Preliminary Card
* Middleweight bout: Alan Belcher vs. Wilson Gouveia * Lightweight bout: Matt Wiman vs. Shane Nelson * Welterweight bout: Johny Hendricks vs. Ricardo Funch * Middleweight bout: Rousimar Palhares vs. Lucio Linhares * Welterweight bout: DaMarques Johnson vs. Edgar Garcia * Welterweight bout: Kevin Burns vs. TJ Grant
Great card. Main event speaks for itself. Huge fight in the heavyweight division - will decide who is third in line for a(n interim) title shot as the winner will most likely be placed in a number one contership match. We get to see one of the best welterweights around in Fitch. A war will be the outcome between the cardio King Guida and submission specialist Florian - incidently this will also decide who is third in line for a title shot in the lightweight division.
And if all thats not enough, we get to see the worst tatoo in history on Alan Belcher. Poor Johnny Cash.
:^0
On a personal note, Id love to see Garcia punch that**y ar$ehole Johnson's lights out.
I'll be taking the 5/2 about Nightmare taking the belt away from the Prodigy. Its the first time Ill be backing against a title holder in ages.
thought buentello did some good work with the straight punches to the body,bringing his hands 2nd r then switching to the head. forgot all about it 3rd r ...fight was up for grabs at that point,bit odd

stand up quite possibly but mma is more than stand up fighting
Anenome 13 Dec 04:49 How can someone go down from a punch like that.A boxer would rip these jokers up. stand up quite possibly but mma is more than stand up fighting
wow,just watched it now! Bj is unreal,unbeatable at LW,respect!
Not a great night punting but not too bad,backed gouveia and a mir,florian double.
Never backing gouveia again,he gave up once he got hit,pathetic,hope the ufc drop him,fair play to Belcher though,massive improvement since i 1st saw him fight.
Kongo needs to change training camps,the guys at Wolfslair are total dross,massivley under estimated Franks boxing even though it was obvious from his destruction of nog that he had good boxing skills,they just spouted garbage all week on how cheick was "gona break Franks face"
I love Kenflo,it was exactly how i thought it would go,better at the stand up and better on the ground,the nearest thing to a challenger for bj penn.
Well done with the belcher and struve bets funky!
Question here,i was thinking of backing Mir to win by sub what would have happened there cos cheick went to sleep rather than tap,am i right in thinking it would be a TKO?

When the doc came in to look at his cut he let out a massive belch, it's hard to see where he goes from here but he's great entertainment
Clay Guida is so funny When the doc came in to look at his cut he let out a massive belch, it's hard to see where he goes from here but he's great entertainment
He's making serious fighters look completely ordinary and they aren't ordinary.
Feel for Nightmare a bit cause he's got sooo much belief in himself...to get outclassed like that was a bit sad...Maybe it wouldve been best if he BJ had stopped him in the first...rather than let that slow torture go on. Loooved Saulo Ribero on the side...You have to take him down Diego...every round he said that and the poor kid just couldnt.
Speaking about training camps and tactics.....UFC 108 will be awesome..
Rahsad vs Silva...the two best camps in the US go to war. Greg Jackson vs American Top Team.
Think ATT have a little score to settle after GSP manhandled Thiago Alves at 100.
Yep Agree with BJ and Kongo.BJ - Total class.He's making serious fighters look completely ordinary and they aren't ordinary. Feel for Nightmare a bit cause he's got sooo much belief in himself...to get outclassed like that was a bit sad...Maybe it wo
Really wanted to see Semtex punch Condits head off and really establish himself in the division but now he has Hazelett who isnt as big name but a tough fight :(

BJ was too good for Diego, although I thought Diego;s stand up was pretty average, by the 2nd round BJ had the timing down and was slipping the 1-2 with ease. Not too sure who's next for the lightweight king, on last night's evidence they;d all get a similar beatdown.
Frank Mir looks the real deal, with such a victory it adds an interesting dynamic to the title picture. Where they all stand is anyone's guess but a 4 man tournament with Velasquez, Mir, Dos Santos and Carwin would go down a treat, and determine the real number 1 contender.
Regarding the bets nice one Mehmet, another profitable night inc a 6 fold :)
If only my other punting was going as well!
Pretty average card on the whole i thought.BJ was too good for Diego, although I thought Diego;s stand up was pretty average, by the 2nd round BJ had the timing down and was slipping the 1-2 with ease. Not too sure who's next for the lightweight king
A 4 man tournament would be great!! JDS seems to get overlooked though and id say,cane,carwin,mir and nog. Id love to see those fights,really dont know who would win but i defo wouldnt be backing anyone against mir,im really impressed with his attitude and new found determination.
LW is like WW now,the champion is unbeatable,was very impressed with Kenny again,i love the guy and hes by far the best of the rest in the LW division and thats some way off BJ,although i do think Kenflo is still improving.
Just outa interest funky,how do you think the prices will go for semtex and hazelett?

Just watched Dana White's video blog from the weigh in day.
Pretty funny to see all the fighters in a relaxed and laid back mood back stage waiting to get weighed except Sanchez who is in his own world with a constant angry face also still shouting out YES, YES, YES.
:D :D
