The MMA thread

Nearly got him

Lorenzo and Dana shot up at that last punch

How any man can take a punch like that :lol:
 
Ok fecking pumped for this next fight.

Alvarez UFC career haven't impressed me, but ive been watching some of his old stuff and he really is a pragmatist that will rise to the level required. If this goes to Brawl-land is anyone's land.

RDA favourite, but it wont be easy. Alvarez is ready to die before giving up.

high hopes for this one.
 
Excited for this. I think RDA will win but I reckon Eddie will surprise some people by putting up a good fight.
 
I'm not a big fan of Eddies style

So I'm an RDA fan tonight

Could easily be a 5 round grind though
 
wonder who is gonna get the shot next... hopefully el Cucuy is next in line.

Alvarez does really good as the underdog, but can he be the main dude?

good times ahead...
 
Everybody stop what you are doing and go and watch Joe Rogans fight companion which is live in youtube right now. :lol::lol:

Take it back to when the barage starts, it's absolutely hilarious.
 
are we gonna have a new dominant champ anytime soon?

Mighty Mouse is the only one. In a time when the level is so high, he deserves a statue.

Khabib once he gets his shot will be I think. Cruz is pretty doninant as well if you look back before the lay off as well. If JJ beats Gadelha she's done a number on the division with no real threats arising.
 
Anderson at the post fight press conference. Dana explaining his reasoning behind Tate being the main event.

Side note: No more Brazilian champions in the UFC from how dominant they were it's crazy. However there could be 2 new Brazilian champs and another Interim champion if things go there way.

i wonder if its something really possible... maybe "dominant" in the upcoming years is gonna be defending the belt 2-3 times at most.
Jones was the other who might could have done it, but...

fecking crazy. I'm still shaked by his victory. I was convinced RDA was gonna hold to the belt a little bit longer.

What is it with the champs trying to make a point just to end up playing the opponent's game. Werdum, Rhonda, RDA. who else? i'm sure there are more examples in recent times...

Alvarez is brilliant on sticking to the plan. It seems is quite an important aspect sometimes overlooked. He might keep the belt for a while... ;)

many emotions tonight, good card.

Who will be making his ufc debut tonight if I'm not mistaken. That will be exciting to see, could be a real contender.

I think that stat is referring to the current Bellator champ though since Brooks has left.

His reasoning was bullshit considering the main event was supposed to be a non title fight (McGregor) originally. The worst fight on the card is headlining....people will be leaving the arena I bet. Just stick Silva vs. Cormier or Lesnar as the main event and put Tate as co-main if they want. It just seems odd to be honest.

The Brazilian thing is crazy, they've struggled a lot since USADA stuff came in to be honest. Might be a coincidence but I dunno if it is. All on Aldo and Gadelha overn ext couple of nights, I think Aldo will be close but can see Claudia winning.

Kind of feel a bit sorry for RDA now, he had the biggest pay day of his career taken off him by injury and now will be unlikely to get that shot again.

I was worried for Joey there! Looked like he was having a stroke!
 
Meisha Tate almost didn't make weight. What a disaster that would have been

Johnny Hendricks missed weight. Not for the first time struggling. He really should have to move up now, but seems too small to be a middleweight
 
Hendricks would get murdered the next weight class up, don't seem him getting near top 5 in that division.
 
Hendricks needs a new division... too small for Middleweight, too fat for Welter.

2 hours for the early prelims!

come on Celtic kid!!!!!! pumped as feck for his US debut.

I like his opponent too, but ill be rooting for the kid. Too much future both guys.
 
:lol: Just heard about Jon Jones... oh dear.

Amazed at how quickly everyone is throwing him under the bus though. I don't believe he'd willingly take PED's, you can call me naive but I really don't. Especially after being such a long time out.
 
Tempted to stay up for TUF card. Excited to see the two TUF finales and of course Joanna v Claudia.
