      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.

          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

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

              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

                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!!!

                  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

                    169 looks amazing
                    cruz vs barao is awesome
                    and any time jose aldo fights its awesome

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

                          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

                            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

                              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.

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

                                    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…

                                          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.
