Just looked at the FX card. Yikes.

The prelims for UFC on FOX 2 are better than the main card for the FX Card.

EDIT: Even the Fuel card is better.

 

[Heel]

That's the problem though. I can make excuses for A level fighters stalemating A level fighters. Sometimes I like it when A level fighters destroy C level fighters. But Strikefarce is now having C level fighters stalemate other C level fighters and it hurts our souls to watch that shit.

This, my friend, is why ProElite is the new Strikeforce. Rich Chou, the old Strikeforce matchmaker, is now booking scraps on the big island.

did everyone forget Luke the Rock vs Jardine?

Haha, true enough. I remember some of the betting lines from the old Strikeforce cards being over -1000.

Longest wait between the main event and a press conference? In my mind Aldo and Dana are doing lines of coke as we wait for it to start.

 

[BigJonsson]

I will refer to my tweet from earlier

BigJonsson

Sorry #tebow, jesus is with #barboza tonight #ufcrio


I liked that even with all the fast finishes they didn't bother with much filler, guess they took the local time in Rio into consideration

 

[Chamber]

How is there no gif of that Aldo knee yet? You know the shit is going right in the OP for Aldo's next fight.

I think I agree with you. D level pro fighters vs drunken bar fighters is always fun to watch.

aldo grabbing the fence to avoid the takedown and coming back shortly there after to finish the fight was very fedor-esque ala the fedor/linland fight.

UFC RIO: Aldo vs Mendes Post-fight Press Conference

[BigJonsson]

Shit, I wish one of my Portuguese friends was here

 

[Heel]

It sounds like they have a translator but she isn't turned up loud enough.

aldo grabbing the fence to avoid the takedown and coming back shortly there after to finish the fight was very fedor-esque ala the fedor/linland fight.

Mendes being semi-conscious and being saved by the ref was also ver fedor-esque ala the fedor/hendo fight.

 

[Fifty]

This press conference is terrible for english speakers. The translator is translating live but it is broadcast at 1/4 the volume of the Portuguese.

 

[BigJonsson]

Everyone tweet @ufc maybe they can boost the volume


Of course the Portu translation is loud as fuck

 

[LowEndTorque]

when you watch the gif of the Barbosa KO you can clearly see Etim bracing for what he thought would be another spinning back kick to the gut. But nope, heel to head and lights out. Very nicely done by Edson if he intentionally set it up that way.

 

[parasight]

 

[yacobod]

i hope aldo's next match is a squash match with hioki. it would be pride quality, maybe we could convince hioki to wear a mask in the cage.

 

[BigJonsson]

Dammit, Dana is speaking and all I can hear is the damn translation

 

[ToxicAdam]

Damn, I skipped this card. Missed some tremendous finishes. :/

 

[Fifty]

This press conference is a fucking joke. They should have a website for Brazilians and a website for English-speakers. Dana's answers are muted by the translator and the translator's volume is muted by the Portuguese speakers. Oh well, the Brazilian crowd killed it and they can have this special treatment tonight.

 

[Chamber]

So there's no point in watching the presser I guess. Portuguese translator is talking over Dana for fucks sake.

The funny thing is they do have a Brazilian website. Would be a good time to use it.

Ugh, they should have just not gave a FOTN and given Aldo co-KOTN

how can anyone hate Overeem?

Jhn Anik backstage...where's Ariel?

I didn't know Overreem was that big in 2003.

Fuel is a good channel. I don't know why more people don't have it. Is it a tier or something? Because on DirectTV, I just get it.

You have a Dish. From what I can gather, Verizon is the only cable provider that even offers it.

 

[Balehead]

Vitor is crying and everything and I don't understand a word.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

They just showed the FightMetric on the Postfight Show. Wow. Mendez was beating Aldo in every category (except TDD, of course.)

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Time-Warner and AT&T U-verse both have it in Dallas. It's on the "Cable Sports Pass" on TWC, so it costs like $5.

A fine example of why FightMetric is pointless. Mendes was losing the round.

Mostly agree. It's good to see when someone is obviously dominant in scoring, to see just how dominant in scoring they were.

Yes, similar to the way Werdum was "outstriking" Overeem.

 

[yacobod]

Ufc 143 and ufc japan are gonna be fun. Good start for the year.

It's nice for stats and all, but most people just use it to try to prove someone was robbed. Numbers don't tell the whole story.

 

[Platy]

Saw this fight totaly by accident .. so ... awesome !

Why so many low blows ?

and :

FASHION RIO !

That was painfull ... but i laughed out loud of how he fell .... and then i feel bad about it =x

This song makes me picture the Burnout Paradise title screen.

Totaly ! Me too

I love how the judge enters in front of the face in the exact moment of the punch ... it looks like that Sin City punch where he only stops when feels that he is punching the floor xD

------------------------

Also,while in my HUGE knowledge of ufc says to me that it wasn't a reason to disqualify, i found it hilarious how Erick said something along the lines of "I really didn't meant, but those punches connected ...." and the translator translated something like "I really didn't meant, and those punches were not even close"

And .. my curiosity ... how the international gaf people know Vitor's wife ?
Because she was pretty famous before marring him as one of those girls who are famous just for being hot

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Whoever is in charge of the audio levels of the post fight presser should be demoted to Strikeforce with Rumble as well.

 

[yacobod]

I wonder if training with maynard will embolden aldo to move up to 155.
