If Anderson came out dressed like that for his second ass beating at the hands of Sonnen I would root for him.

TIGER!

If you want to crush cans in Japan, there is only one man to call:

 

[polyh3dron]

1. Why would BJ care if it's 3 or 5 rounds when he only needs 2 to dispose Nasty Nick?

2. BJ went 10 rounds with the #2 P4P fighter in the world. His gas tank is fine.

Not 10 rounds, I distinctly remember BJ's corner throwing in the towel.

 

[Dysun]

Was hoping to see a fluke GSP KTFOd by Condit. Oh well

BJ/Diaz was the best fight since they announced it anyhow...

Brett Rogers is American.

Haha, he actually got Chael to dicktuck after trying to get him to admit he submitted.

 

[yacobod]

steroids are fine. i rather there be open use of steroids, then these guys pretending they are clean in the current system. another thing that was better in Pride.

 

[parasight]

Surprise, surprise. Nick Diaz no show on the conference call.

 

[Chamber]

Update 2:45 p.m.: Nick Diaz is on the line

Nick Diaz: I didn't even know about a call. I woke up, my phone was dead and my brother told me that I was supposed to be on the call. I didn't get any notice. I didn't hear anything about it until about fifteen minutes ago.

Oh Nicky...

 

[TheKaeptain]

He needs to lay off the weed.

 

[VASPER]

He needs to lay off the weed.

He need to play the GAME!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

RIP Nick Diaz' phone.

 

[tass0]

You're right. He also beat a lot of American cans, like:

He has more Top 10 wins than the best three Heavyweights in the UFC combined.

Based on who's rankings? Campbell's?

 

[DKehoe]

One of the things about Penn/Diaz that I found interesting (aside from it being an awesome match up) is to see if Nick could restrain himself from putting his hands up and calling his opponent bitch. If BJ turns down the fight being made into a 5 rounder the odds of that happening go up.

 

[alr1ght]

I wonder what the dicksucking OT for 137 has morphed into...

Penn said he is down for five rounds but wants to be compasated for it.

Based on pretty much the rankings of any notable MMA fan, or website.

The guy was ranked #1 for what, 7 years?

I don't care how new you are to MMA, if you don't consider him at the very -least- one of the greatest HWs in MMA's current history, then you're just trollin' or ignorant.

Probably some bullshit about fighters and scrappers.

We've already established that Cain Velasquez is the #1 HW in MMA history.

Don't get ahead of yourself. His legacy isn't cemented until he defeats #2 HW in MMA history Junior Dos Santos.

Basically this, at least until Jon Jones gains 15 lbs.

I was gonna call dibs on making the thread but I want to nominate yaco now for lulz and unfettered Penn fanboyism

It no longer deserves me putting time into doing custom graphic shit

A progression of the 3 different posters would be a good start

 

[tass0]

I think he was trolling.

Cain has 9 total fights, and what, two Top 10 wins? three, tops.

I think 90% of the posts in this thread are trolling/semi-serious. It's what makes this thread so entertaining.

 

[thirty]

so which 137 under card fight got moved up? please say Brandon Vera vs Elliot Marshall.

 

[alr1ght]

Brad Tavares vs. Dustin Jacoby is now on the main card.

Vera can't even get on the Spike undercard

 

[parrotbeak]

Idk who Elliot Marshall is but Vera doesn't belong on main card.

 

[thirty]

he might get fired but at least Vera owns his own gym now where people can pay to beat up on him.

He thinks Diaz is going to win.

 

[Maklershed]

TUF guy. He was good on the show but hasn't been able to really get it together since then. Oddly enough I always thought him and Vera are some of the best examples of guys that should have much better records than they do.

Also Diaz beats Penn via decision. Calling it now.

TAVARES vs. JACOBY

$500 for a good seat to this shit, lol

As do I, doesn't make me any less of a Penn fan.

I too have Diaz by close decision.

 

[sazabirules]

Cowboy vs Siver should have been moved to the main card. Do you guys think Hioki could actually succeed in the UFC or be like his fellow Japanese brethren?

Nope, Hioki's gonna get Roop'd

Sengoku champs suck, just look at Santiago

 

[parrotbeak]

Penn gases when he's against bigger wrestlers. Diaz isn't going to be taking him down. I think Penn wins a decision. Unless it changes to 5 rds, then that changes things a lot.

Still I demand UFC acquires Bibiano Fernandes

He's a (former) DREAM champ, that's different. He'd be a damn good addition to the BW division and Takaya would be as well.

Takaya came over and lost to Peralta on a Strikeforce undercard.

Bibiano at 135 in the UFC would be great.

I think Hioki actually has the skillset for some success in the UFC. His fight against Sandro was masterful.

 

[Chamber]

Hioki tooled Hominick twice. He's going to be just fine.

i was going to make the OT for 137 to spite boogie, but now i could potentially make one for the true main event and for what could be mma legend mirko crocop final fight in the ufc.

and as much as i like BJ, i might be picking Nick to win for some crazy reason.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Yaco's bought into the bs Diaz says about himself. BJ is going to wrestle him and GnP him in the third.

 

[dream]

yup. yaco and I had a plan that dates back many months but St. Pierre's possible steroid induced injury ruined it all. ):

 

[Chamber]

UFC 136 did 250k in buys according to Dave Meltzer. That's fucking shitty for the best card of the year.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

People (stupids) don't like lighter divisions??

 

[Plywood]

Casuals.

 

[Chamber]

People (stupids) don't like lighter divisions??

That's part of it but Cruz/Faber did 375k.

I think it's oversaturation at this point. Two weeks after 135 and three weeks before 137. Jones/Rampage and GSP/Conduit are probably more appealing for casuals than Edgar/Maynard.
