Hunt can take a punch, but I think JDS will fucking slaughter him.
Good knock out against Struve and all, but he isn't in the same class as JDS

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Regardless of what happens, I think he deserves this chance in the spotlight. I expect he'll lose, but I expected him to lose the last couple times as well. I just hope he puts on a good show. At 38 this is probably as high as he's going. He's been great fun to watch.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Happy to reconfirm GSP is the most boring fighter in the UFC. He now owns the record for the most consecutive time spent in the cage without a finish. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Next TUF season sounds great - female coaches, female fighters sharing the house with male fighters.

Yep, GSP impressively good at what he does but also pretty boring to watch. And Diaz confirmed as the biggest spanner in the UFC. First Jake Shields was complaining about GSP's strapping, then Diaz did absolutely nothing except try to punch after the end of each round, then he retires again, then he complains that someone spied on his awesome new knee roll technique, then he demands a rematch, then he tells the assembled press that he's never paid any taxes. WTF?
And I'm sorry but the big announcement of the next TUF season gets a yawn from me. I'll probably still watch but it doesn't sound that interesting. Chuck that transgender fighter in there as a wildcard to mix it all up.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
JDS way too good.
awesome to see rob whittaker win his first UFC fight, dunno what the story was with his low left arm but he looked great!
I like his style, slipping out of range and timing the counter as he back away, reminded me of chuck liddell a little.

Whittaker kept his arm down to deal with any takedowns from Smith. Smart given Smith's wrestling pedigree.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
he stuffed all take downs easily so it worked, it can't have felt natural so he did pretty well to follow the game plan.
hope he does well in the UFC

Silva's showboating finally comes back to bite him on the butt. Not quite as hilarious as when Bigfoot crushed Overeem but he asked for it.

Overeem should be finished up in the UFC now, also wouldn't be suprised if he's back on the PEDs as he's got (most) of his size back.
Sonnen submission on Shogun was great

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
I remember when silva did that front kick and Joe Rogan said he hadn't seen a kock out from a front kick before... now we have just seen one from a heavyweight!
awesome stuff, suck shit to overeem... he had been a flop in the UFC
Don't like sonen but credit for that win, he fights the tough guys so you can't knock him

PETTIS!!!!!!!!!!
Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Mir fight stoppage was ridiculous, he went a bit floppy but at the same time he was going for the legs of the other guy to cover up. You don't get up like he did if it was in heaps of trouble, going by that stoppage Lesnar would never have beaten Carwin etc. Pettis was on a mission, that armbar looked nasty, Henderson jumping around after he tapped like he was training and just reset I don't think could believe how quick he was done.

Mir was going to lose, but the stoppage was a bit premature. Not sure why there's a rookie ref in a big fight like that.....
Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
He probably was going to lose but the stoppage was so early we'll never know.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Did anyone else catch the first ep of the new season of TUF? I think it could be interesting, the house antics. Will be interesting to see how some obviously machismo type men handle getting coached by a woman.
Maybe one or two good fights to get into the house but no one was really stand out amazing. Huge crowd to watch people get into the house, Josh Sammon was there... I wish Uriah Hall had a chance to fight him... God I wanted to see Uriah smash his douchey face in...

Jones/Gustaffson one of the best fights I ever saw.
Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Yep, the fitness of those two is just phenomenal
