Johnson.
Cerrone.
Weidman. I think Chris might actually kill Roidfort. Like, his heart will stop beating and he'll be dead. For real.
Brown.
Dodson.
Burkman.

[Pauly D]

Their little act was cringe worthy. I'd bet money Jones was behind it cause he doesn't want bad blood going into this one

[dbreiden83080]

Co-Main event will probably go to shit when Weidman hurts himself getting out of the tub or something..

Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
(https://twitter.com/arielhelwani)RT @ABQPOLICE (https://twitter.com/ABQPOLICE/): We can now confirm that we are looking for Jon Jones for questioning stemming from a H&R this morning. cabq.gov/police/news/al… (http://t.co/xapgkLRNvY)

[dbreiden83080]

Way to go Jon.. I guess he is trying to win the "Flush your life down the toilet" contest.. He is quickly becoming another Mike Tyson.

[ace3g]

So Cormier vs Johnson for Interim LHW Title?

[Rip-Hamilton32]

Not surprised with Jones, last June or July, Jon his brother Arthur and a guy from a CFL team were at the barbershop I go to and they just got back from Jamaica and they were showing us all the weed they bought when they were there and it was easily a couple of pounds. There was probably 6 of us and they were so casual about it.

So what you're saying is that he's a fucking moron?

Where is db and his spin machine? I've been waiting patiently for a good laugh.

[txstr1986]

It's official - the UFC stripped Jones of the belt and Rumble and DC will fight for it at 187

I'm not doubting you, but can you post a link? I don't want to ruin these pants if it's just a rumor, you know?

There is nothing to spin, did you read what I wrote before? The dude fouled up big time. He had better get his life together in a hurry or his career will go down as what might have been in spite of what he has done already. It certainly appears he has a drug problem, and lengthy rehab might be the first step.. When someone is engaging in all kinds of strange and idiotic behavior weeks away from a major event in your life, which should be your focus drugs very often are the root of the problems..

As to the new title fight it's a good one and i'll take AJ..

[The TroutBum]

I can't believe Johnson is the underdog -- I'm picking him for sure.

[thiste]

Still a good fight, but so bummed I was really looking forward to Bones vs Rumble.

What the fuck are you doing Jon?

[dbreiden83080]

What the fuck are you doing Jon?

He's going to lose everything over this.. He already basically has.. If this does not get him on the right path nothing will..

[dbreiden83080]

As long as DC is in shape and is over the Jones fight, he has all the tools to grind out AJ and get the belt. 5 rounds helps him as well..

[tlongII]

This should be a good card. I'll definitely go to BWW's to watch this.

against any other guy, yeah... but those fuckin hands. Johnson is reminding me of my characters I'd create for the Undisputed games where I'd just use crazy speed and power to get a cool KO

first card I'll have watched live in forever

The fight to me comes down to the first round. if DC gets him down and does some damage and wears on AJ a bit that power gets already diminished. Look also for work in the clinch from DC wearing on those arms, making them heavy..

[txstr1986]

Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson for vacant light heavyweight title - I honestly don't know who to pick here. I see paths to victory for both of them. Going with Rumble mainly because Rumble 2.0 is hella awesome to watch.

Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort for middleweight title - ALL AMERICAN MUTHAFUCKA. F that rat-tail wearing, roided out Brazilian

Donald Cerrone vs. John Makdessi - haha, yeah, maybe we should be picking round and method for this one...

Andrei Arlovski vs. Travis Browne - It's cool having Arlovski back in the game, but Browne is the new breed - too athletic and too skilled. I doubt Arlovski's chin will hold up to a shot from Browne.

Joseph Benavidez vs. John Moraga - Alpha Male for the win.

John Dodson vs. Zach Makovsky - easy win for Dodson

[thiste]

Rumble (vs Daniel Cormier)
Weidman (vs Vitor BelRoid)
My Boy Cerrone (vs MacDessy I'm lovin it)
Browne (vs Arlovski)

I did..

[thiste]

wow

[01Snake]

Dat fight, damn

[dbreiden83080]

That was like Hagler/Hearns shit in there..


Crazy..

[thiste]

I thought Browne might have hurt his right ankle with how wobbly he was for so long. Awesome fucking fight. Underestimated Andrei.

[thiste]

that has to hurt

[thiste]

fucking wow again

[ace3g]

damn, props to Weidman for weathering that storm

[01Snake]

Time for the main event. If the other fights are any indication, this one should be GOOD!

[ace3g]

and new

[dbreiden83080]

The fight to me comes down to the first round. if DC gets him down and does some damage and wears on AJ a bit that power gets already diminished.

It was the 2nd round..

[dbreiden83080]

Weird as hell seeing that belt around DC's waist given he just lost to Jones.. I guess he and Jones were meant to be rivals..

[txstr1986]

DC is starting to piss me off...

That was a great card! Best night of fights I've seen in a long time!

[SupremeGuy]

DC is starting to piss me off...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OKuNWymjWILike a fucking boss.

[shyne]

DC would beat the living shit out of Bader. Why was he even there anyways.

[Pauly D]

It was the 2nd round..

Don't flatter yourself. It had nothing to do with his strategy and everything to do with his chin. Johnson should have won that fight if Cormier didn't have a prime Hendo prime Leben 2.0 jaw. Johnson did what everyone who thought he'd win thought he would do and it didn't work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OKuNWymjWI

There was nothing "boss" about either in that vid but lmfao at Rumble at the end. The moment he decides to become a mixed martial artist he'll be the best.

[01Snake]

Loving Cowboy's rise to the top.

[ace3g]

Maybe he was tired and holding on to take a breather, but Johnson had chances to break from the clinch.

[The TroutBum]

Arlovski... Fuck me runnin', I didn't see that one coming. Of course, Ace did though. (Jack ass!)

[Cry Havoc]

DC is starting to piss me off...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OKuNWymjWI

It would be amazing if Bader caved his head in.

Probably won't happen, but still.

[ace3g]

Dana announced on UFC Tonight the next 2 title fights will be:

Cormier vs Gus

Weidman vs Rockhold

[dbreiden83080]

Dana announced on UFC Tonight the next 2 title fights will be:

Cormier vs Gus

Weidman vs Rockhold

Gus will win IMO. Too long, with great footwork and TDD.. What is with all these guys getting title shots coming off loses?

[Pauly D]

Gus will succeed where Johnson failed. Endurance, smart striking, and TDD. He's gonna use as many rounds as necessary and DC's entire face is gonna be swollen to twice its size.

I hope Rockhold wins so Weidman can get a loss out of the way. I want Rockhold to mix it up before Souza gets a chance cause that fucking Amazon swamp monster scares the shit out of me. I think he can beat both right now
