she hasnt done it in a while but she would easily be the top contender but then again theres the weight problem

it's frustrating because Kelvin was open for knees and uppercuts most of the fight.

-P-

kelvin looked open for almost anything, like bro where did dat viscious jab disappear to? I was screamin for da entire 3 rounds to throw dat jab out there uriah, then kelvin wont b runnin head down from 5 feet away for a take down.

I'm guessin hall still gets a bigger contract then kelvin, his hype n highlight reel will help sell some fuel/fx cards.

Dana needs to get in uriahs head though, tell em leave dat team n move to Jacksons or AKA or even sonnens tm. Sumwhere to teach em sum real takedown defense, and when he has top position how to ground n pound.
Give a stand up gatekeeper wit sum name value, to boost hall's confidence.

When he was on the Joe Rogan podcast Dana said he heard through third party sources that Carano was interested in fighting again, you can take that for whatever you think its worth

^after the stunt she pulled upon the release of haywire its safe to assume shedone breh.Dana was just tryin to use yesterdays face of WMMA to grab headlines and promote the current, which was clever but transparent.If there is someone that seriously believes carano wants to get into mma again I got a bridge to sell you :steviej:

which should've deadend this debate from the jump.And even if she was active would dana really start a 145 div without cyborg? Cuz we already know his feelings on what he saw n strikeforce (with her) and he deemed it an eyesore.
damn these women matches have been

:win:

in the ufc


i think i just saw female version of wonderlei
she already exists and she fights @ 145 at invicta :mjpls:

was i the only one shocked with how gassed tate looked so early? its like once she escaped the guillotine she was in cavewoman mode, moving forward like one of those mini punching bots from japan.Her g/p seemed very delicate too i hate chick fights when you have one fighter thats about it and the other is just a poser.Tate isnt at that level and i hate seeing her get got which is becoming routine.That coenan win really really looks bad on marloes's record right now

that browner/gonzaga match, wasn't dat a straight up and down elbow, 12 to 6. shld have been a dq. dat 1st to had a slight hook, but after dude was jus throwin str8 illegal elbows.

UFC179 | MMA Online

I think the first elbow was legit and rocked Gonzaga but everything that followed up was very questionable. Those did look like 12-6 to the back of the head/neck.

bloody elbow conspiracy
Hall looked… Uninterested, or maybe injured…

But as the fight went on, I thought that maybe was uninterested for a reason. He seems to be a smart, perceptive guy, and part of me wonders if he didn’t plan to lose (but make it very close in the process). $100k over three years and ten fights is insulting to even the lowest level, unmarketable UFC fighters, and Hall and his management know that. Even after this loss, tomorrow Hall is still going to be more marketable than Gastelum (whom we’ll all forget existed next week. Anybody remember Colton Smith? I’m not even sure that’s his name anymore).

The reality is, Hall knows the UFC wants him, and he’ll be making 2 to 4 times what Gastelum will be after tonight’s fight.

Of course, this is all conspiracy nonsense, and I don’t want to take anything away from Gastelum. I almost always root for the underdog. Yesterday I called this fight for him (and Zingano for hers) and while it’s a crap contract he’s signing, it’s doubtful he’d have made it to this level, this early in his career – and listening to him talk, he wasn’t about to talk his way into a contract, so good on him. I likewatching him fight just as much as I do Hall, so maybe it’s a win-win after all.

Weidman started a revolution with that bow.

@Starburst u seen the media scrum for TUF yet. Watch dana's reaction the moment fallon's name is mentioned.Like i said there is a line that even he wont cross to put ufc over..

IDK if Hall just threw the fight to give Kelvin a chance knowing his spot was secure or he was just an overconfident a$$hole. I just hope he dumps that third rate gym hes at and gets with a real team. Jackson or Roufus would never let him pull that silly bullshyt he did last night. Its obvious hes got the skills but something is missing mentally

yea every time i watch it, da 1st one hit Gabe's arm and was a legit elbow. 2nd elbow got gabe in the ear, and had a slight hook, but gabe was still good. That 3rd shot was a str8 12-6 elbow rite to the temple, and the second it landed, Gabe's hole body went limp. everything after dat was just illegal/questionable shots. And that ref, shldve saw gabes body limp n stopped it sooner. Even Florian sd Browne got em wit a elbow to the back of the head while gabe was already out.

Seriously, these commissions need to step up the training of some of these refs, they really gettin dudes hurt out here. I expect more especially from da vegas commission based onthe amt of fights they put on.
