Topic: UFC etc

Can't get used to UFC using NFL music on FOX.

[SEMTEX]

It's on all FOX Sports man, confused me when I first saw it on some random bs American nonsense.

Dana White's opinions on SOPA etc, they need fixing. He's a f***ing idiot who has basically challenged the hackers to bring it on. What a tool.

In fact... UFC on FOX is s****, doesn't feel as much of a 'spectacle'.

DA INTANET IS STEALING HIS PPVS!

What did people make of 143 then?  I found the main event really tedious!  I had it 3-2 to Conduit but I can see why Diaz would be aggrieved given the fact he pushed Conduit back for almost the entire fight!

Great submission for Poirier as well, switched between 2-3 before locking it in, impressive.  I think it's also safe to say that Roy Nelson is a machine, the slow mo for that first knee was insane, cringeworthy!

Pretty much the same, I had Conduit winning as he did land the better strikes. Just shows how one dimensional the Diaz brothers are,
If you stand & trade with them then your in trouble!!

I thought Werdum (spelling) looked very good. Big country is insane!! I'd love to see him drop to 205 & give it a co at L/heavyweight..

Looking at the respective faces of Condit and Diaz you can see Condit had more success with the strikes. Diaz got out thought really. Diaz just thinks he can always provoke someone to trade with him. I guess you've always got to have a plan B! I like Diaz and hope (and think) that he'll stick around. He's a good fighter to watch.

Not sure what to make of Werdum. He bullyed Nelson and had no trouble really but if you think back to that Werdum - Overeem fight, Werdum just sat on the floor. Ref should have declared that one a no contest. So i'm not sure how much heart Werdum really has against a similar sized opponent. Guess we'll find out.

You cant really compare Roy's stand up to the K1 world GP champ

[High Five o/]

Okay event i guess.
Happy to see Werdum back, his striking gets better and better.
I like him as a fighter, except the Overeem fight, that was a scandal!

Diaz v Condit. Another reason why i am not a big fan of Greg Jacksons camp/fighters.
He is a master in making champs, and get them to stick to their game plan.
But its just to calculated and cynical for my liking. He is the Jose Mourinho of MMA.

Condit did perfect, and shows he is a smart fighter, but it was just not fun, like Condit used to be. But he did what he needed to beat Diaz, and that was the ultimate goal.

Did you see that fight though? He just sat on his arse so as not to be hit! Distinct lack of aristotle tbh.

[Slim]

Was s*** but he nearly gassed the reem and prob go the best shots on him anyone in MMA has in the last few years

Aye, was poor viewing. Was surprising when Overeem ran out of puff!

Reckon JDS would give him a good fight. Would love to see it!

[Messi]

Diaz failed his drug test

There's a rematch out the window.

Anyone watch "UFC on Fuel" weds night?  Ellenberger looked pretty impressive against Sanchez but was very lucky to survive the latter half of the third round.

Looking forward to UFC 144 now, hoping for Rampage and Edgar wins.

Also, did anyone else see that Bisping has left Wolfslair now?  Nice to see the UFC game was kept up to date with this haha.

Yeah, watched it.
Agree with you on the Sanchez v Ellenberger fight. Gathered pace at the end

Dave Herman: Spoiler

 

[Chrisjraby]

Haha yeah Herman looked absolutely ridiculous, imagine how creepy it would've been to have to wrestle with him if you were the opponent 

[SEMTEX]

So,

questions

1) Benson? What's that about?
2) Is Struve 4reel yet? I reckon he has potential to beat some decent players, but also lose to some shithawks
3) Brookins

My take on it, not that its worth much

1) Ben Henderson have looked very very good since WEC merged with UFC. Still think and hope Edgar wins. I absolutely loves Edgar

2) Struve is young. He is just not smart enough yet. Probably the worst fighter to take advantage of the superior reach! But he is a reasonable guy. He says in interviews that he is young, and his time will come. Much to learn etc. His striking is getting better, and he have good submissions. He can have a great future if he keeps on like now.

[SEMTEX]

You didn't really interpret my Q1 as I had intended. My issue was "Benson". Why is he all of a sudden Benson, rather than the unassuming Ben. Benson ffs.

Alright then, Ben Henderson.

Henderson = Everyone thinks about Dan.
Ben = Everyone thinks about Stiller.

So... I imagine that no-one else is staying up for this? Given it starts at 3am? UK time.

[PENKAAA]

Rampage Jackson is funny as hell.

[SEMTEX]

Fantastic armbar submission by Engerlands Vaughan Lee on Kid Yamamoto.

[SEMTEX]

Showtime just murdered Joe Lauzon

[Slim]

Ohhhh yes!
