Gus for his hype train derailed by Rumble.

Hendo got hosed, I would think if anyone has proven to get the benefit of the doubt....it's him.

Davis/Baders 3 rounds felt longer than a 3 hour Raw.

Prelims brought the finishes, almost an hour of buffering because of all the early finishes.

Shocking news that shocked noone......Weidman out with injury and Vitor gets screwed over again.

Serra and Longo keep hurting their meal ticket.

Fuck it, strip him and put Vitor vs Machida or Jacare.

I still don't understand these title shots in the UFC. Conor getting the shot by beating a number 10 guy? Whereas you have top 5 guys fighting each other and they get nothing... its all about the talk I guess. How WWE can you be in promoting your fight. The more hype you can build around it the more likely you can get it.

But as far as Weidman goes... its like come onnnnnnnn mannnnnn. This is becoming the Mayweather Jr./Pacquio fight of the UFC. Talked up but never happening. Vitor hasn't fought in over a year. Time for an interim champ to be crowned in the division... and Weidman is going to be hoping that Vitor doesn't win. Chances are if Vitor doesn't win and the next title fight is lined up he won't get injured and ready to fight but if Vitor wins... we'll get within a month of the fight... WEIDMAN IS OUT WITH AN INJURY!

But yeah as far as Gus... they kept trying to talk him up as the guy that nearly beat Jones... the guy that gave Jones the toughest run for his money... the sure win for the fight... and 2 minutes and 15 seconds later he is down and out as Rumble just ran him over.

But I do think Hendo got screwed. And that's why that beating that Gus took went so long. Hendo got the short one second chance to get up whereas Gus got like thirty extra seconds of a beating before it was stopped.

But I am hoping that Johnson brings it to Jones though. That will be awesome. And I'm also hoping Aldo just embarrasses Conor and shows him that he doesn't belong challenging the top of the division.

Ok Nick Diaz can't talk, can't find his way to an interview and now....can't add. He added it all ad came up with Jello....I won the fight or whatever.

Anderson showed poise and still has his striking down pat, Diaz does have a chin, I can't take that away from him, but that fight was one big incision on Diaz's legs and face, he got maybe 5-6 clean shots on Silva the entire fight.

Anderson didn't really look like a world beater, but I'm happy he won the fight and he can ride off into the sunset if he wants, or he can go strictly the super fight option and face names only.

Felt for Lauzon, was a big win for the other guy whose name escapes me at the moment and Alves looked great, the Woodley fight sucked and dude needs to take some pointers from Hendo if that right hand is all he is going to rely on...add a leg kick to set that shit up.

Prelims were nice, McMann pissed me off, she had Tate and fucked up by that lazy takedown and looked gassed in the third, was her fight to win and she blew it.

 

[Deezy]

Anderson tested positive for a steroid in a pre fight blood test, took another test and came out clean :hm:

Nick Diaz tested positive for weed

Fitch tested positive for a PED :fp:

Lombard tested positive

MMA 2014 year of the injury

2015 year of the failed drug test.

 

[Dale]

It's fucking pathetic

 

[Slim]

Vitor vs. Weidman is never gonna happen. everytime it gets close Weidman is gonna be injured.

 

[Deezy]

Vitor getting screwed more than Lisa Ann when it comes to title fights.

 

[Slim]

It's like they are waiting and hoping he comes out pissing hot. Then they can be like. SEE SEE HE CHEATS!

Then the next fight Weidman is lined up for will go on without a hitch.

 

[Deezy]

They tested Vitor 3 times last year, Weidman only had to do one. :hm::hm::hm:

Weidmann just can't shut up these days either. Really making me not like him at all.

 

[Slim]

I'm hoping the fight happens and Weidman gets his face stuffed in by Vitor's fists. Then Dana can't say anything. And Weidman will be forced to shut up. I'm tired of Weidman cause of his mouth.

Yeah he's good against counter punchers like Machida and Anderson. But what about against an aggressive fighter like Vitor?

 

[Deezy]

What a jobber division Womens Bantamweight is. All that hype for Zingano and she tries rush the fucken Judo expert? Stupid....absolutely stupid strategy. You don't even try clinch Rousey, only thing you got is distance striking and precision kicks.

And Holly Holme? What was that shit? Elite level striking my ass, she still screams when she throws anything, doesn't take a genius to figure you should probably jab when you hear her do that.

Kos is done, call it a career, what's he got besides wiping his eye now?

This card was shit. Every fight was some WWF Superstars squash matches.

Oh yeah, can't believe they put Brock on camera, he isn't working for you yet. Looked desperate teasing a return when the contract isn't signed like when Strikeforce put GSP on camera at one of their shows.

 

[Slim]

Yeah I watched that Cat/Rousey fight and that was such a horrible strategy. Whoever came up with that should be fired.

Holly... they hyped her up so much that anything other than a first round knockout would be deemed a disappointment but she still didn't really deliver. Just looked kinda meh. But yeah the shouting does need to halt.

But hmmm... hopefully the next card deliver.

 

[Deezy]

Oh shocking events....another champion injured.

TJ Dillishaw out with broken ribs and the fight with Barao is off. Training camps need to really think about taking hard sparring and grappling sessions off the table atleast a few weeks before fight time.

 

[Chris]

Was really looking forward to that fight, damn
