@bagley920:

Alright fellas, who you got tonight? Cain or Junior?

Either Junior takes it standing up or Cain takes him down and wins the ground-battle

[kit99bar]

I think JDS is going to be able to keep it mostly standing and will beat Cain via decision or late rounds KO.

[bagley920]

Well, 1:04 isn't much to judge from but I thought Junior would win if it was a standup fight.

[kit99bar]

Unfortunately, Cain didn't get grapple with him.  Dana was bitching about it after the fight instead of complimenting JDS lol

[bagley920]

Dana wants to keep the Hispanic community interested, plain and simple. He's in it for the money.

[kit99bar]

true true! 
He also wanted a 5 round back and forth battle for the ages instead of a fight shorter than a tampon commercial. hha

[bagley920]

In that situation, I agree, being the only fight televised. Kind of a let down for a one hour event and only 1:04 of actual fighting. I was hoping they would televise the Guide/Henderson fight. That was an awesome fight.

[kit99bar]

Agreed again, UFC really screwed up with not televising that fight

[bagley920]

Either way, I think the UFC is looking up. Given the last 2 boxing promos were a sucker punch by Mayweather and a robbery by the judges for Pacman, now is the time to capitalize!

[bagley920]

Overeem failed a drug test, shocker!

[bagley920]

Anyone else super excited about Anderson vs Chael tonight?

[Guest]

I don't typically get hyped for your average UFC card, but this has the making to be a truly spectacular fight. I'm hoping I can round up some people to catch it at a local watering hole.

[bagley920]

There was 8000 people at the freaking weigh in. Crazy!

[kit99bar]

Randomly saw Sonnen at LAX last Monday.  Will be cheering for him!

[bagley920]

The fight ended as I thought it would but it could easily be argued that that knee to the chest was a glancing blow to the face and thus illegal. Either way, Sonnen was stupid for throwing a spinning back fist and falling down. Not his style!

[pillowPANTS]

Totally not his style. I think the thigh have have contacted Sonnens face but thats not gonna cause damage. I believe fight was stopped early like ALOT of them are but that is Chaels fault for just curling up in the fetal position and letting Anderson throw at will. Very disappointing fight after all that hype

[bagley920]

After the 1st round, I was thinking this could be the first fight all over again but I think Sonnen got too cocky.

I was also very disappointed with Kim going down with an injury. I think if he could have kept things standing, he would have easily won that fight.

Next up is Munoz vs Weidman. Not really excited about this one, hence why it's free. Munoz could be close to a title shot if he wins this one convincingly.

I was most dissapointed with Silva when he a) tried to grease up before the fight and b) kept holding on to Sonnens shorts.

[simonc]

Sonnen slipped and fell and it was over, but on a good/normal day he could tear Silva a new hole, easy.

Def looks bad on Silva for holding shorts. Not so sure he "tried" to grease up. Really looks like he wiped his eyes and got vas on his hands and no where else to wipe to me. But you never know man, short hold looked bad. Maybe he is turning into a lil cheater like GSP

As for Chael being able to beat on Anderson any day of the week, i disagree. He doesnt do allt of "beating" on anyone. Dont get me wrong, he is a great fighter/athlete but he isnt know for really punishing anyone. More of a takedown and control fighter. He does try and land shots tho but usually doesnt do a whole lot of damage. Look at the first fight. Silva didnt even really look like he was in a fight
