Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Roman Brady]

Sounds like Fox is really trying to make the UFC a regular sport now like baseball and football or gulp WWE. Where every week there is a fight, and every month has 1 ppv and some months will have 2 ppv's if its a title fight.

i dont think thats fox's call, the only say they have when it comes to ppvs is the slots for prelims

Thats what I thought, but everytime I'm watching sunday football Fox be putting out so many ufc ppv ads and promo, so i guess they love just piggy backing on the ufc draws for their own ads and prelims and what not. It truly is a great partnership between ufc and fox, in comparison to Spike, as Spike really brought nothing to the table outside of a network willing to show fights.

took murica dude soul with that body shot

 

[The Infamous]

Glad this guy got tKO'd, with a bodyshot nonetheless.

 

[The Infamous]

We got another 'Merica in the cage too

Shlemenko's a beast, entertaining in the ring and in the post-fight interview

Will Brooks looked great against Tiger, hard to say what kind of threat he'd pose against Alvarez or Chandler but he's big, has athleticism and good takedowns

Rick Hawn's KO was nasty too

Goiti Yamauchi looks like a legit lightweight prospect, only 20 years, submission specialist but got a nice KO

And on the regional circuit Lyoto's brother caught a body

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Impressive performance by Rick Hawn, he lost the 1st rd but was able to come back and utilize his jab in the 2nd to score the KO in the 3rd. I favor Lima though when they fight to crown a new WW champ.

Will Brooks had a good strategy and neutralized Tiger's biggest weapon, his striking. He was also more open in throwing on his feet. They have to do the rubbermatch and Dave Jansen still hasn't gotten his LW title shot from the tourney he won.

Shlemenko is always fun to watch, those body shots to Rhino . His fight against Ward should be a good one as well.

do you guys think Tyron Woodley could be the black Johnny Hendricks ?

only thing I don't like is that he's at ATT which means he won't fight Thiago Alves, Hector Lombard, or Robbie Lawler all of which would be fireworks.

I think Woodley loses to all 3. This is assuming Thiago Alves comes back 100%.

 

[puppetmaster]

Brutal ass KO's last night.
