when i saw tyron woodley vs jake shields was fighting tonight i was like


now im just like i shouldve fukking known

 

[FaTaL]

nobody deserves to win this fight

 

[Screwface Exchange]

Showtime Pettis is really starting to lose credibility with me here. Dis dude didnt want to wait around to fight Bendo again, so he picked a fight with Aldo, he got his wish to fight Aldo, and now flopped due to a knee injury. While still injuried now, dis tool is saying he wants to come back early from his knee injury and replace TJ Grant vs Bendo at end of August. Sum1 really needs to slap this idiot.

Damnit Pettis. All that jumpin off that damn cage. Stop it man, this aint the fukkin matrix. Wow, theres no fight i care about right now.

 

[p00rky]

I was surprised Rashad rocked Henderson. Look like Woodley was scared of Shields. I don't know why.

i wasn't too surprised. hendo's not a dude that gets knocked out but he does get rocked quite a bit. it's his recovery/survival ability that's

i dunno why woodley was scared of jake either. he wasn't pulling the trigger much on the stand-up and he seemed okay with just grappling on the fence. woodley probably could've taken him down, got a little g'n'p in and got out if he was that afraid of his ground game. he would've won the fight that way for sure.

 

[Willy Waffle]

woodley disappointed alot of people last night, i really didn't see that coming

and wtf is pettis doing, what is this bullshyt. he got his wish with aldo, pulls out now wants hendo. he needs to sit out until he's healthy again.

Exactly how i feel about pettis now. I'll admit, i wasn't a huge fan of TJ Grant gettin the next title shot, but once a guy fights and wins and earns a shot, how dare Pettis or ne1 else, think they can just takeaway what he has earned.

Woodley-Shields was frustrating.


You're a pressure wrestler that walks fighters down, gets them up against the cage, attacks their body and takes them down.

Woodley allowed Jake fukking Shields to "woodley" him

I can't even remember one punch Jake landed on Tyron's face...if Woodley would've pressured Jake instead of being delusional enough to think he was gonna blow by him like he did Hieron by lunging in and landing one punch, that's just dumb. He trains with ATT? They couldn't think of a better gameplan than that? And that muscle ain't helping him in the long run....dude gets sorta gassed.


I know he's being a brat but....I really wanna see Pettis and "Smooth" rematch....that fight would sell out in Milwaukee...nobody knows TJ Grant yet...they could've given him one more fight w/ a top ranked LW...the division is teeming with LWs.

Not surprised Suga was hurting Dan and was only mildly surprised that Stipe beat Roy.

 

[So UnThotful]

So nobody In the UFC office checked for this before booking the Boston card?

--'Today's Boston Herald is reporting that the UFC's 8/17 date at the TD Gardens in Boston is in jeopardy over a legal technicality.

Massachusetts has a law that bars foreign born fighters from fighting in the state without a valid social security number.

"The law has been in existence since we legalized mixed martial arts in the commonwealth of Massachusetts," said Terrell Harris, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, which is the state's regulatory body. "It's been brought to the attention of the UFC more than a few times since we legalized the fighting here. But they've chosen basically to ignore the law and hope tha they could skirt it somehow.

The law was not enforced in 2010 when UFC debuted in the arena and UFC has petitioned the state for an exemption. Harris said the law is the law.

The story noted Massachusetts house speaker Robert DeLeo wanted UFC to contact lawmakers to find a solution.

A press conference that was to kick off ticket sales has been postponed.

One would think if this issue isn't settled very quickly, the show would be moved to a new location.'--

Yep, the fight sells itself. The UFC is all about making big fights and that's the biggest fight the UFC can make in the LW division. Pettis was the last man to beat Bendo, and he did it in Bendo's hometown...now Bendo is the champ and he's fighting in Pettis' hometown.

Plus, Pettis has been passed up for a title shot almost three times now, so the UFC owes it to him here. Grant doesn't even need to take another fight really, he fought at the end of May (Pettis hasn't fought since the end of January) so realistically TJ can still fight the winner at the end of the year.

That's Pettis own fault, he chose not to wait to fight Bendo and wanted to call out Aldo. He chose not to wait for Edgar as Edgar just had the draw against Maynard in Jan 11, so Pettis wanted to make money and agreed to fight Guida in june 11, and he LOST. You can't be calling for shots after you lose. Then he barely beat stephens was a split, can't be calling for shots after shaky performances.

If Pettis really wanted that champ fight he has 2 choices be patient and wait for Edgar, or fight and win. Instead he lost, I don't see how Dana nor the UFC could have done anything differently.
