MMA December - Season's Beatings to All

[Turd Ferguson]

Couple things of note from the weigh-ins.

1.) Melvin REALLY wants to get his hands on Varner. So he'll probably fall into a guillotine in the first.

2.) Leben looks like he had a really bad weight cut.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Welp, I wouldn't plan on Glover getting his hands on and destroying Rampage.

Heard a great rumor today..

A guy on the ROSTER is DUCKING FIGHTS until his contract expires!For legal reasons,I can't say his name, but it rhymes with JENTON QUACKSON!

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Also, I really like Jon Anik, seems like a good guy and he's very good on PBP.

That being said, it just wasn't the same without Goldberg last night and it looks like it's anyone's guess when he returns. He alluded to a health problem on Twitter and post-fight, when Dana was asked about his returning, he just said to move on to the next question and that Goldie was going to be out awhile.

Really hope everything's alright. Goldberg and his goofy charm and chemistry with Rogan add so much to the fights.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Forcing us to pay attention to DREAM's NYE Card might have been the greatest thing ever. Kang missed weight and Manhoef tried knocking him out on the scale.

I hope to everything that is holy that video exists of this.

Rampage is a fucking joke.

 

[Fizzy]

Anderson just signed a 10 fight contract lol

 

[jmt225]

DREAM starts in 30 minutes for any of my MMA crew that's still up.

 

[Blue Chipper]

What is that, jmt? Is it on television? I'm not a hardcore MMA fan by any means, but I'm in the mood for some combat sports (i.e., fighting).

It's a Japanese event. It airs on 14 hour delay on CBS Sports, but I have a stream going. I'll PM you.

 

[jmt225]

Man, Will Brooks is a beast. For a guy with only 7 fights to go to Japan and dominate a guy as good and experienced as Kitaoka is VERY impressive. This guy has a bright future ahead of him.

 

[Fizzy]

Did Manhoef fight yet?

 

[jmt225]

Did Manhoef fight yet?

No, we're only two fights in. Marlos Coenen is fighting some no-name right now.

 

[jmt225]

As expected, dominating performance from Marloes Coenen. The UFC needs to sign her.

 

[jmt225]

Hayato Sakurai vs. Phil Baroni up next. Can't wait to see Sakurai kill this fuck. I cannot stand Baroni.

 

[jmt225]

Good fight. Wish Mach could have gotten the finish, but still a pretty dominating performance regardless. Happy for him.

 

[jmt225]

Lol, Melvin Manheof's entrance has to go down as one of the most awesome of all time.

 

[jmt225]

Lol, well that was quick. Kang came out throwing bombs only to get kneed in the body and quit.

 

[jmt225]

Absolutely sick BJJ from Bibiano Fernandes. Very impressive.

 

[jmt225]

Well, Aoki/McKee had a weird finish. McKee tapped after getting punched in the eye. What a bum.

 

[jmt225]

Good fight between Takaya and Karakhanyan. Was rooting for Takaya but Karakhanyan deserves the decision. Won't be surprised if he gets robbed here though.

 

[jmt225]

Absolute domination from Kawajiri for all 3 rounds against Omigawa. Not surprising, but still disappointing. Also, Kawajiri was supporting the worst hairdo in the history of combat sports....

Regardless, great show overall despite the lackluster main event.

 

[Da Prophet]

I'm watching TUF season 5 (one of the gifts I got for christmas) and it still amazes me that Nate Diaz actually knows the name of a novel and that he can use the title to correctly describe a situation. He's a man of the world that Nate Diaz.
