Tom Cruise was the last samurai. Ryu Machida is a bad fighter, who drinks his own piss, and evokes the image of the karate kid. Even worse he's lost 3 out of his last 4 fights. Total Tomato Can Status.

That Werdum loss was a fluke. Werdum was trolling the entire time. No excuses for the Big Foot loss. He got his ass beat in round 2.
NYE is going to be awesome. I'm pretty sure it'll be on in the A.M. after Lesnar-Overeem. The original announcement was 20+ MMA, WMMA, kickboxing and pro wrestling bouts. So far...

UFC is on Friday night.
I think with the time difference it's never on during the actual NYE here. The early AM of the 31st if I remember right...

Maybe so. I never watch it because it's so late, basically in the morning. I tried last year or so and the first 30 minutes were some weird on stage ceremony with fireworks and shit and I said fuck it.
West coast makes it a little more manageable, but I never make it to the end.

It's not so bad for me, it's like 1-4 am or something. It's more the length of the broadcast and all the filler that kills me. Also listening to The Voice for that long is just not possible.

WTF no Tokoro?
Hideo Tokoro vs. Yusup Saadulaev (bantamweight grand-prix reserve match)
Lost to Banuelos (?!) in the opening round. I don't think the card is complete yet either...
The guy who beat him, Nagashima, is doing another one of those "mixed rules bouts" on this card haha.

It's too bad we don't get to see him put Alvarez in a heel hook again.
Dynamite/NYE events are always some of the best events in MMA.

damn Bones only gets $70,000 a fight? Time to re-negotiate.
Well, Brittney was on this card so Bones will probably get a nice PPV bonus.

Do you think Bones just drops Britney after she orgasms?
I can't even respond to these shenanigans.

"Godamnit Jon go check on her, get some fans!"
great fighter but he's not that big of a draw yet.
maybe a rashad/jbj card can get enough heat to do around 800k to 1m ppv buys. ufc 140 will probably be a 400k affair. Dana needs to do a better job promoting and creating his new stars. if dana was smart he should throw some serious muscle behind his next title fight and put it on fox, especially coming off his FOTY 2011 campaign.
ItAintEasyBeinCheesy
it's 4th of July in my asshole
Is he based in the US or Korea, for 5k would it even be worth it or does the UFC pay for travel etc.
The rumor is his Bentley is from the UFC after he flew in to Vegas to renegotiate.
Yeah. I don't think the numbers for UFC 140 will be huge, but there will be a trickle down effect for his next fight. The word of mouth from "Did you see what Jon Jones did to Machida?" will pay off next time around. JBJ vs. Rashad would be huge.
I thought word of mouth would do wonders for Edgar/Maynard 3 but it did worse than UFC 125 with a better card surrounding it.

Bones just said he will be at the Rio card. Not fighting but sitting ringside.
