OT: The Official UFC Chat Thread

Loved the event through and through. Prelim fights were fun to watch except for one bout. Main card overall delivered. Seen Benson fight twice now live and every time the guy gets better and better!

Rory vs Condit 2 please!

Here's a pic I took while I was there

yea, great card over all. Benson was a beast, didnt think he would dominate like that, Diaz didnt have much for him

and for sure, Rory vs Condit 2 needs to happen

pretty sick you were there, how was the view from there?

I dont think JBJ striking is all that great either, he uses his reach well and throws sick elbow like jabs, thats about it though but he gets better with each fight, so guess we'll see what happens when they actually fight

Anyone catch the Pacquiao fight??? what the.. any chance of a Mayweather fight is done now, even in fantasy.

Makes me want to GSP v Silva to happen sooner!

yea, that fight is done, I def didnt think Pacquiao would get KOed like that

doesnt look like GSP v Silva is happening any time soon either


and yes, BJ needs to retire, Im a huge fan so i bought into the hype but he didnt look like he had much left. He gased after 1-2 minutes, then he was just a punching bag

Well, they aren't, but they still appear to be way ahead of the swedes, that's for sure.

The view was good. A lot better that the panoramic pic would make you guess. The fighters were roughly the size of my middle finger lol. So for the money I spent, really good seats!

JBJ striking is actually pretty bad but he's able to calculate his distance and reach really well. He's sharp which allows for big cuts and that's really a bonus.

You know you're done when you train and get prepared an extra 2 months and become a walking Hawaiian punching bag. I was expecting bj to have broken ribs but from the online sources, he's just got shitload of bruises and stitches. He's made enough money. TIme to enjoy retirement and be a family man through and through.

Also, I want to see GSP vs Hendricks. Diaz does NOT deserve a title shot.

Gonna be DLing the FX6 UF Smashes event. Heard it had good fights all around and worth the watch.

[san~man]

Man that website is poorly setup.

[Motif]

Paul Harris is on the downward spiral, good job on Lombard on TKOing him. Ross came through with a good win too.

[Garduna]

Donno if anyone saw but Pat HD Barry laid on some thunder last night. Devastating KO.

[san~man]

Almost all the TUF finale fights were good.

HD, what else do you have to say. Like he said, he's either going down or you are, there's no in between!

Big Country: "I learned this thing called combos!" haha, gotta love the guy

Viana, he may be a contender in the future. Quick hands.

Khabliov, this dude's scary. First KO I've seen by suplex (he was pretty much out after the last one, the punches merely sealed the deal).

I wonder who they will put BCountry with now. He's one of those guys that keeps on trucking and has mad KO power.

Viana looked so smooth with his punches. In out quickness was incredible. Can't wait to see hm again.

Khabliov the Russian suplex machine. God those were beautiful. Last time we saw that stuff was from jbj I think. The russian had more lethal suplexes tho. Only other suplex that tops it would be reindlemen dropping fedor on his head back in pride!

[san~man]

Yup, Randleman vs Fedor popped into my head the minute I saw the first one by Khabliov

[escobar929]

great weekend of fights. So many sick KOs over the weekend, Lombard, Mendez, Pearson, Alloway, Donovan and that was just the FX6.

I became a big Hugo Viana during TUF brazil, he was a bit undersize in the house but you could see the potential, 135 fits him perfectly and it showed on sat

Pyle, Bedford, Khabilov Barry, Nelson, all had spectacular KOs and glad to see Poirier get a solid win, that guy doesnt know the meaning of boring

Figures the only boring fight on the entire card was the actual TUF finale, after one of the most boring seasons, guess we couldnt have expected much

[bosstones]

I think the Randleman suplex of Fedor was far more vicious and perfectly executed. Still, getting caught in three doesn't speak well into Pichel's grappling defense.

[escobar929]

im wont argue which was more vicious but Pichel was out the second he hit the floor, Fedor took it like a boss though

[Garduna]

fedor was in god mode when he got it with that suplex. guy shouldn't have been able to fight after getting dumped like that lol.

the tuf winner is even more boring to watch than fitch. Can't wait to see ricci fight again tho, the kids got potential.

[san~man]

Wow, surprised for sure.

[Motif]

Cain did shut a lot of people up, JDS no longer has that invincible halo hanging over him. I like them both, so I am not bitter about the outcome. However, I was surprised just hot easily he tooled him around, I mean just epic TDs after TDs. Also, good to see Duffee being back in UFC.

[Garduna]

I heard that JDS got a broken jaw in the first round and if that's true, god he's a warrior for being in there for another 20mins. Congrats to Cain but was it me or did he also "gas" as well? They always talk about him having the best gas tank but it didn't really look like it in the fight.

Co-MainEvent was WICKED! Love both of those guys and they delivered!

[Motif]

Yeah he looked pretty tired but hung in there. He put in work and it was a well deserved 43-50 victory. JDS just had nothing for him that night.

[WNF_335i]

cain has some serious cardio for a guy that size theres a video on fight science

Predictions Nick Diaz vs GSP??????

[escobar929]

yea, Cain is on another world when it becomes to cardio

as far as Diaz vs GSP, think the fight w/ Benson and Nate showed us whats going to happen. Unless Nick comes out w/ a great game plan and is able to throw GSP off his

[Garduna]

Benson just signed a new 8 fight deal with the ufc.
