thanks. so both fighters get the NC then?
unintentional eye poke, kick in the balls, etc.
i was just checking out Hardy's mma record.. he has 1 NC, any idea what happens in ufc to get a NC?
Ha! I can't wait to see Johnson shut Hardy up once and for all.
I predict a KO in the first round. Send Hardy packin back over the pond.
looks like some good fights
UFC Fight Night LIVE on Spike TV March 26th

yea, i agree. It definitely seems to be true.
Mirko.Once a fighter gets knocked out once, his head comes in to a knock out syndrom.lol
I mean look at Chuck Liddel.Once he started kissing the Floor, then he was kissing it regularly.Once a Fighter passes the 35 years of Age, the head blows become more lithal.That is Why We see knock outs lately time after time.To the likes of Chuck Liddel.Or Matt Huge.Keith Jardine,Mirko,and the list goes on.
He felt Jones power and strength and vapor locked. He did look out of shape as well. No respect for Jones or just a poor training camp?
I agree Taki, he looked soft in the middle, in past fight he was lean and cut, looked like poor condition
Because that was not the same Shogun that Fought Machida.What we saw was a scared Shogun.A Slow Shogun.ZERO Leg kicks.The first thing he should have done.Chop Jon's Legs.Kick and move out.Kick and move out.Then sudden attack,Hit and move out,quicly.
He stood there Like A Dork,with no head movements at all.ZERO head movement.
Easy target.
This was the worst Shogun ever.And trust me it is not because Jon was so Great.It was because Shogun had no game plan.And did absolutely nothing.With Machida he had the eye of the Tiger especially the second time.He went to destroy.The ShoGun we saw last night was not there for sure.
When I seen the weigh ins and how much bigger Jones was, I was like ruh roh Rua is f#cked!
Yeah, its not like he's to old, he just changed as a fighter and does not have the same fight in him, to cautious etc instead of going after his opponent like the old days, he was scary good back then. Now that UFC bought Strikeforce, maybe they will send him there to try and redeem himself, I doubt it though. Strikeforce may serve ad the UFC minor league down the road.
Jones IMO could dominate even the heavyweights, the dude got mad skills and sic power! Would love to see him call out Silva
I was expecting shogun to target jones chicken legs to break him down. Did u see the huge difference in size of their legs? Jones didn't have a single scratch or bruise on him after the fight, absolutely demolished shogun. Jones looks like a really thin 205er
Yeah dana's given mirko enough chances. He's done. He used to be one of my favorite fighters during Pride, but it's been nothing but disappointments since he joined UFC. Especially after he got cro-copped by gonzaga.
it sounds like Jones wants to go to heavyweight in 2 or 3 years.
Good fights, Faber is gonna be champ soon.. Mirko is done! Jones will be champ for years.
Well, we now know Silva will never be coming to 205 with Jones there. I figured he would win. Poor Evens, he will meet the same fate as Rua. I honestly don't see anyone taking his belt, he will terrorize 205 for a long time.
5/7 of my picks won. Not too bad.
Never betting against jones unless it's Anderson silva. Lesson learned.
Jones kicked Rua's ass! Total domination. I don't think Rua even hit him with anything worth mentioning.
Jones will be champ as long as he wants to be.
Unreal!!

Welcome Jenna! We are all MMA fanatics here
I can't believe there is an MMA Board..so glad to see it! I LOVE MMA!!!!
Heres my picks: Pellegrino, Schaub, Marquadt, Rua and Faber to win, not sure about the others..
do u think any of the underdogs have a chance of winning?? i bet on underdog shogun, he has 160+
maybe crocop?? he's way past his prime tho.. but brendan is still freshmeat
yea the illegal elbow. he went berserk in that fight
i might have to go with Jones on this one. Hes fast and accurate.
.. is this Jones the same guy that put the hurt on that deaf kid in the ring and got disqualified?

you don't buy up the competition and continue to have them gobble up your market share.
exactly. you don't buy up the competition and continue to have them gobble up your market share. its lights out for strikeforce. i bet there are some guys on the strikeforce side that now wish they could take back past comments about the ufc and dana lol
This is the beginning of the end of strikeforce
Oh yeah I agree. It's probably a few years down the road though.
Where is Pride and the WEC now?
Makes no sense long term to have two competing brands. This is the beginning of the end of StrikeForce. Once contracts and obligations run their course, so will SF.
Brilliant move by Zuffa and White.
Not really. It's not that big of a deal. It's going to be like the WEC was. You won't see Fedor or Dan Henderson on a UFC card. Strikeforce is still going to run as normal on Showtime, doing their own shows. Totally separate from the UFC. At least that's the way it sounds to me.
power move by white, UFC now has heavyweights
WOW.Game Changer: Zuffa and UFC Purchase StrikeforcePosted on March 12, 2011 by Damon Martin
In a move that will change the mixed martial arts industry forever, Zuffa, parent company of the UFC, has purchased Strikeforce.
The deal was announced by UFC President Dana White in an interview with MMAFighting.com on Saturday.
“It’s literally official right now,” White said in the interview about purchasing the San Jose, Calif. based promotion. “We literally just closed the deal.”
MMAWeekly.com had been told by sources a couple weeks ago that Zuffa was talking to their partners in Abu Dhabi at Flash Entertainment about funding to purchase Strikeforce. Flash owns a percentage of Zuffa, and the deal was likely marked by a financial undertow from both Zuffa and their partners in the Middle East.
Zuffa has made a move similar to this before when they purchased Pride Fighting Championships in Japan and also buying World Extreme Cagefighting a few years ago.
This move, however, may end up proving to be the biggest deal of them all, as Zuffa has now purchased the only other major MMA promotion in North America, and by far their biggest competitor.
White says the deal just came together recently, but emphasized the point that the UFC and Strikeforce will continue to run as separate entities.
“Let’s face the facts, Strikeforce is a brand that fans have come to like, that they do have a following, people enjoy the fights that they are putting on,” White stated.
In the deal, Zuffa will be the owner of the Strikeforce brand and library of fights, but the contracts of all fighters remain under the Strikeforce name and they will continue to operate “business as usual.”
White also confirmed that Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker will remain with the company in the same role as before. He will lead the promotion and have free reign to handle all fighter contracts and continue signing new deals with fighters as well.
Fighters will continue to fight under the Strikeforce banner, including Fedor Emelianenko, whose management company M-1 Global has had a volatile relationship with White and Zuffa for years. White maintains that Emelianenko will remain in Strikeforce, and they will honor all previous deals.
White stated that fighters such as Paul Daley and Josh Barnett will remain with Strikeforce and they will fulfill those contracts, but did point out that Daley will still never fight in the UFC again. What that means for his future beyond his current contract remains to be seen.
The women’s division in Strikeforce will also remain status quo according to the UFC president. He stated time and time again that everything running in the MMA promotion remains business as usual.
Strikeforce remains in a contract with Showtime for approximately two more years. White says that his partners at Zuffa will deal with them for any issues, as he has never held his tongue when talking about the cable company.
Strikeforce employees will remain “for now,” according to White, but Zuffa will lend a hand wherever help is needed, including any behind the scenes issues and production.
The deal is a landmark change in MMA as Zuffa now owns the biggest conglomerate in the fighting world. While White stated “business as usual” several times in his interview, the business of MMA is now changed forever.
lol, i thought randy couture was one of a kind
Never underestimate dudes in their 40's
Yeah. Damn can't underestimate hendo and his knock out power. I hate the spreads on betus.com.
Henderson not looking so old, eh?
Off to the gym, training with a dude who has a fight coming up..
