Dominick Cruz is out with an ACL injury.
I feel horrible for Cruz. He looked really good in his comeback fight. He can't catch a break.
Pun intended?Quote:

I want Jones to win, but Cormier is very good, amd I can see him leaving with the title that day.
Big fight tomorrow! I want Cormier to win, wonder how many times Jones will poke him in the eyes lol. Refs need to start deducting points from him straight away rather than just giving him warnings all the time
Today's the big fight, and it should be a good one, but I hope it lives up to the hype.
Jon Jones with another impressive victory.
It was impressive that he fought for 25 minutes with only 1 poke in the eyes lol :clap:Quote:

I think Cormier had the same problem Gustafsson had, and that's their not use to being in those championship rounds.
Jon Jones in rehab for testing positive for Cocaine back on Dec. 4th.
Cormiers Corner did him a major diservice!
They kept insisting that he should get a take down !
it like they would disown him or not doing that after being taken down by Jones!
Cormier was doing fine the first 2 rounds.
One thing i noticed is that cormier didnt use any kicks, whereas Jones was kicking more.
After it became a hugging match ! Im surprised Herb let them stall on the cage like that.
Cowboy Cerrone looks good! apparently he will be fighting benson henderson in the next month or so
Next month... try two weeks.Quote:

Cerrone's ground game was entering that first round against Jury.
Cerrone's my favourite fighter but I think he taking too much chances here of taking an L and falling back down the ranking. I was kind of hoping he would be fighting Khabib but I guess that fight would be too far away, as they were saying June is when Khabib would be returning.
For the most part, I thought UFC 182 was a snorefest. That Paul Felder fight was impressive, as that guys like a clone of Cerrone.
Im surprised they let Cerrone fight in 2 weeks...of all people Bendo!
Dont fighters get a medical suspension as a preventative measure ?
7 days or 168 Hours before stepping into the ring or cage to fight again, if no injuries present. http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFRules15.htmQuote:

Connor McGregor and Dennis Siver tonight, hoping that Connor gets beat but it'll probably be another easy win for him! Donald Cerrone vs Benson Henderson should be good
http://i.imgur.com/y7snkRK.jpg
The Conor McGregor fight doesn't make much sense for his hype. Placing a #5 against a #10, really? The only recollection I have of Dennis Siver fighting is him being ridiculously gassed in later rounds. I've never seen Conor fight but I'm guessing the UFC is trying to build the hype and his win streak against weaker competition since he's marketable. I'd like to see how he rebounds from being so gaunt looking at weigh-ins.
I'm more excited about the Cerrone vs. Henderson fight. Unfortunately, I think Cerrone is taking it way too lightly not studying his opponent for some weaknesses. If he truly hasn't watched Benson's last 3 fights like Donald has said, then he's walking into this fight blind. There's a couple fights lately that shows how to get Cerrone off his game. Hoping he gets the "W", as he really should be inline for the title shot since Khabib is out for a while.

If someone from the UFC conveyed that, it pretty much shows the ranking system means nothing. If Conor wins, is he going to move up in the rankings? If so, why and how when he's fighting a #10. Obviously, everyone's got to fight someone behind them in the rankings but this fight match-up makes no sense. Connor should of been matched up to fight someone in the #1-4 spot, since all those fighters have already lost to José Aldo at least once.Quote:

Fox Sports 1 cut away early from Conor McGregor's middle finger to Dennis Siver before their UFC Fight Night featherweight bout (Siver wouldn't touch gloves).
Fox Deportes stuck with the gesture:
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...g0j9enmkxr.gif
then he jumps in the crowd and yells in Aldo's face lol
Aldo will destroy him
I thought Bendo won that fight but another close one that can go either way
McGregor is like a WWE gimmick
Hes like Chael Sonnen
Luke Rockhold is a dickhead
Gus got KOed by rumble
alot of ppl are saying that Rumble headbutted him first
and that the ref stopped it wayy early
thoughts?
nick diaz vs anderson silva coming up
I didn't think it was an early stoppage, Johnson just caught him and finished it. I didn't expect it to end like that, impressive win for him. Will be interesting to see him fight Jones.
Can't wait for Silva vs Diaz!!
Everyone has a chance but I have a hard time seeing Diaz pulling this one off. I have a hard time recalling his fights, it seems like so long ago. All I remember from his fights is his inside dirty boxing which I believe Anderson will counter with Muay Thai knees. Unless Diaz uses his BJJ on the ground, it's going to be a long night if he tries and stays standing the whole time, especially on the outside. I wouldn't be surprised if Diaz attacks the previously injured leg on the ground a lot and then switches to kimura attempts. That's the only way I see Diaz pulling it off since he was so dominated and 1-dimensional against GSP. Neither of these two have wrestling on their side, which should make this fight interesting.
I think we'll see a big size difference. Anderson has fought a number of LHW's and he doesn't look particularly small against them. Lets hope he doesn't try to showboat.
I find it interesting that both Diaz brothers are triathletes. Didn't see it coming from all the weed talk surrounding them.

Anderson has a rod in his leg (unless they took it out)

these guys respect eachother. Theres no trash talk or anything.
Diaz has gona MIA for 2 days (unless they found him by now)
Cerrone is willing to step up and take the fight
Lol, Diaz showed up. I think it was just the UFC hyping things up, doubt he would miss a payday like this! I think Anderson has that rod in his leg for life now, won't affect Diaz but I'm wondering if Silva will still be confident enough to throw kicks with it, rooting for Silva all the way but it should be a good stand up fight whoever wins...Quote:

Yeah the main event turned out to be pretty underwhelming, like you said Diaz was just after that paycheck! Thought it was still a good performance from Silva, he had Diaz outclassed but he played it safe imo, probably could have finished it if he really went for it
Fight was wack, neither fighter should of won. Diaz clearly showed up for the bread.
Tyron Woodley and his fight against Gastelum was even worse. He might of outclassed Gastelum with accuracy but he didn't come to fight at all. He's got the Rashad Evans persona.
So the results that both fighters failed the drug tests took almost a month to come in, and they just happen to not come in until shortly after the fight? Right.. lol
-Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar could not explain why he did not receive the test result sooner. He referred questions to Dr. Daniel Eichner of SMARTL, but Eichner could not be reached.
Aguilar did say that had he gotten the results in a timely manner, he would not have allowed Silva to fight.
"I would have had no problem calling the fight once I had this result," Aguilar said. "Those are not acceptable substances. But at the very least, by doing this out-of-competition test, we found this. We wouldn't have known had we not done the out-of-competition test."
Not the first time that's happened either, UFC doesn't want to lose that PPV money! They're all about the $$$
Not surprised about Diaz but didn't expect Silva to get caught, guess he needed a little something extra to recover from that injury...smh
Just stumbled across these. A little late but still on point.
