I think Gustafsson vs. Manuwa is more interesting than it's getting credit for. I think we'll learn a lot from that match-up either way. It just does not make a lot of sense for the 205 title picture considering there's very few credible opponents left for Jones, and this guarantees there will be one less for the foreseeable future.

This division needs 30-something blue chip prospect Glover to shock da whirl before it slips firmly into Thales Leites territory.

Real Diaz vs lay praynard tonight? I'm in.

That was some high level acting right there...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lmao @ a dude doing a celebratory backflip after being DQ'd.

 

[dream]

Two observations from the random glimpses I've caught of this show:

1) WMMA is dead after this shit show.
2) That UFC 168: Same Old Shit commercial is the worst commercial the Ultimate has done in weeks.

 

[BigJonsson]

Ronda is so salty and looks bothered by stuff......I wonder if she is sad that Paul Walker died

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

1) WMMA is dead after this shit show.

Afraid not, poopy pants.

They are going to add 125 lbs and expand for years to come.

Deal with it.

 

[alr1ght]

Dana will cancel WMMA if Hotrod loses. Shit is embarrassing.

Women's MMA is not evolved enough to merit this kind of coverage. Yeah you have the top of the top, like Ronda, but from a skill/entertainment standpoint, the rest of these women would barely belong in a county fair show, let alone the UFC. Too much too soon. UFC fell in love with Ronda and doubled down and I don't see it paying off.

 

[Dysun]

Women's TUF is like Men's TUF. Shitty fighters all around, but the bar is way lower for women

 

[BigJonsson]

Holdsworth (Team Tate) wins the men's contract

Geeze, this is a long event......the women's fight better be quick

 

[Can Crusher]

HWPO!!!!

Gotta make room for all the commercials!

 

[BigJonsson]

Gotta make room for all the commercials!

A PPV would be on to the main event now =/

I have a feeling Silva is going to win quick in devastating fashion this time

 

[alr1ght]

I started watching the prelims at 10 PM (so a 2 hour buffer) and I caught up after the second fight on the main card. That's how much padding these shows have.

 

[alr1ght]

Det. Brian O'Connor did BJJ

heh

 

[BigJonsson]

Well, that is over

Pena wins 1st round TKO ground and pound

Maybe they can get Diaz and Maynard started by 12:30 =/

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

What a shitty. That was some light GnP to Rackozy's arms.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Really weird timing on the stoppage considering how well she was protecting herself and how close it was to the end of the round but I doubt the outcome would've been different given more rounds anyways.

 

[alr1ght]

TUF finalist Jessiva Rakoczy now has a 1-4 MMA record. #onlythebest

 

[BigJonsson]

Damn, Diaz was all over Maynard

 

[Master Thespian]

Starched.

 

[MrSerrels]

Man Mayard out on his feet.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hahahhahahahahahahahahah yuyyyyeeeeessssss

 

[Jest Chillin]

God damn, TKO'd bad.

 

[Hex]

Covering up is not enough, she was not trying to improve her position.
She completely stopped trying to get out or move, she cracked.

 

[alr1ght]

Frankie broke Gray's chin.

 

[abstract alien]

What in the hell. I did not expect that at all.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Covering up is not enough, she was not trying to improve her position.

She was covered up, most of the blows were missing, and she had been trying to get out, albeit unsuccessfully. The rules say you have to "intelligently defend yourself" not that you have to be improving your position or escaping. Otherwise why not just mount anyone and punch their arms til a stoppage?

 

[BigJonsson]

Diaz is ridiculous

He should fight Melendez

 

[alr1ght]

Lol censors missed a motherfucker there.

 

[Norml]

Nice combos by Nate!

 

[abstract alien]

 

[polyh3dron]

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU AND MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Heel]

Gray putting over the scrapper with a concussed flop. Truly a legend of this so-called sport.

Ref gave me Curran vs. Warren flashbacks.

Oh yeah, holy shit at UFC doing crowd shots of a half empty arena, even for the main event. Maybe it's time to start moving everyone in front of the hard camera and never panning.

lol I shut it off after the fight. Nate spittin' the real.

 

[TheChits]

I could only catch the main event, but was the card worth watching?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I seen about 3 minutes of one of the womens fights. That was enough.

I did see some titties in The Play Room stream, best console feature eva.

Oh yeah I won huhaha. That's whats up - Nate Diaz

Gray Maynard got taken out the same way against Grant. His chin is done.

Instead of a FOTN bonus, they should just give the money to Nate. Because that was more entertaining than anything else on the card.

And with that said, Maynard's days at the top-end of the division look numbered. Frankie's refusal to be KO'd (and in turn being KO'd by Frankie) looks like it did a number on him. Maynard should be a good mid-level gatekeeper at this point, but that depends on whether or not Dana thinks he'd be an Okami-esque roadblock or not. Maynard said he'd entertain dropping to 145 for a fourth fight with Frankie, but to be honest he's flirting with being cut now.
