Didn't pit bull lose to Bigfoot in strikeforce too?
Knowing that Silva has now been forced to abandon his medically essential hormonal treatments in order to continue his career probably gave Arlovski the confidence to unleash the movement and offence he was missing in the first fight.

Fuck yeah, Arlovski! I don't think he can beat Mark Hunt or beat Roy Nielson again however...

Winner of that fight makes sense as the next opponent for Arlovski, IMO.

Sad thing is that the most exciting about last night's night of festivities was the Argentinian national anthem. That flute is real.

Have been losing some interest in MMA for the first time but thankfully the string of godawful events is finally over. Well for the next two events at least. Then back to football. I'm surprised 37 year old Romero who has looked pretty weaksauce is the favorite over grinding specialist Tim Kennedy. Romero got sizzled by Feijao pretty easily.

When was the last time Nelson fought someone who wasn't several inches taller than him? Probably ignorant speculation here, but his overhand seems to travel up almost as much as it does forwards, which can be tricky for a taller opponent to see coming, but I don't see it being as effective against someone of a similar height; easier to block/jamb/dodge, wouldn't land in the same spot, more time to be countered. Could see Hunt getting a straight or a check hook through in that situation.
 
I want to watch the Japan card but don't want to bother with Fight Pass

If it was on TV I'd watch for sure

I guess this makes sense for the UFC.......or at least they claim it does

I was thinking the same thing when he was fighting Struve and Bigfoot. I think he should have an easier time hitting Roy

Anybody watching TUF 20? I'm pretty excited for this season, and am pulling for JoJo Calderwood to win it. She's one bad mofo.

I hope we get to see Rose vs JoJo at one point, that would be a very very very entertaining fight!

Caught a bunch of her fights in Invicta and she's pretty impressive, equal parts Matt Brown and Anderson Silva, definitely someone to watch out for.
