The MMA thread

Do you honestly think people who previously weren't going to buy 200 will do so now because Lesnar is involved ? The popularity of this event was done and dusted well before Lesnar was paired with the mighty Mark Hunt. The hype surrounding the fight simply isn't there. And also, any numbers about him being a big draw were tabulated when he big five plus years ago and not during the intervening time when he's been completely invisible from the UFC narrative.
Wwe fans for sure will buy the event because of Lesner alone

UFC gained many wwe fans when Lesner initially fought for the company
 
Not sure how I'd feel about Silva/Cormier. I'm a huge Silva fan but I'd be worried that DC would absolutely rag doll him at this stage. Always pumped to see Silva fight though so I wouldn't be complaining.
 
White on Bispings chances of getting the fight

"Bisping just won the 185-pound title," White said. "And, let me tell you what Bisping does in his offseason. When Bisping is not training, Bisping goes on a bender. He's in no condition to fight Daniel Cormier, I'll tell you that."

:lol:

Fair fecks to Bisping for offering all the same
 
I think Bisbing offered to fight because he knew he'd never get the fight but could bang on about offering to take the fight. Might Mouse should have offered to fight as well.
 
feck that last fight of TUF... ufff tough shit.

Andrew Sanchez was my favourite and still is though.

Tatiana also looking good for the final.

Just watched it 20 mins ago. Real hard hitting fight. But he was gassing, I think stamsbury would have taken him if it had gone to a 2nd


So now I'm watching first of 36 fights over the next 3 days :drool:

I'm hoping I can stay up each night but it'll be hard

What time is it in Australia now?
 
Anderson recently had gall bladder surgery, so apparently that's going against him

I suppose it would make most sense to give it to moussassi even though it would be the fans first pick
 
Dustin Poirier destroyed him, so I was worried how he would react, but that was incredible

I reckon a bonus coming his way tonight too

yep, Poirier was a humbling experience (and a shout to improve his wrestling) but i was hopeful he would get the W, just not so fast.

Bit like Conor vs Aldo. If he didn't connect that first punch, who knows how it could have ended...

I was looking forward to him being tested in the wrestling area... didn't happen obviously.
 
Wow Lewis destroying him on the feet, but still the round ends with Nelson in full mount. He needs to get him down again right at the start of the next round. Can't take too much more punishment.
 
Wow

It's lasted far longer than I predicted but feck me

Poor ol Roy...he can still win this though on the ground, Lewis will gas
