OT: The Official UFC Chat Thread

Gustafsson fought a great fight, good movement for a LHW

Siyar Bahadurzada looked impressive, and Stann is a total gentleman for stopping himself when Sakara went out

[san~man]

I gained a lot of respect for him, moreso as a person, when they featured him and storied his combat in Iraq (or Afganistan, can't remember).

[Garduna]

Yeah, Gus had the proper gameplan and it worked out for him. I'm a huge Silva fan so I hope he comes back strong in his next fight.

Damn Siyar did that with a potential broken hand, badass

Big respect for Stann when he stopped himself and went to see if Sakara was ok. On that note, A big FUCK YOU to james head. I hope he loses his next few bouts. The way he treated Papy after the fight left a bad taste in my mouth. No class at all.

Someone should give him a heel hook with some torque on it.

UFC 145. Some nice bouts. Want to see how Stephen Thompson has improved since his last match. Rory vs Che will be fireworks and the big ME. Jones vs Evans

[Motif]

Sonnen and silva are moved to LV. I don't know if Brazil will ever stop crying over that.

Fedor will be fighting Rizzo in few months. My man needs to dump M-1 and go independent, he is much better off.

[SoTempted]

Is anybody else excited about John Makdessi vs Anthony Njokuani?! 2 of the best standup guys in the UFC (sadly, JUST standup). Could be an exciting fight!

And I gotta represent for my fellow Hawaiian Travis Browne. His fight should be good and if he wins I'd like to see the UFC start throwing some actual names at him.

[Motif]

Interesting turn of events today. Reem got pushed out of the fight without the hearing, Mir is up to bat. Prediction---he will get his head knocked off in RD1, look for it somewhere in Row 3 or 4.

FrontRowBrian is tweeting about something he has heard that ASilva is on a verge of getting fired from UFC over the upcoming Sonnen fight. Details are unconfirmed and unclear but Sherdog is jumping

PLEASE tell me you're talking about Assuerio or hell, even Bigfoot Antonio Silva.

...headed over to the shit that is known as sherdog right now!

[Motif]

No i am talking about Anderson.

Here is the thread

FRB has been spot on for the most part with his tweets before even shitboxes (sherdoggers) trust him.

Well yeah I figured you meant Andersen I was just joking... Man that's crazy. I think he deserves to have that fight in Brazil, I don't know if Dana should be playing that kinda game with the, hands down, best fighter in the world.

[Garduna]

I wouldn't be surprised. AS probably wants more money if he's gonna fighting Sonnen again. He was promised that he fight would be in his home turf and now it gets moved. Can't blame the guy for it. Let's see how this plays out.

I bet if Overeem gets the ok from the atheletic's commission, that's of course if he can prove why he pissed such a high ratio then he would fight cain instead. If he fails, I'd feel bad for cain since he wouldn't have anyone to fight with.

[Motif]

Cain would get murdered in there. Super bad matchup for him.

[BMW86]

Super pumped for this fight today.. I'm keen to see a few other fights on the undercard like up and coming Thompson and also expect to see good things from Rory.

So who's everyone got? Rashad or Jones? I have a feeling Rashad will look better than others but he'll still get destroyed by Jones.

[san~man]

I will be so pissed if rashad wins, I simply dislike him with a passion

[Garduna]

Personally, I'd like to see Evans win this one. Jones getting humbled, man, can you think of how he'd improve with a legit lose to Evans? Sky's the limit.

As for the rest of the stuff, I've got my eye on Rory McD and Stephen Thompson. Other bouts I'd like to see win are Mark Hominick and Torres.

[Motif]

^+1...WAR SUGA!!!!

[Motif]

Its official. Fat Country is fighting cain.

Escudero GTFO of UFC and don't come back this time! Thank you, not your fucking fan.

Much thanks to big Ben for knocking that tool out. Thats what he gets for gloating after Mirko's fight.

[san~man]

<----Happy!

that dude is a huge Sonnen nut hugger, dont believe anything he says about Anderson, plus Dana White had already said it was all BS and Brian is a liar

Cain is fighting Big Foot, not Nelson

[escobar929]

good event on sat, Jones looked pretty good, those elbow are nasty, his kicks have also improved, scary what this kid is going to be in another year or two. But I think he needs to go to HW pretty soon, he was so much bigger than Rashad. I would love to see him really test himself

so many good fights that night, must have been hard to pick FON. Thompson need to work on his ground game and this kid could be scary, Matt Brown said he was completely out at least twice during the fight, dude has some heart to be able to push through and come out w/ the win. McDonald and MacDonald both looked super impressive, Rory seemed to struggle a lil bit on the feet w/ Che but once he took him down it was over. Felt bad for Miguel, Michael just ran through him, had a feeling this was how it was going to go though. Eddie Yagin vs Mark Hominick was also good, but I thought Mark won the fight. The two HW also looked great, Njokuani vs Makdessi wasnt as good as I thought it would be but still a good fight

I cannot express how sorry I am to the Commission, Junior Dos Santos, the fans, the owners and employees of the UFC, my friends and family and anyone else who this has affected.

I absolutely do not believe in, nor do I use performance-enhancing drugs. I am a clean fighter and I will do whatever it takes to prove this to everyone.

Prior to the UFC 146 press conference in March, I aggravated an old rib injury on my left side. My doctor prescribed, and I accepted, an anti-inflammatory medication that was mixed with testosterone. I was completely unaware that testosterone was one of the ingredients in the medication. Although I was unaware, I do realize it is my job to know what I am putting into my body.

I respect the Nevada Commissioners and Executive Director Keith Kizer and what they are doing to keep the sport of mixed martial arts regulated and safe for athletes. I look forward to working with them in the days and weeks ahead.

Friends and fans, I ask for your patience as I work through this matter. Please support me. I promise to return to the Octagon soon.
