Jose Aldo indeed defends his belt against Chad Mendes on Jan. 14 in Brazil. How do you see the fight playing out?

---

He broke the news on the Cerrone vs. Diaz fight, so he is reliable.

I saw this rumor yesterday but didn't know if it was true, but turns out it was


Anthony Johnson Moves to Middleweight, Will Face Vitor Belfort at UFC 142

http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/11/01/anthony-johnson-moves-to-middleweight-will-face-vitor-belfort-a/

Should be a good fight

[polandprzem]

Good move for Johnson to move up the division, but a tough test in Belford

[dbreiden83080]

That fight makes no sense at all for Vitor.. And Johnson can win if he wrestles..

[ace3g]

Bahadurzada, Broughton, Nedkov scratched from UFC 142; Thiago also reported out

Lets see who the replacements will be...

Shitty PPV if you ask me.

card flat out sucks unless you're just an MMA aficionado

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

Champ Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes (for featherweight title)
Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson
Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares
Carlo Prater vs. Erick Silva
Edson Barboza vs. Terry Etim

[The TroutBum]

Champ Jose Aldo vs. *Chad Mendes* - Everyone has a punchers chance, but I'm going to win the Prediction Title this year, even if I have to pick fuck-head Brazilians and Brits.
Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson - I've never understood the love Belfort gets. Johnson is a maniac.
Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares - Palhares' last fight made me a fan.
Sam Stout vs. Thiago Tavares - I don't know Tavares, but I've always loved Stout.
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Ednaldo Oliveira - LOL Gonzaga...

I think 5-0 is a good way to start the year.

*edit*

I really think Mendes is going to win, so I'm officially taking it.

*second edit*

Johnson, you fat fuck. Picking Belfort, even though it hurts my inner sensibilities.

Same as his WW form he is just not cutting off a leg to make 170 anymore..

[polandprzem]

He looks worse then b4 cutting to 170

IMO he should take advantage of the new weight class and stay on the same walk around weight. Not to drain his body so much, but oh well

Anthony Johnson has missed weight badly according to Dana White. He will have to weigh in today, and less than 205lbs tomorrow for the fight

Dana just announced on @FUELTV - Rumble can't make MIDDLEWEIGHT - Vitor says he'll still fight him IF AJ's not more than 205 tomorrow

Belfort/Johnson fight on IF Johnson weighs less than 205 tomorrow; Belfort will get 20% of his purse, Dana calls AJ "total unprofessional"

so I'm changing to Vitor either way if this fight still happens..

http://www.ufc.com/news/Rumble-Misses-Weight-Belfort-Fight-Still-On

He ended up weighing 197 at the weigh ins

[polandprzem]

A welterweight that cannot do MW limit and was close to lhw limit

WTF is that?


he did in on purpose

Medical Reasons LOL

"I tried to cut too much weight and was about to pass out" Medical reason..

[ace3g]

Both @DamonMartin and @KevinI report that Johnson fell ill while cutting weight today. UFC doctors gave him fluids and he ballooned up.

Even if he was ill while cutting weight or was just lazy; still going with Belfort now

Ill because he tried to cut down from like 220 i bet. The guy is just a tool. Hope Vitor KO's him and he gets fired tomorrow night..

[polandprzem]

WTF come on - this is good card!

This forum is down. I might consider going somwhere else :)

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

Champ Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes (for featherweight title)

You heard me. The champ is going down in Brazil. I do not why but I think Mendes can do it with his wrestling even though Aldo was training with one of the toughest /and bigger then Mendes/ wrestlers in Maynard.
3rd R g&p


Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson

Rumble lost with Belford once and he is gonna do it again although Vitor is not as good as he was and Johnson will have a huge weight advantage.

Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares

Son of a ...

Hate Palhares

Carlo Prater vs. Erick Silva
Edson Barboza vs. Terry Etim



PRELIMINARY CARD (FX)

Sam Stout vs. Thiago Tavares

I missed the pick deadline for this one..

[ace3g]

wheel kick KO!!!

[ace3g]

[01Snake]

That was picture perfect.

[LakerHater]

DAMN, that was a KO!

[ace3g]

wow, I guess training with Anderson Silva really does help

[ace3g]

uh oh, did he get DQ?

[ace3g]

crazy turn of events

[ace3g]

Dana white doesn't like it ether, probably gets overturned later

[ace3g]

[LakerHater]

[ace3g]

nice to see Vitor win with BJJ

[dbreiden83080]

Welcome to the unemployment line AJ..

[LakerHater]

Welcome to the unemployment line AJ..
Yeah, hes gettin cut!

[dbreiden83080]

Yeah, hes gettin cut!

He was even a cocky SOB about missing the weight..


"I'm already laughing at what ppl are saying. Yeah it was for medical reason and I did what the UFC Dr Told me to do. Believe it or don't I give a f**k cuz the ppl close to me were freaking out but I'm still alive and something like this has never happen before. Say what you want I'm still gonna do my thang. You try not having feeling in your legs and can't move then and see how you look at life after that."

This guy needs a vacation from the UFC and a reality check..

[LakerHater]

Win or lose AJ was on thin ice.
By loosin, it made it easier for Dana!

[ace3g]

Holy crap!!!

[ace3g]

KO of the year has some nominees just from tonight

[LakerHater]

AW Fuck... I missed it!

[ace3g]

don't worry LH, I missed the wheel kick

[ace3g]

luckily Aldo didn't decide to flip into the crowd...

[spyder]

that spinning wheel kick was sick from Barbosa

[dbreiden83080]

So Johnson should start filling out his BAMMA and DREAM applications.. :lol

Mexico is high on the list, too, but fans in the Middle East will have to wait. A logjam of concerts in Abu Dhabi means the venues are unavailable, almost entirely ruling out a return to the nation that holds a 10 percent share in the company.

Zelaznik said the UFC’s international team is expanding fast, and is eyeing locations for events in Italy and in unspecified Eastern European countries, most likely Poland

If true it will probably be near the place I live ..
