love the promo !! chael knows how to hype up a fight, and wanderlei knows how to add more gas to the fire !!

I read that the next TUF coaches were Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn?
not sure why because I feel Edgar has been doing great, while Penn
hasnt been the same fighter. Penn took a beating in his last 2 fights and im sure he will catch it again VS Edgar.

Velasquez will probably face JDS again in the future

Rumors have it JDS vs OVEREEM (if the Reem wins his next fight VS Mir)

Cheers:beer:

I can't see them ever fighting again, because the last two fights were so one sided.

I just read that it's going to be the Brazilian one, and Edgar and Penn will be th host of the next season for the one in the States, so you were right.

This week is UFC Fight Night 30 Machida vs. Munoz.

hahah ohhhhh nooooo, Doesnt everyone in Brazil hate Sonnen ?
Wandy is loved by everyone in Brazil..That just makes ultimate fighter
Brazil sooo much more interesting !!

What I like about Penn Edgar TUF, is the coaches Penn chose for his camp
Mark Coleman as wrestling coach
http://www.bjpenn.com/photo-full-tea...ed-for-tuf-19/

Id like to see Barnett go for a Gold run ! The guy has been in the sport for a looong time !

JDS will get another shot, besides Barnett I dont see anybody beating him in the division. Im interested to see how Cormier will fair in light heavyweight

That's what makes it even more interesting, because of the heat Sonnen will get.

The Penn/Edgar fight will end the same way as the first two.

Barnett won't beat Cain

I think Cormier will do good in the Light Heavyweight division. Am hearing his first fight might be vs Alexander Gustafsson, and I imagine the winner of that fight (if it does happen) will face the winner of Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira. A fight between Cormier, and Jones would get hype I think, because they have a feud kind of going on.

I dont think anybody in Brazil would want to be on Sonnens team!
hahah !
Thats gonna be one beefy TUF !!


Cormier vs Gus will be an interesting fight !!!
Cormier's last fight against Nelson looked like he was just toying with Nelson.
Gus looked really good against Bones Jones.
what a way to be welcomed to the division eh?

I have a soft spot for Barnett, I actually met the dude and hes quite funny
and really nice. He autographed something for a fan and wrote Dolph Lundgren
the fan looked confused and then he said "its the only way that pic would be worth $$ in the future", he then took it back and said "ok fine " he crossed off the dolph signature, then wrote his name under it.
It was friggen hilarious.

That said, he may not be able to beat Cain but I think it will be a dog fight
and Cain will be tested. (at least I hope)

Nelson has looked bad his last two fights; All he tries to do is knock you out, and if he can't do that he gets beat easily.

Will Nelson be cut now? Heard Bellatour was trying to sign him?

I think he will be around for one, or two more fights, and it will depend on how he does in those fights, but maybe just one if he is in another fight were he looks bad. His best chance to win is to face someone not athletic. but even than maybe his chance are slim, because I think people have figured him out, and know all you have to do is dodge the big punch, but it's crazy, because he knows how to do submissions, in fact I heard he is good at it, and that use to be the type of fighter he was, however I guess he won so many fights by ko he became dependent on it.

I would not be shocked if Bellatour signed him, because that seems to be the place were former UFC stars, or people that could not cut it in the UFC go. They have a PPV coming up, and the main event is between Tito Ortiz, and Rampage Jackson, and this fight would have been great if it would have taken place when both were in their prime, and major contenders in the lightheavy weight division rankings in MMA, but they're not, so what you have is a company whose first PPV main event is between to washed up fighters. I still hope it's a good fight.

I will watch that PPV. Not sure how great that fight will be.
I remember rampage and tito were in TNA wrestling and Rampage got a hammer to the back by Tito.




I know Dana was going off on that Tito vs Rampage fight...lol


i wonder who Nelson will fight next.
I heard he might consider dropping weight. He is really good at submissions, probably just as good as Mir.
I think he needs to change camps. Maybe he should join Hendricks camp?

Cormier was talking about fighting Nog or Davis in his first LHW bout.

ORTIZ is OUT with an injury !

Rampage ortiz scrapped...they are looking for a replacement vs Rampage
No longer on PPV this will be moved to SPIKE

Wait, I thought Fox had a contract with UFC.

my bad- edited

spike tv

Honestly even if Tito did not get hurt they should have had it on Spike, becsude I doubt many people were going to order it.

Dana white was making a meal out of this announcement.
But hes right, Tito is at a point where he is injury prone and will cost losing a ppv main event.
I agree Spike Tv wouldve been a better idea to avoid the predicament they are in now.
I dont think the PPV would've sold as much. I usually watch it online since in Japan they dont really show much MMa at the pubs.
Before they would show pride on TV...ahhhh the good ol days:beer:

UFC at three P.M today (East coast time)

Lyoto Machida defeated Mark Munoz with a nasty head kick. He might be a force to be wreckin' with at Middle Weight!!!!

That fight was just awful (up to the point when machida landed that head kick).
They did Literally NOTHING the whole fight! This is why I dont really want to watch training partners fight, especially when they dont want to fight eachother.
Munoz didnt fight his fight, and Machida didnt really impose his.

Gus vs Rogero Nogueira scheduled for March 8 in London

wonder who Cormier will get...Machida maybe? Davis?


Rumors going around - If GSP wins his next fight he will retire? UFC feel he is overstaying his stay and plays it safe (the iceman took some shots at GSP)

I hope he does not retire, and GSP>Iceman.

GSP is a madman and looks obsessed on besting hendricks!! He bought an official sized ring just to train in!

enjoy the preview

I don't know who I want to win in this fight

Looking forward to seeing Daniel Straus fight tonight. The King Mo/Newton & Chandler/Alvarez rematches should be on point as well. I wouldn't have ordered this PPV, so I'm glad it's coming on Spike. Tito always has some sort of injury lol.

that chandler alvarez fight was really good
i really thought chandler took the W
was surprised to see a champ lose split decision like that
you wouldn't see that in the UFC

I didn't see the fight, because I was sick, and I forgot to dvr it. Was it good?

Yes the fight was well worth it
I think if you google it you can find the full fight

Im picking Hendricks to take the title & Vitor over Henderson on saturday

GSP to get a decision Win against Hendricks.

Hendricks will pose a challenge but GSP always finds a "weakness" in his opponents and finds a way to win (playing it safe).

Vitor and Hendo are both on TRT
so that should be an interesting bout

Vitor's a machine now.

I missed the Cruickshank fight that I wanted to see. Too bad he lost as I like his style and kicks.

Belfort !!!

I really thought Henderson was going to recover after the first hit
but that kick really was the nail in the coffin.
Im pretty sure Henderson could've continued but after what happened to jds im glad the ref stopped it

It's not as if he jumped right up after the ref called it for the flash knockout. Sure Henderson is known for weathering the storm, but Belfort isn't the type to hesitate and have self-control about punching a guy that might be out like Lyoto Machida. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a third fight way down the road since they're now 1-1 against each other. That is if Vitor catches a lost on his way to the top. By the way, Henderson caught Vitor with a hook during that onslaught and Vitor didn't even seem to flinch/miss a beat.

^ yup !! would like to see them fight again. Hendo has a good chin tho, Belfort really had to stick on him. And how Belfort just walked through that punch was really something.
At one point during the knockout I thought Hendo was gonna get that arm bar.

Theres alot of criticism about Belfort always fighting in Brazil. This was his 3rd time fighting there, and many speculate its because the rules are lenient on the use of TRT.

Rumors of GSP either retiring or moving up a weight class if he beats Hendricks.


UFC Primetime GSP vs Hendricks (in case you havnt seen it):beer:

Im also picking Sonnen over Rashad & Koshceck over Woodley.

This next card has some heavy hitters. I'll have to remember to watch it.

- GSP will win over Hendricks but hoping for the latter to pull it off. Tired of watch GSP lay on top of his opponent for 5 rounds without the refs standing them up more. Watching all those videos on their background leading up to this fight, it almost seems like Hendricks had one of those (hockey) dads that pushed them to their limit constantly. Where as, Hendricks comes off pretty soft spoken in interviews.
- Don't care about Evans vs Sonnen fight as it's showboat vs cockiness
- Love to see Lawler throw some bombs
- Hope Cerrone utilizes his kick game again, rather then push forward with punches
- For some reason I thought Leben was on this card. Would have been fitting. Will see him throw bombs at Christmas time though.

I want Hendricks to win, but I will never doubt GSP, and if he does win I won't mind, because I like both fighters.

As far as the co-main event goes I don't really care either.

I thought Hendricks won that fight.

I thought Hendricks won too, but it was a close fight. I was surprised Hendricks didn't fade in the later rounds, he looked good tonight.

Glad to see my boy Rashad beat Chaels ass. That made my night for sure. Robbie Lawler beating Rory was a bonus for me.

Hendricks should of won but overall the event had a few really good fights

Hendricks should've been more convincing each round.
He even said he gave like 75% and dana responded "you shouldve given 100"
shut him up. Giving a person a bloody face doesn't win a fight in the ufc.

Gsp is a good point fighter, he landed more significant hits and had 1 more takedown over Hendricks.
Gsp also didnt seem like himself, The retirement mustve had him all emo going into the fight.

this fight is alot like gus vs bones (couldve gone either way)


chael vs rashad
was like munioz vs machida, they didnt go all out becaus ethey are friends!

gsp had 3 rounds..Hendricks faded after round 1 try to come back in round 4
