This is a more exciting fight I think. This card is looking awesome, but there is still time for it to be destroyed

Alex Emelianenko has been recycled retired.

I read that as 'Vince' and immediately clicked.
You think??? It's a million times better.. Mckenzie is a bum.

If Vince brought back Brawl 4 All and lured away all the scrappers and bangers that hate LNP he could wipe the UFC off the map.
Agreed. Bart Gunn would legit kill JDS.

And then Vince would give JDS' wife a lifetime contract to be a valet.
I don't think women can be va... oh.

I thought the Hobbit was kinda boring and I was falling asleep towards the end. I dunno how this is going to be 6 more hours.
Peter Jackson doesn't either. He's just making it up as he goes and adding bits of the book here and there.

Considering how long it took for me to watch the LotR trilogy in any great detail, I'm in no rush to see the Hobbit.
My favorite moment of his was when he fought James Thompson and it looked like he was bored out of his skull only to knock Thompson out in 11 secs. I think I had seen it before I fully understand what MMA was. I presume everyone else's favorite was the cro cop KO, lol.
Im probably gonna go see it friday.

Probably the way it looks like another Peter Jackson over indulgent shitshow?

Am I being trolled here? Dana White telling other people to be "more professional?"

Fuel made a pretty sweet "flashback" video for the most recent Fox card
Gustafsson took some pretty nasty shots in his fight

Was he really wearing a Fuel TV t-shirt when he gave this sage advice?
You know who still trains this way? BJ.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."
Oh noes! They're stepping on Star Movies toes!!11!
Fuck this digital distribution blocking bullshit.
But ontopic:
What arguably impressed me the most about Gus in that fight is how he played a good "tall guy" game. By that I mean, whenever Shogun got close, instead of doing the "Turtle Shuffle Onto Shields Street" like Stuve does when he gets put under pressure, he pushed Shogun away and GTFO. It showed good awareness and composure on Gus' part.
Rampage as well, no?
So do GSP and Rashad. Difference between GSP/Evans and guys like BJ and Shogun is that the former are paying top dollar to bring in top level coaches and sparring partners while the latter do shit like run around with rocks underwater and practice shitty leg locks in a basement somewhere in Brazil.
I think there are pros and cons with either style. I certainly don't always agree with the Jackson/AKA type of camp where you have 20-30 fighters all doing the same drills. What good is it doing Shane Carwin to ask him to spar with a welterweight who's 60 lbs lighter and 4-5 inches shorter than anyone he's fighting against?

Just got home from seeing Django Unchained and it was fuckawesome. There's a scene with 2 slaves scrapping like they literally have no employable skills to fall back on. Guard work and a nasty kimura.
Oh and UFC 155 OT should be ready tomorrow.

Shad's camp may have been initially focused around him but Blackzilians is pretty large and broad in scope now. I agree with your point though. This is one of the many things that did Fedor and Cro Cop in. Probably even Lesnar too. I wonder if training with a larger camp is what has kept Nog from completely dissolving.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Is being a slave by definition and employable skill....... well not employable, own-able.

Cody McKenzie is a step below Bruce Leroy and thats saying something. I always enjoy when a guy is good at one particular submission (ie Sass, Paul Harris) but they have to have the skills to get themselves in that position and McKenzie does not have it at a UFC level.
Did he manage to do it without dropping an f bomb?

I legit had a dream that BJ Penn fought Lyoto Machida and won by doing a backflip off the top of the cage onto Machida and knocking him out.

At 157?
Nice. Now I feel good buying a ticket because that's gonna be a scrap.
Card will be headlined by a Pierce/Hendricks rematch now. Thanks poly.

Mendes vs Gamburyan rumored for 157 as well. Sweet!
I loled at the mental image of this. BJ 'The Dragon' Steamboat.
Back in the day Penn really would fight anyone. I think his fight with Machida was at heavyweight haha

Goldy went ape shit too and then made a Randy Couture reference.

It's funny cuz the Dragon got finished with the Dragon's signature move.
I probably told this dream on here before but when Brock was still champ I dreamt BJ went up to hw to fight him. He just got tossed around and lost by decision.
I also dreamt that a new fighter used a big sword as his weapon and would cut the other fighter's heads off as his finishing move. Joe Stevenson almost got his sword away before getting cut in half. I remember thinking, wow, they need to make a rule against swords.

lol loving the thread title for 155.
You're making me blush.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being Death Proof and 10 being Inglorious Basterds/Your favourite QT movie, where would you put Django?

I know you're not asking me and I haven't seen it yet but a Tarantino western with Christoph Waltz has to be an 11.
