yea, that was classic Neer, took a beating but still found a way to get it done

Mike Easton v Jared Papazian was crazy both guys went all out, great fight, thought that should have been FOTN, although Barry v Morecraft was pretty good too. Barry improved a lot on the ground, he still has more work to do but it was nice seeing him get a win

Denis was incredibly impressive and Miller showed what a warrior he is, I def thought Guillard could of had him a couple of times but you can't mess w/ Miller on the ground, unless you have rubber limbs and don't need oxygen like Ben Henderson

[san~man]

I though HD was done when he got caught in the straight arm bar, but he's been spending some time on his ground game it seems.

Denis' striking was impressive, really crisp with obvious boxing background, but he's in a competitive weight class so we'll see how he does.

[Garduna]

Barry getting the win made me happy. Glad his ground game is improving. Can only go up from here!

I seriously thought that Guillard could have had that one it if he kepted it more of a boxing bought. Way too many jumping knees.

[escobar929]

I personally, cant wait till Rousey vs Tate, two hotties going at it

hopefully we get a repeat at the weigh-in like last time

[san~man]

I can't wait for Sonnen to murder Bisping

Sonnen via med evac

Middleweight bout: Brazil Demian Maia vs. United States Chris Weidman---Weidman via whatever he can get.

Featherweight bout: United States Cub Swanson vs. United States George Roop...Roop!!!
Featherweight bout: Brazil Charles Oliveira vs. United States Eric Wisely---I am indifferent to these two.

Middleweight bout: United States Chris Camozzi vs. United States Dustin Jacoby---Don't know these two.

[escobar929]

not sure if any of you guys have seen this but its a gem

[san~man]

Classic. I expected HD to be a ham, but am surprised that Crocop is too

[Motif]

Nice vid...Can anyone figure what it says on the head rest?

[Garduna]

saw the vid a few weeks ago, both of em are awesome

so glad pat got the win.

rossey vs tate will go either 1-2 ways. Roussey will get her way and grapple tate down and within 60 seconds, get a sub in. Tate could keep this standing and chip roussey down, tho I just can't see that happening for too long and Tate doesn't have strong KO power like Cyborg.

[escobar929]

wow, UFC on FOX 2 hasnt happened yet and I already cant wait till UFC on FOX 3, they just announced Diaz vs Miller, thats going to be insane

[san~man]

Let's hope Miller makes up for Cowboy's mistep. Diaz has had problems with wrestlers in the past, so I hope Miller gives him hell.

[san~man]

As much as I dislike lisping, I thought he won rounds 1 and 2. Sonnen didn't look impressive at all

Rashad looked impressive against Davis, but that doesn't say much. His striking was mediocre against a mediocre opponent, and I forsee a 1 or 2nd round ko by jones come april

Boring televised fights overall

[BMW86]

Good fights, shame there wasn't any finishes. Looks like we'll finally see Sonnen v Silva 2 and Evans v Jones.

I think Rashad played a safe fight, didn't take too many unnecessary risks and won decisively.

I thought Bisping looked impressive but couldn't overcome Sonnen's lay and pray in round 3. It looks like Sonnen is always trying to win a decision instead of finishing a fight.

The Maia fight was really boring, he's definitely out of the mix for now.

[Motif]

Sonnen was in WWE before MMA?

[escobar929]

yea, I'm no Bisping fan either but I def thought he got the first two rounds. oh well, the fight every one wants to see, including the judges, is Sonnen v Silva, so in a way it works out. I still remain hope we get to see Silva KO Bisping in the future.

If Sonnen comes out like that against Anderson, he is in for a world of hurt.

Rashad looked pretty good, you could tell he didn't want to take any chances on the feet but he was pretty dominant on the ground and Phil Davis is no slouch either.

The undercard was def much better than the main card, multiple impressive finishes. Just goes to show, big names doesn't necessarily mean better fights. Maia and Weidman looked awful, instead of the epic grappling match we expected, we got a horrible display of kick boxing, no one is ever gonna confuse this fight for Barboza vs Njokowani

[Cdnrockies]

The UFC is sadly heading down the same road that essentially destroyed boxing with the horrible judging.

First, I'll say that I'm not a fan of either, with Sonnen being one of the biggest douchebags in the sport.

Whatever judge that had the Sonnen vs. Bisping fight at 30-27 simply shouldn't be allowed to officiate ever again. The fact that not one of those judges saw it 29-28 for Bisping is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, Sonnen owned the third, but did nothing impressive in rounds one or two.

[escobar929]

cant wait for this weekend, Condit vs Diaz is going to be insane!!!!

[CoconutPete]

Good win for Sonnen, good win for Rashad.

However ............

If Sonnen shows up like that against Anderson, he will last 2 rounds. The only reason he will last 2 rounds is that we all know Anderson takes round 1 to figure his opponent out.

Rashad ... Tough one - I like Rashad, but I see no reason why Jones doesn't put him away in round 2 or 3 and then screams "are you not entertained" into the crowd.

Did anyone watch the Primetime shows on Condit & Diaz? I have always been a huge fan of the Diaz Brothers, but you learn so much more about Nick when you watch those shows.

[san~man]

I'm hoping that Condit redeems the fans for Cowboy's poor performance last month and takes the asshole out.

If the brothers weren't such dicks, I'd root for them because they have skills. But, they're just dicks, and it makes it so easy to root for their loss.

[escobar929]

I am very torn on this fight, Condit is in my top 3 fav fighters, just love the way he fights, always looking for a finish, has finished 26 out of 27 of something crazy like that and the only one to survive him is Ellenberger who is also high up on the list of the best at 170. So needless to say, Condit is a beast

But I love the Diaz brothers, from their attitude to the way they always bring it. These dudes are real, they dont put on the fake smile like and say the popular thing, like GSP does. All these guys care is fighing

I really want Condit to win and I think he has the tools to do it but either way, its going to be a hell of a fight

Pretty interesting, the last WEC 170 champ vs the first WEC 170 champ and last SF champ

[Garduna]

I'm expecting an all out war from condit and diaz. I don't expecting condit do do what cowboy did and play into diaz's strengths and gameplan. I still can't fathom why donald did that. I want condit to win this but I do want to see gsp vs diaz.
