UFC, etc.

[NASEDO]

Finally a PPV I will order. Awesome card.

 

[wanderlai]

Unless Mir loses and Reem pisses dirty again.

The classic Loser leaves Town match.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah its about time we get a good stacked card like this. Im really looking forward to this event. Lately they've all been pretty lack luster.

i dont get why Lawler get dibs on fighting Rory. I was hoping Condit vs Rory pt 2.

Because Rory's last fight was a play it safe snoozefest. Dana figures Lawler will press the action. Works for me.

 

[Devil_666]

Yep.. make people snooze and even if you get the win, you lose. Keep saying it, the UFC and Dana are more impressed by performance than wins/losses.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah Ive always been a Lawler fan from back in the day. Hes that guy that he can lose but the guy comes out and fights and like Devil just said. I'll take a guy who fights and puts on a show over the guys who play it safe.

I understand playing it safe when a title shot is on the line or something but yeah don't blame Dana for pushing those guys to the side.

 

[TOE]

But Condit can do the same like Lawler. If Dana really want a good fight, then maybe he should have put Lawler vs Condit then.

 

[316what]

But Condit can do the same like Lawler. If Dana really want a good fight, then maybe he should have put Lawler vs Condit then.

Compared to Lawler, Condit is a counter-puncher. I'm sure Dana put Lawler in with Rory because he knows Lawler will start off fast slinging leather and keep Rory from playing it safe again.

 

[azurepred]

Lawler has been looking good, I could see an upset there. He has improved dramatically from his first stint in the UFC. Rory should just move up to MW, we all know he can't beat GSP anyways.

 

[Devil_666]

UFC 168 is starting to take shape..

WW TITLE: Weidman vs. Silva II
BW TITLE: Rousey vs. Tate II
Barnett vs. Browne

 

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah that's going to be some great fights. I love Browne, but I don't
think he'll beat Barnett. I would like him to though

Id like to see Miesha beat Ronda also just for the pure hell of the it.

 

[Devil_666]

Yeah I think Barnett will take down Browne and sub him. And I think Rousey will rip off Tate's arm again although like you said, it would be funny to see Tate win. Just to see the look on Rousey's face.

Also Matt Brown is gonna fight Condit at UFC on Fox 9. That should be insane.

 

[azurepred]

I could see Rousey's arrogance biting her in the butt, but judging from the one fight I saw from Tate, her grappling game is sub par, Rousey by Sub again unless she's not focused. I'm not convinced that Brown is a top fighter, I think Condit controls the whole fight and wins easily. Idiot actually said his last opponent was better than GSP.

I had no idea Barao was fighting this weekend, WTH ever happened to Cruz, he retire? I expect a sub or TKO from GnP for Jones, no way he even risks the stand up game of Gust.

 

[915stag51]

I think Cruz had his title stripped

I think Cruz is set to return in January to unify the belt.

 

[Devil_666]

And if he doesn't make that return THEN he'll be stripped according to Dana White.

It’s getting to the point now where it’s just like, if he can’t fight at the beginning of the year, we’ve got to pull the trigger. It’s been two years. A lot of people think we’re crazy for holding up the title this long, but it’s a tough thing to do to take a title away from somebody. It’s hard to do.

 

[bumblebee]

Good grief JBJ is such a huge favorite I might just have to lay a few down on the mauler....hmm

He's doing good so far.
