the fucking crazy part is that in 4 years, hes going to come right back, run train on the division, and then fail a fucking test again.

How is Michael Bisping a dog against St Pierre?
I get Bisping in the rudy of the sport but still..

GSP was the king of grinding out 5 rounds to a decision victory and his last 7 fights he did that but on four years absence?

Referee god Josh Rosenthal is BACK. Reffed first main card Bellator fight. Fuck yes.
bink
Semtex-Larkin now on.....i got under
Took Werdum -250.
Tons of juice but to me it should be -500 or more.
I forgot to even look but -250 is a gift.Quote:

i hit enter, tab over, and johnson has the dudes back with 90 seconds left. and 60 seconds later borg is flopping around again on his back.
just fucking yawn.
Fair enough that he don't close quickly (if at all) but you have to respect that anyone who steps in front of DJ gets completely lost and uncomfortable 10 seconds into every fight.Quote:

That was an amazing highlight reel finish.
But I'm with tine here. He should have finished him in round 2 or 3 EASILY.
he literally made us sit through 23 minutes of sparring so he could set up a suplex to armbar.
the fuck ever.
how the fuck is SAC letting him fight with an open fucking staph blister on his chest
WTF is with this walk out song for Ferguson?
excuse me how is there no point deducted for that, lee went absolutely ham after the bell.
kevin lee just set up his own triangle because he gassed.
just call it what it was rogan. ffs.
"Kevin Lee is openly weeping in the octagon."
Actually, I think that's just mrsa-juice escaping his body.
It feels as if the UFC has just given up. Hilarious that they thought Might Mouse could carry his own PPV card; he cant even carry the under card. No one gives a shit about two midgets fighting. Pound for Pound best is retarded since the amount of males walking around at 125 on this planet is vastly smaller than in the other divisions. The division is a fucking snooze fest and they need to get rid of it and he needs to move up. \
And the UFC needs to completely get rid of females on PPV fights unless it is a interesting title fight.
also not for nothing but im suspecting ferg's best days are behind him.
he clearly has nothing to offer conor by way of resistance and honestly his tempo/pressure was pure shit tonight, hence someone dying of staph taking him down like 2x a round.
i was a huuuuuuge mark for ferguson and swore he would get the belt someday to anyone who would listen but really, tonights performance was not indicative of why.
If the UFC felt like DJ could carry a card, his fight wouldn't have been 2nd last on the card, fighting for the only real belt on the card.Quote:

They've winnowed fighter pay down as far as they can and the lockerroom bonuses of days past are nowhere to be found anymore, but now everyone knows the company is worth over $5b, going by the last few shares the Fertittas sold. Ain't obody willing to do them favors anymore. etc etc
Hell, even the chick fight tonight was 2 replacement fighters. Was supposed to be Paige v Jessica Eye, a much more fun watch than what we ended up with.

the reebok deal killed the financial incentive for people to become apex fighters and the usada testing destroyed the people who were already apex fighters.
Interesting take that the new owners should just unceremoniously get rid of USADA and go back to the pidly ass NSAC testing

Deal, no take backs.
why is cerrone obviously being framed for a retirement fight?
what am i missing here?
hes fighting a nobody with absolutely no special or interesting skills or history.
his line is literally like -155.
and in the promo shot they have him airbrushed to look like a railroad drifter while his opponent is basically looking like a the 'after' part of a join-the-marines before and after commercial.
cerrone has not lost to anyone out of the top 3 in a division since 2009, with the exception being nate diaz and i think at this point we have to accept that diaz is capable of slaying lions on the right night.
lawler solved cerrone but lawler had to tools to do so.
so wtf
hail mary attempt to create a new british star? maybe just a company that doesn't give a fuck about their fight pass shows? if it ain't a big show, they're big on throwing in the towel early now.Quote:

i mean the line was -155 for cerrone and its moved to -150 and im seriously like wtf you cant do that on the internet
also Kowalkiewicz's line moved from -550 to -640 in the last 45 minutes or so
guy looks big for the weight class, has lightning fast straight punches, dispatched with cowboy inside a round.
fuckin A, maybe this dude is the real.
i knew cowboy would start slow but goddamned..
If his takedown defense is solid we've got a future contender and a big personality with Till. I think I'm a fan. He throws that left from all kinds of subtle angles and never stops feinting, he's a nightmare for most of that division on the feet.Quote:
