Yeah pretty sure. That's how they've wrapped up GPs in the past.

I'm really gonna try to stay up for this one. It looks like there will barely be any MMA before they hit intermission, though. That's usually where I knock out.

Anyone else gonna stay up for the Super Bowl of The Bad MMA?

How many intermissions are there and how long are they? I'll try to watch some of it and record the rest. HDNET set 9 hours aside for it.

 

[Chamber]

Is Boogie still around?

He's in hibernation until GSP returns. Not a bad idea.

 

[ShaneB]

Watching the 141 countdown, and it reaffirms how much I love Cowboy. Blue collar ass kicker , can't wait to see him smash Diaz.

I always try, but rarely make it all the way.

 

[alr1ght]

DVRs ladies. 9 hours of Bad MMA with commercials+intermission = death.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Not gonna happen

Cowboy is going to kick his ass.

 

[Chamber]

I hope the arena lights above the cage fall on both Cowboy and Diaz.

 

[The Internet]

Wow, did TSN really put a lifesize cutout of Silva in the interview room for Sonnen? No wonder he was pissed from the get go.

 

[alr1ght]

Anderson Silva is the best thing to happen to Chael.

9 hours?! I won't even attempt that, haha. Usually just one around 30 minutes I think, but who knows for that card.

 

[alr1ght]

all the fights have super long intro vids too. I wouldn't watch it if I couldn't skip all the extraneous shit.

 

[Chamber]

Bust out the 5 hour energy. We got this Heel.

Maybe I'll follow in the footsteps of Brock and take a power nap between UFC and DREAM. Except mine would be voluntary.

Pretty much this, but I do think Cowboy is gonna kick his ass.

 

[parrotbeak]

Josh actually carried Timmy to one hell of a match and made Timmy look more dangerous than we know he really is.

JLB is no Josh though.

Wow, Timmy just gives him that arm bar. Kinda diminishes Fedor's sub over him.

Well seeing a Diaz get molested is a pretty good substitute.

Our favorite Uncle has released another video blog. Don't be a dumbass like me and have headphones on at the 6:40 mark though.

Why does Dana call him "Ala-STAR Overeem" is this an American thing?

no, it's a Dana thing

Happy holidays to the MMA gaf. Ariel Helwani's best of 2011 video compilation is up, almost an hour of footage:

Really good stuff.

His interviews with Rampage are classic.

 

[Maklershed]

Unfortunately I think I'll have to skip the Dream event this year. 9 hours is too much and is sure to wipe my dvr clean. And all I'm interested in will prob only be about 30 minutes of mma. Basically I just wanna see how Aokie manages to cheat (or have the refs do it for him) this time around and the Fedor fight.

Also I was all excited to get Lesnar vs Overeem this weekend but found its at 10pm on a Friday. After getting up at 4:55am and working all day I'm not sure I can stay awake for that.

[yacobod]

so there's at least 4 worked fights on that card, and i suspect at least half of the real fights will be worked as well. what a dubious and silly card.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

It's a Southie from Boston thing maybe.

Don't you mean 5? Four pro-wrestling and the Aoki fight.

 

[sazabirules]

Aoki is going to neck crank The Catch Wrestling Koala Bear. I thought Heavy Metal was a bad nickname...

 

[Maklershed]

Heavy Metal probably wouldnt be so bad for a guy that can actually fight. Clay "Heavy Metal" Guida sounds a lot cooler than Clay "Heavy Metal" Harvison.

hahaha Have you guys seen this thread? Amazing.

17-year-old "kid" (has ID proof on page 3).

 

[TheKaeptain]

THAT IS THE BIGGEST 17 YEAR OLD I HAVE EVER SEEN!

 

[yacobod]

i seen that on sherdog a few months ago, no way is that guy 17. if he is, i hope he has a football scholarship lined up, because that would be a tragic waste of that kind of natural size. dude could be a DL or OL easy.

 

[Chamber]

6'5", 260 in high school?!

If that dude isn't into football, he has failed at life.

Even better he is in mma.

 

[TheKaeptain]

He needs to be in Football.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Yeah, isn't he on an upcoming Strikeforce card next month? lol

 

[Chamber]

If I were his size at age 17, I wouldn't even be thinking about MMA. Probably be on my way to some top flight school as a DE/OLB.

 

[parrotbeak]

That's why hw mma sucks.

 

[Chamber]

That's why hw mma sucks.

Yeah, the money and opportunities are just far greater in other sports. I love mma but as an elite heavyweight sized athlete, no way.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

The shops in that thread are hilarious:

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Some people get all the fucking luck.

Maybe he should be an MMA journalist, buck the trend and all that.

 

[parrotbeak]

Luckily 17 year olds often don't understand that shit and are growing up on UFC, so hopefully that will change soon.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Holy crap that kid is a monster.

 

[Balehead]

Just a couple of tattoos and he's all set for an MMA debut! That kid is so going the be the new breed.
