[KINGOFOOTBALL]

What a sad state if affairs when this is how you celebrate your 20th anniversary.
Good card but 20th anniversary celebration material ?

 

[Jmiles]

I like this card a lot.

Ebersole vs story should be a good scrap. Both guys are good grapplers, I see story closing the gap and going for the KILL.

Cerrone vs Dunham is a fight I am surprised it took this long to make. By far my favorite fight of the night.

The main card is solid as well. Tim Elliot is going to start the night off right. He will get the ppv crowd going and have them going on all cylinders by GSP's unfortunate demise.

I hate that I always have to buy GSP ppv's tho...

The one time he gets knocked out again will be on fox when I don't have to fork out money :ronaldo:

I would like to see a Hendricks KO to shake things up, but GSP by decision is the best bet in sports the last couple of years

 

[EmpireWF]

Day we learn Showtime is likely out until next summer at the earliest with his knee injury, lil brother Sergio gets a W in his UFC debut.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Rory MacDonald is one of the most overhyped fighters in recent history. They really need to stop overrating these kids before they get where they're supposed to be as fighters.

 

[EmpireWF]

Robbie fucking Lawler.

LEGGO HENDRICKS!

 

[JimLeavy59]

Hendricks is picking GSP apart.

 

[Jmiles]

Hendricks about to be crowned!

 

[EmpireWF]

Silva and GSP lose about 4 months apart. Nuts.

 

[EmpireWF]

JOHNY HENDRICKS!@~~~~!!

 

[EmpireWF]

absolute bullshit

 

[JimLeavy59]

FUCK THE UFC

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

I cant believe you guys act surprised by this shit. The 10 point must system is becoming so predictable... GSP obviously did not win that fight on a whole, but it was so obvious to me that atleast 2 judges would give GSP the fight after he clearly won that 5th round. He won round 3 pretty clearly too, Hendricks take down meant little to nothing. And round 1 could've gone either way, so the champ is getting it in most cases. Surely I shouldnt have to say that you never leave the fight in the judges hands if you're trying to take the belt from the champion. GSP was a defeated man, easily the most hes ever been beat up. Hendricks could've ended this fight with a little more work, but as soon as it went to that 5th round and GSP won that 5th round, he was toast. People will act shocked by this, they shouldnt be. 1-3-5 to GSP was obvious after the fight was done. Im pretty certain Vegas got absolutely raped in live odds by this fight too, as the books seem to have trouble realizing this shit as much as the common MMA fan does. GSP was a 6/1 underdog going into the 5th round. Absolutely silly. Hendricks needed to win that last round decisively to secure that fight, I really dont think anyone should be surprised that he lost when he didnt.

 

[Ravin]

I don't watch UFC often...and tonight proves why.

As much as I want to see the Canadian win, I have to give credit where it is due and say Hendricks easily won that fight. He was right in his post fight interview...he earned it.

 

[JimLeavy59]

THE FUCK? THEY GAVE GSP ROUND 1?

I bet a lot of MMA, and you are right on the money with how Vegas reacts to these fights...it is one of the areas Vegas has yet to really get a grasp on where they will always have the distinct advantage. You'll pay for having that edge...but if you've watched enough MMA, you could make a few bucks.

I know I did tonight. :sex:

MMA is by far my best money maker, only rivaled by tennis (and my tennis reads have dropped badly this year, live play is essential for money making in that sport). Its a shame the plays arent more frequent.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Nothing wrong with the decision even though I don't agree with it. Round 1 going to GSP is reasonable. Kuzzy said it best and I won't repeat it. If you understand the ten point must, you understand that this wasn't really a robbery. Can't judge a fight as a whole, because thats not how it works.
