FlippinEck 3,701 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That last fight was brutal. If I wasn't wide awake I would have fallen asleep already, not a great event but at least I didn't have to pay 50 plus dollars like the yanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam3r0wn 12 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 That's me just awake after the card on saturday. It put me into that deep a sleep. I'm all for the tactical side of the game when executed well ( Condit/Diaz for example) but those fights were just bad. Enjoyed the main event, thought Faber looked a little gunshy, but I think Barao had his number and he knew it. The boy is fucking good. I will pick him vs Cruz if that happens. How good would Barao vs McDonald be?What happened to the co main? Good gameplan by Boetsch, not getting into a brawl with Lombard, but I thought he lost the fight. Lombard has no cunt to blame but himself, he never really turned up the heat. The dreaded 'octagon jitters' just might be real.Kongo/Jordan - shite. Good to see Cup Cheick getting a taste of his own medicine for a change.You have to love Matt Riddle. I'm a fan o the guy. Fought all pro fights in the UFC, loves a scrap, appreciates the fans and clearly loves his job. Tough as fuck too. At least the prelims were decent. Jimmo didn't half stiffen Perosh. Funny part is he is a Lay and pray guy normally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbread 28 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 It's been a massive 24 hours in the UFC. If you don't know what happened it when done something like this:1. Rumours start that Dan Henderson is injured and is out of the Bones fight.2. Henderson takes to twitter claiming to have had a great training session which is almost instantly retweeted by every fighter mentioned in the tweet.3. Ariel Helwani reports that one of the fighters mentioned replies to someone saying he hasn't seen Henderson in a few weeks, tweet is pretty quickly deleted.4. It's reported that Henderson is indeed injured and Chael Sonnen has offered to take the fight at 8 days notice.5. Sonnen takes to twitter telling Jones he has 30 minutes to accept.6. Jones refuses the fight and Dana announces that next weeks UFC 151 is cancelled, first time in UFC history a card is cancelled.7. Dana White is pissed and announces that Bones will now headline UFC 152 saying that if he refuses this fight then Dana will be calling another press conference.8. UFC announce that Jones will face Machida at UFC 152 and release a poster publicising the fight.9. Machida turns down the fight saying he needs more time to prepare. Dana says Machida will now need to beat another top level opponent to regain top contender spot.10. Vitor Belfort says he'll step in and take the fight. Fight is now going ahead!Jones is catching a lot of shit for turning down the Sonnen fight and rightly so in my opinion as he's been planning on fighting a wrestler anyway and it's hardly as if Sonnen has been in camp for months preparing for this one.

Tam3r0wn 12 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Poor show from Bones IMO. He's cost a lot of people money. He is catching a lot of shit from fellow fighters, not just ones who were on the card either. Bisping, Faber, Brennerman have all had a go.I really dislike Jon Jones after this, never really a fan to begin with but he is in shape, fighting a wrestler (still), and is supposed to be the greatest. He should have took the fight. For someone tht seems to really care about what his fans think, i feel it is an odd decision not to. I dont think he is afraid of Chael, I think his ego is that huge now he thinks he is bigger than the company and can do as he likes. Michael Bisping fought an in shape Chael on 8 days notice, and arguably won the fight. This need more time to prepare is bullshit. Cunts used to fight 3 guys in one night, never mind having over a week to prepare for one guy. It's not as if Sonnen has a secret weapon he is going to unleash. Takedown + Ground and pound = Sonnen. Simples.Whatever. Fighters should fight. He's a selfish prick. And I hope Vitor stiffens him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,791 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 He probably should have taken the fight but the UFC only have themselves to blame for putting together such a weak card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam3r0wn 12 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't think the entire thing is JBJ's fault, the card was weak anyways, the fact that they cancelled the card after losing Bones vs Hendo shows that. ZUFFA must take the blame, even if Bones turned down a fight.Also, the other day Jones said he was in this for money. Who can sell a fight like Chael P Sonnen?Answer- nobody.

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 finally got epsn on the free trial, really looking forward to 151 cant believe its been cancelled, i mean they usually pull something out. I was reading Dana White's twitter he is not a happy bunny first time having to cancelled. I really think Jones should have taken the Sonnen fight, I have seen people injured still fight, and i mean what was the big deal, was he scared of Sonnen really? But he will fight Belfort? Its all very strange. Dana has taken severe actions before like Nick Diaz not turning up to media event took GSP fight off him. I am surprised he didnt strip Jones for refusing to fight, he was talking about the huge amount of money wasted having to cancel. I would have watched Jones vs Sonnen, ah well, hopefull Belfort who i really like wont get kicked in the face and out like he was in the Silva fight, Jones really needs some who is going to give him a real go. I really wanted to see Dan Henderson fight him ah well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
