I'm turning off my feed after Hendo/Machida

Why? Rousey will win by armbar 30 seconds into the first round anyways.

Submission game works just as well for boys and girls. Striking does not. The power isn't really there for women (unless you've been juicing like Cyborg). Rhonda will keep collecting arms unless someone with dude-like power can stop her with shots to the face (yes hetero).

The Last of the Outlaws
The UFC Primetime for Rousey and Carmouche was well done.

It really was minus the unimtentional hilarity of this

I think the fight announcement served as notice of her signing also.

Looks like Diet Nog vs Shogun II may be in the works

"
I believe that the next challenge for Rogerio (Noguiera) will be the same against Shogun. It's a confrontation that the UFC wants to do, for political issues and marketing. They made a classic in PRIDE which was voted the best fight of the year. I think they will want to make this rematch. It is a fight that everybody wants to see." - Sergio Cunha via UOL

Team Nogueria coach, Sergio Cunha, believes Antonio Rogerio Nogueira's next opponent should be former UFC light-heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua.

Cunha, who was Rua's former coach, openly criticized Rua's performance against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC on FOX 5, where the Brazilian lost via unanimous decision. After Nogueira impressive victory over Rashad Evans at UFC 156, Cunha revealed that UFC executives are interested in the bout.

The two light-heavyweight veteran's previously clashed in 2005 at Pride Critical Countdown 2005 in the opening round of the middleweight Grand Prix tournament.

The Barao/McDonald card has a lot of really good match-ups. I'm genuinely looking forward to every fight on the main card. Also, there are no one-sided fights, all the match-ups are pretty even.

My predictions:

Barao via decision [McDonald is a beast as well, so it could go either way]

Poirier via 2nd round sub [Another fight that could go either way]

Manuwa via 2nd round TKO [stand-up war with Manuwa coming out on top, Diabete is a very game striker, just think he lacks the hunger/drive]

Gunnar via decision [interesting to see Santiago at 170, he's very capable of pulling off the upset]

Te-Huna via 1st round TKO [Te-Huna's power is :blink:]

Mills via 2nd round TKO [For some reason I really want Mills to wipe that smirk off Riddle's face]
