Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Ufc have signed a deal with Reebok to provide uniforms. Bull**** idea if you ask me but, hey-ho.

Youd have to think people like Jones and Silva wil be pissed. Both pretty high profile Nike athletes.

Jones is no longer sponsored by Nike.

The guys who'll feel this are the guys near the bottom of the food chain. The one's who make their money from their banner advertising.

CM Punk just announced he's signed for UFC. Would be interested to see how he does and how bad he gets on when getting smacked hard in the head.

[spud_gun]

Got to be nothing more than a publicity stunt. He was in a radio show the other day saying how much his body is beaten up after his wrasslin tenure.

Don't see him being involved in any meaningful way. Sure he might fight but it will be nothing more than a gimmicky attempt to boost. PPV sales

[Alex]

It'll boost buy rates massivly. He has a huge following amongst Wrestling fans.

Hendricks was robbed there.

Hendricks was robbed there.

I'm not sure. I had him winning the first, forth and fifth. The death stare after the round ended.

CM Punk is deffo a stunt, it's not as if he has the sheer power and size about him that Brock did; and I was genuinely surprised that he suggested he'd be fighting middleweight, and even considered light heavyweight!

I like most people though will watch just to see how he gets on.

Finally got round to watching

I had it as lawler, anyone's, hendricks, anyone's lawlers. But wtf do I know.

Even if Hendricks was robbed, that last round he deserved it, just kept turtling to try and kill the fight. Was a great bout until then.

Can't wait for Lawler vs Hendricks 3. Gotta happen.

Meanwhile, it's almost time for Jones vs Cormier. So, just how badly do we think Jones will smash him? Heh.

JDS career is going to be very short if he keeps on insisting on blocking punches with his face

[EwarWoo]

Not seen the Dos Santos 1 yet, seen all the card up to that point when teh IQ seemed to stop recording for no reason.

Will be watching that one shortly.

It was a shame to see how badly hoe got smashed up by Vasquez. No-one should be able to walk away OK from that level of punishment, though glad he did.

By the end of both fights 2 and 3 just felt pity for him, it was too much to enjoy.

[meffin]

Don't worry, I haven't given away anything from the result- this one was always going to be a slugfest.

He will have some serious issues later in life if he doesn't work on his defence

[ntto]

watched it last night - I cant believe both of them walked away from that

[spud_gun]

The worrying thing for the UFC is that JDS is the second best heavyweight on their books and he's miles behind Cain.

UFC heavyweight division just isn't all that competitive.

[EwarWoo]

It's same in light heavy as well though with Jones. Cormier is being talked up, and he is a decent fighter, but he's gunna get smashed.

But then it's always been the way. Silva and GSP until recently ere massively dominant for years.

Outstanding fighters come out and no-one can touch them.
