Hunt gassed rd 2, lol
They need to open the door for the super heavyweight otherwise known as the fat ass division for guys like Mark Hunt.
I had a nice steak and french onion soup earlier but I'm not even close to as gassed as Hunt is right now but he has shown some heart not just rolling over.
Considering the other stoppages tonight, this never should have gotten out of the 2nd.Quote:

So many times, SO MANY TIMES, the fight should have been called. If you are inclined to blame the corner for not stopping the fight, I would be inclined to agree in this case.
Also, the scorecards are as disappointing as ever. I was wondering if anyone would have the balls to give a 10-7 round, but one guy couldn't seem to bring himself to give even a single 10-8.
This might cause a future rift methinks:

Last December, Ultimate Fighting Championship announced that it had signed a six-year, $70 millon deal that would allow Reebok to be the exclusive outfitter of the UFC. Starting in July, all UFC fighters will wear Reebok uniforms and training apparel, and no other sponsors will be allowed to advertise with the fighters. We didn’t know how well Reebok would compensate the athletes in lieu of outside branding. Now we know. It doesn’t look good.
The UFC pays most of its fighters peanuts, but until the Reebok deal, they were at least able to bolster their incomes by selling real estate on their trunks, tops, and hats. That’s over now. Brendan Schaub is a decent heavyweight who has fought 10 times in the UFC. He’ll never be champion, but still hauled in six figures in each of his last six fights from sponsorships. The next time he fights, he’ll make $10,000 from the Reebok deal.
Mike Roberts, who represents fighters including Anthony Pettis and Paige VanZant, told MMA Fighting that “85 to 90 percent” of his fighters are losing money.
“This Reebok deal is not going away,” Roberts said. “It’s just not gonna go away. It’s gotta be fixed. It’s gotta be tweaked, because everybody is not worth the same.”
LOL at " Brendan Schaub is a decent heavyweight"
Crowe,
I had the impression, based on his previous fights, that he can take a beating, so they would be prone to letting him stay in there longer, unless he REALLY looks like he is getting pummeled. That may be why they didnt end it earlier. Some guys are just good punching bags and can take it.

Interesting take on the Reebok deal from Chael Sonnen.
Did you see the fight? Seems to me maybe you haven't seen the fight.Quote:

So, during the weigh ins, Weidman said that he just found out that Vitor had a testosterone score of 1200, and the two of them went at each other verbally during the pose down.
Should be a fun night for sure. Lots of great match ups.
LOL Joe Rogan after the Weidman interview:Quote:

Wow! I predict if Weidman loses all hell will break loose.Quote:

They gotta tighten up the testing limits and find a way to fail fighters with suspicious test results. I'll be pissed if Vitor wins.
Edit: Went to Sherdog, Many claim Weidmans test results were stranger than Vitors.
May be a fair fight, they either all need to be able to juice a little or all be clean. As long as it isn't clean vs juiced, that'd be pretty dangerous and produces one sided fights.
We'll see
Looks like people are finding ways around testing or new drugs.
it's ridiculous but I really want Cormier to do the dance if he knocks out Johnson

Yup. The possibility of blood tests will likely be restricted to title fights for the near future. Take it with a grain of salt, but Dana White said on the JRE podcast that it was somewhere around $40K per fighter to do full Olympic level blood testing.Quote:

For those who missed it because nobody is man enough to make a thread, I mean I slept through it, but still.

Henderson is one of my Top 5 favorite fighters all time and he keeps pushing his body to continue. It's bitter sweet to me because when a guy like that can't retire and goes out on a bad note it sucks but that fight just proved how strong that mofo still is, however, get him up against someone with speed, discipline, and length then he is likely fucked.
I just hope the guy retires soon on top because he's a fucking legend to me and I don't like to see people overstay their welcome because just just don't know when it's time to retire.

They went ahead and named Chad Mendes as the backup plan if Aldo can't fight.

so whoever went public about his rib literally took 3.5 million dollars out of his fucking pocket.
chael also predicted that the rib, previously reported as straight up broken, would be portrayed as less severely damaged so aldo can show up and do his thing.
greasy shit.
brb stocking up on conor "fuck a nigga up with body blows" mcgregor.
could the whatever comission take away his licence to fight over a busted rib?Quote:

NSAC is doing an independent investigation of his rib, and they will pass/fail him for clearance as they see fit.
And btw the fight is off the books already at Bovada. Which is ominous.
LOL if he looses millions because someone couldnt keep their trap shutQuote:
