I don't understand why everyone in the house is already handing Bubba the wildcard dude looked unimpressive against the most inexperienced guy in the house and got finished.

Me neither, I guess because he was one of the only ones to not get completely dominated and take little to no damage like the other losers so far, still that shyt HAS to go to clint hester now. Even though he got taken down 3 times the guy did NO damage and clint was delivering some hard ass hits. He just got caught in the choke.

Damn. Too bad Cormier and Cain won't fight. A JDS vs Cormier "title eliminator" would be interesting, even though JDS is coming off a loss. Lets be serious tho. Him vs Reem was gonna get the next ass whooping from Cain


Kinda glad Reem vs JDS isn't happening. Wasn't looking forward to seeing Overeem get that chin tapped up like I believe was gonna happen.

162 has Silva defending and Feijao/T. Silva.....Is this gonna be in Brazil?

And SMH @ Clint going for a takedown...WHY DID HE DO THAT?????

But Jon was telling Clint to go for kimuras and such...I think Jon is too aggressive w/ his coaching...thinking his fighters can do anything while Sonnen's a realist who just tells his guys to do what they can and keep doing it.



:snoop: @ Jon telling Clint to tell the ref the punches weren't hurting and Quinlan slipping the choke in as soon as Clint raised his head to speak.



Would yall rather see JDS/Hunt or Big Country/Hunt? I think JDS fighting him is too risky. If Junior losing that fight, he's basically tarnished.

Vegas :smugfavre:

In this situation I don't see why they cant do JDS/Hunt. Its not for the title, JDS is coming off a loss while Hunt is on a 4 fight win streak, and all the other HW's are busy. I don't think anyone wants to see Roy/JDS 2 right now which would probably lead to kongo/hunt 2. I say throw hunt in with JDS. :clap:

and yeah, BantamWeight title needs to stay on Fuel/FX

Like all title fights [even interim], it's going to headline. Who else should headline then?

I wouldn't mind if JDS waits for Overeem, who said he'll be ready for early July. JDS/Hunt would be great as well, but, I'd still prefer Overeem/JDS.


:what: 161 is looking real good:

Barao/Wineland
Rashad/Hendo
Shogun/Lil Nog
Woodley/Shields
Maia/MacDonald (rumored)


Barao/Wineland is going to be an exceptional fight. Wineland has power, good TDD, is tough to finish and is a great striker. I wouldn't count him out, though I still got Barao taking it.
