Well. And Nam Phan thought he was robbed. Such was the depth of the theft, Fukuda still thinks the judges are playing around.

Huge, huge result in Ebersole/Lytle.

Re: MMA / Ultimate Fighting

I went and had a good time, except for George losing. And Bisping winning. And Fitch laying on BJ the whole fight.

The main card was a bit of a snooze fest, with the Ebersole/Lytle fight the highlight. A guy in my section was ripping into Ebersole because of his unorthadox style so it was nice to see him shut up when Ebersole's hand was raised.

If Dana wants the sport to continue to grow strongly here, he needs to give us better fights. Fitch in a main event is horrible, and Jorge Rivera as a co-main just highlights how un-stacked this card was. To rub it in, the next event will feature Shogun vs Jones which could well be fight of the year.

The under card was fun with Mark Hunt's walk away KO the highlight. Seeing Arianny in the flesh was also nice.

A note on the crowd; what the hell is with everyone wanting a fight stood up and booing if the ref lets the fighters grapple? If you want to watch stand up fighting, stick to boxing you uneducated bogans

Jones, just too good.

Jones, just too good.

Way too big and strong. Hard to think of anyone who can physically match Jones at LHW.

Dana has his next superstar.

Re: MMA / Ultimate Fighting

Just watched the fight again.

Damn, Shogun ate some huge shots before finally succumbing. A true warrior.

The scary thing is, Jones hasn't even scratched the surface of his true potential. The guy has only been training MMA for 3 years and is throwing Muay Thai elbows like a Lumpinee Stadium champion.

Forget a GSP/Silva superfight - we'd see a similar result as Jones/Rua with the bigger fighter dominating. I want Jones vs Silva for the LHW belt.

Re: MMA / Ultimate Fighting

Outstanding is all I can say on Jones' performance. Rua is a legit world class fighter and Jones made him look second rate.

What about "Daniel-San" Machida kicking poor old Randy Couture's teeth into retirement.
Sad end for the legend.

Steven Seagal's front kicks taking over MMA

Re: MMA / Ultimate Fighting

It's a flashy kick but he didn't really get hold of him. It seemed to get him on the end of his foot rather than the hard bony upper section, more a take down than a knock out blow and for that it's not the best I've seen. Have alook at some of Alexio's old footage.

Nice takedown though to give Pettis the ascendency.

Anyone watching this season of TUF? Thoughts?

Goddam TiVo failed me this week, only saw the first half hour.
Don't even know who won the wildcard match.

First time I'd seen the show this season on GO! channel, but now that One HD is also showing the heavyweight series from last year, that one is vastly superior in terms of entertainment.

Watching Rashad and Rampage go at each other is fantastic.
Brock and Junior are just too plain nice to each other.

Anyone else as excited as me for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tourney?

You should really get that looked at.

Bump

I haven't been so happy to see Hunt win today than I have since the last time we won a game that actually mattered.
