Yeah, Shogun sucked in that fight. That was one of the biggest disappointments in a long time for me. He wasn't in good shape at all. I'm sure all that time off didn't help him much either. I hated that fight. I was so pissed.I think Machida is just better all around considering how well Griffin did against Rua last year.
Machida was sitting on two icepacks right after the 1st round.I haven't seen the fights yet, but i heard that my boy Shogun was robbed.
Did he kick the crap out of that lead leg like i was hoping he would?
How were the rest of the fights? Were they any good? I heard that Rumble made short work of the Japanese guy that i wanted to win.
Didnt Koscheck knock him the f out too... like a really nasty, hands down, dazed crack to the jaw, brutal, drain bamage style KO... and he doesn't have half the standup power or agression of Johnson.Machida was sitting on two icepacks right after the 1st round.
It was comical.
The Japanese fighters were especially pathetic. For some reason, I decided to talk sheeyat about Asian fighters, and then the guy fighting Johnson decided to play punching bag. I made a joke about how this is the first Asian not to kick in a fight.
Fisher was a blood bath. He got caught in a crucifix style mount and ate a few dozen elbows to the eye socket. It was nasty.Didnt Koscheck knock him the f out too... like a really nasty, hands down, dazed crack to the jaw, brutal, drain bamage style KO... and he doesn't have half the standup power or agression of Johnson.
I didn't see any of this, but it sounds like Rua did well... hopefully there will be a rematch.
Wasn't Spencer Fisher on the card? How was that fight?
Hate seeing people getting crucified... that has got so suck more than any other position in MMA. Almost can't even tap if you needed to cuz your hands are trapped.Fisher was a blood bath. He got caught in a crucifix style mount and ate a few dozen elbows to the eye socket. It was nasty.
Rumble Johnson is HUGE. 6 pounds over at the weigh in, he was cutting from 220! That's nuts, but he said he had an injury early, so he had a tougher time with the cut.He looked awesome in the fight, all 20 seconds of it or whatever it ended up being.
Machida's legs were on fire after the first round, he had a huge target on his left rib cage, and very little spring. I thought he did well overall, but I would have to count shots. Joe Rogan kept pointing out the mid shots Rua was throwing, but the replays showed simultaneous face shots by Machida. I think a rematch will be awesome, though.
It was a great fight until he got caught. The right side of his face was a mess. He took quite a few elbows before they called it.Hate seeing people getting crucified... that has got so suck more than any other position in MMA. Almost can't even tap if you needed to cuz your hands are trapped.
Just read that there will likely be an immediate rematch. So looks lke Rua will probably get another title shot against Machida before anyone else does.
He has the Gorilla Flu?Brock Lesnar is out of UFC 106 due to sandy vag.

I disagree about how severe the Machida's beating was.I just watched the fights. Man, Shogun kicked the crap out of Machida. He didn't even look like he fought. Machida was all cut up. Machida should've lost that fight. That decision was horrible.
Yeah, Yoshida should've shot in on Johnson. That would've been his only chance. And yah, koscheck did knock yoshida the eff out a while back.
I read that about brock today. That sucks. I really wanted to see Carwin kick his a$$. Brock is afraid to get hit by those laptop sized hands that Carwin has.
I disagree about how severe the Machida's beating was.
While he lost, many of the exchanges were close. Rua would land a good kick but Machida would counter with a shot to the head.
same here, he always brings itMatt Brown should be a good fight, too. I like his style.
I don't have the staying power to watch the replay of the Couture-Vera match. It sounds like a good fight though.
