Rashad really couldn't close the distance.(He only shot once, I believe?) Like others who have fought, he to got caught standing in front Jones, watching.

Tbf, Jones really changed the fight with those short (standing) elbows, and he pushed the pace, tired Evans

but, as Shad said, Jones was very tricky and played a smart game


Dan Henderson is next, and as always, Hendo always has a punchers chance.

Eh...I didn't even wait around for the decision

Evans put the most damage on that Mothafucka tho

But yo....frank Mir versus junior dos

Seriously UFC?

Mir is a company man :D

I do like Bigfoot vs Cain. Bigfoot's chin is suspect but hes as skilled & well rounded as Cain.
 
Antonio had a difficult time dealing with Cormier's speed standing, and he couldn't take the fight to the ground because of Cormier's wrestling. Cain poses similar problems.

Granted, Bigfoot was sick I believe.

I got greedy and went for Rashad & that puncher's chance money. :smt011

Im staying a bit more conservative and takin...

Nate Diaz +190
Jim Miller -230

Johny Hendrix -140
Josh Koshcheck +120

Nate's problem is his lanky ass can get held on the ground to a lay & pray decision. He might be a little too confident in his take down defense after whippin Cowboy's ass(who never tried a takedown) Miller wont touch Nate's boxing. Anything Miller throws is a setup for a takedown. I hope we see an active guard from Diaz.

With Koshcheck im banking on the experience playing a factor and him wisely knowing how to edge a decision.

It was a good fight, Cormier pretty much swept the rounds. Barnett broke his hand in the first, though.

Cormier said he broke his hand in the first round too, at the post -fight presser.

Too bad I dont have Showtime. I had to choose between Showtime and HBO and obviously chose HBO. Too much good original content to pass up.

highlights from the one and only, Ernesto Hoost

if you had to have a stand-up trainer in your corner, this is the one you'd want :o
 
I've a feeling that Francisco Miranda will perform much better against Junior than most believe he will

I still don't think he'll retain his consciousness while in the same cage with Junior, however.

I would have rather seen alistair in the cage

Mir is past his golden years....they shoulda just sent in mirko krocop if they really wanted to let us know they were going to give chigano an easy win

The only upside to Mir is that he's always been a world class fighter when it comes to jiu jitsu

That was how he made his name...if junior dos makes one mistake he's done
 
Lol, he better tap.

Oh yeah, I remember

Mir's sub threat on the ground is analogous to Hendo's KO power standing; scary, one-shot and shit changes quickly

eh, bit of a weird comparison, but you get my point

Remember how dominant brock was against Mir their first fight

Frank looked like raw hamburger but managed to catch him in an ankle lock

i just dont want to see this guy get embarrassed in the striking game, that's all

every time him or old-ass Couture fought, i feared for their safety
 
I don't want to see him hurt again either. That Carwin KO was fucking brutal. I don't wish that type of punishment on any fighter
