Man, when this card was announced, it was going to be the best thing in the world. Then Alistair had his issues, but that kind of made it better because RALLY FOR MARK HUNT started, but then Mir got the spot, and then Hunt got hurt, so there is now much sadness.
Still going to be pretty rad with an all heavyweight main card. Come on Dos Santos! Go for the punch his face!
Awww, I’m gonna miss this watching the card on delay. Oh well, I’ll still enjoy watching Dos Santos punch-submit Frank Mir.
I’d like to see more single weight class main cards. Or at least a WEC-esque tiny punchmen card. Nothing above 155, or hell, 145.
Really interesting undercard with Varner getting a comeback fight against freakin Barboza, Teixera getting a legit test at LHW,and of course Miller and fart face. I know Mayhem has been training at Reign but methinks he’s gonna get wrestlefucked on his way out the door.
I am going to be so excited when Jamie Varner gets destroyed. I really hope Mayhem has a gas tank bigger than two minutes for this fight.
Forgot about Hardy and Ludwig’s sock’em bopper brawl, also interesting that Volkkman is still fighting on undercards.
I really hope Hardy gets cut. He hasn’t won a fight in forever.
Volkmann is on the undercard because if he wins he will say something about how horrible Obama is, and Dana doesn’t want that on FX or the PPV.
That’s what I like about him. He’s gonna speak his mind even if that means his boss is gonna bury him on the under cards forever
There are a few fighters that I like seeing lose more than when Mir loses, but they are absolute heals. Nog will be avenged!
How is Barboza relegated to the prelims and we pay to watch Stipe Miočić vs. Shane del Rosario? Aside from the championship, the prelims have a more exciting card.
dude, gotta have an all heavyweight card! it’s going to be great because hopefully half of the fighters will gas-out in the first round.
The fights are either going to be an awesome 3 minutes of straight punch fucking, or 25 minutes of huffing and puffing and grasping for cheeseburgers.
And I expect Struve to get beheaded again. He always seems to follow up a good fight by getting knocked the fuck out.
Struve is so damn chinny I think a flyweight could KO him (provided the little gnome has a ladder, of course), but Johnson got grappled by Barry, and Pat Barry, as much as I like that dude, does not know how to grapple. If Struve can pull guard or just launch up a flying triangle two seconds into the fight, he could win. Once Lavar touches fist to chin, it’s probably all over.
Fighter Dog Time! Which dog is best dog?
First up, Alex “the (Swedish) Mauler” Gustafsson’s dog!
And his opponent, Anthony “Showtime” Pettis’ dog!
GAME OVER. Blue Pits are the best. Really loving dogs as long as they aren’t raised by Virginia Tech alums
I agree, but I’ll put up the other fighter dogs since I like doggies.
Well you gotta show my boy Arlovski and his pit some love.Post the vid of his dog’s trick.
Next match up!
“Suga” Rashad Evans’ new puppy that melted my heart on the UFC Primetime series!
And his opponent!
Jason “Mayhem” Miller’s dog, Gator the Hotdog Dog! I’ll have to find a gif or video of Gator playing dead when Miller shoots him with finger guns.
Gator’s trick!
Andrei “Pitbull” Arlovski and Maximus!
And his opponent, Alan “the Talent” Belcher!
people sure do like shooting their dogs
Damn you Lobster.Don’t make me choose between Belcher and Arlovski! Wow,I didn’t realize fighters owning pits has become so cliche.
Dandy, you have no idea. I could do this all day/night (I think I will, just to make it look like people like talking about MMA here so there are more MMA stories/threads/open discussions/live blogs)
Danny Boy is returning to With Leather? YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Anyone watch Bellator? Holy damn, Cole Konrad! Also, Luis Noguiera and AJ Matthews on the prelims were impressive.
Danny Boy,is RS just a big pit bull doggy day care,? What kinda mutt do you own? Methinks you may not be a dog guy.
Enson Inoue loves dogs more than you. He goes into Fukushima to feed abandoned dogs after the earthquake/reactor disaster. Enson Inoue is the best.
Fedor “the Last (Russian) Emperor” Emelianenko and dogs!
Fedor and a cat!
“Creepy” Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon and his mastiff, Grip!
I swear, I saw some pictures of Grip as a puppy on Joe’s facebook last night, but now I don’t see any puppy pics.
Ronda Rousey and a dog of unknown name!
Found it! Puppy Grip was a gerbil or some sort of fur-tube of adorableness!
Demian Maia and friends
Randy Couture is in deep trouble! His tiny dog has full mount!
Mauricio Rua and hammock friend!
Who is jowlier, Roy Nelson or dog?
Jon “Skyrim” Fitch and his bulldog!
Non-dog entry! “El Guapo” Bas Rutten and his bunny, Peanut Butter!
And the last match-up for a while. Anthony Johnson and his dog
Not MMA, but kickboxer Tyrone Spong has a neat dog, too.
Gotta have an Eddie Bravo/Bunny entry
