Holy..

Russow just absorbed all of the punches that Duffee threw. Duffee was faster, stronger, and more fit.. but he wore himself out and Russow.. Out of nowhere! Amazing. That was sick. It was a terrible fight, but that knockout was fantastic. Just.. BAM!

"The greatest one punch knockout in the history of the sport!"

He reminds me of Kimbo. Huge muscles, ripped, knockout ability but tires really quick. He seems to have alot better takedown defense though

I actually think Rashad is far more cocky than Rampage. Rampage says a lot of shit, but most of the time, you can tell he's joking around. Rashad always seems dead serious.

I disagree. I think Rashad is disrespectful. Rampage was doing it to get inside his head, but I think Rashad generally disrespects all of his opponents. But hey, you like who you like. I'm just hoping for a good fight.

agreed. i hope theyre both at the top of their game for this one that way no excuses from either side.
 
Terrible fight. Not even upset that Rampage lost, but neither of them lived up to all the shit talking they did. Rashad just leaned on Rampage the entire fight, and Rampage had a chance to end it and just stopped. Neither of these guys is ready for Shogun.

I agree with everything you said there. I also haven't cussed a fighter so much as I just did when Rampage let Evans back up and gave him time to recover.
 
i just knew rampage was about to finish him off but he let me down. Definitely wasn't that great of a fight. about 13 minutes of leaning on rampage against the cage, 1 minute of rashad dancing around, 30 seconds and circling each other touching hands, and 30 seconds of decent punching

Yeah, when Rashad went down, I uncontrollably jumped out of my seat. Herb Dean looked so close to stopping the fight too. Then Rampage stops punching, and puts his arm over Rashad's head, allowing him to scoot out. It didn't make any sense at all. Then when Rashad got the takedown, I walked out of the room. Rashad "controlled" the fight, but all you can really say is that he may have just invented "lean & pray". Lackluster fight all around.
 
[quote name='billyrox']Glad Rampage lost.. he was an idiot in TUF[/QUOTE]

Rampage was essentially playing a character on TUF. He was humble in defeat tonight. That's all that matters.

and if hed won how do you think he would have acted?
 
[quote name='lokizz']and if hed won how do you think he would have acted?[/QUOTE]

I don't think he would have talked shit. I really don't. It's not like either of these guys is Paul Daley. They're professionals. They've both lost fights before. I've had this discussion a million times with people about the difference between before the fight and after the fight. Before the fight, basically anything goes. It's all part of the psychological game. After the fight, you're not competing anymore. That's why I didn't like Lesnar's post fight rant the last time he beat Mir. It was unprofessional.
 
Anyone who thinks Rampage is a Jerk or Unprofessional hasn't followed his career. He's essentially a clown who can work a crowd and hype a fight. Look for some of his Interviews from 5-10 years ago. He's admitted himself that he hates training and was able to get by in Pride with his power and natural talent. As he gets older he says he's training Harder but who knows what he's basing that on. Rampage the fighter and Quinton the man are two different people. I love em both.
 
Crappy night of fights overall.

Rashad won't beat Shogun, Shogun is better at everything (except Wrestling) than Rashad, and the speed won't be a huge difference. Plus, Rashad can't take a punch.

Rampage should have finished him when he had the chance. Rashad was never going to do anything other than lean on Rampage and wait for a decision.
 
Definitely not a "crappy night of fights". What makes it crappy? They all went the distance? Just becuase every fight didn't have a highlight KO or sub does not make the fights suck.

Diego/Hathaway was an awesome way to open the show. I definitely want to see more of Hathaway after he completely picked apart Diego.

Nog/Brilz was my FOTN. The battle on the ground these two had was so much fun to watch. Brilz got completely robbed though. No way he should've lost that fight. He pushed the pace and dominated those first two rounds.

Russow/Duffee was pretty bad, I'll give you that. Duffee got tired way too fast which worked in favor of Russow. The KO was awesome and completely unexpected, but everything prior to that was boring.

Miller/Bisping was a good fight, albeit I'm not sure what the hell Dans gameplan was. When you have such a good ground game and are known for your subs, why on earth would you stand and bang with a guy the entire fight and go for like one takedown and zero submissions? Like Bisping and Rogan, I figured he was setting him up for a takedown in round two, but I guess not.

Rampage/Rashad was pretty good, but not as good as I'd hoped. Fight was over when Rashad landed that punch like 15 seconds in. Rampage had a VERY good shot to end it when he pummeled him on the ground, but he decided to let him recover for a good 90 seconds. I have no clue what was going through Rampages head during that time. You can tell Rashad has taken some notes from GSP. Nothing like cage fucking a guy most of the fight. I'd love to see a rematch somewhere down the line, though I'm not sure how much 'Page has left.

Overall, fun night of fights. It wasn't one of the best UFC shows ever, but it was far from crappy. Now the wait begins for Carwin/Lesnar (fuck Liddell/Franklin).
 
Diego vs Hathaway was a decent fight. Nog/Brizl was pretty good as well, is was an easy pick for FOTN since everything else was poor.

Duffe and Russow was awful. Bisping and Miller wasn't much better, neither guy seemed interested in trying to do much of anything all fight.

Rashed and Rampage had about two flashes of excellence (Rashad's early punch, Rampage's in the 3rd) but the rest was boring with Rashad just leaning on Rampage.

I do agree that Carwin/Lesnar is going to be epic. I love Lesnar but he is in trouble with this fight. Liddel vs. Franklin holds no interest for most of the public, I am still surprised they are going with that as the main event.

Seriously. Cut him? What the fuck is wrong with you dude? He got tired and lost a fight to a lucky punch. That's definitely grounds for Dana cutting a good heavyweight prospect.

:roll:
 
Except for the fact that he's not that good and is extremely one dimensional. Despite the hype blowjob he received from Goldberg and Rogan, I saw nothing to be impressed with. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he's still reasonably young. But based on the way he looks and the way he fights, I'd say his priorities are out of whack. Gas can. It's my opinion. If you don't like it, blow me.

Oh hey look everybody it's Nate overreacting and looking like an ass again. How do you know Duffee is one dimensional? Seriously, he's had a whopping 2 fights in the UFC and has NEVER been on the fucking mat during a fight, NOT ONCE. How do you know what his ground game is like, is his wrestling good, what about his BJJ? He had no reason to take the fight to the ground last night when he was winning the standup battle, truth is none of us know much about him yet, it's too early to make any definitive claims one way or the other. He is 24 years old for fuck's sake!!! I swear the way you always write people off so soon makes me wish you were the president of a high profile MMA promoter, you would be a bigger piece of shit at it than Scott Coker.

I am just glad that Duffee is the next one on your list though, you've moved on from your "Shogun is one of the most overrated fighters ever" and "Cain Velasquez hits like a girl" phase. I am eagerly anticipating who is next on your hitlist after Duffee lol.
 
Brillz got the shaft.. He definitely won that fight in my eyes. Oh well, like rogan said at the end of the fight.. he proved he can hang in there against some decent competition and I'm sure he's gained a lot of fans from the fight. Just sucks it won't show up in the win column
 
Actually, I never said anything about Shogun. Your homo-inbred instincts to rush to your brother's aid are causing you to make up shit again. I will cop to Velasquez though. He surprised me. Duffee gassed last night and lost to a nobody. There's no disputing that. I don't get why it upsets you so much though. Unless your last name is Duffee and your raging familial hard on is compelling you to spring into action to defend him too. Otherwise, just fucking ignore it and get off my dick. I don't give two shits about you. Why do you care about me?

I try to resist but I just have to respond to insanely inept stupid people so I had to respond. For someone who pretends to know so much about MMA you are wrong about so much crap it blows my mind. You overreact to everything, calling for fighters to be cut and coming up with cute little nicknames to make fun of them. You think you're clever and funny but in reality you come off as an asshat who doesn't know much of anything. I wish I could cut you from this website.
 
Just watched 114. Duffee kinda reminded me of Mariusz Pudzianowski in his fight vs Sylvia. All those muscles just turning purple and going completely devoid of oxygen. Suprising Russow got that knockout though.

Also, that Lil Nog decision confuses me as much as the Machida decision did when he fought Shogun for the first time. I just don't get it. I can't help but wonder if I'm missing something that true MMA experts are seeing or if its a similar matter of people thinking Jackson Pollock paintings are true art.

This was exactly the fight to expect. The hype may have made you think these two were going to stand and throw, but Rashad is not a stupid fighter (part of the reason he gets the unwarranted hate). Rashad did an amazing job short of the dumb take down that almost ended it for him in the 3rd.

The hate for "leaning" is insane. Rashad was busy the entire fight. Worked an amazingly active clinch and dictated the fight. He let the fight go where he wanted it to go and didn't let the hate or dislike creep in and ruin what was most important --- winning and proving the point.

I'd rather win a billion times instead of getting "one good punch" once.
