[tripil7z]

I got Rodgers on the other fight.

[tripil7z]

I got Overeem on this one . Jon Bones Jones is my favorite pound for pound fighter though.

[bobbydigital]

Allister overeem tomorrow! Don't miss it.

[IRISHBULL]

Thats the biggest line of BS I ever read!

Moreover, Sonnen wasn’t a tough opponent for me

[IRISHBULL]

Clay looked good last night, insane cardio, best in MMA I would say..

[ORCA]

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY SILVA???LOL.READ BOLD.UNREAL.HE GOT HIS A$$ KICKED ALL THE WAY TO BRAZIL FROM SONNEN AND READ WHAT HE SAYS.UNBELIEVABLE.

Sherdog.com translated a couple of passages of Silva’s interview.

“You have to find the best people to train with, and I think [Okami] chose wrong,” Silva said. “I’d never align myself with a loser, a loser in every sense. He didn’t win the fight [between us] and got caught doping. You want to be a champion? Get with good people, with winners. Moreover, Sonnen wasn’t a tough opponent for me. I was injured with cracked ribs and fought five rounds. If I hadn’t been injured, the fight would have been different.”

And will be destroyed. Stann needs several years of solid ground work and Muay Thai and jiu jitsu before stepping into the ring with silva. Straight up and down bangers are silva's specialty.

But you are correct and Dana will probably make it happen within a year.

[fade]

stann is tough at 185, challenges silva soon

[IRISHBULL]

Stann looking good!

Alves has the ability and skill to beat story, he let story cut off the cage and Story capitalized on it by shooting and/or pressing him up against the cage. I thing Story gridded out the W with take downs.

Roy Nelson, the guy still amazes the shit out of me, how the hell does this guy go 3 rounds the way he looks? and he went 3 rounds with a high level BBJ dude. Roy should take a year off, drop 50 pounds and fight 205, he would be a beast at 205.

Kendall is done IMO

Torres was disappointing, Johnson is very quick, may see a title shot soon.

Struve, knocked out again, not inexpressive at all, may be done soon.

Rolled with several fighters this morning, one dude I rolled with has also rolled with Rua in practice and tapped him out.. Freakin animals!

[IRISHBULL]

Diaz vs Daley - exciting fight, could have went either way for a while but Diaz powers through, he's much better than people give him credit for..

[IRISHBULL]

When you bet on the fights what happens when its a draw ie: Jardine? ?

[BlackThought]

i'm rooting for daley & jardine

jardine got screwed big time in this fight lol. the odds are highly against him. u could get a 400% return on your investment if he wins tho..

[IRISHBULL]

Hard getting use to seeing strikeforce fighters and promos on the UFC website.. WEIRD!

[IRISHBULL]

You're welcome! Yes, he's definitely been humbled and that's a good thing.. I like the way he's coaching the guys on the Ultimate Fighter show..

[BlackThought]

[Joe1984]

Here's an inverted triangle.

[Joe1984]

"Twister" submission move. Never saw this before.

[benzdealeror2]

Saw it. Kevin Burns nearly ruined his career. Messed up decision on that one.

Check out what Hardy is saying.

UFC Fight Night 24
Johnson will be seeing three of me - Hardy
ESPN staff
Anthony Johnson will be punch-drunk - Hardy

For all the latest UFC talking points, including the lowdown on Jon Jones and an exclusive with Michael Bisping, don't miss our weekly ESPN UFC Podcast

Dan Hardy is not concerned whether Anthony Johnson is suffering ring rust or if he has tendencies to deliver an unintentional eye-poke, because he is convinced the American will be outclassed at UFC Fight Night 24.

Johnson has not fought since November 2009, but Hardy is refusing to predict what effect that will have on their welterweight war. "He can either be in great shape because he's had time to work on new stuff, or he might have sat watching the Simpsons eating doughnuts for 15 months. It's a mystery," he told ESPN.

Rumble Johnson has also delivered eye pokes against Josh Koscheck and Kevin Burns, costing him the fight with Burns in 2008. "I can fight with one eye and I always keep my fists clenched, so he's got no worries of me poking him in the eye," Hardy quipped.

http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/story/78701.html

[SIIX]

i think with the open finger gloves an eye poke would be very easy to disguise.. i remember watching a guy jab with an open hand one time thinking 'that looks very intentional' lol

if im not mistaken, it was this Johnson guy that's fighting hardy that got his eye poked. i cant remember the out come tho.. u see that fight?

[benzdealeror2]

That would be intentional and DQ'd though I bet it's been tried. Hell, Tyson bites off ears. lol

[SIIX]

Interesting stuff. If someone is getting their ass kicked they could poke the other guy in the eye and call it draw lol.

[benzdealeror2]

A NC is typically when a accidental illegal blow renders the opponent unable to continue.

Not to be confused with an intentional illegal blow that results in a DQ.

Up to the referee.

[Joe1984]

i guess they ruled it intentional. it was a disqualification i believe. he intentionally hit him with '12 to 6' elbows.

[SIIX]

i didnt know that, i thought matt hamill got the win when jones elbowed him.

[Joe1984]

yeah, it's basically a draw.
