lol mayhem by sub

Hard to get a sub when you're getting jabbed for 15 minutes.

 

[SteveWD40]

Anti-Brit GAF loves the MMA threads, Bisping is a dick but a competent one and Mayhem has nothing for him, some people pick based on what they want to happen rather than logic.

He will still get killed by most of the top 5 MW's but Mayhem is just a gimme for him.

I found it interesting that they started using the same high speed cameras that Strikeforce has always used to get that ultra stylized slow motion footage.

Also, seeing Mandalay Bay all set up for a big UFC show but completely empty was pretty cool too.

strikeforce probably nothing to do with it, was probably all cbs/showtime.

regardless, just so glad to see the ufc get out of the dark ages, production wise.

MEGATON: Kimbo Slice vs. Dada 5000 on January 12th 2012

 

[polyh3dron]

aaaaaaahahahahahaha

 

[TheKaeptain]

Lol

 

[SUPREME1]

01/12/12... RESERVED.

 

[Maklershed]

Just saw the TUF14 premiere. A lot of good fights and some nice prospects. My prediction for the winner (or at least someone that will be in the UFC one day):

From what little I saw he seemed to be the most well rounded. Nice striking, nice wrestling, good cardio, tons of heart.

Also kudos to mah boy Dennis Bermudez making in to the house.

 

[polyh3dron]

TJ Dillashaw?

that dude is way too reckless, his hands were down the whole time and he ate some good shots. put him in there with a top guy he gets KTFO'd easy.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Damn, on sherdog pros picks, everybody picks Jones to win (37-4).

Nobody believes in Rampage anymore.

 

[Maklershed]

My prediction stands!

BTW - can we have a TUF14 thread so we can discuss mma news here without being spoiled? I would do it but I wouldn't have the diligence to make it pretty or keep it updated.

I might be a little biased from Norcal, but I'm with you. His strength is his wrestling which wasn't even on display.

Dodson and Brimage looked great too.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

I pick the Brazilian Diego Brandao ftw.

Yup.

A lot of those alpha male guys like to do the hands down wide striking and they pay for it pretty often against people that know how to box.

Just checking the schedule and its a good weekend for MMA. We got Titan Fights, Dream 17, Strikeforce Challengers 19, and UFC 135.

Rampage and Jones on Sports Center

Cant wait for this thing to go down Im a Rampage fan for life and although hes not as dynamic as he used to be no one should count him out because hes a proven fighter and a proven champ.

WAR RAMPAGE!!

 

[polyh3dron]

SF Challengers, DREAM, UFC and K-1 for me.

 

[Chamber]

Oh lawd, there's K-1 this weekend too?

The site above is in Portuguese, pretty much says the UFC is close to getting a deal to bringing the UFC to Sao Paulo, possibly Morumbi stadium in 2012. Manaus is also talked about and Fertitta wants to bring TUF to Brazil, possibly in Sao Paulo, in 2012.

Aww damn it, I tuned in too late to see Rodgers embarrass himself. Oh well I'll settle for Varner embarassing himself.

lulz Jamie Varner

top 10 heavyweight grim loses to mirko's first sacrificial lamb in the ufc eddie sanchez.

and jamie varner was looking like evan tanner while he got beat up by some guy.

how the mighty have fallen.

Fell asleep after Titan, just woke up without an alarm (a big victory already!). Who else is watching DREAM live?

VTR is starting!

 

[Heel]

I'm gonna try to stay up but I never make it to the end, haha.

This might be the smallest crowd I've ever seen at DREAM. One of the better cards in a while too. Not good...

 

[bone_and_sinew]

For me the big test is the intermission. If I can make it through that, I'm good. I want to watch this in its entirety, then Manchester City-Everton immediately after, then sleep after the game is over throughout the afternoon until 5 or 6ish

edit: ONE MINUTE IN HEAVEN

WAR MINOWAMAN! SUPER HLUK CHAMP!
