The MMA thread

Bisping should win on paper but Hendo has a very real chance of landing a KO at any time. Rooting for Bisping as I've never really liked how Hendo routinely throws unnecessary strikes against already KO'd opponents. I'm feeling a bit nervous for Bisping as succumbing to another H-bomb seems like exactly the kind of thing the universe would do to be a sod.

Yeah, that flying elbow in UFC100 was stupid and dangerous beyond belief. Tarnishes his reputation for me.

Bisping comes in well prepared

The H-Bomb is the only thing he has to worry about. I think he will grind him out for 5 round and be good enough to avoid it
 
FP Prelims starting now. Crowd sounds loud already.

Edit: Horrible fight to start the night. Next one should be much better though.

Just be sure to avoid the news/internet in the morning. With it being a UK card there's a chance it gets some coverage.

Edit: Crazy slam in the Diakese fight. :lol:

Excited for this, the worst cards always have the best fights :)
Just home from the pub, hope i'll be able to stay up for the rest of the fights :)
 
Also props to Stasiak when he felt the tap... the referee was in a terrible position and missed the initial tap.
 
Wow, Iuri just destroyed Brad Pickett. That was just way too easy for Iuri right there. Brad couldn't even respond.
 
Man, Bektic is really promising there. His boxing and wrestling were both excellent right there, and he made a good decision persisting with the wrestling knowing that Doane would get tired and give in.
 
I always root for what looks like the underdog, when i dont know the fighters...
I get disappointed alot :)

Stupid that the event is American time...
Would be nice if us Europeans could watch an event that's not in the middle of the night...for once!
 
Good chance to Manuwa to get back into the mix. I don't rate OSP that highly really. It's Possible.

I hope Manuwa has recover from the Johnson mauling though, mentally.
 
I think Mousasi is gonna take this one.

Edit: And he does. Rumours are it could have been the last fight for Belfort. If so, it's not a great way to go out unfortunately. He should just have a showcase fight against some nobody on a Brazil card to retire on.
