Strikeforce is like a cockroach that won't die. They are promising a stacked card in January though. Hopefully, that means Cormier vs. Overeem with the winner being #1 contender for the HW title. Anything less would be uncivilized.

I'm going Silva by decision tonight btw...

Yea they keep pushing "the biggest upset ever" card so much it's been jinxed. I see it going a few rounds though..i'll say 3rd round ko. Silva will want it to go more than one round to entertain his home crowd. But im sure he'd love a KO.

That neck crank was nasty, Story started bleeding from his mouth and then the crowd were chanting ECW I think :lol:

Wow how'd Fitch get out of that

loved the Bonnar reaction to the knee

Good god I hope Maldonado isnt brain damaged after that

Awesome card. Fitch brought it, loved seeing Herman tap and Silva is without a doubt the G.O.A.T

Silva takes a moment to tell his corner to calm down, he hangs out for one more second and then unleashes the fucking fury to finish Bonanr = the most ridiculous perfomance I ever witnessed.

I'm not fond of these soccer type crowds for fights. It messes with the dynamic. I like the normal crowds when they go crazy with anticipation of a knock-out instead of being in awe.

I hate crowds that chant boring when it isn't really boring.

Jon Jones and Sonnen are the coaches of TUF 17 and will fight April 17th according to LA Times

Dunno if Sonnen/Griffin is still goin ahead or what

TUF ratings blow so I guess they're going to try to up it with Jones and Sonnen. Not really mad as I think both guys bring a refreshing dynamic as coaches and personalities. It's the actual TUF competitors that I don't give a shit about. The talent pool is so watered down at this point and I can only watch a bunch of dudes who will never amount to anything in the UFC live in a house, train and fight for so long.

The actual fight is kind of a joke though. Sonnen is going to get knocked the fuck out and I don't care about how good his takedowns are. Jones is too big, long and strong for Chael to dominate him like he did Silva in their first fight.

I feel like the UFC has stretched itself to the point where it's gone from logical matchmaking and clear cut contenders to WWE style matchmaking and squash matches. Vitor gave it a good try, but had no business fighting Jones. Bonnar had no business fighting Silva. If Sonnen didn't have a mouth, no one would be happy seeing this fight based on Sonnen's record and style. Even his trash talk is pretty much the same old ish repeated.

All true but I don't see a problem with it right now. Sonnen and Jones are 2 of their top drawers in the company..people will pay for the fight..and the rating for TUF will increase . Really a win win.

Only letdown for me is the hype for a Bones/Silva matchup now taking a backseat. Come to think of it what if they would have done a Sonnen/Hendo coaching season and the winner would be #1 contender? That might've been good too

Dan Henderson ‏@danhendo
I guess I should just quit training to win fights and to be exciting for the fans and just go to shit talking school. @danawhite

I thought Hendo and Sonnen were bezzies?

So was Jon Jones and Rashad Evans. 13 pounds of Gold can make the worst enemies out of the closest of teammates.

That's what's interesting and confusing now. Sonnen fights under the "Team Quest" banner, which Hendo started with Couture, but there are actually two incarnations of Team Quest. One is Hendo's, the other is Matt Lindland's. They even have two separate websites and rosters.

Chael fights under Matt Lindland's brand and Hendo is actually suing Lindland over the name and trademark because although Lindland joined them shortly after Couture and Hendo started the team and opened a gym with their blessing, he apparently trademarked the name without their knowledge or approval.

In hindsight, were they really that tight? Now Jones is pretty much saying the same ish about fighting Anderson that he said about fighting Rashad and they don't even train in the same city or live in the same country most of the time!

I can understand 38 year old Anderson Silva not wanting to fight a bigger, faster, stronger and younger version of himself (especially when he's only got two fights left on his current deal and could potentially slay one more Middleweight and GSP before retiring or sticking Dana up for more money), but Jones can't seriously call himself a business man and not want to take on the Greatest of All Time.

Imagine the paycheck and the publicity/hype that Nike would give to him if that fight were to take place in Texas Stadium. It would be one of the most profitable events in the history of all combat sports and probably end up second only to Pacquiao/Mayweather.

By the way, notice how you don't get this kind of insight or knowledge dropped on you by csl.

I don't want to expound any further on Suga/JBJ. I'll let them demons rest right where they are.

As far as CSL...pfft. Comparing the two of you is like comparing a match to a volcano. and he's not the volcano!

Bellator starts doing live shows on Spike in 3 months..

WOO
