Nah, new blood is a good thing IMO

Silva suffered from the same affliction Corey Hill did, bony ass legs. Shit happens

I for one am looking forward to Weidman vs Vitor

As for GSP, much respect but he needed to go if he didn't have the motivation and if you're being honest with yourself, you could see it for awhile now. Hendricks beat him in the last fight anyways

Trust me, the UFC's future is bright

That break was tough to watch. It looked like it was going to be a good fight too.

[pillowPANTS]

Very unfortunate for Silva man. Looked like he was pretty focused and determined for this fight. Would have liked to have seen a "fight" between those two. Weidman is a tough smart dude and i think him vs belfort should be good considering the way vitor has been fighting. I will cheer for weidman in that one (mainly cuz i dont agree with TRT). How about Leben giving up in his fight….wow. He is one tough fucker and i did not see him goin out like that

[simonc]

Forward snap, has to be one of the worst breaks - end of the octagon for Silva

[bagley920]

TRT is a joke. Belfort won't fight in the US, mark those words

Urijah Hall still hasn't impressed me since the show

Poirier looked really good

Tate gave it a good shot and had Ronda rocked a couple times. Not sure if Ronda is truly a bitch or just play the "bad girl" for ratings and money

[natehate]

trt is dumb
vitor has been on a roll thou
to say  hall hasnt impressed since the show after last night is kinda silly
every win cant be a high light reel knock out
finishing leben like that is always impressive
that dude was hurt bad, for him to say its over is gnarly

and i never said new blood is a bad thing
i said they lost 2 of there biggest ppv stars
gsp and andersone silva are huge draws
if you ever go out to watch the fights you'll notice a card headlined by lets say dominic cruz the bar will not be half as full as a gsp or anderson silva fight
even a benson henderson or jose aldo dont have the draw of gsp and silva (yes i know benson isnt a champ anymore but petitis has yet to defend and he wont have a huge draw either)
finacially that was a big deal for the ufc

ronda and tate was a great scrap
they have more womens fights like that and their side of the sport will grow fast

and travis browne is a BEAST!!!

[bagley920]

I think the smaller guys just don't draw because of how society views fighting. We'd much rather see two hulking guys scrap than two guys that weigh less than out wives

[natehate]

the little guys are the best
169 looks amazing
cruz vs barao is awesome
and any time jose aldo fights its awesome

[bagley920]

I agree but to the casual fan, they like the big boys

[natehate]

i like fighting
all of it
hahaha
but i agree
heavy weights are usually the biggest draw
ie. brock

[pillowPANTS]

I cant stand "casual" fans. Only wanna show up when "GSP is fighting??? Can i come over and watch too?" I know that the UFC makes money off them as well but they are always sooooo opiniated about one fighter that they barely know. Annoying lol
Sry that was kinda ranty

Browne looked awesome once again, guy is a beast. Uriah has a ton of talent and i feel confident that the more relaxed he gets in the octagon the better he will show. Tate fought well but Rousey is an animal man. Bitch hates losing and fights like that. Not a fan of her sportswomanship tho

[bagley920]

I'm hoping to see Browne vs Werdum cause Cain is on the shelf for awhile

Apparently Ronda is headlining 170 already. Dana trying to milk her before she retires too

@summ3rhays:

That break was tough to watch. It looked like it was going to be a good fight too.

I know it.  I suffered a similar tib/fib fracture playing ice hockey as a teenager.  Took me 5 surgeries over a 5 year period to mostly recover.  I felt sick to my stomach the second it happened.

[natehate]

thats awful dude
i assume they took the rod and screws out hence so many surgeries?

[bagley920]

I've never had that injury and I felt sick to my stomach. Was pretty bad

[Clint_D]

Yep, I had two different sets rods and screws.  I managed to break the first titanium rod inside my tibia which caused another stress fracture.  They installed a second titanium rod and screws.  The original fracture healed but the stress fracture refused to heal.  I ended up with a halo on my lower leg which I wore for 5 months.  They also had to do a bone graft from my hip when I had the halo put on.  My final surgery was having a plate and 8 screws installed which I still have to this day.  Overall, it was not a fun experience at all…

[natehate]

that sucks
heres the details on silva so far

[harley dave]

i may upset a few people but two men punching and kicking the hell out of each other in a cage for sport  i just dont get cant understand why anyone would want to watch such nonsense

[summ3rhays]

To each their own, but it is pretty strategic. You can't be a master of all skills so it's an interesting mix of endurance, speed and strength.

I think they do a pretty good job of stopping fights before serious injury is inflicted.

I prefer to watch the striking as I enjoy Muay Thai (kick boxing) as a hobby, but I can respect and enjoy the tactics of the ground game of submissions.

[harley dave]

i agree each to there own every one can watch and enjoy whatever they like its just not for me im afraid
