[polyh3dron]

That voting thing sucks for the Unaired prelim fighters

 

[Bishman]

I'm late but here is my picks:

St. Pierre vs. Koscheck
McCorkle vs. Struve
Miller vs. Olivera
Stevenson vs. Danzig
Alves vs. Howard
Bocek vs. Hazelett
Doerkson vs. Miller
Almeida vs. Grant

Where exactly did the notion of Thiago being a world class striker come from?

Yeah Pablo Garza got ko of the night last week.

 

[NomarTyme]

Alves! wow!

[smurfx]

great round.

 

[NomarTyme]

Alves with the very effective kicks.

 

[Bishman]

Alves is a beast!

ATT!

 

[Beardz]

That kick :O

really?

Fucking Goldberg..sometimes it amazes me, sometimes it just pisses me off. How is he able to not stop doing a f'ing promo during an Alves slam? I swear, GSP could be applying a RNC to Koscheck and that guy wouldn't slow down his UFC 125 promo whatsoever.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Lol, ground

It really is sad that he has to cram that garbage in..

 

[Host Samurai]

Wow this has to be one of the worst cards in recent memory.

He even brought back baseball bat leg kick analogy in the first round

You're crazy.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Rogan must hate those promos, Goldburg is unstoppable once he goes on one.

 

[dream]

really?

Really. Beating up on a Marvin Eastman Jr. who has no lateral movement is pretty much the equivalent of a sparring session.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Alves is looking really good in this fight. Night and day compared to the Fitch fight.

Dude, 11 out of 17 of his wins are by ko or tko. Alves has always had great standup..

Edit: lol @ eastman jr. You have a point there!

 

[KiNeSiS]

Anywhere to get a good lamp these days.

 

[dem]

who in the ww division is better standing up than Alves...?

i mean come on.. just stop talking.

 

[Brinbe]

Domination

 

[NomarTyme]

Thiago! Excellent gameplan.

 

[Archaix]

Damn. If that fight finished with a decision, maybe we will be in for one of "those" nights.


edit: Not to complain, Alves looked great. I figured he would have been able to get a stop by the third round, impressed that Howard was able to move (relatively) as well as he was, given the punishment he took from the leg kicks.

 

[X26]

great fight to get things started

 

[polyh3dron]

Holy shit @ Thiago, that was nuts!

 

[TheKaeptain]

Good technical fight.

 

[EraldoCoil]

Great fight! Beautiful technique.

 

[Bishman]

Amazing performance by Alves!

 

[Rur0ni]

Good fight.

 

[m3k]

well that went longer than i thought it would

 

[dream]

who in the ww division is better standing up than Alves...?

Semtex, Nick Diaz, Noons, Bang, maybe even Spratt.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Really wish Paul Daley was still in the ufc so we could find out.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Good to see Alves putting it all together here.

 

[Archaix]

Semtex, Nick Diaz, Noons, Bang, maybe even Spratt.

What?

I mean...


What?

 

[NomarTyme]

Really wish Paul Daley was still in the ufc so we could find out.

Dana should give him a second chance.

 

[snack]

Alves just tore ship up in this biz.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Semtex, Nick Diaz, Noons, Bang, maybe even Spratt.

...no way are you serious.

 

[X26]

dem eyebrows

 

[dem]

please tell me you didnt mean bang.. like bang ludwig..

talk about overrated

 

[EraldoCoil]

Semtex, Nick Diaz, Noons, Bang, maybe even Spratt.

The fuck out of here....

Bang ludwig and pete Fucking spratt better?

The only one that would even be on par would be Daley, and id still give the edge to thiago. And im not even a Alves fan.

Don't let that fool you, 125 is STACKED

EDIT: the promo just made my case for me lol

 

[Bishman]

Semtex, Nick Diaz, Noons, Bang, maybe even Spratt.

Maybe Semtex. Alves vs Semtex would be sick.

Alves > Noons

Alves > Bang

Alves > Spratt

Alves > Nick Diaz

I like Nick Diaz but Alves would beat him.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Dana should give him a second chance.

See what happens if he keeps knockin peeps out in Strikeforce.

-kicks, Daley would have a huge advantage. But this is mma, Alves> Daley imo. Wish he was in the UFC.

 

[X26]

not expecting much from this fight, hoping for a stevenson loss though
