i really wanna see mma in person but i dont wanna see that sorry card in san jose


:camby:

I don't want to come off as some elitish snob but if you think this is a sorry card you are not an MMA fan. That post is something a casual would say followed by "where is Rampage and Chuck Lidell?"



Throw in a title fight and this couldve been a ppv

Card on paper is easily best of the year from a quality standpoint

Thinking about it, this upcoming FOX card would be a great card to attend. Less expensive and better than the last few PPVs we've had. :leon:

:wtf:

UFC on FOX 12 has a solid main card.

MAIN CARD
Matt Brown vs. Robbie Lawler
Anthony Johnson vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Dennis Bermudez vs. Clay Guida
Bobby Green vs. Josh Thomson
Daron Cruickshank vs. Jorge Masvidal

We have probably fight of the year on this card in Brown/Lawler. Rumble is going to brutally KO Lil Nog. Bermudez is a very exciting fighter, while Guida has been boring as of late (haven't watched his last fight with Kawajiri, but I heard it was pretty good), this fight has the potential to be:snooze: or :krs:. Green/Thomson is a solid replacement to Johnson/Thomson. And Cruikshank/Masvidal will be a back and forth striking battle.
That card is awesome.

We know what we're getting out of the main event

Rumble looks re-energized so he and Lil' Nog should be interesting

Guida is either hit-or-miss with his fights, but I'll be optimistic here

And Cruickshank is on the card? :ohhh: Represent the 313 well, breh. :salute:

:camby: But hes got Cyborg/Carano on deck so he doesn't give a fukk. Watch she fights some undersized midget like Adrande before Ronda too
:why: are cats still deluding themselves carano is coming back to fight, i mean how many rumours of these "talks" that amount to nothing need to happen before its obvious. She might've started out a kbxr but once she gained celebrity that was it all she sees now is stars. 5 years removed and folks still think shes going leave her str8 to dvd gig and get her face wrecked :camby:

^^ I thought that was Rumble Johnson at first and it had me :sadbron:

Sucks for The Menace but it is what it is :manny:



Destroy? :beli:
Cat was down on the scorecards in that fight before the stoppage. Nice finish but I wouldn't call that destroying somebody. Destroying is what Ronda did to Tate in the rematch. Beat that hoe in every facet of the game and then made her tap to the same move again.
Cat has too many holes in her game to make me think she has a chance at Rousey. Miesha took her down easily and she keeps her chin straight up in the air when she strikes. Cat is just another one of the girls below Ronda. She does not stand out at all.
dude you are just arguing for the fukk of it, the way that fight ended was brutal

:ohhh:
aint u heard shes asking for no less than a mill, if her movie career took off like the rock's that would be 1 thing but shes clearly overpricing herself cuz she doesnt want to fight. And another thing she struggled just to make 145 in her day so 135 is lofty at best. Which begs the question if its not for the belt or bantamweight whats the fukin point?

shes overpricing to negotiate, we all know she doesnt want to fight anymore

if they did fight this would have to be at 150 or a little over, there aint no way she can make 145 today

whats the point? the spectacle i guess and ratings, kinda seems like the ufc is turning into pride

She will make more money in a one fight with Ronda then any b level DVD trash. Stop it.

Cruikshank has had some :ohlawd::damn: finishes in the UFC. His kickboxing/TKD is on point.

"One down, one to go," White told ESPN.com. "I'm going to meet with Gina next week and get that f---ing thing done. Next week, man. It's just a matter of me and Lorenzo going to jump on a plane to Los Angeles, get in a room with her and her lawyer and get this thing done."
White also defended Ronda Rousey's suggestion that Carano be given an immediate title shot as he believes she is "legit."
"I do think she does [deserve an immediate title shot]." White said. "She's legit, everybody knows she's legit. When I met with her, if some of these people said half the [expletive] to me that she said to me when we met, I'd love it. I love what she had to say and I'm excited. I hope I get a deal done with her."

That FN card in conn is looking stacked. Moose/Jacare are supposedly headlining it and Overeem/Rothwell is also on there. Lauzon/Chisea and Hester/Phillipou also. They giving Hester a striker finally. I see UFC magicians trying to stat pad Overeem with cans to get back in title contention but he may still find a way to get knocked out by Rothwell



A fight night card...of this magnitude :banderas:


kinda funny how rhonda dont want cyborg at 145 but shes willing to move up to accommodate gina

:ohhh:


It's also funny how Rhonda doesn't wanna fight cyborg @ 145 but she's totally confident she can beat one of the greatest male combat athletes ever @ 147 and a champion @ 154.....Floyd Mayweather Jr.:heh:
