uggg I'm just bummed people are going to go to the stupid fightmetric for the next month which doesn't mean jack imo. It counts punches to forearms, shoulders, biceps, etc...

GREAT fight though. Frankie is a beast. I wonder if he'll fight Aldo now. That's what the UFC wants. Excellent card. I feel bad for Okami though.

I think Benderson was a lot more dominant and came close to finishing more frequently.

I just can't take this shit again. lol. It's the same after every Frankie fight. I thought he lost to BJ the first fight. I thought he beat Maynard in the first title fight and thought he lost tonight.

I wonder what the UFC does now. There's a lot of interesting things that could happen.

I would love to see Edgar vs Nate Diaz

Great card. Edgar is tough as fuck.

Rampage looked horrible.

All over twitter fighters and media saying they thought Edgar won. I'm like

Luh the kid but Bender dominated here, even without the upkick he wins IMO.

Kinda sad to watch Rampage runnin outta time. I couldn't help but see parallels between the matches against Rashad and Bader. Outworked for almost all of the fight, but for landing one massive punch, and not havin the gas or reaction time to capitalize on it. Time's up.

Solid night of fights, real fun. Tamura's KO, Pettis' kick like whoa, Boetsch's miraculous comeback, Mark Hunt bodying Kongo, and a great main event. That's a lotta good shit.

yea, I'm baffled with the amount of people saying they thought Frankie won. I just re watched and have benson winning FOR SURE 2,3,4. One is up in the air...and 5 was Frankies.

bbatson1 · Post by **bbatson1** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:50 pm

^I think they were just vocal at first. I've been seeing some polls on different sites by fans and they all have Bendo being the winner by huge amounts. It's like 75% to 25%.

I'm also tired as fuck from last night. :) That was a late show.

Yep, major

at anyone saying Edgar won that.

Smitty, in the post-press conference Rampage said he injured his knee in training camp, that's why he couldn't make weight. And he tweaked it when Bader slammed him, so was fucked from that point.

I read that prior to the match, and it sucks cuz I like Rampage, but it doesn't change my opinion. I think we're seeing the crossover from contender to gatekeeper starting.

The rematch with Shogun may be next, which will likely end ugly for 'Page.

My guess is Rampage rematches Shogun and retires regardless of outcome. Plus, I doubt the UFC is going to keep him around as a gatekeeper when Lil' Nog and Vladdy do the job already for a fraction of the price. And Thiago Silva is probably going to replace Vladdy when he retires.

i think rampage should fight titortiz

Wow I just watched Like Water. What an amazing movie. Anderson is really what you see is what you get. He just wants to train to be the best martial artist in the world and be with his family. It was a very interesting film. I couldn't recommend it more. This was very interesting as well. Big Nog is just like

So one of the dudes on the new season of the Ultimate Fighter was in gay porn.

Personally, I don't give a shit, but this has gotten a lot of attention and I guess it's an interesting topic.

Tito is hurt and that match may be off. It's a bit up in the air and nobody seems to know. I get Tito kind of deserves it but it's really holding things up.

I think Machida and Forrest are in the spot now (even though Machida is better imo, obviously) but i think they should fight. I'm sick of Machida wasting his career. Tito said he can fight in July. That's a long time to have people sitting around.

Also that gay fighter. IMO Who gives a fuck? Unless he's trying to submit people by shoving dicks in their mouth who cares.

Yo, I just saw with Cain Velasquez, Chad Mendes and Mike Pyle at a pub in Sydney. Got photos and autographs off of them. Could have won a pair of signed gloves but was too slow.
