UFC 161: Evans vs. Henderson

[Dale]

WAR Roy and HD.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira injured and out of his fight with Shogun.

 

[The Cork]

Wow, this is gonna end up as bad as UFC 149.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Everybody's favorite Chael P. Sonnen has reportedly agreed to step in and fight Shogun.

 

[Dale]

What a company guy.

 

[No More Sorrow]

So the fight was going to happen, but there was an issue with getting Chael into Canada, now the fight is slated for the Fox Sports 1 show in Boston.

 

[Slim]

Well this card just got butchered

Anybody actually going to be watching this weekend? I'll have it on my DVR but think I'll pass on watching it live. I really don't care about any of the fights on this card to be honest.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Probably not, I was never that interested in this retirement home card.

I'm catching it at B-Dubs cause my friend wants to catch it.

 

[Dale]

I'll download it day after I think, mostly interested in Roy and Pat though.

Although I still have Velasquez/Big Foot to watch too :sheamus2:

 

[Troy]

Not sure if I will be watching it, will see what I am doing on the day and if I have nothing better to do I will check it out.

Ended up watching it. The Main Event wasn't too bad, nothing special. Rashad looked hungrier than he has for a while but Hendo was just typical Hendo, eyes closed, throwing nothing but H-Bombs. Rashads speed kept him safe though.

Stipe Miocic was the star of the show, he tooled Roy Nelson on par with the beatings that Werdum and JDS gave him. Way too fast and technical for fatty. A triumph of skill > power.

 

[The Cork]

Didn't care to watch, heard Woodley got jobbed tho which figures. Shields has been a massive dissapointment in the UFC.

Was rooting for Hendo to win as him vs Jones is still intriguing to me and I'd like Shad to move to middleweight.

Watched most of the show. Fell asleep during a good few parts of it. Everyone else at my table fell asleep as some point. People walked out before the show was over. Overall... this was a boring show.

Stipe can run with the best of them for sure. Couldn't finish Big Country despite how many times he nailed him... just couldn't put him away. But could run away very quickly.

The main event was the only exciting part of the show. Shad finally brought it. He used his speed and did it well. Hendo... well he did pretty good but just not good enough. Hendo... I dunno. Shad won't be getting a shot anytime soon so he might as well look to drop down. That speed would prove to be something for Silva.
