If you think those standups were good, please just stick to kickboxing - it's exactly what you want.

 

[yacobod]

Mirgliotta is the best ref in the UFC brah. Would you rather have inconsitent Herb Dean who's been coasting on his reputation for years, or surfer brag Yamasaki DQing a guy on suspect shots to the "back of the head"?

what did Rumble do at the weigh-ins?

 

[yacobod]

what did Rumble do at the weigh-ins?

showed up at 200# for a fight at 185#

 

[alr1ght]

Alright, Dan Mirgs should have reffed this fight.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

actually I'd like to see Rumble vs. Tito next. If Rumble loses, he can blame bad conditioning, if Tito loses he can reveal he was actually paralyzed from the waist down during a freak injury in practice 2 days earlier but didn't want to make any excuses.

 

[bloodydrake]

Dan not letting Johnson sit in guard is how all the wrestlefuckers should be treated.

Well Said..

Preach to these clowns, brother.

 

[Maklershed]

Time for Aldo to underwhelm us all.

The sad thing is before he came to UFC nobody would ever think to say this. I guess the weight cuts have just been getting to him lately.

Yeah, arguing that those stand ups were good is pretty ridiculous.

 

[Zeliard]

Time for Aldo to underwhelm us all.

Though even the unusually tentative Aldo of late is still dominant and easily outclasses his opponent. It's definitely more fun to see Aldo the monster; hopefully we'll get it tonight.

 

[alr1ght]

oh yeah, no padding.

 

[dream]

There was a time when Miguel Angel Torres was widely considered to be the top p4p fighter in the world too.

WEC was a lot of smoke and mirrors.

Terrible stand ups. But at the end of the day, fuck Rumble. So it's all good.

 

[LowEndTorque]

How foolish of him.

The guy manages to make 170 all the time but can't make 185 in the biggest fight of his career?

 

[industrian]

Embarrass himself.

 

[Centurion]

Im going Jose Aldo by decision, 3-2.

 

[BigKaboom2]

Mirgliotta is the best ref in the UFC brah.

Rosenthal and Herzog are the best IMO.

 

[Quake1028]

Stand ups were awful.

I want to punch Goldberg's face.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Dan not letting Johnson sit in guard is how all the wrestlefuckers should be treated.

Steve Mazzagatti would've let Rumble lay on Vitor with his back to the cage for the whole round. Those standups seemed arguably a little quick.

There is balance in the force.

[alr1ght]

he apparently cut so much weight (he was down to 187) his leg went numb and the docs made he rehydrate, thus blowing him up to 197.

 

[yacobod]

How foolish of him.

eh he really wasn't managing the cut to 170 either, thats why he moved up

It's the same division...

Aldo has admitted to fighting safe since he became champion so not sure why everyone looks for another explanation.

 

[industrian]

I can't hear this song and not instantly think I'm playing Burnout. Platinum'd that bitch years ago.

He could very well steamroll WEC Fighter Chad Mendes but I think his fights against Kenny Florian and Machine Hominick showed that UFC competition is a step above what he was used to in the minor leagues.

 

[Quake1028]

Urijah buzz cut!

 

[ShaneB]

Well nevermind, looks like this is gonna start earlier than I thought.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Big Country

I can't watch the bad stand ups, bad ref

Wow someone trying to help vitor, this is mma right?

 

[Maklershed]

This song makes me picture the Burnout Paradise title screen.

 

[yacobod]

team alpha male should be team napoleon complex

I hate GnR, but I cant deny my love for Burnout Paradise! *high five*

Hominick is mediocre. Dude hasn't beaten anyone since Yves Edwards 6 years ago.

I'd take Faber and Brown over Hominick all day.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Urijah buzz cut!

He did it to support his ailing sister, very commendable of him. Urijah is the only one of those Team Alpha Male douches I actually like.

 

[The Hermit]

wtf @ music...

 

[alr1ght]

Aldo's got an assload of endorsement dollars on the line.

 

[Fifty]

Aldo using Rihanna as his entrance music is the worst by a champ since Matt Hughes.

 

[Quake1028]

I've always thought MMA fighters should wear their belts to the cage like wrestlers do.

 

[Heel]

It's a shame this card is going to pull so few buys. Great main card is about to be topped off by a new champion.

 

[Dysun]

Here's to hoping WEC Aldo shows up and puts an awesome stamp on this great card.

 

[BigKaboom2]

This fight could feature the loudest sustained booing on record. Or maybe Aldo will get his killer instinct back, but I doubt it.

 

[Balehead]

Rogan saying Aldo's a bit leaner now. Hope he's fired up and has the cardio to go on.

 

[dream]

Hominick is mediocre. Dude hasn't beaten anyone since Yves Edwards 6 years ago.

I'd take Faber and Brown over Hominick all day.

I think Machine Hominick blows too but if there was a 6th round, he would have been FW champ.

 

[Technosteve]

How long will this fight be?

 

[industrian]

Chad Mendes by crane kick. Believe.

 

[Maklershed]

5 rounds

 

[alr1ght]

How long will this fight be?

either 2 minutes or 25.

 

[Heel]

Mendes via decision and jetpack escape through the arena roof.

 

[yacobod]

this is going to be like Silva/Okami 2 in Rio brahs

 

[Net_Wrecker]

:LOL
