No relation to the former Shark, I believe, but they're bumping this Ricci guy pretty big.
Pretty excited for Bellator. I think TheScore shows highlight packages in Canada, but not sure.
-
UFC needs to get Takanori Gomi in the cage with Edgar before he goes in with Penn.
-
It is an unjust world where people like these Blue Mountain State douchebags are rich and famous.
I think that's the point.
Looks like a hilarious show.
But maybe that's because I'm another college kid.
BTW, what's with the crowd booing the Lawlor/Simpson decision? One of the better comebacks I've seen.
-
if GSP wins his next fight and then decides to step aside and go into olympic wrestling would you guys prefer to see the #1 and #2 ranks fight for the belt or a tournament of some sort? say 16 man tournament tree to take place over the course of a year.
Probably 4.
Winner of Fitch/Alves fights the winner of Daley/Koscheck.
-
yea he does but hes sucha homo he doesnt know nearly enough about MMA and UFC to hold a descent well educated conversation. most of the time he doenst know wat hes talking about.
So? I know what I'm talking about. Are you really saying you're so uninformed you need somebody to tell you what's happening?
All you need is a good voice, and somebody who won't ruin the moment when it happens. Goldberg is that guy.
-
how can anyone like mike goldberg!! i cant stand him hes so unbeleivably goofy and says the stupidest stuff and doesnt know wat hes talkn about at alll.. half the time he jus nods at joe rogan, stares straigiht at him the whole time and says YUP..doesnt now how to respond at all.
Goldberg has a good voice, a good catchphrase ("AND IT IS ALL OVER") and sets the stage well. He'd do better if he weren't always interrupted by Rogan.
-
I'd qualify Bud Light and Harley as major sponsors, as well several Blockbuster movies that cross-promote.
But yeah, until Dana's gone from UFC than the stereotype about MMA will never be gone. That goes for all the promotions as well.
-
I don't mind the ufc. I don't mind the fighters in the ufc. I just don't care for the douchebag minority owner/ head of the promotion. Find his video blog from before the fights tonight and tell me that you have any respect for the guy at all.
Oh, I'll totally agree that the guy is a total douchebag, and part of the reason why my friends who are 'serious' sports fans will never get into MMA.
Being said, he does know the sport, he knows how to get the guys who will put on good fights, and his fighters, with the exception of Fedor and a couple of others, are the best in the world.
Also, I think I realized today I don't care for Joe Rogan. He's extremely unprofessional, shows up to fights in tacky clothing, unshaven, high, and prattles on about stuff not relevant to the current fight. He's a good post-fight interviewer, however. Goldberg and Buffer are terrific, but they might want to get a new colour guy. As much as I dislike Frank Mir, he does a good job with WEC broadcasts. Can't wait for the first crop of intelligent fighters to retire and start to broadcast, because I may have had enough of Joe.

KO of night - dos Santos
Submission of night - Cole Miller
Fight of the night - Stout/Lauzon
Was almost right. KO of the night given to Paul Daley and not dos Santos.
I disagree with the decision. Daley caught Hazelett with a strong left hook, but dos Santos was absolutely controlling that fight and then finally dropped Yvel.
I guess that Harbinger may have to rethink his stance about UFC heavyweights after that dominant performance. First Cro Cop, now Yvel.
Unfortunately, with 5 solid HWs in the UFC not counting Lesnar, that leaves him as the odd-man out, and he'll be without a fight for a while. Cain vs. Minotauro. Mir vs. Carwin. dos Santos vs... ???
-
did daley make weight in the end or not? so much larger then hazelett.
He was 172, but Hazelett accepted the fight. 172 is pretty inconsequential, as most fighters are about 10-15 lbs over the limit when it comes time to fight anyway, and they allow up to 1.5 lbs over the weight limit.
-
I wouldn't call it cocky. I would call it desperate.
Thiago was clearly frustrated at that point. Rashad took a page from teammate GSP's playbook and just dominated the fight early on with takedowns. Only thing Thiago could do was wait it out, but he couldn't land much against Rashad standing up except at the end.
I scored it a 28-28 draw, but am pleased with Rashad having won. It wasn't an exciting performance, but it was impressive, and it got the job done, and probably a fight he needed. The last thing a former champ needs is to lose 2 coming off his title victory. Methinks he'll pull out more boxing in his next fight, now that he's secured himself in the contender position.

Evans defeats Silva - KO Round 2
Daley defeats Hazelett - TKO Round 1
dos Santos defeats Yvel - KO Round 2
Stout defeats Lauzon - Decision
Miller defeats Ludwig - TKO Round 3
Didn't do bad on the prediction standpoint. Dos Santos unfortunately credited with the TKO, although I thought he knocked Yvel out with that left hook. Ditto Daley.
Good fights, lots of quick endings. I haven't seen a tap out due to strikes in a while, credit to Munoz.
KO of night - dos Santos
Submission of night - Cole Miller
Fight of the night - Stout/Lauzon
Lets see what UFC thinks.
-
Harb you'd like Cole Miller's submission on Dan Lauzon, you like good jiu-jitsu.
-
Did you get a chance to watch that Aoki submission from new years eve yet? It was posted a couple of nights ago.
Yep.
Ridiculous.
-
Good. UFC needs lightweights.
Speaking of lightweights, and as a side-note for tonight: I learned that a couple of friends I had from my elementary/high-school days train with Sam Stout. The dude is apparently nuts when he spars and a huge partier, if I needed any more reason to cheer for him.
-
I'm looking forward to Daley/Hazelett. It's a fight that probably won't pass the second round.
Predictions:
Evans defeats Silva - KO Round 2
Daley defeats Hazelett - TKO Round 1
dos Santos defeats Yvel - KO Round 2
Stout defeats Lauzon - Decision
Miller defeats Ludwig - TKO Round 3
also
Volkmann defeats Kampmann - Decision

I found a torrent for UFC 1. Yikes.
-
hahahahhahahahhaha
That's one of the biggest choke jobs I've seen.
-
Dana White complaining about Mazzagatti again tonight. Strikeforce got the benefit of the officials tonight. McCarthy and Rosenthal. I like Herb Dean too. Usually he's the NSAC #1 guy, so it's no surprise WEC has him tonight.
Also, Shane Carwin, my favourite heavyweight, a regular twitter follower, and probably the smartest guy in MMA is expanding his fanbase by adding a facebook page:
-
And we still have the WEC card to look forward to. A HW slugfest, a terrific submission, an amazing championship fight, Cung Le and five more fights to come.
-
I haven't seen a guy that stoked to lose his belt ever.
Umm... Henderson's fighting Fedor?
-
WOW!
What a finish to a spectacular fight.
49-46 for Melendez me thinks.
-
Thomson keeps himself so open and square that those inadvertent shots are bound to happen. Melendez has such good control. If he stays on his feet in the fifth he wins.
-
This is a hell of a fight.
Be a shame to see it end so soon. Thompson is leaving himself open.
