I trained MMA for a few months earlier this year until I couldn't fit it in my schedule any more. Long story short, my trainer is fighting in Bellator in CT this Friday. He was actually in UFC a few years ago but retired when he had a child and went through some personal issues but now he's returning to the cage and trying to work his way back up. Pretty awesome and I look forward to watching him. His name is Tamdan McCrory for anyone interested.

I think I remember him. He was on a really early season of TUF wasn't he?

Don't worry, Dana will figure out a new excuse to protect daddy's little girl. He wont even let Bethe get at her and Ronda wants to fight her.

War Machine faces attempted murder charges

http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/9/3...ted-murder-charges-life-in-prison-for-alleged

Koppenhaver, who initially faced nine felony counts for the alleged altercation that left Mack and a second victim, Corey Thomas, hospitalized in the early morning hours of August 8th, now faces a total of 32 felony charges stretching back to May 2013 according to a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, including but not limited to: "attempted murder, sexual assault, battery, coercion, preventing or dissuading a witness or victim from reporting a crime, and first-degree kidnapping resulting in substantial bodily harm."

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
Off topic: but I'm getting ready to go back to Scotland today and I'm not looking forward to the 14 hour flight going back. It's hard to think of how long I've been in Asia. Hell, I started watching MMA during my time here.

Either way, I won't have to wake up at 10am to watch events anymore. Now I just need to stay awake until 5am. I figure I'll be in a lot more chats now with that time difference.

Well, TUF Mexico has really good fights.

You mean Mexico VS Latin America right?, yeah so far they've been good.

This is my first time following a TUF season, and i have a question... why is it that the guys that lose don't leave the house?, i see them around still... when do they leave?, do they get another chance?.

Edit: Nevermind i kind of figured it out.

Will only watching the main card of the ultimate. Jacare ekes a decision through TDs/clinch. I don't see Mousasi being active enough to clearly skew the bout in his favour but he could get a finish.

If I was betting I'd put some money on Rothwell because he's a massive underdog with the durability and power to threaten Overeem but in terms of picks I'd go with Overeem by 1st round sub/TKO (Rothwell's coming off PEDs, his last loss was to a guillotine and a tough chin doesn't help as much against someone who goes mainly to the body). Either that or Overeem continues from his Mir fight and Greg Jacksons his way to a UD.

Can't really pick Mitrione vs Lewis, maybe the Beast gets a KO if he can lure Mitrione into a slugfest.

Lauzon by sub, should he be able to get one early. Not sure how Chiesa's beard will factor into a Rear Naked.

Bobby Lashley vs. Josh Burns via TKO/KO (Exhaustion)

Haha, put the house on it.

I got Overeem by sub if he's smart (risky pick). Lauzon by violence. Toss up between Jacaré and Mousasi. Also don't really know who to root for, kinda like them both a little.
Don't really care for the rest.

My heart says Overeem, my mind says Overeem will fuck this up.

Mousasi over Jacare.


Shogun should be fighting Rich Fanklin. Fun fight for the fans

Man, I just watched the Countdown video...
Mousasi is sparring with BUMS, its fucking crazy.

Also, I am looking forward to all the crap that the Jackson Camp is going to talk about The Reem once he leaves, all that talk there felt super fake.

Yup, but it isn't all Reem's fault. Jones is a prick and probably goes at Reem hard in training cuz he knows he'll be in Reem's division eventually.

Bellator's WCW storyline continues.

Tim Sylvia @timsylviamma
Going to the bellator fights tomorrow night got a big announcement while I am there.

Tomorrow's Bellator card = the first Nitro in Mall of America when Lex Luger shows up.

Helwani confirmed the smaller cage for UFN 50. Now expecting to see Mitrione crumpled against it and Rothwell mashed through it.

Was in the 250s for most of his MMA fights, but he looked more gormandised in K1. Was 260ish against Lesnar, same but softer post suspension against Bigfoot. His cardio probably won't be that much better.

Can't help but feel he'll be pacing himself in attempt to get another decision.

I still think Rothwell is going to crack his already fragile chin

Not as bad as I expected.

As for his fight I can't say I expect much either since there is no chin replacement surgery.
