The Official MMA Thread

[Kid That's Lifeless]

The MMA thread isn't popping like it used to be.

I take some blame for this since I never am home on Saturdays to watch fights anymore.

[the dead poet]

should be around for main card.

[bbatson1]

man, i would not fuck around with betting on this card. I have to admit i'm very nervous for the entire main card. I've only had one pick wrong in the last three cards (Josh Neer VS Justin Edwards) but tonight... I just don't know. These fights can all really go either way. I'm cheering for all Brazilian wins but these fights can end up being fun/boring/upsets/knock outs/lay and pray.. in almost every fight.

[the dead poet]

I think Phil Davis will take his. And I think Fitch will Fitch his match. Looking forward to seeing Glover fight again. Also same goes for Diego Brandao

[Moolah]

your picks bbatson.

Silva by 2nd round KO.
Big Nog by submission.
Glover by KO.
Silva by KO or points.
Davis on points.
Maia on points or submission.

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

silva vs fitch fight should be entertaining, bet sliva wins.

[bbatson1]

main card time. Prelims were alright. Too many TUF fighters.

Cheering for Maia in the first fight. He's an alltime favorite.

[bbatson1]

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

[kato]

i love mma again.. thank you minotauro <3

[bbatson1]

Mother of god.

[manwhore]

silva with his hands down and begging to be hit, is the most dangerous dude alive.

[Moolah]

Sorry for being but THAT was one of the illest cards ever!

Silva vs fitch was .

Glover put one of the most brutal beatings ever on Fabio.

Big Nog submission win was beautiful.

Silva voluntarily backing up against the cage with his hands down and matrix dodging was

[the dead poet]

yea I just rewatched the card...it was a really good one.

[Moolah]

[drobizhek]

Such a sick card. Even the Fitch fight was amazing. How he got out of that rear naked choke I'll never understand.

[bbatson1]

It was announced today that Chael Sonnen and Jon Jones will host the next TUF.

Chael gets a title shot against Jones in April.

[the dead poet]

am I missing something, what happens with his bout with Forest Griffin now?
