Yeah, Weidman vs. Machida is the fight I care about the most. Lyoto is back contending in the the weight class he should be in but avoided for years because of Silva and won't lose due to clowning around so we will get to see just how good Weidman really is from this fight.

[lewfather]

Just guessing by how the 2 silva fights went down I'm assuming the odds on machida aren't that great so the value is probably on weidman or no bet at all? cmoney? someone?

[Hockey Guy]

I absolutely hate how they list their record then list their UFC record. Tilts the fuck out of me.

I stopped looking up fighters on Sportsnet here in Canada because they only showed their UFC record like the rest doesn't matter.

As for the card itself, I'll be watching on the big screen at camp since they buy all the PPV's for those staying there. Like everyone else very interested to see if Weidman can solve the Machida riddle. I just hope Machida comes to fight & it's not a repeat of his Rampage, Davis & Henderson fights where I believe he won but spent so much time being elusive that he didn't really do anything substantial other than round 3 against Rampage.

If Weidman can defend I think we could all agree that he's for real. Should be a good card.

Faber on a prelim card breaks my heart. Can we get a crippling injury on Mitrione 1x? Kid so horribad. TIA

FOX wanted a name on the prelims, so they got one. Faber squashes everyone when its not for a title, and this one ain't for a title, so...

As for Chris-Lyoto, I could be wrong, but I think Lyoto is faster than Chris, in every way. If this is correct, then it's already over and Machida has already won. If not, Weidman wins.

BTW, 4-6 on NBC, WSOF 11, with the main event being a 3 handed mach for the belt, Newell v Gaetche.

[sonatine]

^.

All prelim cards will now have a 'main event' fight. Its not a demotion.


I believe Machida is +180, which seems weirdly reasonable.

[sonatine]

ok so i just realized, normal def = $45, HD = $60.

seriously reconsidering.

Maybe also consider UFC.TV at $55 for HD. You get the multi cameras and multi audio, which might be worth it just for Serra and Longo. The UFC.tv streams were always perfect for me any time I used them.


edit: just saw on twitter that Melvin Guillard won on NBC, and celebrated thusly. Sometimes, these things happen in MMA...

[BeerAndPoker]

I'm watching WSOF right now. Come on Nick Newell, the kid is an inspiration!

Would not be surprised if Ray Sefo cut him for that shit. The NBC contract is huge for his org and I'm sure he doesn't want to ruffle any corporate feathers.

He was defeated in the first round, but unfortunately the fight went 2. Uggg Lee fight. Newell got stomped, and wanted out badly.
