Awesome card

 

[Godslay]

what a crappy stoppage.

Mir was finished.

 

[Master Thespian]

love this guy mang

 

[Deadbeat]

How can you not love JDS?

 

[BigKaboom2]

Basically JDS won because he ran away instead of trying to finish Mir, and Mir couldn't figure out where he had gone to...so he rolled the wrong way and Herb decided he must be out of it and stopped it, even though as soon as he got hit he started defending himself again. Bizarre.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

"Hey everybody! Look at me!!! I'm a nice guy!"

...asshole.

 

[Zeliard]

Mir's wife will console him quite effectively, I'm sure. That's a woman right there.

 

[MrToughPants]

Awesome card

Terrible card.

 

[saelz8]

JDS is always happy.

 

[ldcommando]

Awesomest card
Now imagine how good it would be if overeem didnt get busted.

 

[Arment]

"Hey everybody! Look at me!!! I'm a nice guy!"

...asshole.

That's because that is what everyone says about him. He's referring to it, not claiming it.

 

[op_ivy]

"man this guy can take a punch! my hand is hurt."

lmao

 

[jett]

LOL at Mir. That was sad.

Really great night overall, awesome knockouts, no bullshit.

 

[Fifty]

Mir had no chance standing so why did he go for one takedown all fight? That was dumb.

 

[Reg]

i think he likes those kids a little too much

 

[Donthizz#]

Your welcome JDS..he he

Mir was looking to grab him and missed so it looked like he fell over dazed/confused maybe?

That is what I thought too. Maybe I'm wrong he still stayed on the ground for a bit after the stoppage.

 

[Kreunt]

murr thought he was still rolling around with big nog

 

[Arment]

Get out of here with this shit.

UFC HEROES

 

[Chamber]

Terrible card.

Too many people confusing good fights with good finishes.

Mir was finished.

"My hand is hurt" is code for, "I'm going to stall as long as possible to keep crazy bloodlust Cain Velasquez the hell away from me. I'm scared as shit."

 

[TrumanBurbank]

How come they never show or mention JDS's wife? Does he have kids?

 

[op_ivy]

r u mad?

 

[Pristine_Condition]

r u mad?

Nope. Just not fooled.

 

[Arment]

r u mad?

He's finding every excuse to hate on JDS.

 

[Plywood]

Awesome card

THE MOST EXCITING DIVISION

 

[Andiie]

Lol at the haters.

Great night of fights tonight. One of the better cards in a while.

 

[Kreunt]

"My hand is hurt" is code for, "I'm going to stall as long as possible to keep crazy bloodlust Cain Velasquez the hell away from me. I'm scared as shit."

he probably wouldnt have even seen that fight

 

[tass0]

I would sleep happy if it wasn't for the fact that Bigfoot got merked.

Shit.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Nope. Just not fooled.

I think it was more of him trying to give Mir a compliment in some form, in a fight which Mir did nothing but be a punching bag.

 

[Godslay]

what he said.

He was already dead before the fight started...

 

[op_ivy]

Nope. Just not fooled.

ok. i think after watching him coach TUF that season, its safe to say he really is a good guy, but whatever.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

he probably wouldnt have even seen that fight

You don't think he heard the result? You don't think he saw that Jackson Pollock painting in blood on the floor of the cage? It looked like a murder scene.

 

[Spinning Plates]

I think this is the last time Mir will ever face a top, top fighter in the UFC again. I don't think he would last longer than 3 minutes against Cain or Overeem. He is kinda like the Rich Franklin of the HW division now to me.

There's still interesting fights out there for him though like Bigfoot, Werdum and Barnett would be a good opponent to go out on.

 

[TheNatural]

Shit.

2 of 3 now. Must have been a hell of a bum he beat to get a TKO.

There's still good fights out there for him before he retires though..

Mir vs Bigfoot
Mir vs Werdum
Mir vs Barnett

Clearly, he's in decline. That's why the UFC hand-picked him for JDS while they are running the mid-80s style Hulk Hogan P.R. treatment on him. It was a safe bet he'd K.O. Mir, since Mir has never been a takedown guy, and JDS has good TDD.

Hopefully Mir can coach in Vegas, because he's still a great jits player.

 

[Chamber]

Murr was always a can. He confirmed it for us tonight, brah.

I agree that Mir was an easy opponent but who else could they have possibly put up there anyway? HW division just kind of bores me without someone like Roid in it but at least tonight had some fun finishes (I don't include the awkward JDS fight in that group though).

LOL. JDS is such a random fighter to hate, why you so salty? Brazil beat your fav volleyball team or something?

 

[Zeliard]

Mir vs Barnett would be a good fight

Send Mir to Strikeforce for a one-off with Barnett.

 

[yacobod]

Too many people confusing good fights with good finishes.

the point of a fight is to finish brah. not to win an athletic competition via point fighting.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Nope. I love Brazilian fighters. I was the first Aldo fanboy on this board. Can't someone hate JDS? He's not Jesus.

He's a premiere gate keeper. Instead of testing someone's worthiness to be in the UFC HW division, he'll be there to test if a person is ready for a title shot.

It just seems odd because he seems like a nice guy. Too each his own though.

 

[Chamber]

We really going to pretend that Mir, Silva, Herman, Del Rosario and Johnson weren't pathetically outmatched tonight? I like watching guys get flattened but I'll take a 5 round war over tonight's stuff any day.

 

[AstroLad]

Act or not he's always seemed like a really good guy. I remember them talking about him being Nogueira's gardner or something ... is that true or is that just BS like Bones and the mugger?

For some reason I can't get into him though. To me he's always felt like more of a sign of how mediocre the whole division is than someone whose own fighting genuinely excites me. I'm not a huge fan of HWs in general though.

If you include the undercard though I'd say it was really solid.

 

[dream]

It seems pretty clear that the real (and healthy) Cain Velasquez will mug JDS. I think the aggressive Brock Lesnar that fought John Cena would beat JDS pretty handily too.

 

[bloodydrake]

Mark just needs a couple more fights like this

and he's ready to take out JDS..

just don't put him in there against any BJJ guys first.
