UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao

[No More Sorrow]

Honestly lost track of the date for this show, didn't think it was only two weeks away.

I'll be glad to see Lombard debut, and Faber-Barao will be good it just shouldn't be the main event of this show.

So UFC on Fuel this Wednesday, Strike force next weekend then this show the weekend after.

 

[AF.]

Don't follow MMA so I can't really comment on the card... But, if the fights are good, and most likely with a card full of youngsters who will likely go to all distances to secure a win they will be, it shouldn't matter how the card looks on paper.

That being said, being one of the most casual fans going around, the only name I recognize on this card is Faber.

 

[Chase]

Faber is one of my favs, but not against Barao. I mean Barao has been waiting for a title shot for such a long time. If Faber loses not surprise.

Also Lombard is an interest too me because haven't seen much of his fights, but a win against Bosetch gets him a title shot. Sounds like anytime Faber or Dan Hendo winning a fight... automatic title match.

Show is coming up this weekend, I have to work in the morning and I'll be tired as hell by the time this comes on but I'll probably still watch it.

My picks are; Barao, Lombard, Jordan, Ebersole, Riddle. I'm about to put up the prediction thread for this show as well so get over and do it!

She's mint.

Hector Lombard threatened to kill Ariel Helwani in a pre fight interview, trying to find video but nobody has uploaded yet.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I heard about that, i really want to see the video. Poor Ariel :

 

[Slim]

So ummmm... did anybody watch this show? cause I did... well up til round 4 of the Faber fight then we left.

Yeah we were just flat bored. The prelims were the most exciting part of the thing.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah i heard the PPV was terrible, i haven't watched it yet but I'm going to download it when i get home from work. So pissed Lombard lost though.

 

[Slim]

Lombard didn't do much of anything. I was expecting him to go balls out and show that he is a top notch middleweight and get in contention for a shot at Silva. But instead Tim just beat another top middleweight. First Okami and now hands Lombard his first loss since 07. Tim is on his way up. But Lombard really disappointed me. Reminded me of when Shogun made his highly anticipated debut into UFC against Forrest, a guy he was expected to win against and wound up losing. Lombard better bounce back and bring some heat and adrenaline in his next fight cause this was a completely dud.

 

[The Cork]

I agree w/ Slim, such a shit event on so many levels.....I would of been pissed if I had to pay for it like you guys over the pond.

I enjoyed Barao kicking Faber's ass, but Lombard/Boetsch was horrrrrrrible.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Just finished watching this show...So glad i didn't waste time watching last night. Probably one of the top 5 worst shows. Moving onto UFC on FOX 4 August 4th, hopefully that show delivers.

Watching the post fight presser now, Dana White is pretty pissed off. Don't blame him at all.

The Prelims are the only thing worth watching from this show. The main event i thought was atleast watchable, the rest of the main card was absolutely terrible.

 

[Deezy]

All I know that HW fight was two people hugging for 3 rounds, what the fuck was the ref thinking? Yves Lavigne is a terrible ref, shouldn't have even have a license after he let poor Pete Sell take an unnecessary beating.

Glad I didn't buy this, I would've been pissed. That show was embarrasing.
