TheBeard 261 Posted March 3, 2014 Anyone catch the TUF china finale? I know the results just didn't know if it was on tv. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 3, 2014 It was on Fight Pass so I didn't bother with it. I did see this GIF from the main event though: Probably the most perfectly landed spinning back elbow in MMA to date. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I know It was a while back, but I finally got around to uploading one of my vids from UFC on fox 9. Sorry I'm Way late. Edited March 7, 2014 by ILAK 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 7, 2014 Just watching that video gets me pumped up. I've still never been to a live UFC event. Solid fights on early tomorrow followed by GLORY kickboxing later in the evening. Both should be good events. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 7, 2014 Yea, On fight pass though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solid fights on early tomorrow followed by GLORY kickboxing later in the evening. Both should be good events. I got to see a fight night live. It was kampman vs condit as the main event. It was fun to go to but I found myself watching the jumbo tron a lot. I was about 6 rows off the floor and couldn't see much of what was going on during any grappling exchanges. Still I'm glad I got to see one live. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 7, 2014 Yea, On fight pass though. If you're comfortable with streams (I know you said you stream most PPVs) I know a really good site that'll be showing the entire card. I don't usually like streaming personally because my internet can't seem to handle it so there's a lot of skipping/lagging, but I've used this website for the past two events and have had no issues with lagging at all. I'll PM the link if you want it. Also, not sure if you're into GLORY kickboxing, but that'll be live on Spike TV at 8 PM EST. Just watching that video gets me pumped up.

Yeah, I always figured I'd be looking up at the big screen if I were to watch an event in person, but just being in the arena and feeling the electricity from the crowd would get my adrenaline pumping and make it so much more intense for me.

I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 7, 2014 PM me. And watching fights is a lot easier on TV that is for sure. But the way I look at it is this. UFC comes to Sacramento maybe once every 5 years. I can watch plenty on TV but to feel the excitement and electricity is totally worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 7, 2014 I'm with you there. PM incoming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeard 261 Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah when buffer did the "we are live" crowd got loud. Rampage was in the crowd signing autographs. I won the tickets the day of the event while at work and missed the prelims though. I would like to see one live in Vegas. Think the crowd would be more into it.

I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 8, 2014 Gus made that look pretty easy. Manuwa threw some good punches but he is just no match for Gus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 8, 2014 I'd like to see Gus vs. DC at this point. Winner of that gets the winner of Jones/Teixeira. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBeard 261 Posted March 9, 2014 While I like dc vs Gus you burn a contender in that match. After those 2 there's a drop in talent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 9, 2014 winning a title isn't suppose to be easy though. to be the best you have to beat the best. Gus lost a title shot beats someone up who really wasnt on his level and get another title shot? nah DC wins one LHW fight against literally a fast food employee and gets a title shot? nah I think both should get one more big win for a Title shot and if its each other...So be it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 9, 2014 Either of you guys watch the GLORY event last night? I was pretty surprised to see Ristie go down. Such a great fight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeard 261 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) @ilak agreed that dc lhw debut was against a bum but I'm taking into account his wins at hw as well. He's beat Bigfoot, Barnett, Mir, & big country. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch as much fighting as I would have liked. I got so far behind on TUF nations that I quit following it. Just finished watching bellator with rampage yesterday. The talk leading up to rampage vs king mo is going to be better than the fight itself. I'll have to try and record glory next time it's on. I know nothing about the fighters. Would be a good watch though. Gus looked really sharp on that finishing exchange. Edited March 9, 2014 by TheBeard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 9, 2014 I watched a little of the Glory stuff last night. I watched the last round of the Cro Cop fight. That is some good sh*t. very exciting and very fast. Im going to tune in next time its on. And yea TUF Nations is kind of sh*t. Ill watch the next regular TUF and then the Fall TUF with Pettis coaching against Melendez. The only thing that worries me is TUF exposing a side of Pettis that I hate and me not liking him anymore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 9, 2014 I almost never tune in to TUF, but I probably will for the Pettis/Melendez season for two reasons: I'm a big fan of both of those guys, and because the winner of the season will be crowned champion of the division. Not to mention there's some pretty bad ass chick fighters taking part in the season. Should be some great fights. Andy Ristie vs. Davit Kiria was a very good fight from GLORY last night. Ristie dominated in the early going and even scored a knockdown on Kiria in the first round. By the third round though Ristie had begun to gas out, and Kiria managed to come back and get the knockout to take the title from Ristie. I don't think anyone expected that.

I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 10, 2014 Thats another thing. I have a hard time keeping up with all the fighters. Now to try and get to now Glory also?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeard 261 Posted March 11, 2014 TUF changed my opinion of sonnen for the better. Changed my opinion of rousey for the worse. I really hope cyborg can get to 135 pounds and beat rousey up. I think pettis is probably smart enough to not come across bad on the show. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 11, 2014 Same way Beard. hated Sonnen, love him now. Liked Rousey, hate her now. Sonnen really probably was the best Coach in the history of the show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeard 261 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm excited for tonight's fights. Here's Brett okamoto's breakdown of the main and comain. http://m.espn.go.com/extra/mma/notebook?page=UFC_171_preview Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm excited as well. Such a great card with a few fights I've been waiting seemingly forever to watch. Here's hoping that Lawler is able to knock Hendricks' head off, though I'm sure it'll be the other way around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 16, 2014 Great event overall. I don't suppose you guys make official predictions for the events? I'm pretty off and on about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeard 261 Posted March 16, 2014 I use to do the ufc fantasy fight predictions but haven't in a while. Good fights overall. Heard the prelims where good but were on fox sports2 and didn't get to see them. I can't stand woodley now for his post fight comments. Saying you meant to win the fight by your opponent getting injured is complete bs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Love Anna Kournikova 1,979 Posted March 17, 2014 Best card yet this year. I saw someone on another site post this: "Hendricks won the Decision, Lawlor won the fight" one of Hendricks excuses after the GSP fight was "Look at his face and look at mine." if we went by that then Lawlor has the belt right now. Not saying Hendricks should have lost, because he clearly won IMO. But its kind of showing Hendricks true colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3BB13 137 Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, as the fight was over and everyone was awaiting the decision I sent a buddy of mine a message saying: "well, Hendricks' face is a lot more beat up than Robbie's so by Hendricks' own logic Robbie should be champ." Hopefully now Hendricks will have the opportunity to see how difficult it is to hold onto a belt for several years. Maybe then he'll be able to understand why he should have never disrespected GSP after their fight. There's no way Johny will ever have that belt nearly as long as GSP.
