OK that KO was sick. Jesus Christ. You can tell how bad it was because nobody cheered or nothing. Just dead silence.

Even Uriah had the look

I did the JackieChan gif as soon as I heard that kick connect. First 2 weeks of the show and 2 monstrous knockouts. For various reasons, this has been the best season of TUF in a while, IMO.


On UFC Tonight...Chael said he texted Rashad to ask why he looked so bad against Lil Nog and Rashad replied that he injured his hand early in the first round, it effected his striking and wrestling and he lost confidence. It had to be something like that...that couldn't possibly have been the actual gameplan.

Damn I need to start watching TUF apparently.

[The Infamous]

I enjoyed the post fight celebration [hadoken] almost as much as the KO itself.

Barnett would've been a pretty good opponent [considering the other options available] for Cain and the HW title.

been sayin such for years dana basically outlined the particulars of the aldo/pettis situation at the presser.Then at the scrum some bone head asks if it means aldo will be moving up to 155 now

Well look at the credentials of the voting media most are local sports media that are credentialed for multiple types of sports and those who are not taking checks from Zuffa (cough cough Helwani) are seemingly not voting. I mean seriously John Morgan, Dundes, Fowlkes, Matt Erickson all are not voting off of ethics then you have people like Josh Gross who will never be able to vote since personally feuds with Dana

I don't get why Uriah wasn't the #1 pick...or #2 .

I know they edit the prelim fights alot, but it seemed obvious that he was the deadliest fighter (definitely best striker) in the competition.

Nobody seemed to mention it, but that shyt seemed weird to me.

Cyborg via twitter (Probably written by her manager Tito Ortiz)

I am not afraid of Rhonda! I will fight her anywhere and anytime for free - everyone knows I barely make 145- but I am willing to sacrifice and meet her half way at 140- I can't believe dana says I want nothing to do with Rhonda- what he wants me to do is fight Rhonda with both my hands tied behind my back or comatosed-so that she can have a chance-which is what making me fight at 135 is- to finally shut everyone up - i will fight Rhonda with one hand tied behind my Back at 140lb and still kick her ass and prove that I'm the real champ not her- and let the winner take ALL come on rhonda step up bytch!

Ronda's response via twitter

Ronda Rousey ‏@RondaRousey
You can wait your turn - or make your turn

Dana's response

“If that’s what (Cyborg) is willing to do, is go to 140, let Rhonda defend her title a few times and see if Rhonda wants to go to 140,” White told mmaweekly.com on Thursday.

“If I know Rhonda, she probably would anyway. If (Cyborg) wants to fight for a title, she’s gotta go to 135 pounds. The fight at 140 would be a fan fight because everybody wants to see it, but it’s not one of those fights that makes sense.”

So If Ronda is willing, according to Dana to make 140 then why is she running her mouth saying Cyborg should come to her at 135lb?

Of course it makes sense Dana, its what you and the fans want- no one is interested in the other fights

Dana White is so full of feaces..

They must have offered him really crappy terms

Is it me or is Cain Valasquez the most BORING champ ever? He is supposed to be the baddest man on the planet...

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Pettis cannot beat Aldo. He got worked by Guida. Hes good but people dont understand the level that Aldo is on. Aldo will beat Pettis and Bendo.

LW is stacked sky high. I'm glad there are LWs coming down to meet him at 145. If not, I'd be screaming for him to move up and take a few fights at LW like the way Anderson Silva does for LHW.
