    The Ultimate Fighting Championship (MMA) Thread

    Loved the card the other night and I agree completely.  Evans did what so many young fighters do. He fell in love with his highlights instead of what got him to where he is.  KOing A washed up Liddell and a never was Sean Salmon doesnt make you the next Vanderlei Silva.  He needs to either be...

    Forget Up and comers, why are they letting Penn fight at 170lbs? It's moronic. BJ walks around at a doughy 170-175lbs and he's going to trade with guys cutting 15-20lbs? with size and reach on him? Forget it. BTW Rory looked like a total punk. If you have a guy at your absolute mercy in...

    No idea why Mir thought that was a prudent corse of action. I figured the one guy that wouldn't fall into the stand up trap would be Mir. Man, so dissapointing. If Struve can figure out how to jump gaurd and tap a guy you would think Mir would have tired a couple more times to get the fight...

    Am I the only one who thinks Mir is going to snatch an arm and take home the strap tonight?

    I am still pissed they made his epic win against Gomi a no-contest because of weed. why they even test for weed is mindnumbingly stupid.

    Dan Shaughnessy: Taking a dump in your mouth one column at a time

    I literally never go to Boston.com now. I wonder how bad they let it get before opening it up again.

    Aldo probably beats him. But the key with Zombie is that he won't be content to Rashad his way through a title fight to save face (literally and figuratively). Zombie will bring it in victory or defeat.

    Why was the best groundfighter in the TUF house trying to stand with a guy as explosive as Lawrence? Seriously, Faber needs to coach these guys and not just Shamrock his way through the show. Marcello should have been trying to take Lawrence down the entire fight and Lawrence was clearly not...

    And whoever wins that fight is the prohibative favorite for the season, barring the loser getting back in the mix somehow. But it also sends a message to Cruz's team that Lawrence is the guy their "coach" thinks will win. On a show where the teams are largely a fabrication nessecitated by...

    Well the first team based episode of TUF was interesting. First of all I was really disapointed that Cruikshank got caught with that fluke knee. Brutal KO and even more deflating considering that he was dominating that fight and is clearly a better skilled fighter. But that's MMA. All it...

    I thought the live fights were a good idea but you are right about the commentary. It was like you were watching a youtube clip with really solid production and camera work. I will say that Marcello looked sick. Guys that trained with Chute Boxe are usually pretty legit. Guys that trained...

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    If Mike Greenberg can survive his epic MLK day goof then I would assume Berman and Stu-yah would be given a pass as well. Now if they did something realy stupid like telling an offensive joke at a Roast, then all bets are off.

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    He was making the same kind of posts on his facebook page before the White House visit. Why is his facebook page suddenly newsworthy? It's a manufactured story reported by lazy journalists and the only team disctraction resulting from this is media driven. Edit. I would say TNR should move...

    Does this shock anyone? Diaz is nuts, which is a major reason why he's as good a fighter as he is. You can't have one without the other. And the crazy dude still doesn't get that he's going to piss hot if he smokes weed, even after getting caught already. According to his piss test after the...

    If you remember earlier in the week Fred was making a big deal about having a guy come to his place and do a professional wall mounting on a TV he just got and that you would be stupid to try and do that yourself, and the promotion they are running has Paul's TV offering... free wall mounting...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Since we are talking about EEI, if they are censoring the online content then they are probably doing it to minimize the verbal faux pax of the on air talent. An ounce of prevention is worth a metric ton of PR damage control.

    Lesnar might have been the softest 300lb guy to ever win the title. If you just touched his chin he would cover up. The textbook definition of a bully. If Carwin had better cardio this charade would have been over a year ago. Glad to see him gone. What are the odds that Overeem passes the...

    The UFC is adding a 125lbs divison and having a four fighter tournament to crown the champ. Ian McCall vs. Demetrious Johnson, and Joseph Benavidez vs. Yasuhiro Urushitani. This starts March 3rd. Exciting news. I'm also gald to see McCall in the mix. I remember seeing him pummell Ox Wheeler...

    All the tools and the attitude to be the best for a while. Aside from the slim chance of a Matt Serra/GSP type upset, which would most likey come from a Dan Henderson bomb, Jones should be a title holder for some time. He should be able to beat Henderson, is going to absolutely maim Evans...
