hurry up with some good fights already
^ lmao
Michael Bisping vs Cung Le tonight, should be good
I didn't see the Benson Henderson/Rafael dos Anjos fight, but I did see the KO, and I don't know I think it might have been stopped too soon, but like I said I did not see it live.
^I don't think they ever showed a camera shot of his face, so it's hard to tell if it was a flash knockout or just a hard shot. His legs buckled.
The fight just before is an example of a ref letting the fighter try to recover. You can see how the fighter is hurting well after the fight probably from the extra shots.

against top opponents he seems to choke, hes been in the ufc for awhile now and never got a title shot.
Bendo was kinda robbed in that fight
it was stropped a bit too early.
Either way i didnt see him winning that fight. Perhaps he would've squeaked by him but who knows
Why are ppl thinking Cung Le was on something?
http://cdn2.cagepotato.com/wp-conten...-and-after.jpg
its because he got really "jacked" in a short amount of time?
that was the pic that was going around.
not sure if they were tested after the fight
^this, I like Bisping but I cant ever see him being champ, I'd like to see him get a title shot sometime though. Hopefully he can string a few more wins togetherQuote:

jacare souza looking good! i realy hope he gets a title shot next
lauzon vs chiesa got fight of the night
it was a great fight it just sucked it ended in a doctor stoppage
lauzon has the most fight of the night honors?
^ Watched the fights yesterday online. Nothing to write home about.
I like how often you can catch fights these days but it feels rather watered down. I only get interested in matches for about ten or so fighters these days.

UFC terminates Thiago Silva's contract (again), suspends Anthony Johnson indefinitely
http://mmajunkie.com/2014/09/ufc-ter...n-indefinitelyQuote:
The UFC has again released Thiago Silva, and fellow vet Anthony Johnson has been suspended indefinitely, the promotion today announced.
Both were the result of abuse allegations.
The UFC initially released Silva after an incident in February. Police said the fighter drove to Pablo Popovitch Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Oakland Park, Fla., and threatened his wife and Popovich with a gun before fleeing to his home, which led to a four-hour standoff with a S.W.A.T. team. He eventually came out of his home and was Tasered before being taken into custody.
The charges were eventually dropped when his wife was deemed “uncooperative” after she fled the country. Earlier this month, UFC President Dana White stated Silva “went through the legal process and came out of it untainted” and reasoned, “How do you not let the guy fight again?”
However, with additional information, likely from a recent Globo report, the organization today announced it’s terminated his contract:
Thiago Silva was released from his UFC contract on Feb. 7 due to his arrest by police in South Florida. The charges against Silva were dropped by the Broward County District Attorney’s office and Silva was re-signed to the UFC earlier this month. Based on new information received today in the form of video and audio evidence, Silva has been terminated from his UFC contract.
Johnson, meanwhile, is suspended indefinitely following allegations from the mother of his children that he struck her in 2012 and knocked out two of her teeth. She also alleges he’s been threatening her. BloodyElbow.com‘s Brent Brookhouse first reported the depth of the allegations.
The UFC’s statement read:
We are aware of the situation involving Anthony Johnson. As a result, we are suspending him indefinitely. We are using a third-party law firm to conduct a formal investigation and once we have more information, we’ll determine whether further course of action is necessary.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: nailed it!!
The Thiago Silva suspension should come as no surprise.Quote:

UFC 178 media day brawl will cost Jon "Bones" Jones big, he got into a fight with Daniel Cormier which helped them get a ton of publicity for the event—the Nevada Athletic Commission just decided to punish Jones for his role in it. They fined him $50,000 and told him that he will be required to do 40 hours of community service in Las Vegas because of the brawl.
And unfortunately for Jones, that's not all. In addition to those punishments, the UFC fighter also just revealed that he lost his Nike sponsorship a short time after the fight with Cormier took place and missed out on the chance to sign a six-figure deal with another potential sponsor. So all in all, his brawl with Cormier hurt him immensely.
"I made us all look bad," he said earlier today during a hearing, "and as a champion, it was a terrible thing."
Cormier was fined $9,000 and given 20 hours of community service.
178 tonight, Dustin Poirier vs Connor McGregor should be a good one. Would love to see Poirier win by ko or sub but I just can't see it...
Great PPV last night. Connor McGregor is that dude. He cracks me up when he talks shit, but he backs it up. Nice to see Dominick Cruz come back after all this time out. Sick win.
Have to admit he's good & his shit talking is funny sometimes but he just annoys me at the same time lol. He does a good job of getting in peoples heads before the fight, got a good chance to get the belt imo but I would love to see someone shut him up!Quote:

You had to be somewhat foolish not to pick Cruz for the win. He destroyed dude. Japanese fighters never transition well in the UFC and rarely put a run together.
I actually could care less about McGregor but he's a good self-promoters like Mayweather. I've never seen Poirier fight but he looked shook going into this.
I wished I watched the Romero fight and Cat fight more closely but just caught the last rounds.
I can't get into featherweights.
The fights I've caught of Cote, he's looked mad over-rated. Perhaps, it's because he's fighting top fighters now.
The overall card was fairly stacked.
Cruz returns after 3 yrs and demolished mizugaki
he then after called out faber saying faber has the most title match losses or something
and would destroy all of the alpha fails
bold statement
Am happy Cruz. and Cat won after both missing time due to injuries, especially Cruz, and now he can go get his title back that he never lost.

ANDERSON SILVA AND “SHOGUN” RUA WILL COACH THE FOURTH SEASON OF THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER® BRAZIL
http://www.ufc.com/news/Anderson-Sil...h-TUF-Brazil-4Quote:
Two of the greatest Brazilian fighters of all time will lead the search for the next generation of Brazilian mixed martial artists, as the UFC® and Globo announce that Anderson Silva and “Shogun” Rua will coach the fourth season of The Ultimate Fighter® Brazil.
The legendary icon Silva (33-6 in professional MMA, fighting out of Curitiba, Brazil), the longest-reigning and most successful UFC champion of all time, will coach the UFC’s flagship reality competition series for the first time. He will coach against a team lead by “Shogun” Rua (22-9, also fighting out of Curitiba, Brazil), the highly decorated striker and UFC light heavyweight champion. In this season’s format, the two coaches will not fight each other at the conclusion of the series.
Nearly 600 lightweight and bantamweight hopefuls attended TUF® Brazil 4 try-outs, which took place on October 27 in Rio de Janeiro.
UFC President Dana White said: “A lot of people were worried we’d never see Anderson Silva back in the UFC. But, not only is he back in the Octagon on January 31 at UFC 183, he’s coaching TUF for the very first time. Anderson Silva is as committed to the UFC and the sport of mixed martial arts than he’s ever been, and I cannot wait to see one of the greatest of all time pass his knowledge on to a new generation of Brazilian fighters.
“And if there’s any Brazilian fighter who can go up against Anderson as a coach, it’s Shogun. Shogun Rua has done everything in the sport and if he trains his team to fight in the same attacking style he’s always used, Anderson’s team is in for one hell of a season.”
After three hugely successful seasons filmed in Brazil, the action will now shift to Las Vegas, as the 16 finalists will be flown to live, train and compete in the fight capital of the world early in the New Year. The reality show will continue under the creative direction of legendary Brazilian TV producer Boninho, who promises the change of location will be one of many exciting innovations for the fourth season.
“Once again, The Ultimate Fighter Brazil was designed and developed by the great partnership between Globo and the UFC," Boninho said. "We’ve come up with some great concepts for this new season and supervised the creative execution of what I know will be another hit season.”
Silva added: "I think I can offer this next generation of Brazilian talent real insight into what it takes to succeed in the UFC. I will bring everything I know about the martial arts, and my own values of what it means to be a martial artist, to my team."
Rua said: "To coach on The Ultimate Fighter Brazil is a dream come true, and an opportunity I wanted for a long time. To have my team compete against a team coached by a legend and former training partner like Anderson Silva makes it even better! Me and Anderson go a long way, training together back when we were both aiming to be stars, and to do this with him now on the biggest platform and having a chance to show people what MMA is really about is just amazing! I look forward to finding great talent and helping them become winners!"

Cauliflower anyone?
anyone thinks Hendricks was robbed?
I felt Hendricks was playing it safe with his wrestling. His combos were good!
round 1 couldve gone either way (i sxcored ot for Hendricks)
round 4 again couldve gone either way but i picked Hendricks
and 5 went to Lawler
I think we will see a part 3
Sometimes playing it safe is not the safest move.
How do you's think CM Punk will do?
he'll beat a couple of nobody's then get a title shot, isn't that how it goes?
http://www.justpushstart.com/wp-cont...ock-lesnar.jpg
I think he will do fine, because he has been training for sometime now, but it all depends on what camp he goes with.
will he fight under the name CM punk?
here's a clue of what camp he's with
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LNN_PVqL2fQ/hqdefault.jpg
lol
It depends what team he trains (BTT etc) with, who his debut fight is with and what weight class he fights inQuote:

i think he has some legit mma bouts under his belt
who knows
I think he will either do real good on his debut or do really bad
He has actually been doing BJJ for a while but pretends that he is a white belt, I heard Joe Rogan mocking him the other day saying that he is a white belt. I think he could surprise a lot of people, there are youtube clips of him tapping out Rener Gracie repeatedly/
