Massive blowups going on today..
Dan Henderson was supposed to fight Jon Bones Jones (for the light-heavyweight world title) in 8 days time but got injured, and apparently Jones is now refusing to fight any replacement..
Dana White is going beserk.. hahahaha

Chael Sonnen said he would go up a weight class, fly to Las Vegas and fight him anywhere, anytime..
Once you get past the amazing amount of crap he speaks, he is actually hilarious. I can't work out if he is a lunatic or just a genius comedian..

Definitely a bit of both! Lunatic makes up a large portion of it though me thinks.

Will be very interesting to see what happens.

Only got pay tv 6 days ago and i hadn't watched much UFC before, only highlights. I was channell flicking and i come acrosss some UFC show (UFC Unleashed i think) so i watched it. It was the start of the 3rd round against 2 guys (no idea of names). One bloke had a massive egg right next to his right eye and i don't think he could see out of it at all. His eye got smashed again in the 3rd round and was pissing out blood. Anyway the guy got choked out and i'm yet to see him move. I'll be trying to watch a bit more from now on.

This weekend has UFC 153 on.. Not the greatest card ever seen, but Anderson Silva Vs Stephan Bonnar should be a bit of alright. Can't see Bonnar coming even close to beating him, but the bloke can take a punch (or kicks to the noggin') and has a massive heart, so at least could be a good fight to watch. Bonnar is paying a decent amount for the win too, so could be worth a roughie bet in case of a severe upset..


Oh yeah, just realised this should be in the "Sports Bar" section..

Bump..

Well, Bonnar got worked, then failed his drug test and copped a 1 year ban..
I'm looking forward to UFC 154 next weekend (Sunday morning, 18th Nov for us).. GSP Vs Condit is going to be immense..

GSP Vs Condit last night..
One of the best UFC fights I've seen in a long time.. It had a bit of everything.. I definitely should have stayed home to watch it live instead of going to watch the pea-hearted performance yesterday..

Anyone else frothing at the gash for UFC on Sunday??
GSP Vs Nick Diaz..
Its been a long time coming and probably one of the most anticipated match ups in UFC history (apart from getting Silva to take on GSP)..
Diaz is back after his ban for smoking weed, and has been talking some decent smack (as usual) and actually getting GSP to fire back verbally a bit, which he normally doesn't do..

I'm going for Diaz, but I think GSP is just too good and will come through with the 5 round decision - he won't be able to finish him..

Bon
21-03-2013, 01:54 PM
Well what a disappointment that fight was. Yet ANOTHER fight where GSP just stops a takedown and lays on the bloke for 5 rounds, unable to do much damage or finish him. In saying that, he was the smarter and better fighter.. Diaz didn't let his hands go and only showed rare glimpses of what he is actually capable of..

The Condit Vs Hendricks fight should have been the main drawcard.. It had a bit of everything, got so much respect for Condit out of it..

Wait.. Starting to wonder why I keep writing in this thread? Surely there are other UFC fans on here??? hahaha

Yeah I've been downloading the episodes each week.. Actually, Ep 8 should have come out last night!!! Will be getting that when I get home..
Its been a pretty decent season to watch so far, I'm pretty surprised by Sonnen though.. I thought he would have taken a completely different angle as coach, like been a complete tool, not Jones' mate..
You been getting in to it Pistolpete??

Yeah it has been a great season so far. Not as much stupid behaviour, more decent fights. I wasn't sure about Sonnen at the start but i really like him as a coach. He is much better than Jones in that respect. I really hate that Josh Samman bloke. He seems to be able to manipulate the coaches into giving him the easier fights and is just a tool in general. Episode 8 was quite good, was a very technical fight rather than them just banging like i expected. Won't give away any more than that except to say that the quarters should be good even though the matchups were not what i expected. As long as Josh gets his head knocked off i'll be happy

Was an insane knockout. He was doing quite well to that point too. He may have been in the running for the wildcard if he didn't get knocked out so bad

Hahahaha Yeah, just insane.. All the other dudes in the house are shitting themselves about fighting Uriah now..

Not sure if you are up to date with the episodes now PistolPete (I think episode 10 came out on Wed, which I will download tonight), so if you aren't then I suggest not reading below this:

I hate that Josh Samman guy aswell, fvcking whiney little bitch trying to pick the easiest fights for himself and making excuses for everything.. The other guy who I would like to see get smashed, is Bubba.. The prick is just so self-absorbed and won't stop banging on about how much he deserves it.. The look on his face when he was given the Uriah fight, priceless..

****en oath mate. I actually hate their whole team except the Kiwi bloke. They have underestimated the skill of sonnen's team and hopefully they all get smashed in the quarters. Bubba is shitting bricks. Brought it on himself really. Kept talking himself up after sub-par performances and was due to get a serious ass whooping eventually. Hopefully Uriah doesn't choke

Semi Finals tonight. Two good fights which I will discuss further when you have watched Bon :) Final is this weekend but I will be away unfortunately. We should meet up for UFC159 which is on 28th April at 12pm I think. Jones will probably be too fast for Sonnen but should be a good fight

I've been away for work (tough old week in Crescent Head, someone's gotta do it, hahaha) and am going to start downloading it now!!!!
I was so dirty when Dana didnt put Uriah up against Josh for this semi.. I wanted to see Uriah destroy him now and not give Josh the satisfaction of potentially getting to the final.. The bloke is such a whiney little bitch..
Is the final this weekend?? AWESOME..

UFC159 is on the 28th?? Even better, thats my birthday so could definitely be in for some midday drinks to start the day off.. Where would you normally watch the fights??

The final is on Sunday. Should be a good matchup (still can't talk about it ;)). I normally watch the UFC at home but would be happy to go to Wests? if that is what you wanna do. Have a few mates from karate that would be keen as well. Will sort something out closer to the day

Sorry mate just saw this today. Was pretty impressive and I was stoked for him. I think Uriah came out a bit tentative partly cause it is hard to want to smash the shit out of a good mate and he was obviously nervous about it being such a big fight. Both will be champions of the future. Watched a bit of the interview with sonnen today and was funny jones ripping off his tshirt. Heaps keen to get together to watch. Wests the go?

Shit, sorry mate.. Had to play footers yesterday (although, by my performanceon the field, I wish I had been at the pub boozing up and watching the fights, I would have been just as effective.. hahaha)

I haven't seen any of the fights yet, tried to hide from Facey or anywhere else so that I wouldnt get a spoiler, but of course a prick of a mate sent me a text detailing the Sonnen Vs Jones result.. So pissed off..
What did you make of it all?

I ended up just watching a stream at home cause I had a bit to do. There were a few good fights earlier but unfortunately sonnen just wasn't good enough to be in the contest. Jones got a nasty broken toe and if the ref had let sonnen defend till the bell he would have won (which would have been ridiculous if it happened). Jones is amazing. He doesn't like to be told someone is better at anything so he beats them using their strength. Risky but he has the skills to back it up

Yeah as much as I don't like to admit it, Jones is damn good..
I still haven't seen the fights yet, I went to download it last night and for some weird reason there were no seeders.. Not sure if there is a crackdown going on or what, but it gave me cold-feet.. hahaha

So instead I sat down and watched the previous weeks fights, on the Henderson Vs Melendez(?) main card.. The first fight was INSANELY good.. Brown Vs Mein, back and forth.. As Dana would have said "it was a war!!!"..
The next fight was awesome too.. Nate Diaz Vs Thompson.. I haven't seen a dude eat that many shins to the face in a long time..

This Sunday morning (our time), GSP vs Hendricks..
God damn I hope Hendricks can knock him out, don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of GSP but I'm a bit sick of his "boring" 5 round fights. He is too smart a fighter, always keeping his distance and taking the bloke down with a minute to go and then just laying on him and pinning him down in order to get the round..

Another awesome fight on the card is Chael Sonnen vs Rashad Evans..
