MMA Thread the Third

[bono_212]

Wineland is a fireman back home in Indiana where I live and this was probably the only time I was going to get to see him fight live. I imagine he will finally retire after this. Really didn't want to see either Tate win tonight.

 

[deep]

Saunders should have won that last round 10-8.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yay, someone I like finally won!

 

[deep]

UFC wants Tate to lose tonight too.
If it is a decision they will give it to Eye.

 

[bono_212]

I don't see how Eye wins. She's just not THAT good. The ear fight is deceptive because her opponent had cauliflower ear. Watch the fight before it and you'll see a far less dominant Jessica. But Tate clearly has her eyes firmly in Rousey already, and that could be the piece that does her in.

 

[bono_212]

Now the question becomes: Can Danny Castillo still win fights?

 

[deep]

Yes, I think so

i hope you don't want Miller, mofo

 

[IWasBored]

i'm not even interested in hendricks lawler III right now, but at least they had two good, close fights. why the hell would i want to be closer to watching tate get beaten up by rousey a 3rd or 4th or whateverth time?

 

[bono_212]

She's the only person to take her out of the first round, but that fight should have ended in the first round. Tate just gritted her teeth until the bell rang.

If Meisha weren't so catty, I might want to see her get that third try.

 

[bono_212]

I hope that Minority Report show is even a quarter as good as the movie.

 

[bono_212]

Paul Felder messed Castillo up so bad last time they fought.

"I'm the #1 contender because I made it the longest before getting sumitted" is lolz and enough to make me want to see someone else punch her face in.

Absolutely agreed. I just wish there was anyone else I thought could beat her. I want to see Cat fight her again and not be quite so stupid with her approach.

 

[bono_212]

Speaking of arm bars, thought Miller was about to end this quickly.

 

[u2popmofo]

I keep forgetting that this is still the prelims. Stacked card.

 

[bono_212]

The next fight is even better...and it's STILL prelim.

God 190 is gonna suck compared to this.

Dana wants this

Jessica Eye: Ronda Rousey at Madison Square Garden? ‘It just makes sense’ | MMAjunkie

That's why he put her boyfriend on the card. And I believe Tate won't win a decision

 

[IWasBored]

i thought they put caraway on the card because they hate chicago and don't want it to only have nice things.

 

[deep]

Absolutely agreed. I just wish there was anyone else I thought could beat her. I want to see Cat fight her again and not be quite so stupid with her approach.

I think Cyborg will come down to 135 and we could have the biggest fight ever. Put Conor on it and it will set records.

190 does have both nog brothers on the card, which are both going to be 100x the "please retire you've got nothing left to prove" than lauzon vs gomi could even be.

I can't wait for Lauzon Gomi... I mean, they might as well bring their walkers into the ring with them. Fight is HILARIOUS.

UFC 200. There are some awesome predictions out there for that card. And it's far enough in the future that it COULD be in NYC, if they'll just bring it up in February? I think February is the next time new York can allow mma there.

 

[IWasBored]

thought 200 was going to be some fancy unveiling of some fancy new multi-billion dollar new event casino venue thing that's being build in vegas.

ny, cyborg...well at least we got "return of brock lesnar" out of the list of most speculated upon mma topics. ugh.

 

[bono_212]

Oh I forgot about that. You're right.

 

[bono_212]

Man, Miller has pretty great ground defense. My gut says he won, but who knows. Mike and Joe seem to feel otherwise. But every time they were praising Castillo for his kicks, I couldn't help but notice Miller was defending against each and every one of them.

 

[deep]

Conor wants to fight in the Cowboys stadium.
Cyborg can lose to Rousey at 135 and say it was because she was too weak from the cut. Rousey can then retire undefeated, as she keeps saying she wants to do.
Then we can have a legit rematch at 140.

 

[bono_212]

Yesssss

Alpha Fail.

 

[bono_212]

This fight should be super good. Gian's last two fights were performance of the nights, too.

 

[IWasBored]

Yesssss

Alpha Fail.

ok, dominick cruz.

 

[IWasBored]

bringing lawlor back from whatever pro wrestling circus he's been a part of still strikes me as weird.


Or maybe I'm just confused and they never actually got rid of him. Why did I think they cut him like 4 years ago or something and just randomly brought him back now?
