Royston Wee, Will Chope and a Buffalo Wild Wings cook are all gunning for the co-main slot this weekend.

Max is going to legit kill Will Chope

John Hathaway vs. Dong Hyun Kim to headline the TUF: China Finale in March.

That Fight Pass practically pays for itself at this rate.

I'm so close to buying that Fight Pass, I don't even know what's holding me back at this point. I look forward to the Chinese TUF and I'm on board with any card Dong Hyun Kim is on at this point.

John Hathaway vs. Dong Hyun Kim to headline the TUF: China Finale in March.

Good fight but I'd rather have had DHK fight someone currently relevant like Matt Brown or Woodley.

 

[MjFrancis]

Don Hyun Kim stopped the Erick Silva train cold. Uncle Dana's just handing him the opportunity for another highlight reel knockout. Not to knock Hathaway, since he now has the opportunity to prove he's relevant in this fight - looking over his record, this will be the first time he's fought anyone considered a top ten fighter.

Either story works no matter who wins this fight.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Keith Kizer said he probably wouldn't allow a TUE for Belfort if he ever applied for one in Nevada but he'll be dealing with a man with the power and resources to bring snow to a desert.

I hope he denies him one.

 

[GungHo]

I had a dream Gabrielle Giffords was helping me get a new job.

One year ago I had a dream about Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda. Don't ever mix Ambien and Everclear.

Don Hyun Kim stopped the Erick Silva train cold.

It was my second favourite KO of 2013 after Bigfoot destroying Overeem. Not only was it an amazing KO, but it was fucking Kim Dong-Hyun. Who would have thought he had hands like that?

Not to knock Hathaway, since he now has the opportunity to prove he's relevant in this fight - looking over his record, this will be the first time he's fought anyone considered a top ten fighter.

It's also the first time he's fought since September 2012. Combine that with the disparity in talent levels and the fact that Kim Dong-Hyun is the Asian guy headlining an Asian card, and it seems that part of Hathaway's contract for this fight included getting an all-you-can-eat buffet of ham and eggs as a fight bonus.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Stun Gun is a good fighter dammit.

 

[AstroZombie]

What an exhausting day today has been. And theres like..90 percent of it left.

at least your day didn't start with 4 busted windshields and a visit from the police

Well yea there's that. At least you didn't have to drive through half a foot of snow to an airport in a sports car without winter tires.

 

[Dysun]

let us delight in our misery together

 

[AstroZombie]

I need a drink...or fifty

 

[TheChits]

Yeah I really like Stun Gun. For better or worse, the dude just charges forward

 

[MjFrancis]

After that last KO, I don't see how anyone could hate on the guy.

Good point, I didn't consider how long it's been since Hathaway last fought. Dude will be happy enough just getting a paycheck and some travel time.

 

[sazabirules]

I just discovered I can't watch tomorrow's card unless I pay for a stupid Fight Pass. Why are they forcing people to pay extra for a bottom tier card?

 

[Host Samurai]

So UFC hires back Charlie Brennerman but fires Fitch & wont hire Askren?

 

[TheChits]

Fight pass is free until March, so you don't have to pay to watch the card tomorrow

 

[sazabirules]

Okay thanks. I saw someone mentioning a monthly cost the other day so I assumed you already had to pay.

Never posted in a GAF MMA thread that I can remember, but what do you guys think of Lawler going right for a title shot? I'm an old man like he is, and I'm one of those old Pride nerds, but I still don't see how beating up Rory get's you a title shot.

In my perfect world, Hendricks would fight Condit (since they both beat GSP) and Lawler would fight Ellenberger. The winner of those two fights would fight for the belt.

I think you need to watch that fight again.

 

[kamspy]

Yeah, I hadn't watched it since the night of the fight, but after watching the highlights I can see it going either way. I remember being iffy about the decision that night, and I guess the Hendricks decision kinda helped color my memory.

It's weird lobbying against Lawler getting a shot so soon because I'd love nothing more than to see him complete the comeback and win a belt. Maybe it's the Cincinnati sports fan self deprecation coming out in me.

Questionable New Year's resolution judging by that post. Robbie automatically became the best WW in the world when he discovered kicks earlier this year. Rory is a certified "new breed" fighter, so that win is even more impressive than winning a title.

Condit was useless against GSP apart from that fluke kick and got this shot by running away from and getting bitchslapped by Nick Diaz.

 

[Dysun]

Conduit won by Pride rules

Georgie hung on for dear life more successfully than he did with Johny tho

[Dysun]

Lets see how little viewership these cards draw on their 'netflix'
meanwhile people will watch how they always do

 

[muddream]

I thought they could make their Wild Bill's Fight Network interesting by exclusively matching up funny names like when Honey Jason and Godofredo Pepey were fighting for the TUF Braziu title, but then I remembered that it costs actual money.

Lawler is exciting and marketable, of course he deserves a shot. Rory was GSP's bitch boy, so it makes sense to go from the sidekick to the big shot.
his fight with Hendricks won't go beyond the 2nd round, IF it reaches it.

 

[Vio-Lence]

how long before these UFC netflix fights end up being backyard BBQ fights ala Kimbo?

 

[Chamber]

They really need to bring the quality on these Fight Pass shows. Being able to watch old mma shows isn't appealing enough for me to pay $10 bucks a month.

They're spread way too thin as is so I can't say my hopes are high.

 

[sazabirules]

What old fights do they have on there? If they had Pride I'd subscribe.

 

[BigJonsson]

They have every fight (I think)

Pride is there

Hopefully they get the rights to Extreme Indigeneous Fighting, which is a combination of backyard fighting and Japanese ring doctors doing Carawayesque things.

 

[alr1ght]

This movie is good

Watch it instead of that terrible card.

What the fuck, he's out, quick someone rub his dick.

 

[industrian]

I can't even sign up to this Fight Pass and I'm in an area where the timezone is perfect for watching it...

...but if I want to watch this single event I can pay $9.99 (for SD) or $12.99 (for HD) to miraculously watch it on UFC.tv

 

[parrotbeak]

I will get fight pass. They need go have ultimate fighter from other countries on there though. China looks like a good season full of stars. If the Ultimate needs fill ins, they should really think of adding Nick Newell.

I may go for it too. If I can pay for Netflix and barely use it I can pay $10/mon for a Fight Night and occasional extras.

One year ago I had a dream about Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda. Don't ever mix Ambien and Everclear.

Oh when I read this I thought you meant Foda. Never saw Hoda before. Gross either way though.

At least when the Japanese do this it kinda makes sense cuz the guy got hit there. This is more like the caraway version of Ultimate Surrender meets Sleep Creep.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Fight Pass doesn't have an app eyt? Da deyl?

 

[industrian]

It appears that Gil Melendez is ducking Khabib Nurmayaddayaddamedov. Fight has been cancelled. :/

That and Din Thomas has met Father Time and decided just to shake his hand and walk away. Good luck to him in the future.
