Anjos burns through Cerrone in just over a minute, becomes the third person in the same night to call Conor out(Diaz and Olivera(yeah right)) the others.

Also said he'd fight Conor in Ireland. Would be really suprised if this doesn't get made now.

[Gibbo]

Dos Anjos vs Cerrone is an earlier one tonight.

They're experimenting with Goldberg Rogan and Cruz all at one commentating and it has been brilliant so far, Rogan and Cruz knowledge is working together brilliantly while Mike counts the ring girls for us.

Mir is a big sack of **** to be fair.

haha **** off

The early stuff was incredible, no weight divisions and it was a knockout competition, all the way to the final on ONE day! There weren't even judges, you basically had to win by submission, knockout or with your corner throwing in the towel. Bloody brilliant, the stuff of movies. 8 men fighting their way to the final in a knockout competition.

I see you're now getting in to it, I'd highly recommend a documentary called The Smashing Machine, about a figher called Mark Kerr back in the day when it was really brutal. Its absolutely fascinating.

Nice one will give it a watch one night.

Have a look at Mark Kers record from early mma, one of his wins was via sticking his chin into his opponents eye! Early fights were seriously insane

Cheers, now that's what i call improvising. Gonna give him a look up.

Weidmann should have been stopped in the 3rd. I know herb was giving him a chance but he was just getting utterly smashed with no defence. It was pretty bloody disgusting. Real harm could well have happened.



Bloody hell, should be disqualified from being a man not just the fight.

That being said am I **** the one who tells 'em.

Yeah as i've said i'm not keen on seeing a fight end that way, depends so much on one of them getting to sit on the other, and although i know there's a skill to getting into that dominant position, i just think it's something that could be removed from the sport without really having a detrimental effect, in fact it would probably improve some fights, as i say, maybe a time limit on how long you can sit on top, if you havent got a submission or a ko, then the ref should let the man up and you go again, i think it was the fact he was sat so high up on his chest that it pushed his arms up and made them useless, a good tactic i suppose, but just not how i like to see fights go.

But that's just me.

Jeez man, been watching some of the early stuff, they actually allowed butting at one point, and hair pulling, think it may even have been bare knuckle too.

Watched one with a big fella with Star spangled shorts, looked more a body builder than mma fighter, but i guess that's the point of it, different talents skills and strengths pitted against each other.

Sit down ... going toe to toe with Frank Mir is not a good game plan

Have a word that was ages ago. Obviously before the Mendes fight

I still think if he decides to stay and fight Edgar he could have trouble, he's not gonna get that punch every time and Frankie will test that wrestling.

I think Joe Rogan said it best Nicey, you could've guessed who was gonna win that fight, but that's all it was a guess. Same with Rockhold Weidman

I've been on the McGregor hype train since the Brimage fight, but Chad dominated him for one and a half round on let's face it no camp, that left is a bomb and who know if he would've to Also with it eventually, he would have if Aldo kept winging punches like that. McGregor RDA at 155 would be interesting as well. RDA shut Pettis down.

Just having some fun ... .. I disagree with Joe .. the stats dont lie .. Connor McGregor knocks sons of bitches out ... Jose Aldo .. not so much .. I agree with him on Weidman Rockhold ... that was wafer thin ... I heart told me Wiedman but my head if I had listened to it should it was more obviously Luke .. he has developed a lot in the last 2 years and hes been looking like a champ in waiting for awhile now ... still I would not be able to call the rematch either .. woudl probally give it to Luke .... McGregor Aldo .. you run it 5 times , 5 times Aldo gets sparked

Mike Russo that was the other guy.

Is Duffee still fighting in the UFC?

Yeah Cough... Mike .. Cough Russo ...


But hey in the big boy division all it takes is one shot ...

He won his previous 2 fights which were in the UFC before running into Mir

[spud_gun]

Yeah but getting sparked by Frank Mir & Alistair Overeem and one other guy since 2007 hardly makes him made of glass

It might be now though... every time you get KO'd it makes the next one that more easy to come by

That's because, and despite your protestations, Duffes chin is 100% glass.

[The_weatherman]

Oh and how about the difference between and Maia and Nelson!

Wow

Gutted for Gunnar, he was not going to submit though Took 142 hits to the head

Still, he had a bad day against Story and used that grow and he'll take a lot from this fight as well, besides bruises.
