Good fights so far. Pete Sell, damn I feel sorry for him. He can’t get a damn break. I hope that isin’t a bad omen for how Team Serra did.
Good job by Nate. And, OMG Herb Dean did a good call for once, WTF.
Some really sloppy fighting tonight. This is good for the casual fans, but I prefer more crisp fighting skills. Both Sell/Quarry & Leben/Martin were ugly fights. But it was nice that both ended in KO’s, because both could have produced weird decisions due to being so close.
The only fight I have been impressed with is the Nate Diaz fight…. At least he showed some skill…..
Oh c’mon, it’s ugly but FUN. Dude, just enjoy your MMA. This isin’t a pro wrestling match where you have to do like “OMFG 5 STARZ!” for a table spot.
I enjoy a technical battle over an ugly fight any day of the week. I’m not hating on the card. It just isn’t my cup of tea. It feels like an IFL card….
What’s wrong with that? Do you need only absolute top of the line elite level MMA to be entertained?
Joe Rogan likes to say everyone in UFC is world-class at striking or grappling…
I was really curious to see the scorecards on the Leben/Martin fight.
ditto what PizzaChef said…. I’m enjoying this card immensely. very competitive fights with definitive finishes, entertaining in my book.
Joe Rogan likes to say everyone in UFC is world-class at striking or grappling…
A lot of them are. And there’s a lot of elite grapplers that suck standing and elite strikers who suck on the ground. That’s why we watch, right?
Rogan also says Chuck has under-rated Jiu- Jitsu skills, if by under-rated he means non-existent.
Florian is a black belt at punching the back of the head.
Is Kenny Florian the luckiest fighter alive?
1. The Elbow against Leben
2. The Elbow against Karalexis.
3. The blown out knee against Thomas.
WOW!!
45 Huddle, to be fair, Florian was winning the fight without question up to that point.
Really now, Ken has turned himself into a top LW. Give him credit.
Hook or crook, Sityodtong does it again. The boys training in Slummaville are doing the dojo proud.
===
Chuck has problems just standing up straight in the ring. That interview tonight wasn’t terribly crisp either.
Wow the new Chris Leben. And crazy Russian sounding guy on TUF.
45,
Florian was looking good. He was winning the stand up and had a couple of TDs.
Give Florian credit for fighting good and coming out on top.
yeah i got mac danzig winning this one real fast
ooooo sweet sweet triangle on that weak ass
A kick to the jimmy, an injury, a slew of punches to the back of the head…time for another title shot, IMO.
yeah another title shot…roids ftw
By the way Dave Doyle is reporting that Florian won by “read-naked choke”.
“Are you ready to go, f–kers?” Classy as always.
LOL, yeah, no kidding. Dana White loves to give himself the bad boy image, yet he’s supposed to put out a professional image when meeting with agents, etc.
And even though Florian was winning that fight prior to Din Thomas’s knee blowout, nobody really knows what could have happened. It was really an unfortunate incident for Din.
