Machida looked great last night and though he lost Vera had a very good showing for himself.

I thought the Lauzon/Varner fight was the most exciting one. Lauzon is a beast on the ground. Even though the last 2 fights ended with some nice KO's, can't say I expected Bader or Vera to pull off huge upsets. Great night of fights though, better then the last few cards for sure.

"He's rushing in to a woodchipper."

ha ha ha, i do remember that line. Yeah its funny when Mike said that I was like wow...so random.

 

[Rock83]

Good to see Swick back and get an impressive victory after everything he went through.Im very happy for him.

Bader did the worst thing anyone can do against Machida,come at him swinging and leave him wide open for Machida to get a good shot in.Learn from Shogun,who came at Machida like a Hurricane with straight punches which makes it impossible for Machida to counter.

Mike's funniest comment of the night: "In his last fight he choked out his opponent with a Kimura."

Joe quickly punked him out on that comment.

Agreed. He did a lot better than I thought he would TBH.

UFC 152: Rory MacDonald suffered a cut in training. The Penn fight is off. Sucks.

from a cut!? what a ____

Yeah, he needed 48 stitches to close a cut on his brow.

Machida comes in light, then gets title shot.

what do you mean? I seriously have no interest in Bones fighting Machida again, not saying he doesn't have a chance, just don't want to see it. After he beats Hendo, I wanna see him fight a HW, give the guy a challenge for Christ sake.

Machida looked great last night and though he lost Vera had a very good showing for himself.

And then Vera opened his mouth at the press conference. What a chump. Loses a fight (which I'll admit, he looked decent) and then acts like he won something. Let's get it out there, Shogun hasn't been in the right condition for how many fights now? If the guy just worked on his self (I think this is what Dana White somewhat meant subliminally), he would have zero problems beating everybody, Jones included! Yeah I said it.

Well, Machida only weighed 201 for the fight, Dana said in the presser afterwards when they were watching the weigh ins and saw how light he was Silva gave him a look and then Machida told him they needed to talk. Dana then said something like, I offered him the next shot, guess we're not having that talk.

not sure about beating jones, but definitely working him much harder than last time. Shogun needs to work on his cardio really bad.

Yeah go look at the cut nash.. it's more of a goat ______ gash than a "cut".

 

[azurepred]

how did he get the gash? Not a smart idea if these guys are full on sparring without head gear.

These things happen. Its unfortunately (probably) the easiest place on your body to cut. One downward punch, and bam, it's over.
It's kinda funny because back in the day when I read the wrestler "Mankind's" book, he talked about that was the easiest way to get cut and get a crowd going. It has something to do with the bone structure of your skull bending out and the sjin wrapping over, which creates a weak spot that easily tears. I don't think McDonald did this though. BJ Penn can't beat this guy, I'm convinced.

 

[316what]

Up for tonite's PPV. Prelims are on FX right now.

 

[316what]

Damn, what an exciting 1 minute fight...WOW.

 

[Devil_666]

I know.

Cowboy vs. Melvin = WHOA!

If it had gone any longer it had potential Fight of the Night written all over it.

Poor Melvin....Cowboy said he was gonna "little brother" him and he did once he recovered, lol.

Even though it was around 1 minute...it made up for the Shields snoozefest.
