Chuck look really good in the beginning, mixing it up with leg kicks and takedown but he just got wild at the end. I feel really bad for Chuck, it seem like he was doing everything right to get his game back.

It was at least nice to see Cro Cop get a win, plus submisssion of the night. :lol:
 
Good night of fights overall. Condit/MacDonald was a war and easily FOTN. I agree though with the ref stopping it where he did. Seemed like a dumb move.

Cro Cop/Barry was a blast. Awesome to see Cro Cop choke Barry out right near the end. Both guys got some nice shots in throughout the fight. I think Barry could've finished it early in the first, but he seemed hesitant.

Chuck/Rich was great just because I love seeing Liddell get laid out flat on his ass. He needs to take his glass jaw and hit the bricks. Dudes done.

Only three more weeks until Carwin gets his face smashed in by Lesnar.
 
Great night of fights IMO. I loved the Cro-Cop / Barry fight.

[quote name='mmajunkie.com']Rich Franklin, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, Carlos Condit and Rory MacDonald each earned $85,000 fight-night bonuses for their performances at Saturday's "UFC 115: Liddell vs. Franklin" event.

Franklin earned the "Knockout of the Night" award, Filipovic earned the "Submission of the Night bonus, and Condit and MacDonald both earned "Fight of the Night" honors. [/quote]

If you watched the post-fight press conference on ufc.com, Cro-Cop looks like a goddamned ogre compared to everyone else.
 
I really loved the fights. Franklin and Cro Cop getting KO/Sub of the night were two of the last things I expected but totally awesome.
 
Chuck is finally done, there is no way Dana lets him back in the cage. Gutsy move by Franklin fighting with a broken arm.

Pat Barry just seemed to shut down after the first round. I was not expecting to see a submission in that fight at all
 
I was just checking the schedule .. tons of MMA activity this week. Strikeforce on Wednesday, Bellator on Thursday, TUF on Saturday, and then WEC and Sengoku on Sunday.
 
Wasn't originally interested in the card, but that was a damn good PPV, and maybe one of the best I've seen in a while. So glad Crocop got the win, shocked it was a submission.. Can't wait for 116

[quote name='paz9x']have you guys seen this?
im buying it for the cover.

ahahahaha...that's hilarious! Forrest has always been a funny dude. I just wish he'd work on his fighting a little more.

Actually, I was wondering if anybody had seen this.

http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pain-B...ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1276676296&sr=8-2

I noticed it on Redbox's "coming soon" last night, and I had to go back and rent it today. I hadn't seen a "true MMA" movie yet, and while it's not great by any means, I thought it was entertaining...and has a good amount of fighters in it. I think this was their formula for the movie: fighting + awesome exotic cars + softcore porn = BADASS. And if that was their goal...well, mission accomplished, lol.
 
[quote name='Ugamer_X']Excellent Strikeforce card tonight, good fights all around.

Noons-Heun was one of the better fights of the year.[/QUOTE]
Every fight was exciting. I loved Noons-Heun and Babalu-Lawler.
 
[quote name='5of9']Yager goes down! Thank you MMA gods.[/QUOTE]


What was I thinking betting on his side in hopes of a crazy kick? I shoulda known from the regular season that he's a punk. :bomb:
 
Hey ben, long time no see :wave: (She's reffed for WEC a few times before)

I need Fisher to get a unanimous decision to put me back on track to win some dinero.

Hey Mak, yeah it's been a while :wave:

Ahh, I've not seen much WEC.

I'd like to see Fisher win this one, it's been a good fight so far.
 
fuck. I need Fisher to get a takedown here or something or else Siver is gonna win this round. My buddy predicted split decision and if he gets that I'm done for the night.
 
[quote name='benjamouth']Oh well, hope you're not down too much Mak.[/QUOTE]


Nah that was ok because I got the points for a unanimous decision without my buddy getting points for a split decision or picking the winner. Although we both shared points for the round/minute.
 
I really like court, glad to see him win that fight. I felt goign into the fight that despite mccray winning the fights to make the final, he didnt deserve to be there. I think court showed that. Im still suprised at the mccray/noke fight. noke is a lot better than that fight.
 
Any word from Dana on Jardine's future? Think they will cut him after four consecutive losses? I'd hate to see the guy go cause he's fun to watch win or lose, but other fighters have been axed for losing a lot less.
 
[quote name='dkreegz515']i don't think jamie varner won any round of that fight...[/QUOTE]

as the fight ended i thought for sure varner won the fight. in hindsight i can certainly see how every one of the judges scored the fight.
 
Very happy to see Mcgee and Mcray in the final both fighters showed tons of heart in the show.

Anttonio did well in riding the storm of Yager's strikes in the first and once again Yager gassed in the 2nd and Anttonio takes advantage. Siver did a good job of avoiding the left of Fischer mixing it up with kicks and punches. Leben kept the calm of a veteran in the 1st and turned Atrain into a heavy bag. Jardine vs Hamil was a war and rightfully earned fight of the night!

Mcgree used his strikes and did a great job of controlling Mccray on the ground winning by sub. Very emotional during his speech and why not he earned the contract coming back from being clinically dead from a drug overdose in his rough past. Completely turned his life around and is now TUF champion congrats Court!

MMA live showed Florian and Torres are not great predictors, I think Florian had the only correct guess with taking Mcgree.

Currently watching WEC wow Wineland absolutely crumpled Campuzano with that right to the body! Horodecki nearly had Downes in the first, came out strong in the 2nd then finally got the sub in the 3rd. Nice double leg by LC, Grispi locks in a guillotine chock and good night Mr. Davis. Koch gets a triangle and hits Casimir with an elbow before tightening the choke to get the sub.

Jabouin vs Hominck is very close going into the 2nd lots of strikes in the first round by both fighters. Hominick folds Jabouin with a hard left to the body Hominick comes in with strikes Jabouin gets back his composure and knocks Hominick flat with a right hand you have to be kidding me! This fight is nuts! Jabouin moves against Hominick who scrambles to get on top. Hominick gets the mount and pounds away with both hands until ref stoppage. Damn what a great fight!


My DVR cut off just before the start of Varner vs. Shalorus. :censored::censored::censored:fuckfuckfuck

According to Sherdog, it ending up being a draw?

I know how you feel man. The last round was cut off for me. I thought the Varner fight was really good except for the low blows. WEC just keeps putting on great shows
 
Pavel beat me to it. Man, this sucks. I was really looking forward to that fight. Still a great card, though. I'm excited about Sotiropoulos vs Pellegrino and Lytle vs Brown.


 
Anyone else going to the Fedor fight this weekend? I'm heading out to the Bay tonight so I can see the weigh-ins tomorrow. I can't wait 'til Saturday! Going to be my first major MMA event I attend.

Awesome. It would be great to see a Fedor fight for my first live event. I've only been to small shows here in Texas, and when UFC 105 tickets went on sale for Dallas, they were sold out before they were even available to the general public so I had no chance. Enjoy the fight!
