Crocop winning by LHK would be my number 1 moment in mma this year barely edging out Diaz/Daley round 1. Rounding out the top 5 would be frankie tkoing maynard. Tito subbing Bader and unleashing the grave digger from hell. And Chael's legendary promo on Anderson Silva.

Honorable mentions:
Silva's KO of Vitor.
Nog's KO of Schaub.

I thought this was interesting. The Observer did a poll asking why their subscribers didn't buy UFC 136 on PPV:

If you are a frequent UFC PPV buyer and didn't order UFC 136, what was the main reason?
Watched it on an illegal stream 29.1%
Had other plans that night 16.5%
Didn't like the lineup 12.6%
Didn't feel the show had enough stars 11.0%
Two weeks since the last show I bought 8.7%
Went to a bar to see it 7.9%
Don't want to see shows with small guys headlining 7.1%
Not interested in Edgar vs. Maynard as a main event 3.9%
Watched with friends who bought it 3.1%

What are your reasons?

 

[TheKaeptain]

I went to buffalo wild wings.

 

[polyh3dron]

I was in Canada, went to a bar. Ordered the previous two at home though.

God damn @ the number of illegal streamers.

Most of the people buying UFC events don't subscribe to the Observer or post on Sherdog/etc.

Good list, the only thing I would add is Hendo KOing Fedor.

Was the poll done on Sherdog though?

I'd think something like the Observer would be neutral enough to get a good sampling.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Dave meltzer is neutral, he is a rollie pollie. And we purchase all UFC ppvs as a family because they have compelling storylines and new stars like Chael Sonnen and Machida.

Watching him beat MVP last night was amazing. So cool that Slayers is partnered with EG now!

 

[thefro]

UFC has signed Olympic gold medal freestyle wrestler Khadjimourat Gatsalov

-Dominated Cormier in the Olympics
-BJJ black belt
-Sambo backround
-Fighting at 185

Promising credentials, but heading straight to the UFC with a record of 0-0 is pretty crazy. But hey, Lesnar only had one fight. Let's see what this kid can do.

Confirmed BOGUS by Big Dave Meltzer:

--If you read a story that Khadimourat Gatsalov, a former Olympic gold medalist, signing with UFC, Dana White said the story is false.

I think you might have made a wrong turn.

 

[Heel]

Anyone else going to watch Bellator tonight? Prelims just started. First time I'm catching it live in a long while.

Hoping Wiuff beats M'Pumbu in their "super fight".

Confirmed BOGUS by Big Dave Meltzer:

Yeah, mentioned it was debunked earlier in the thread. I wonder if there's any truth to him wanting to start an MMA career. Would be interesting to see.

 

[Chamber]

Fuck it, I'll watch. Haven't seen a Bellator card in awhile and we might see one of their champions blown up in a "superfight."

 

[Heel]

Hmmm...Bellator, maybe picking an outdoor venue in Yuma wasn't the brightest idea. It's 100 degrees right now.

Jim Miller really let himself go.

Andy from the Office in 10 years + White Kimbo.

 

[yacobod]

Honestly, I think Brock will win pretty easily. I think we’re going to see the closest thing to a grappler versus striker match you’ll see nowadays. Brock is going to cover up; maybe throw one jab. He’ll rush Overeem to the cage, reach down for a leg and rip him down.... I don’t think he’s going to get off his back. I’d be very shocked -- I’d applaud Overeem if he got off his back.

Frank knows whats up.

Don't worry yacobud, we'll be brainstorming ideas for your new avatar in due time.

i can't wait. i might turn avatars back on so i can live in shame. i turned off avatars a while back. website is more inconspicuous browsing at work now w/out all the lame animu and pony avatars and other embarrassing crap.

Hahaha. Could someone put together an avatar of animu GSP riding a pony? Thanks!

 

[TheKaeptain]

Frank also said he would beat Brock during the first round of the second match.

 

[yacobod]

Frank also said he would beat Brock during the first round of the second match.

Frank's also accomplished a lot more in mma than fraudreem.

 

[TheKaeptain]

That isn't the point. The point is he has said a lot of things.

i'd pick carwin and mir over reem too. big deal. i can post like 7 different gifs of reem being tkod.

 

[yacobod]

off topic but i can't believe nbc didn't make a better push for the UFC. i just saw a fucking bull riding commercial during a break of the usc notre dame game. i mean they couldn't use the help to bring in young viewers? they don't have shit besides nfl on sunday night and ND football.

they really dropped the ball. it would have been nice because they have the best broadcast HD feed by far.

I wish yaco would show more respect for the future UFC Heavyweight Champion.

are all the good ufc heavyweights going to be on the same airplane when it crashes leaving a huge void in the division for overeem to fill?

Do it.

 

[TheKaeptain]

A picture of a pony with a GSP tat would be funnier.

Honestly though, what did you expect someone as smug as Frank to say?

"Overeem will not suffer the same fate as me. He is a better mixed martial artist and will knock out Brock."

 

[Chamber]

I'd use that if it didn't have a pony on it.

On second thought, everyone already thinks I'm Canadian.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol I remember that being brutal, but not for that long. WTF was the ref thinking?

 

[yacobod]

a non shopped pic of gsp in his pajamas would be sad enough.

 

[alr1ght]

wtf is this

 

[Heel]

Hahaha. Let the games begin.

More Overeem. More GSP. More wrestling!

 

[TheKaeptain]

This should some how be in his avatar. Just the face he is making.

a pink popped up collar? Hey GSP 2003 called, it wants it's douchy trends back.

Overeem licking his chops at a pony would be a great avatar. Not cruel enough though.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Guys, he is Canadian. They're several years behind when it comes to trends.
