Big Fights tonight more interested in Cody Garbrandt Vs Cruz than the Rousey fight. Normally I would say Garbrandt would win but Cruz has put down the best before so I think Cruz wins but am rooting for Garbrandt.

Pretty decent card overall.

I think Rhonda Rousey needed a sports psychologist. She was suicidal after her last match and just froze up tonight and got beaten badly in 48 seconds.

 

I hope she retires and I hope her camp doesn't leave her alone tonight.

 

she either needs to focus on fighting or movies you can't do both.

 

 

 

Watching Garbrandt dominate Cruz was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although he made mistakes in not finishing him on the ground when dropping him. The fight between Garbrandt and Dillishaw id going to be fantastic. Dillishaw probably had the best fight of the night.

Pretty decent card overall.

 

great card and it better be for the friggin price of 60 bux I remember paying 35 for these fights.

Rousey needs to either fire Edmond or retire. Her standup is still very basic and she can't avoid contact. That was a pathetic display.

 

She should go train with Bang Ludwig but she is super loyal so she may not want to changes coaches. If she really wants to do this then she needs to make a change.

She should have clinched, don't understand these grapplers who try to box when they are getting lit up.

Looked to me like Rousey just got outclassed and beat up......she tried to clinch and Nunez just pulled away from her.

 

It is interesting that my girl Tate lasted longer....not much but still.......

Marcin Held got screwed as he dominated his fight against Joe Lauzon, save for the elbows he took to the head in round one. Even Joe said he didn't win that fight.

Georges-St-Pierre-Penn4276UFC94-750.jpg

 

 

UFC president Dana White on Friday made Georges St-Pierre‘s return to the Octagon official.

 

While he fell short of naming a timeline or opponent for St-Pierre, White confirmed the former champion’s comeback to the L.A. Times following an earlier report this week by MMAFighting.com citing unnamed sources. White indicated the contract was signed on Thursday.

 

“He’s back. I’m excited,” White told the Times’ Lance Pugmire. “We worked at it for a long time and finally got it done.”

Fedor vs Mitrione tonight on Spike TV. I normally don't watch Bellator, but I'll tune in for this.

 

They are BANKING on it.

 

Actually Bellator has some really exciting fights every show. These guys aren't as reserved as many UFC fighters trying to protect their record so you see a lot of guys really get after it. plus their girls are hotter.

Derrick Lewis is an embarrassment to the sport of MMA. From laying on the ground after the fight because he was tired, claiming his stomach pain was because he needed to poop and then saying he doesn't want fight for 3 months because he's tired from having too much sex, then saying he wants Travis' girlfriend Rhonda Rousey.

nope just a brawler, which I think is his actual fight style, he needs lesson on being a professional and remember he is not in the hood. Heavyweight division is the worst sadly and most of the Talent is in other sports, although I don't know why more heavyweight wrestler don't get into MMA.

 

 

Could you imagine how awesome Alexander Karelin would have been.

Oh man I had the exact opposite reaction. I loved his interview. It was almost as good as Lesnar at UFC 100. He called Browne out for putting his hands on women and made a joke.

 

On a side note how long does Tarverdyan get to keep coaching fighters in the UFC. His fighter's records have not been good.

I've been all over Tarverdyan since the first time I saw her in the ring. She gets popped in the mouth EVERY TIME she fights. The difference in the last two fights is the women she's fought have power, so she's gotten totally rocked. Her hands are slow and she has zero head movement/defensive tactics. She certainly doesn't display the techniques of a seasoned world class fighter.

 

She should have fired ET after the HH fight but her pride wouldn't allow it. Now she's almost a joke and her legacy is essentially that of a bully. She can beat physically weaker fighters but the second she gets in the octagon with anyone on even close to equal footing, she's completely exposed.

I laugh every time I watch this.

 

She just stick to what she is good at and use Judo. I know Bones likes to beat people at what they are good at but she isn't that level of fighter.

Maybe but it sure was entertaining to me. :beer:

I realize this is mma....but I feel like this stuff just hurts the sport. There is plenty of time to biuld up bights and the MMA does a good job of this...when the fights are over its time to show some class.

 

He comes across like a jack ass

 

I remember a loooooong time ago when MMA came to Soboba close to where I live one of the champions was fighting on the card took pictures with us and put his championship belt on my son for the photo's.......could you imagine this hoodrat doing anything like that?

 

I have no love for Travis Browne....but he is totally lucky that Travis did not connect with a shot while he "was having problems with his number 2"

I think Woodley fights smarter this time around, and just takes him down. Thompson can't stop him on the ground IMO.

 

I think khabib Beats Ferguson in a great fight. I don't think Evans has much left, we'll see.

 

Overeem Hunt is also a good fight. But if Overeem is smart, he should use his length and equal striking to win.

Khabib is a beast should win this easily but Fergy has a punchers chance.

 

Hunt-Reem are bums and who know knows what happens. I could see either winning by knockout

 

I think it's cool McG is trying fight Mayweather but UFC needs to make him defend his belt.

I don't look to my combat sport guys for any sort of role modeling but you have no idea if this "hoodrat" would do something like that. These guys are a different breed. They turn it on and off (or don't in Browne's case). He could be a teddy bear outside of the ring. He certainly has a sense of humor. He made fun of a guy who beats women. I have zero issue with that.

Overeem hasn't beaten anyone without roids.

 

I hope Khabib wins and then pulls Mcgregor's head off and punts it into the crowd.

 

Agree with all of this. Overeem is overrated now that he can't juice it up.

 

I'm over McGregor. Pick a weight class and dominate it. This Mayweather thing is stupid too. Mayweather will destroy him in the ring but it will be one hell of a pay day!

Yup, no interest in seeing the Mayweather fight. If people we're disappointed with his fight against Pacquaio this would be 100 times worse.

 

I want McGregor/Khabib.

 

Woodley usually proves me wrong. I consider him pretty underrated.
