Holy fuck

Hit the panic button NOW


The UFC is getting beaten by a fucking JOUSTING show

[Keen]

Though I'd say the only redeemable moment in Iron Man 2 is when Sam Rockwell dances. What a horrible movie.

Scarlett Johansson's ass!! The rest, not so much!



Pretty fun main card!

Barry vs Johnson was pretty fun, except when Barry tried to wrestle.

Paul Harris obvious can, jits doesn't work, etc.

Wasn't paying enough attention to Koscheck Hendricks to call horrible decision one way or the other. Happy Kos lost tho.

209!!!

Hopefully, FOX has a performance clause in their contract that would allow them to cancel the Ultimate, causing Dana to go back to basics and stop diluting his product by flooding the market with absolute shit cards in the name of building a brand. David Meltzer says it best:

In other news. Water is apparently wet!

[Heel]

Holy fuck Hit the panic button NOW

This thread has evolved with the times. We've given up our mainstream dreams and have developed into a niche product just like the Ultimate.

[dream]

That jousting show probably has better character development than the Ultimate.

[Maklershed]

So after Bendo destroys Edgar he fights Nate?

Unrelated: watching LA Confidential makes me realize how desperately I want an LA Noire sequel.

[Heel]

So after Bendo destroys Edgar he fights Nate?

I guess the story now is Nate can either wait for a title shot or fight Pettis. I hope he takes the Pettis fight. It would be fireworks for sure.

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I seen some dude get KTFO last night, some 17 year olds. One was chasing the other then one kid jumped in the air and the other threw a straight right while he was jumping, almost a Super Man Punch and crack dude was done.

The dude that hit him bolted then security tackled one of the dude who was KO'd friends to the ground cause they thought it was him. Hilarious.

Nope, Edgar ekes out a decision and then we get another rematch on Memorial Day Weekend 2013

I'm so sick and tired of Dana promising all of these guys title shots and allowing them to sit out. You've got Condit and Hendricks sitting out at 170, Ellenberger who's probably going to sit out if he beats Kampmann all the while Rory McDonald is being fed C-tier fighters. Now Nate is being allowed to sit out instead of fighting Pettis which is a fight anyone with a brain would want to see. I hope Edgar beats Bendo just to see the look on Dana's face when he has to make a trilogy nobody asked for.

[ChefRamsay]

Hendricks vs. GSP is one of the dumbest ideas Uncle D has had in years. What a shit fight.

We are graced with a fight from Lord Georges twice a year and you want to blow one on a guy who split decision'd Kos... I'd rather see Serra vs. GSP III.

Would dream or anyone else like this code for SpellTower on iOS?

Agreed. What a disaster it causes when when a division is apparently so deep that people sit out for a title shot. Lose and you're a can indeed. Apparently the only direction to go in MMA is up.

they should just get rid of the belts, like boxing does.

Hey they have belts! They just don't matter.

[Ninja Scooter]

Hey they have belts! They just don't matter.

UFC should just have each of their big sponsors have their own belt, so a fighter can come to the ring with 11 belts like Floyd does. You could have Hedricks fight for the TapOut welterweight title while Condit challenges GSP for the Summer's Eve Welterweight title.

[Heel]

Hey they have belts! They just don't matter.

I was very confused when Michael Buffer announced "...the NEW!" champion was actually just Mayweather winning yet another title. Who gets to hold that one?

[Chamber]

The belts aren't the problem, Dana and his big fucking mouth are. The solution at Welterweight is simple enough. Condit/Ellenberger for the fake strap, GSP/Hendricks for the real title, winners fight each other to unify. Keep these guys active and create 3 solid main events in one stroke.

Fucking Dana White.

[Ninja Scooter]

Fucking Dana White.

What is Arianny's favorite past time?

[BigJonsson]

Did Dana muse about Hendricks getting a title shot because he beat Kos??

Video: Ultimate veteran Marcus Davis tests out his ISKA level striking.

Sorry all.. Im just not pulling the trigger like I did even 5 years ago. I have days in the gym where i cant be touched but days where I'm lethargic. Consistency is key to being a professional fighter. My reactions have slowed. I'm not going to make my decision now until I am with my family but this wouldn't have happened 10-5 years ago. Time I think has caught up with me. I will be with my wife tomorrow and we will discuss my career. From the bottom of my heart I thank everyone who has ever supported me... God bless Marcus

Controversy ensues after the elimination fight on tonight’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter Brasil. Find out what causes a post-fight ruckus between Coach Vitor and Coach Belfort tonight at 9pm PT/ Midnight ET: http://www.ufc.com/tuf-brasil-episodes

From UFC's Facebook, must be big fans these social media guys.

Vitor vs Belfort!

[BigJonsson]

His hands are so fast he can fight himself :o

Vitor vs. Vitor's Back

Vitor's so flexible he can suck on his own toes.

Sucks to see him go out like that.

so there's apparently a big UFC announcement happening tomorrow.

Damon Martin from MMAWeekly is being a little tease.

"Just heard some potentially big news. Still digging with my sources. Stay tuned tomorrow. #UFC #MMA"


He rated the news a 6 or 7 based off this scale

"Can we get a big news scale. 1 (being the Canada announcement this year) - 5 (Sonnen/Silva move) - 10 (being strikeforce deal)"



And it's not about Eddie Alvarez. Im secretly hoping the bad fox numbers drove the UFC to sign Fedor. Just dreaming.

[Maklershed]

I hate to sound pessimistic but big UFC announcements are never not disappointing.

[polyh3dron]

Looks like Edgar is injured and won't be ready to fight Bendo at UFC 150.

Best injury news ever.

Rumor is that Nathan Diaz will take his place. Sorry Showtime ):

[Maklershed]

Suhweeeeet!

Signing Fedor is turning it up to 11, friend.

That's going to be a fun fight.

Maybe with there being a fight before Edgar/Bendo II it'll be a little easier to stomach.

We might even end up getting Diaz/Edgar which would be great too.

NY State Assembly Democrats are in conference right now about legalizing MMA. Word is that it could make it out of committee and on to the floor for a straight vote.

Judging from the timing, I'm willing to bet that this is what the "big news" is, and if this dies then there will actually be no "big news".

I actually thought that it was this. Here's hoping.

[Heel]

Updated the schedule.

Looks like that Babalu vs. Bosse card got delayed until June. Look for Bosse to knock Babalu's head off and punch his ticket to the Ultimate sooner than later.

[GungHo]

I would like to have been in the room when they pitched the Top Shot crossover with TUF. Maybe next year they'll do Amazing Race.

[yacobod]

Diaz is gonna whoop that ass.

[ShaneB]

It's a sad state when injuries are needed to spice up divisions :(

[Chamber]

Where is the Edgar news at? I don't see it anywhere.

[Fifty]

While no major sites have reported it, reliable posters on Twitter are saying that Cruz tore his ACL and is dropping out of the July card. I'm glad I didn't shell out the money to fly to Vegas in July if this is true.

no loss. can't say i'm a fan of cruz's "fight" style.
