Not surprised by Vitor testing. I believe he has a 1 fight license with stipulations like random testing. Like Overeem had. Obviously they are going to want to test his the first chance they get

"Randomly tested" :lol

my thoughts exactly :suspicious::ilied::lawl:

Great article on Dana by Kevin Iole

Y! SPORTS

Cormier was on fire! Totally a guy who "gets it" and a big part of why I am a Cormier fan.

To me.. that was hard to watch.. they were trying so harddd to pump up the fight. from cummins getting fired on the spot...making cormier cry lol...

I just searched youtube and only saw this video..maybe his other 3 are elsewhere but ya. Cormier will destroy this guy lol

something about the way cormier talks i don't like. just rubs me the wrong way. but he did a pretty good job in skinny's vid. calling him patrick not pat :lol

Yeah you're right, it would be much smarter for them to just let peoples interest build on their own merits... Who cares if literally nobody has heard of the guy, and he works in a coffee shop? If they want to be taken "seriously" as a "true sport" then they can't do promotion like this.

Pat Cummins is going to get his 15min of fame, and that'd be it. There's a reason why D.C was an Olympian and Pat wasn't. Plus, from those fights of Pat, looks like he brings it to the ground, which he won't be able to against D.C.

Surprised noones talking about Machida tmr, He's shredded.

Pat was a better wrestler than CV back when they were both in university btw. He is a very good wrestler. Probably not good enough to beat DC, but he has credentials. Just hope this doesn't derail his potential early or something like that

i was like :ahwow:

Anyone else watch the machida mousasi fight? I wonder who mousasi should f fight next. I thought machida was not a good fight for him with it being his 2nd fight in the ufc

That was a shitty show, and I am kind of going back to hating Machida again.. maybe these guys are getting too evenly matched. This is the second show in a row where there were 10 decisions and 2 finishes. This also set the record for longest night ever, with 3 hours of actual fighting. That sounds like it should be good, but most of the fights were boring.

I miss Strikeforce, they always had these awesome lopsided cards with a lot of exciting fights and wild finishes.

Erik Silva looked good, but his opponent had no business being there in the ring with him.

Machida was never in any real danger against Mousassi, and he should have finished him, or at least tried. Instead he "stuck to the plan" of circling around him all night, and occasionally throwing combinations.

As for who Mousassi fights, there are plenty of guys at 185 who are stuck in limbo. Hell Francis Carmont may be a good one, I thought he looked good despite losing. If you can survive with Jacare on your back for 2 full rounds, that is a feat in itself IMO

I guess they'll do Machida vs the winner of Weidman/Belfort but personally I think he should fight Jacare and have that winner go for the title

Also BTW


:ahwow:

^ I agree with the fighting from that card. Everyone fought to not lose, rather than fighting to finish and win - aka boring. Though Erick Silva came out like a beast and entertained me for less than a minute.

I actually enjoyed watching machida fight despite the decision.

Mousasi gives a lot of credit to Machida for that fight.. No excuses or complaints on how that fight went down... I think that's a first time I've ever heard someone not complain of Machida's style

Wish UFC would pull Bisping out of the Kennedy fight and have this

Weidman/Belfort
Machida/Bisping
Jacare/Rockhold

Tho Jacare might need surgery on his left arm supposedly.

strong logo placement...

he back...

Machida landed 28 significant strikes. Total. In a 5 round fight. :seriously:

Didn't watch the fights but I figured it would be a dull one. Mousasi's nickname is 'the dream catcher' but it should be the 'snooze maker'. He is skilled, but so uninspired. And Machida rarely fights moving forward.

If you're wondering what to expect from Pat Cummins


DC is going to stomp this guy

:suspicious:

Yup oops
