UFC Digital Network 1 – Garbage
UFC Fight Night – Decent FN. A few fights I am interested in.
UFC on FOX – Good for a fight night. Bad for a FOX show. No excuse to have 4 big shows only a year on FOX and for this to be the card.
Carlos Condit vs. Tyron Woodley apparently has been booked.
Great fight. I had Woodley beating Shields, and he dominated Koscheck after that. Should be a great fight. Needs to be 5 rounds, but won’t be.
I think it’s a good choice – good fight in itself, but also makes sense. Beating Koscheck, after losing a close split decision to Shields, justifies giving Woodley a top opponent like Condit. I’m also excited to see the winner of this fight challenge for the title against the winner of Hendricks-Lawler.
There are around 10 interesting welterweights right now, which makes it one of the best weight classes, even with GSP stepping away.
Bigfoot got busted for elevated testosterone levels, despite having a TRT pass. What a sad follow-up to the fight. I hope they give the $50 K he forfeited to Hunt, whose life he probably shortened while juicing.
The 50k is going to Hunt.
And this is the SECOND time Silva has pissed hot. Like Barnett, he has no business fighting anymore…
I am not sure how good Woodley is. He looks like he has all the talent in the world, but then I remember his fight against Marquardt..
