When you see a guy getting triangles that easy, you know eventually, on of them is gonna get sunk.

I didn't see TUF 12 but I think Bruce Cacares is pretty nifty. Was his last fight the one where he destroyed his opponent's balls?
Pristine: See Guida/Pettis for the hideous exception.

LOL. Yeah, but didn't think I had to state the obvious--like controlling a guy's posture/escape opportunities. I still can't figure out how Pettis managed to make it through all those BJJ classes without one of the cardinal rules of finishing with that choke sinking in. Guida's a powerful guy, but Pettis wasn't even trying to cut off his escape plans.
Cacares on the other hand, was doing everything you like to see. Even when he missed, he was actively trying to hook his opponent's pushing leg, trying to control the posture, ect.

I hate when a ref tells the fighters to "stop on the horn" before the end of the round. It almost always kills the action.

Chris Weidman has impressed me.
Munoz got demolished.

I thought of him as over-hyped before, but his performance today was fantastic. Dude just straight steamrolled Munoz and finished him in devastating fashion.

Like a machine! dominated the whole fight out wrestling like it was Munoz's first day on the mat..then as Munoz came in for a strike and he elbow struck him across the face and knocked him out then pummeled his head into the the mat.

Well Weidman did call out Anderson during his post fight interview.

no doubt at all..
What's not to like?
I would like to point out that Chamber and I have believed in Chris "Requiescat in Pace!" Weidman for some time now. In fact, if you look at the first page of this very thread you will see that Chamber had picked Weidman to be champion by the time this thread ends.
We will have the last laugh, friend.

Unlike Chael this All-American guy can actually do damage when he is on top.
Very impressive. Now he needs to work on his mic skills.
You mean the fight that he took on two weeks notice, and still won easily?
Took the fight on 11 days notice.
A simple search for "Weidman" has been very eye opening, friend. It's almost as if I actually believe he's a freak talent who is the real deal.
I'm sorry that I think there are mortals on this earth that can beat the demigod known as Anderson. It's called an opinion, of which mine is often wrong. Just because it's in the minority doesn't mean it's trolling. I actually believe he can beat him.
Natch and his merry men, can you handle that?

As I proclaimed in nerd chat, I didn't buy the Chael hype, and I didn't see tonight's fight yet, but just based on the comments made, I'm totally on the Waidmann war wagon.
Go Matt Waidmann!
Go Matt Waidmann!
Yes? Its not like the result was controversial, Weidman clearly outfought Maia despite the boringness of the fight.
Silva didn't look particularly great against Demian either. Other than dancing around like a jackass he didn't really do much in that fight.

Oh Dana talked about TUF Brazil in this interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdfh2T3lGKI&feature=em-subs_digest
He said the reason it sucked was because the TUF guys were huge celebrities in Brazil and they were partying right up to the ppv, not taking it seriously cuz they thought they had made it already. That's why Dana didn't do any publicity cuz he was too pissed.

Weidman is a more composed, smarter, and younger version of Sonnen. Oh and while his striking is suspect he can do some pretty nifty things standing, apperantly.
Has G-Sot moved down to FW as well then? or has Pearson moved back up after he got Cub stomped?
I like both those guys however, decent fighters, both gatekeepers really.

Dunno, probably be catch weight maybe. We got no other "real" big names beside G-Sot so he's the obvious choice, just up to Danga to find someone decent from the UK close to his weight.
They were always talked about to be fighting each other a while back to be fair, Ross wanted that fight when G-Sot was nearing title contention.
I think Ross should have stayed at LW anyway, he got robbed against Barboza, out-boxed him and closed range so well. His only "bad" loss at LW was Miller and he broke his foot and did his knee in in the first round to be fair to him.

It'll be a good fight no doubt, G-Sot vs Paul Sass....... oh my, do want.
