My picks: Jones, Benavidez, Stann, Hammill, Oliveira, Magalhaes, Dunham
i would love to see stann ko bisping but i have a feeling bisping will win a dec.
Is it weird that Im equally (If not more) excited about seeing Vinny as I am about seeing jones? I just feel like every time Magalhaes gets in there.. Theres a good chance that we'll see some high level 10th planet in the octagon. Which is always awesome
I think a lot of us are excited for his return :)Quote:

i'm inclined to agree, i just finished watching that first fight, but he did get dropped hard more than once, just throwing it out there :)Quote:

Still havent seen a second round. Off to a good start.
i wanted the see brenneman fight but i missed it, he also got screwed with the rumble stoppage. i know he took a headkick and went down but i thought he was alright
In this one he got dropped started to shoot but got nailed with another shot so ended up on his butt. Ate a couple more shots then went into wrestling mode right and shot for the legs again right when the ref stepped in.Quote:

Viiiinnnyyyy :) Muahahaha
Holy crapsickles. Vinny fight was awesome :D
War Vinny!!!!!!!!!!!
Vinished him.
*Great return for Vinny. Beautiful armbar!
*Bisping did exactly what I expected he would do. Point fought 3 rounds but hey that was his game plan and you gotta give him props for being able to do what he wanted to do.
*Mighty Mouse deserved that win. Im surprised it was a slpit decision. Totally thought it was over after Benavidez snatched up that mounted guilly
Today is a sad day for MMA...Demetrious Johnson is Flyweight champion of the world. I had Beneveides taking the split.
OMG, Vitor needs the rubber guard so bad!! It would be savin him from those elbows.
Holy armbar from vitor. I was so pumped for Him to finish.
What fight were you watching?Quote:

vinnys armbar was sick, sub of the night imo
mighty mouse looked fresh at the end of the fight while benavidez looked beat up, i had MM winning
if vitor got the armbar, o man that would have blew shit up!
rewatching the fights this morning :) Hettes got popped by a Hard straight right from Brimage midround 1, looks a littled slower since that shot he took, Hettes takes top position a couple times, slips in the body triangle but can't seem to find the finish, good cardio for Brimage looks like it allows him to defend easier and avoid mistakes which would lead to a submission
Hettes looks tired, Brimage looks fresher after 2
I also had Mighty Mouse winning it 49-46 and was a little disappointed. Johnson was just entirely too quick and smart for Benavidez. Im just glad MM didnt keep doing what he was doing the first 2 rounds. It looked like a points karate tournament. I think after Joe knocked him down and almost finished with that guilly, it woke him up and he decided to fight. Alpha male..the best team to not obtain a UFC championship.
The Vitor that I thought would show up did. Being a Carlson Gracie bb you would think his jiu jitsu would be legit and as long as Jones' limbs are he should be able snatch up multiple submissions. Then again Vitor has never been known for his ground game and hes not wearing the pajamas so it makes since.
Great return for Vinny. Jon Jones next!

He won the grappling, edged Benavides out on strikes, and clearly dealt more damage and took far less.
I thought a split was insulting.
yeah, unfortunately Uriah and other former WEC champs don't get the credit/recognition they could be getting had the UFC brought over the 145's and 135's a little earlier - the Jose Aldo vs Uriah Faber war was a clinic on how kicks could make a huge difference in a fight - Aldo literally stamped his style on Faber that night with kicksQuote:

back on topic, i think Pierson had a chance to finish Benoist in the first after he rocked him but didn't jump on it
clearly Shang Tsung was not ringside for that fight so it went to the judges and just like anything you start to create and don't finish, someone else decides your fate - finish or live w the consequences (until the judging improves anyways) :)Quote:
