The MMA thread

Hard to see who can take that belt now. The flyweight division is far from stacked.

That Brazilian, Lineker is good, but keeps missing weight. Dana has given him one last chance.
 
McKenzie forgot his shorts and ended up buying basketball shorts from a Local shop. The feckin price tag was still on and Herb Dean ripped it off in the 1st round.

Dana not happy

Now he's on the Dolce diet. Reportedly is that he's already doing great. The guy had an awful diet, with sodas and junk all the time.

And Barboza had so much heart. Gotta love the kid, and his kicks from hell.
 
So, now that Gustafsson made Jones look mortal, and Weidman did the same yo Anderson Silva, is Jose Aldo now the most dominant belt holder? Looking forward to seeing his amazing skill on display again, I can't see any featherweight beating him.

Can't wait to see Condit fight again, and he's drawn the devastating Tyron Woodley or ufc 171...that should be amazing!
 
I'd imagine Cain is now that he's effectively finished JDS's prospects at the belt for the foreseeable future.

Unless Jones moves to the heavyweight class.

From Manchester Uniteds defence.
 
The most dominant for me is either Aldo or Mighty Mouse.

Can't wait until next Saturday, I can't call it between Weidman vs Silva. Would be stunned if Silva got knocked out again but could see him being wrestled and beat in a decision. Or Silva will just steamroll him, gonna be amazing.
 
I can't fecking wait either, going to be a great fight I think. I'm curious to see if Silva is going to leave out his clown act in the cage, I suspect not because that's just part of his style.

Can't see past another Weidman win, the guy is just too well rounded. Always liked Silva, but his time is over I think

Yeah, I've been wondering that too. If he doesn't clown around, then it shows everyone that he's worried about Weidman a little bit. I don't think he did anything like that when he thought Chael the second time? Got wrestled in the first and then came out in the second and destroyed him, I imagine he must want to do similar to Weidman here, try and show everyone it was a lucky punch.

Biggest fight of the year?

Yeah, the one I'm looking forward to the most, definately. I might buy PPV, if some of you guys are around to watch it live.
 
I would have bought it on ufc.tv but it's blocked now because they show it on BT Sport here, which I don't have. So now I'm going to stream it, feck you UFC. I can't even give you my money any more.

But yeah, I'll be here for sure.
 
As crazy as she is, I can't help but like Rousey and there's something about Tate that rubs me up the wrong way so I'm hoping for a 1st round armbar win.

I can see Silva doing exactly the same thing as he did in the first fight but this time winning by some sort of head kick.

I like Josh Barnett (mostly from interviews on podcasts rather than his fighting, he seems a really bright guy) so hope he gets a win. He's also older and chubbier than I am which are always qualities I admire in an athlete.
 
Me too, like Rousey a lot, I am sure she will learn from her portrayal on the UF.

Also hoping for a 1st round arm bar

Gonna be a great night. Want to see Silva destroy Weidman and likewise want to see Browne take out Barnett.


The undercard is very good too
 
UFC is gonna add a new weight class for the women, strawweight, 115 lbs and under.

Unlike in past seasons of the long-running show in which winners earned trophies and six-figure contracts with the UFC, the “TUF 20” victor will be crowned the first UFC women’s strawweight champion. A total of 16 women will compete on the show, and 11 have already been named. All 11 fighters come to the UFC after having their contracts transferred from Invicta FC.
The star-studded lineup includes many of the top female fighters in the 115-pound weight class. Among them is Invicta FC strawweight champion Carla Esparza (9-2), who captured the title in January. Esparza has tasted defeat just once in her past seven fights and now looks to add another prestigious championship to her mantle.
Also confirmed for “TUF 20” is unbeaten Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Claudia Gadelha (11-0), who was scheduled to challenge for Esparza’s Invicta FC title earlier this month before an illness canceled the fight. Fast-rising star Tecia Torres (4-0) is seen by many as a potential “TUF 20” finalist thanks to her three impressive victories this year. Highly touted Scottish striker Joanne Calderwood (8-0) will also compete on the show.
The remainder of the cast currently features Felice Herrig (9-5), Bec Hyatt (5-3), Juliana Lima Carneiro (6-1), Alexandra Chambers (4-1), Emily Kagan (3-1), Rose Namajunas (2-1) and Paige VanZant (3-1).

Yeah, I was looking at the UFC wiki page the other day and was wondering what it was when I saw it.

Redsky can get into the UFC at last.
 
I can't wait for this fight. Seriously.

I used to train and the last three years has just been back to back knee and ankle problems and it has left me about 50/60 pounds overweight and I really couldn't stand to watch mma if I was unable to train.

Now all my ailments appear to be behind me I have fallen back in love with watching it and I am looking forward to training in the new year.
 
Chris Lieben vs Uriah Hall should ve a cracker aswell. :drool:

So many great fights, Saturday can't come fast enough.
 
Rumours of Brock Lesnar returning, probably not much to it, I dunno? Same thing about Shane Carwin. Considering how shallow the heavyweight division is, it would certainly be interesting!

Diego Brandao weighed in at 153lbs tonight, which is hilarious considering he's supposed to be 145.

Damn, is the fight still going through? I friggin hope so 'cos I was really looking forward to that one aswell.
 
Maybe he crashed into a donut factory?

What do people think about Silva v Weidman then? Tempted to have a bet on Weidman. I think he might have Andersons number.
 
Okay...this gets weirder. I don't think Brandao has a clue he missed weight, maybe he thinks he's a lightweight now.

The most retarded thing is that he still used that extra hour you get to try and cut more weight, and got down to 151.5lb! But then he posted on twitter he made weight...either his coaches are lying to him or he's just hoping his fans on twitter don't follow everything closely enough to realise he didn't make weight.
