Machida should just face Mousasi. Two guys with some crazy styles who's hype train went off the rails. Of course, trying to keep this dead weight Strikeforce company up is more important that making fights like that.

And yeah, Dan should wait to face Jones really. He's old as fuck and no idea when Father Time will really kick in on him. It may have about Round 4 of the Shogun fight, because even though he rocked the fuck out of him, Dan was completely gassed as hell and almost got stopped from just being too tired to defend.

 

[Dysun]

He got submitted. So what?

Everybody against Jones ends up looking like it's all over. But Shogun went that extra mile didn't he? He was tapping on the floor, to strikes when it was all said and done.

So what, they both lost? What's your point? Machidas ass whooping > Shoguns ass whooping by JBJ? What does that prove?

I know this proves more than anything

I actually like Machida as a fighter too, but I dont see why you need to bash Shogun for tapping when they both ended up being Jon Jones highlights

At this point they need to give Machida someone he can easily beat. He's a good and generally pretty fun fighter but he needs another couple good wins.

I guess all top tier guys would be more exciting/devastating against inferior competition, but they're stuck fighting the best of the best. A lot of guys get tagged as mediocre/boring because of this. Rarely do we get a chance to see a guy fall completely from grace and get to crush a can.

Akiyama is a good example of a guy who would blow through someone on the bottom of the division if he gets another fight.

 

[WrikaWrek]

you still mad that he's lost 4 out of his last 5 fights?

You mean 3. Otherwise I can also say that, for me Machida won against Rampage.

 

[Heel]

I thought so too, but in retrospect even barely skirting by Rampage isn't all that impressive.

Bader vs. Machida?

 

[Chamber]

Machida ran from Page for 2 rounds. There is no argument.

Which I REALLY hope he is not cut. He might not win vs top contenders, but he is a solid fighter, good look and fun to watch. There is a reason why UFC sucks so much at building stars and why I find Franklin vs Cung Le a great fight...reminds me of Pride matchmaking. Not every fight needs to be about rankings. With the UFC putting on more cards than ever before there is no need to cut a guy like Akiyama or Cung Le.

Yeah, they still need to find that sweet spot when it comes to the entertainment part.

I would much rather see an Akiyama or Cung Le fight than a Rick Story or Court McGee fight any day.

Bellator 62: Eric Prindle awarded Bellator tournament win, $100k, title shot as Thiago Santos misses weight

You've got to be kidding me. Somewhere up in the snowy north Cole Konrad is doing an evil villain laugh. Santos would've beat them both.

 

[ShaneB]

You can say that for a lot of the weight classes.....

But I think it's a silly thing to say, just because the champ is in a class of their own, doesn't automatically discount the rest of the division from being solid enough to put on entertaining fights.

Spoiler

Get rid of the belts please.

Hopefully Prindle spends his money on a good English teacher.

But 11lbs overweight for a heavyweight fight? Santos has no excuses. I wonder what he would have weighed in at last week.

Yeah, no excuse for Santos. I'm just salty we're stuck with a Prindle vs. Konrad title fight. This blob's title reign will never end at this rate.

Just talked to Apple. You can purchase a new iPad from outside of Apple and still go to an Apple retail store to exchange for a new unit if you have any defects (dead pixels, yellowing, etc.) under their one year hardware warranty.

The 14 day refund and color/storage exchange policy is only for purchases directly from Apple. That would have to be done through who your purchased it from and be subject to their restocking fees.

So, online tax free iPad purchase and no worries about being stuck with a dud unit. iPad here I come!

didn't i tell you all this last night.

 

[Heel]

didn't i tell you all this last night.

Just needed to confirm it with another genius, my genius friend dream. Calling my local Apple store with the same question didn't leave me very confident that it was a good idea.

My $50 saved will go towards starting my collection of non-pirated casual games. We gonna get our multiplayer on, brah? My Draw Something skills are something to behold.

 

[parrotbeak]

Lower tech question, is there a cheaper way to get a usb power adaptor for my ipod than the $30 one at the Apple store?

 

[dream]

sien - yes, we will draw something.

parrot - just grab a cheap one from monoprice or something

Ninja Scooter - hi.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Ninja Scooter - hi.

So say there was this fighter, lets call him Drake Kiffin, and he was a real douchebag who whined and complained all the time and another fighter took a cheap shot at him in the middle of a match and put him in his place, that would be awesome. And that's all I have to say about that.


Also if Jon Jones was on TRT could he kill a guy? Preferably a former Pride fighter?

 

[Heel]

Ninja Scooter, don't go AWOL when NBA-GAF returns. This is your trolling safe haven!

sien - yes, we will draw something.

Deal.

I'm afraid it won't be anywhere near the same when it comes back. The fact that it's still locked is crazy in itself. People will be walking on eggshells in there.

It can be fun here too. I like when a guy threatened to punch me in the face for trolling Fedor.

The worst part is I can't even disagree about Drake Kiffin deserving the elbow to the face.

Cool, thanks, the monoprice reviews are good and it's only $7.

The ones on Amazon are like $2 but full of 1 star reviews saying they are fake and don't work. One apparently has a painted on green power light.

Forgot to list the Glory World Series event. Added it to the schedule a few posts up. Great card on the kickboxing side. Found a Russian stream but not sure if it's official or pirated.

 

[TheNatural]

Ubereem vs. Dos Santos early Presser at 6:00. Dunno if it's streamed or not, but there's something for the MMA lull.

 

[TheNatural]

Also, today is Top 10 Mark Hunt's 38th birthday. Not even in his prime yet!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Future HW Champ Mark Hunt should fight Future HW Champ Chad Grigg's if they both win or both loose at the UFC 146: Gassed.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

The UFC is saving that fight for a future title bout or title eliminator, like when they built Cain and JDS separate. There is nothing that will stop the rampaging path of those two juggernauts.
