Spinning back kick KO for Belfort. Very nice!!
Belfort vs Rockhold getting ready to start on FX. Should be a good fight. Souza looked good in his UFC debut.
100% agree. I always hope that boxers will be smart enough to get out before they hit that age, but it doesn't seem to work that way usually. As much as I don't root for Mayweather, it's a privilege...
Yeah, all his movements are unbelievable. He's making Guerroro looking amateurish. It will be interesting to see how much longer he'll go. He doesn't tend to take much damage in fights, but he's 36...
Yeah, I haven't bought a PPV boxing match since Mayweather/DeLa Hoya back in 2007. I was always more of a heavyweight boxing fan and the weight cl**** has been terrible for a long time.
The...
All Mayweather so far through 6. Neither have hurt each other at all yet though. Typical Mayweather. Too fast for anyone but his style has never been particularly appealing to me. He doesn't take...
Jones needs to go heavyweight or fight A. Silva. Nothing left for him at 205. This fight was a major reach for the UFC to promote as a LHW championship and ended up not being competitive at all.
Bisping is one of those guys that can handle fairly high level of fighters, but I don't think will ever be able to get past the elite fighters. He's a good, solid fighter but isn't truly dynamic with...
Prelims have been cursed.... eye poke that was called prematurely and a dislocated/broken thumb in what looked like it might have been an entertaining fight. I'm not sure who to root for in the main...
I actually think Hendricks might have a good chance of beating GSP. He has a huge left hook and GSP hasn't shown the best chin in his fights (excluding the first BJ Penn). It will be interesting to...
Big fight tomorrow night. I've been waiting for GSP vs Diaz for awhile. I think GSP will handle him fairly easy with pure athleticism, but we'll see. He hasn't had much action in the last couple of...
Anyone watching the fights tonight? I respect Machida's style but fights like that make it difficult to root for him. I was worried it would turn into that when I head he was fighting Hendo. No...
Great fight. Edgar always makes for entertaining fights. Takes a beating but keeps on attacking non-stop. Fun to watch.
Very entertaining fight so far. I'd give the first three rounds to Aldo and the fourth to Edgar.
That was a heck of a KO. Battered him before the ref stepped in. Big win for Silva.
Thanks
Anyone know a place the UFC hasn't shut down for streaming? Forgot about the card tonight and won't be at home to rent the PPV.
The UFC had a really bad year but alot of it was due to injuries. Ever since they supplied the fighters with medical insurance, the injury bug has been biting them.
Plus, I think they devoted...
Tonight will be the first UFC I've purchased in awhile. Not real thrilled with the card but using it as somewhat of a New Year's party as well. Hopefully the JDS vs Cain fight is good. I wish Overeem...
Saw it. Really enjoyed it. Its been a few years since I've read the book so I might go back and re-read it to jog my memory on some areas. I saw it in 3D and will go back to watch it in 2D at some...
Anyone interested in UFC 154 tomorrow night? GSP's return.... but not much else on the card.
Bad news for boxing. Great trainer and I always enjoyed his commentary. RIP

Big fight for Oklahoma City. I'll take Cormier:

The guys who really got screwed are the low level fighters. Most of them were probably really depending on their fight purses and sponsor money. That's who takes the hardest hit. I'm sure the UFC...
Pretty sure I saw an interview with Jones where he stated that he fights for money. If that's the case, defending his title vs an unworthy opponent should be an easier payday than taking it against...
Crazy. Strange that Jones turned down Sonnen. I imagine he didn't feel that Sonnen was a worthy opponent in the 205 division (which is definitely the case) but I bet it was hard not to bow down to...
I've never been big on women's MMA but Rousey's record is very impressive. 6 fights with 6 arm bar victories. And she's fought a couple of the highest ranked women fighters in her division so it...
Anyone have interest at all in UFC 150 tomorrow night? Benson Henderson is usually fun to watch but I won't be getting the PPV. I'll watch the undercard on FX - though I'm not familiar with any of...
Excellent card! Vera did much better than I expected. I suppose Machida will be next in line for Jones (****uming Jones beats Hendo). I don't really remember Jones-Machida 1. Rogan said something...
Not overly excited for any of the fights but they are free on Fox so I'll be tuning in: http://mmajunkie.com/news/29953/ufc-on-fox-4-live-and-official-weigh-in-results.mma
Vera hasn't looked good...
And I'll have to admit, as much as Sonnen's WWE personality annoys me for hyping fights - he's very good at post fight breakdowns behind the booth. I can see him doing that once he hangs up the...
Weidman looked really good tonight against Munoz. Total domination and destruction. Might be someone to take over the MW division when Silva retires. Still needs three fights or so before considering...
Has there been another angle shown of the knee strike? I did a quick google search and didn't come up with anything. When I saw it live, I thought for sure it was illegal. After watching the replay,...
Stupid... but the bad thing is; he's pretty much the only MW fighter I see having a chance against Silva at this point. If he hadn't gone for the idiotic spinning back fist, I think he would have...
Great job by the ref not to halt the fight there... when I watched it live, I was yelling that it was an illegal knee. Crazy how many huge body shots were the primary reasons behind fights being...
It sucks that GSP had the knee injury when he did. If he'd stayed on track they might have been able to set that fight up. GSP has a style that is tailor made to beat Silva (repeated double leg...
Silva is pretty amped up for this fight. I think I'll call him with a first round KO. I'll be rooting for Chael to score an early takedown though.
...
Boxing needs another Mike Tyson in the heavyweight division to help lift it back up again. Like it or not, people watch heavyweights more than the lower weight classes. And the Klitschko brothers...
I'll take Silva as well. Big rumors that Silva hurt his knee in training camp a few weeks ago though. Sonnen does have a style that is probably about the only way to beat Silva (if he can somehow...
It would be awesome to see big fights on network TV. I can't imagine any of the mid-level (and up) boxers giving up the chunk of money that comes with PPV though. I was a huge boxing fan in the late...
Never been a huge fan of Mir but he definitely has a good chance to win if he'll fight like he did against Big Nog. I just think Dos Santos will outstrike him and avoid going to the ground.
Anyone watching tomorrow night? I've got a watch party going because my buddies love watching the big guys fight and that's all that's on the menu for the event. I'll take Dos Santos and Velasquez in...
Great fights on Showtime last night in the Heavyweight Grand Prix Finale. Melendez and Thomson had another great fight. And Cormier could be a future UFC champ if he keeps improving. He dominated...
I like this match for Lombard's first fight in the UFC. If he beats Stann on a FOX card, he'll be set for an immediate title shot after that. And for Stann, if he wins - he'll be right back in the...
Only problem is - if Silva beats Sonnen (which I think is likely), who does he have to fight in the MW division? Munoz? Bisping? Neither would challenge him or really deserve a shot at the belt for a...
Pretty cool news even though I'm not sure how he'll do in the UFC.

UFC is kind of in a conundrum right now with their most popular weight divisions (WW, MW, LHW) - they have three overly dominant champs. With GSP, we don't know for sure since he hasn't fought in so...
One thing I started wondering, or worrying, about last night... the Greg Jackson fighters who get highly successful seem to explode onto the scene with exciting fights then start grinding out wins...
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of Jones and will be rooting for Hendo when the fight happens, I just don't see anyone in the LHW ranks giving him much of a fight. He's only going to keep getting better...
Who does Jones have left to fight at LHW? Dan Henderson is next and I don't think that will be much of a challenge. After that he's beaten almost all of the top 10 in a dominant fashion (Shogun,...
