[Ministry of Silly Walks]

my connection decided to log itself out of my BT i online app, just before the fight, i managed to get it back on during the interveiws....fuming.

damn it man. i'm sorry you missed that.

Jon Jones on hiatus. That's a nice way of putting it.

I caught that as well, I wouldnt be surprised to find out this all was just a PR stunt by the UFC. They keep saying heis on the sidelines for a while, I hope they throw the book athim and put him in jail for a while just to fuck up the UFC plans.

Rockhold is the better fighter for sure

Jacare might be better than chris also

But Vitor almost took the belt in a few minutes flat. Give him props.

Yawn lol

Exceeding the hype, I would say. They are BRINGING it tonight. It's like everybody is extra-motivated...

Wouldn't it be great if every card was like this one, instead of the watered down ppv we had to swallow since ufc 100

 

[dacofty]

I think what needs tohappen is do a swap, let Goldberg go on hiatus and bring Jones back. Not that I care for Jones, but i cant stand Goldberg's perverted smiles to the camera

I think Luke will be his toughest defense. He will do to Jacare as he did Vitor. And I dont think Chris was in any danger from Vitor.

Vitor cut him pretty bad. Chris remained composed and all that, and executed perfectly on the ground after a perfect TD. But his head was a running faucet, and the fight had just begun.

oooh drama

 

[Morpheushasleftthebuilding]

just start the fight

 

[WoodenPupa]

This show has its own momentum. The lead-ins are superfluous and even awkward at this point.

 

[La Paix]

just start the fight

Embrace it.

Ive hit my finger with a hammerand busted it open on the first nail and continued until i got the job done. LOL I know that had nothing to do with the above, but alittle blood doesnt mean a thing. Hell Diego got busted upin every fight he ever was in and won the majority.

LADIES LOVE COOL JAMES IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!

I need love girl...

I really am torn on the main event. I like both fighters, but I thinkJohnson might want it more. We shall see.

 

[delightone]

I hope this isn't gonna be a wrestlefuck contest, Morpheus just made doubt all Blackzillians ground game

 

[La Paix]

Will we see DC get another HL slam?

 

[SongExotic2]

I got DC but Ill be happy whoever wins

 

[Ministry of Silly Walks]

Embrace it.

"just except it", he whispered into your ear, from behind you.

True, bleeding in itself isn't dangerous unless it's truly gushing. But cuts like Weidman had open the way to further cuts. And then things like vision interference and ref-stoppages loom. Chris was not in trouble, but he was not okay either. A cut like that, THAT early, is not good news. It gives the other guy a target, and cuts don't get smaller as the fight goes on.

Chris handled it like a champ though. "Stop doubting me!" Indeed. On the other hand, when Rockhold fights him...I'm taking Rockhold, LOL!

I like it to be Rumble, but wouldn't feel bad if DC took it.

 

[MoomBah]

I predict bungalows. Bungalows from AJ.

I want DC to win because its probably his last chance and I'd love to see him rematch Jon. I want to see AJ win because I think he could rule the division and fair well against Jon as well. Its in fates hands now so I'll just enjoy the moment.

 

[Jonny Quest]

I think a healthy Rockhold, after he takes the strap from Weidman, can take Bones, if he comes back and wins the division. No lies. Strikeforce fighters, btw, have proven themselves. .Egg is an idiot. per usual.

We talkin' about a whole lifestyle up in heah.

Rumble looks cool as a cucumber
