he got fucked up.

[Ramen]

lol who's this fucker cursing out the camera in BJs corner.

[Ramen]

why does this dude always think he can train the same way and expect different results. his corner is filled with clowns.

[bbatson1]

FUCKKKKKKKKKK I HATE this shit!

[bbatson1]

I hate you Joe Silva

[peanut butter]

The knee punches to set up a shot to the dome was great strategy in fourth grade



PEACE

[tehgiftofgab]

god damnit, this might be the most depressing night of fights for me in a long time...

[Moolah]

BJ got fucking destroyed. 2nd round was hard to watch. Love Rory though.

Henderson had a great fucking game plan, completely neutralised Diaz and did it without Conduit/Guida faggotry.

[drobizhek]

bj penn is a joke

[Smitty]

Cruickshank's dismantling of that tough lil Martinez dude was fun to watch.

When it eventually happens I think Jones/Gustafsson will be great. Haven't seen him against someone with similar length. I still don't think Gustafsson has a chance, but it will be interesting.

BJ is embarrassing himself at this point, all that talk in the lead up to the fight now seems depressing. "Where's my 10 fight win streak?".

Rory needs to either step up his mic skills or say as little as possible. Him calling out Condit was cringeworthy on the level of Bendo's god talk/memorial speech.

GSP & Rory fuckin shit up in the UFC, Mike Ricci bout to take the TUF finale.

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

glad nick got dominated

rory will be a problem

rip shogun

bj looked like shit

[Moolah]

Rory needs to either step up his mic skills or say as little as possible. Him calling out Condit was cringeworthy on the level of Bendo's god talk/memorial speech.

The Canadian Psycho >>>>>

He's on his way to being a great fighter, and he's fun to watch, but that call out was awkward as fuck.

Online he's being made out to be a cold, calculating villain, so I think he should embrace it and speak as little as possible. Go full heel. Let that dead stare, his metrosexual attire, and precision in ring beatdowns do the talking for him.

[Moolah]

Dude, he's basically doing that already. His interviews are trill, he comes across as some sort of emotionless, hipster emo psychopath.

Btw I lol'ed hard at

[bbatson1]

Nick Diaz VS GSP seems to be official for 158 in Montreal with Rory VS Condit co headlining. Getting a little Canadian home bias there.

Also, there's two cards this weekend.

[tehgiftofgab]

[bbatson1]

[Moolah]

Poor G-Sots did the Zab Judah dance about 1 minute into the fight. Did well to last as long as he did after that.

[Smitty]

Yeah, I thought he was done the 1st time. Tough dude.

Apparently, about halfway thru taping the season Sotiropoulos sucker punched Pearson's boxing coach and dude ended up knocking Georgie boy out. That's why Pearson didn't shake hands.

[bbatson1]

[the dead poet]

Prelims have some good matchups

underrated card from top to bottom.

[T Rav]

Rolling with my man Brown Pride.
Shit. Todd Duffee is fighting while folks check their coats. He owns one one of the best quick knockouts, and was on the wrong end of one of the best come from behind knockouts.

[the dead poet]

Garcia is a psychopath

[bbatson1]

Duffman is out there slumping fools.
