Infield Infidel said:Four shut-out rounds wasn't enough, TJ just blasted him in the 5th. What a performance.
Infield Infidel said:Daniel Cormier threw Hendo around like he was nothing. DC also looked about 225, and Hendo weighed in at 199. But man, DC looked good.
Infield Infidel said:looking at the stats on TJ/Barao, Barao attempted zero takedowns. I think he didn't have a plan B, and his corner didn't tell him to try a takedown, they only told him to try to avoid getting hit. If someone is consistently landing punches, you should mix it up with takedown attempts. Since Barao didn't, TJ knew he could keep doing what he was doing. (I also think Herb Dean gifted Barao the win over Faber.)
Compare that to when kick fiend Aldo broke his foot and switched it up, using takedowns to take over the match

Gunfighter, I think Cormier/Hendo shows that Hendo is a middleweight at this point in his career. I hadn't thought about it, but he probably has a quicker title shot at 185, since it's a thinner division than 205 (no pun intended).
Cormier said he'll wait for Jones/Gustafsson 2 winner in August 30, so he'd have to wait until Dec/Jan/Feb. Maybe the Super Bowl Saturday card. Cormier also had a hell of a time making weight, and a long layoff may make that harder. He ran through a lot of heavyweights so he's good and he's a powerhouse at 205, more than anyone else probably.
mikeford said:middleweight is a great division?
a guy who beat anderson twice because of luck and then beat machida because machida's stupid karate counter punch horseshit means he has no idea how to press when a guys hurt is the champ
the next ranked dudes are anderson, who should probably just retire, the guy he just beat, and fuckin vitor belfort which who the fuck knows whats going on with him at this point
middleweight is the worst division in the UFC right now and weidman is gonna have the belt forever because theres NOTHING for challengers. ugh.
SeoulSoxFan said:That could be career over for Silva
Gunfighter 09 said:It really sucks to see a great champion like Silva go out like that.
Infield Infidel said:Yeah, it's unsatisfying to see a legend go out like that, two really terrible fights. But they gotta go out one way or another.

ypioca said:So, does Weidman's leg hurt from that kick?
This is a sport where the main objective involves kicking people as hard as you can. That leg ain't doing that anymore. The man is 38 years old. Unless Kobe's German medical team has some tricks up its sleeve, I don't think he will fight again.
He's backMyt1 said:Name your charity and amount. He's been considering retiring for a while and has had to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat a few times lately. I can't imagine he'll be back in the UFC.
I'm happy to be if it actually comes off.phragle said:He's back

What does it feel like to always be wrong, guys?

seageral said:I'm sure i'd shoot myself in some part of myself if I had a gun, but JESUS CHRIST how do you not take any and all bullets out of your damn gun before you 'clean it'???
Or is 'cleaning your gun' some kind of catch-all for 'being an idiot' like 'flu-like symptoms'.
