Friends, my favorite fighter in the whole entire world, ProElite HW champion Ryan Martinez is gonna be fighting on the Bellator card tomorrow. Marvel as he stands like a statue in the middle of the ring and wings out a few jabs but yet somehow wins the fight.
Also, TBC inadvertantly credited as having one of The Best 25 Celebrity Asses. The person who did the article though thought she was Arianny.

Against Travis Wiuff no less.
Hopefully a Jones - Rashad thing happens with those two, considering Rory is becoming more and more psychotic with each passing day.

That would be an awesome build up with Rorys American Psycho persona hes built up.
Does anybody think GSP lost a step in his last fight? I know it was a blow out and all but GSP seemed pretty fatigued and couldn't take Diaz down at will by the 4th round. There is a good chance hes starting to show signs of leaving his prime.
I definitely think he is slowing a bit, but he was apparently sick the day of the fight as well as the days leading up to it.
He woke up with a fever the day of the fight which would explain his weird cardio issue in the 3rd round. I'll laugh if anyone is relying on GSP gassing against Hendricks who himself is only good for 2 rounds.
Yeah, I think thats why Rory has been living on softball opponents like Che Mills and BJ Penn. I think he's the 2nd best fighter at 170 but there's no point in having him wipe out contenders at 170 if he won't challenge for the belt. Rory and GSP are way closer than Jones/Evans were so there's no chance for any betrayal scenario.

It should be easy street for GSP against Hendricks. Literal definition of puncher's chance for Johny.
Have him face Kampmann, Saffy or Ellenberger before having his revenge match against Condit. By that time hopefully the dust has settled regarding GSP's future.
Personally I think Rory could fuck shit up at 185 if GSP wants to hang around a few more years.
Rory's biggest challenge, in my opinion, is if he is expected to fully follow in GSP's footsteps. GSP, however you regard his "fighting" style, is one of the few cultural icons in MMA. If Rory's expected to fill those shoes then he needs to start cutting promos and disparaging people's performances n' shit ASAP.
I had a feeling the reason why they didn't make that matchup in the quarterfinals is because they know the viewers would want it--might as well keep us watching the show and waiting for the semis or TUF final to see it happen. It will definitely be good to see Bubba get knocked the fuck out by Uriah though..

Yup. They've been built up as the best of the crop so Dana split them on the brackets so-to-speak to increase the likelihood of them meeting in the final. The strategy works two-fold since if either of them gets upset he can bill more of a david and goliath as well.

I hope its Josh that has the so called "mental breakdown" in the house if he has to fight Uriah, but I think its gonna be Bubba. Hes just incredibly mentally weak.
Actually I think it may very well be Josh that has the breakdown. Hes already ducked Uriah and Dana said that somebody put 2 guys in the hospital...so expect Bubba to be stretched out in 2 weeks. Bubba and Josh gettin their asses kicked will be amazing. Both are fucking irritating as hell.

SHANGO IS BACK BABY

Can Velasquez is getting crushed again, friends. With Papa Shango in tow, Bigfoot Silver will shatter another myth just as he did in the above photo with the assistance of the Forbidden Psychological Technology. All part of the master plan to make Mark Hunt a UFC HW Champ in 2013.
Oh and Mr. Bruce Leroy,

I just dont get why UFC loves Bruce Leroy so much. He's barely even Titan or Legacy worthy. And then a positive drug test and he's still not cut?
Dana really liked him on TUF and has been giving him tons of rope ever since. Anyone else would have been cut a long time ago. Call it the Dan Hardy benefit.

I think it's because he toes the company line moreso than the other maryjane afficianado's in his roster. Both Diaz brothers and Riddle were a pain in a very public way. Caceres is almost never in the headlines... at least that I've seen.
I certainly thought so at the time, and got a little worried. Even though he still blanked Diaz in the later rounds, he kinda looked crappy doing so.
Then again, if this is the case:
then that would make sense, and I will be much relieved.
The fact that DREAM 19 has been proposed is news to me!

RE GSP: literally every single person I've spoken to who is a casual says "I like the way he fights and carries himself".
Does anyone have dibs on UFC ON FOX 7? If so I'd like to make that thread. Glory 7 is on the same day and I'm of the mind of making a mega thread combining both events. I'm going to expose UFC-GAF to stand up fights, real knockouts and the best p4p fighter in all sports who will grace us with in-ring surgery that day, Dr. Giorgio Petrosyan.

Real Entertainment is looking to start a new promotion and a show in July but there's no yakuza money:

I was thinking about making and OT for UFC on FOX 7: Cesar Gracie's Last Stand, but go right ahead friend. Gil slangin' that two piece for 5 rounds will be rewarding enough.
Bellator is looking extra Bad tomorrow.
Ryan Martinez vs. Travis Wiuff
Marcus Davis vs. Waachiim Spiritwolf
Could have had Eric Prindle vs. Brett Rogers too until Prindle got injured.

Just watched last night's TUF. Loving the match ups because that Bubba guy is a major jackass and I can't wait to see Uriah Hall absolutely demolish him.

Yeah I'm going to be busy actually attending that Fox 7 show, so I'll pass on the OT for that. 160 is gonna be fun though.
That LW strap ain't leaving NorCal on 4/20, y'all.

You got to see Dustin Hazelett vs Rick Story aka one of the most dangerously lopsided fights since Struve vs JDS.

I'll go on record as saying Johny "The Terror" Hendricks will finally be the one to dethrone GSP.

I don't doubt that Nick's guard wore GSP out more than usual, but did Diaz stop any double-legs or only singles? It's easier to tie up or threaten with a clinch from a single and both Diaz brothers have underrated clinchwork; even against more powerful opponents like Benson and Georges they've been able to get a few moments of control and some good knees in. I think GSP may have been a little wary and thus didn't fully commit to the single, a bit like Brock against Overeem. Chael says that he doesn't favour the single-leg for similar reasons (you give up your hands if you get stuffed) and stuck to the double-leg (almost?) exclusively against Anderson.

The official UFC 160 poster is weak sauce. Should've been this:

Naw, Kos is straight pussy and thinks he's some kind of slick counter puncher to top it off. Hendricks will burst through that cowardly jab and unload with atrocious technique. GSP's pampered ass isn't subject to that sort of primal aggression in sparring and will undeniably fold/retire.

GSP got the 1 frame jab but Hendricks left hook has armour and staggers on counter hit. but then again GSP's takedown is a command grab with 0 frame start up and he does start with 3 bars. Hendricks gonna break under pressure, bust level 1 X-Factor early, GSP gonna chicken block and the fight is over, GSP by 5 round UD.

Bubba sucks. Dude is 29 and has been training at Jackson for 8 about years and is barley Bellator caliber. If he was any good he would have been in the UFC years ago. The way he acted when he beat Kevin was a joke because he looked absolutely terrible in that fight.
The funniest thing was that after the fight in the locker room he said "nothing feels better than breaking a guy down so bad he doesn't even want to compete" yet he looked scared and broken to shit when he had to fight Hall. Hall is sending this cat to the hospital.
You just know GSP is a Zangief player. The dude is a master of the jab spd.
