won that edition, can't stand the guy who won either. The chump that faked touching of the gloves to go for a takedown in his first fight, what a fecking loser. :lol:

Yea he was a knob. I was just looking at other past coaches there, the one with Rampage/Rashad was pretty great. Especially the constant taunting of the fat guy who he kept calling titties. Cruel as feck but hilarious.

That's the season I started watching it because of Kimbo Slice. It was indeed the best season to date.

I really wanted to watch some of the earlier ones, especially the one with Forrest Griffin, but I couldn't find any good quality versions unfortunately.

I watched them all on some website and they were decent quality, that was a few years ago. I still have the link if you want it?
 
Season One was easily the best for talent and obviously the most important considering what came with the Bonnar/Griffin final. You had Bonnar, Griffin, Sanchez, Swick, Koscheck, Florian and Leben.

Had quite a few good recent ones too and coming off of the back of a pretty good season. Rousey/Tate has potential to be one of the best, if not the best for actual entertainment and television viewing. Starts airing next week on the 4th (I'd advise most to check it out, should be a quality season).

Looked it up and it seems it'll air here in the UK on BT Sports 2 starting 11pm till 1am on the 5th (Thursday). The day before is UFC FN: Bader/Teixeira.

Checked it out but the layout of the site is fecked, is that just my end? Their top bar overruns the graphic of the fighters on that front page and it does it throughout when signing up and picking fighters. Also for the life of me cant find where to join the league? Picked my fighters for the next card, clicked continue and it just kept refreshing the same page. Not sure if it's the site or my end.

Heads up for anybody who forgot that UFC FN 27 is tomorrow night. There's a small preview show at 21:30 and then the prelims start at 23:00 with the main show starting at 1am.

I have no problem with it anyway! It's not terribly user friendly when doing it on the mobile though. It took me about 15 minutes. Grand on the laptop though.
 
I'm expecting Condit to knock Kampmann out this time. Condit is class.

I'm really looking forward to Serrone's fight also. They are always awesome.

:lol: More seriously though, was he on roids? That level of aggression didn't look human. What was it even over?

:lol:

My mate watched loads of TUF in one go. Never really appealed to me but I might start watching it.
 
How great does Kelvin Gastelum look for such a young kid? Future champion right there I reckon.

Loved the fight between McGee and Whittaker.

I think Carlos Condit has got to be my favourite fighter in the UFC right now, he's just fecking awesome.I hope he gets the winner of Hedrikx vs GSP for another shot at the belt.
 
So, here's my deal. I tried to pick the fighters and join the league a while ago but had the same problem as Cass in that it kept resetting. So I tried to pick the ones I remembered, and ended up picking two from the same fight. In any case:
Bantam E Perez MEX 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Light R Dos Anjos BRA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Welter K Gastelum USA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Welter R Whittaker AUS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Welter C Condit USA

Middle B Tavares USA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Middle B McDaniel USA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Gastelum looked freaking great, on another level from his last fight. Loved the confidence to take the back even though he could have kept swinging. He's gonna be fun to watch!

I watched the first episode of S5 last night. Quite liked it. Been looking for something new to watch.

By the way, did Thatch win his fight last night? If so I think I'd be on 4-4 or 5-3. Not a bad first week.

Dunno I only watched the main card. I guess he did though, as I think I saw him win knockout of the night iirc.
 
That was a great card, think Condit is my favourite fighter in the UFC right now. Hopefully he gets a shot at GSP/Hendricks

Yeah, he's won me over again since that farce of a 'fight' against Diaz. The guy has no quit in him whatsoever and when he gets a sniff of blood he's all over you.
 
Benson Henderson vs. Anthony Pettis - Pettis - Split decision
Frank Mir vs. Josh Barnett - Barnett - Unanimous decision
Chad Mendes vs Clay Guida - Mendes - Unanimous decision
Ben Rothwell vs. Brandon Vera - Vera - Unanimous decision
Erik Koch vs. Dustin Poirier - Koch - TKO

Not expecting many finishes, but main event should be excellent. Barnett and Mir will stink the place out
