He thinks Randy Couture put pressure on him. He thinks Dan Henderson put pressure on him. I'm gonna put way more pressure on him.​

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

This will do the worst buy-rate in UFC history.

 

[Liquidrob]

bodog like numbers

 

[SHOGUN]

Michi gets another tough matchup in Yuri.

Palhares! Barboza! Carvalho! :fap: :fap: :fap:

I'm really looking forward to Prater/Silva.

Etim/Barboza is probably going to steal the show.

I think Aldo is too athletic to be held down long by Mendes. To win he's going to have be competitive standing and I'm just not sure if he can for five rounds.

Belfort desperately needs to win this after getting his soul taken by And1. Vitor is faster than Rumble, but I think Johnson can survive the early blitz and will grind him out.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

This would be a medioce C-show on Fuel. Can't believe people are being asked to pay for this.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

LOL @ paying for this shit.

I won't even watch it via hemanvagina stream...nor one of those cheap knock off non-VSN sponsored illegal streams.

I doubt I'd watch a match after the fact unless someone says it was a good match.

I love me some Erick Silva. He's gonna do work.

Alcantra/Omigawa will be awesome, think unless Omigawa can bully him, Yuri will take it.

I hope Rumble wins, I'd like to see some fresh blood emerge at 185.

No one's been able to hold Aldo down to date but maybe Mendes is that dude.

 

[Liquidrob]

UFC trying to rip the fans off even more in 2012, they even destoyed a great product in Strikeforce

This is why we cant have nice things

 

[Steel Mamba]

It's not stacked top to bottom, but there's definitely been worse cards. Vitor vs Rumble makes it worth watching.

Worse PPV cards?

Dude, Mike Massenzio is third from the top.

Terry Etim is on the main card.

It's a two fight card, and those aren't even so hot. Everything else is prelim level quality.


But if you guys think this is bad, wait until you see the Sweden lineup. At least the Sweden card is a free Fuel show though, it's hard to complain about free.

like thats ever stopped people before

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

With PPV, FOX, FX, and Fuel, plus trying to restock Strikeforce and the TUF finales twice per year, Zuffa really needs to start bringing in more fighters to beef up these shows.

I see that they signed Ryan Jimmo a few weeks ago. That's the kind of fighter they need to go out and find. Bellator has done a better job scooping up these quality guys who have been under the radar, especially internationally.

I think yall are sleeping on the Vitor and Rumble matchup. The card lacks names, but most of these guys put on some exciting fights.

 

[Liquidrob]

Also going up against pats vs TEBOW I believe

Rumble is going to be shooting doubles

 

[EmpireWF]

Yeah, I'll be watching that game and moving over to 142 after it's over. I imagine the majority of casual MMA fans will be sticking to Tebowmania.

[Liquidrob]

always pick the brazilians on a UFC brazil card

sidenote: wouldnt be shocked to see mendes grind out a 'win' though

 

[Liquidrob]

limbs will be broken

the man they will not let And1 fight

 

[Maestro]

Rumble weighed in at 197. If he doesn't stay below 205 tomorrow the bout will not take place.
