Did anyone get the UFC PPV combo offer from DirecTV?

UFC 152-157 for $137.50

It shows Mir, Cigano, Bones, Spider, Cain and GSP in the email/ad

I hope ATT Uverse has that

Just saw 2 white men with their adopted black baby boy. The boy was dressed in Capri pants and a polo shirt. Seemed kinda odd. Thoughts?

excuses excuses, dude had a half zombie with a weak chin standing in front of him for 3 rounds and he almost lost (sans a last minute flurry) griffin got him down and felt him up a little and he aint even got a rasslin base.Putting stock in rampage and expecting him to deliver is fools game

Jardine was never that bad of a fighter and the fight wasn't as close as ppl claim anyway. Rampage landed the most significant strikes and outwrestled him. Jardine doesn't get knocked out everytime. You know that, right?

Griffin didn't get a takedown either. He hurt rampage's leg w/ a kick and was trying to guillotine 'page while kneeing him. Page basically pulled guard b/c he knew his leg was f#cked. He's got top 5 TDD @ 205....even though he is :larry holmes: overall. Stop 2/3's of Jones TD's and stuffed 9 of 12 of Rashad's TDs.

And to those of you that think Jones is scared of Sonnen. Why would he be scared? Sonnen was avg. @ LHW...he moved to MW for a reason. Jones is literally better everywhere.

the image of 2 gays studying a black boy's maturation like a lab rat sickens me.But why did ceasar feel compelled to tweet this? cant wait until this fade is over with

Jardine was never that bad of a fighter

Dont act like without the last minute knock down the judges couldnt have easily handed that fight to jardine.It is even documented that dana said jardine would've won if it wasnt for what happened at the end

Jardine doesn't get knocked out everytime. You know that, right?

Who said he did? I just said he has a susceptable chin and fought in a style rampage begs his opponents to fight and he still couldnt produce a KO.Learn to read

Griffin didn't get a takedown either. He hurt rampage's leg w/ a kick and was trying to guillotine 'page while kneeing him. Page basically pulled guard b/c he knew his leg was f#cked.

Fact is he got him down and felt him up during the course of the fight..

.even though he is :larry holmes: overall. Stop 2/3's of Jones TD's

This fight was the start of jones looking like a jaxon fighter.He was timid as hell but when he wanted that TD he got it with reletive ease

and stuffed 9 of 12 of Rashad's TDs

I aint going to find a site to watch this boring fight again but according to you rashad only got him down 3 times in the whole fight? either that stat is fabricated or rashad kept him on the floor once he got him there for long azz stretches, which anchors my argument anyhow

Jon Jones Says Dana White Put Blame For UFC 151 Cancellation On Everyone But Himself - Bloody Elbow

Via the Montreal Gazette:

"I had to do what's right for myself by turning down that fight, Dana had to do what was right for himself by putting the blame on everyone else except for himself," Jones said by phone Wednesday. "The lesson to be learned is, at the end of the day, you have to protect yourself and your family."

...

"I think in the future, this can make me and Dana even better off," Jones said. "For him to get out how he felt about me in that situation, it will help me look at things more business-oriented. A lot of good can come out of it. Fighters can learn the lesson of doing what's best for themselves and not feeling like puppets. I think the UFC has learned a lesson of making sure they stay loyal to the fans and give them full cards."

Dang first he incites that UFC pride themselves on puttin out fully stacked cards but couldnt deliver on 151.Now hes directly throwing jabs at dana..This a complete 180 to the guy last year that was ready to sell his grandmother down the river to please massa.That nike deal must've really put some hairs on his chest.Even the most staunch jones haters should admire his imprudence I dont think there has ever been a ufc fighter (not on the outs) that has gone in like this

 

[baltimore]

yo even though i feel like he shoulda just took the fight and saved the card.. i like how he is carrying shyt now, yall right though that nike contract probably has made him more comfortable

fukk an excuse just say you aint feel like it and its dana fault for that shallow ass card

 

[iMajor]

Jones coming thru with the word of reason. I hope he runs through everyone Dana puts in front of him. What rampage said about Dana and black fighters maybe more true than false now.

I always suspected something was amiss with the lack of marketing silva got.His treatment of rashad since TUF, The cut throat way gerrald harris & other blacks were fired.Or the distinction he makes for white l&prs as oppose to black ones

But what did rampage say? its not like he didnt play along and do the whole simpleton routine.Anything he might've said was bred from bitterness cuz he feels devalued by zuffa dats fosure

It hurts because I can't find the exact video or quotes I believe it was around the time after he lost to rashad...

And before mayweather had called out UFC for not paying their fighters properly...

Reason why I bring up mayweather because rampage also agreed that UFC fighters don't get paid well....

I just remember taking rampage words with a grain of salt at that time because he was just spewing sht all over the place about the UFC
