The MMA thread

I've just joined the league! (though has me under pending members along with Martin, need to be accepted by the league owner?)

Apparently there was a fecking invisible ad/bar blocking the roster name box. I kept clicking to enter a name and it wouldn't let you...a fecking invisible blocker :lol:

Midweek card was really good. Really pleased with the results. Had Condit by TKO finish, great performance from him. Bubba lost, thank feck. McGee was awesome as always (wanted him to win here, wasn't too confident but he dug deep and came strong in the third). Though two opposite 30-27's? Judges really are appalling at times. Dos Anjos with another strong showing as expected and Gastelum with the first round finish, quality night. Perez/Mizugaki my FOTN though, loved that one.

Pumped for tonight's card. Think Henderson get's his revenge here and Barnett murders Mir.

Edit: Team name is Alliance Of Violence for the fantasy league.
 
Hard to disagree with that Flagg. Think there will be a lot of fights left to the judges.

Joined that league thing. I've gone Barnett but I've got a sneaky feeling for Mir. Trouble is with him you never know which Mir will show up.
 
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
Agree with most of that except the Mir loss.

Join the fantasy league aswell, Randall. Name Changed posted it a page or two back.
 
Woah hold on... You've gone Pettis? Nah. I think Henderson grinds out the win this time, GSP style.

I also think Rothwell could ko Vera. He (Vera) often flatters to deceive.

feck it in going with that.
 
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

Welter B Thatch USA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Middle B Tavares USA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Middle B McDaniel USA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0


Thatch - 20pts
Tavares - 10pts
McDaniel - 2pts
Perez - 4pts
Whittaker - 4pts
Gastellum - 20pts
Dos Anjos - 10pts
Condit - 14pts

five wins, three losses = 84pts. Wasn't in your league and my points didn't go through (maybe because I submitted it after 9pm?), but there you go.

EDIT: Does captain/champion score double? 98 if so. Gonna own this league yo'.

GSP dominates and easily wins, Henderson has scraped through some of his fights. Think his luck runs out tonight.

It's a great division though, don't think there is anyone in it that can be a dominant champ.
 
Hopefully.

This fight is what GSP v Silva would look like if they were the same weight class. I'll always pull for the striker but wrestling is so damn effective.
 
Forgot to do my fantasy picks. Absolutely disgusted. I was on the site and all adding the new lads. I would have had Mendes as captain and picked Pettis and Barnett.
