I'm quickly becoming a fan of Jon Jones. I think others are as well, and the UFC is doing a good job putting him on a lot of these free cards to help boost their ratings.

I am surprised it's on Versus, and not Spike. So much for HD UFC tonight.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

I got Versus HD I might check this one out.

Edit: Yushin Okami is on the card. I'm definitely checking this one out.

I love Jon Jones, but don't sleep on The Janitor. Vladdy is a tremendous fighter and always has been.

 

[Mr. Truth]

No prediction contest for me since I'm really not sure on most fights. Pumped to see Jones (hopefully) win again.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

John Howard is from Boston and has a head tattoo like Bam Bam Bigelow.

I hope he wins.

 

[Mr. Truth]

Tonight's card shouldn't disappoint. Lots of fun fighters.

 

[Mr. Truth]

I figured a fun free card would get more people in the LD. Guess not.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I'll be in and out.

Bigelow's was way more badass!

Alot of the casual fans probably don't know most of the names on the card.

 

[Mr. Truth]

Alot of the casual fans probably don't know most of the names on the card.

If there's any fighter I'd recommend to a casual fan, Jones is the guy.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Right Jones is a beast, tech. should be still undefeated, he was whoopin Hamill's ass and just didn't know what else to do after all those elbows.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Damn wtf is a matter with Tyson, dude is horrible now!

 

[Mr. Truth]

Yup, Maz should have stopped the fight before the illegal elbows.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Jeff is going to be psyched about Gomi... and Tyson Griffin is a complete bitch.

 

[jmt225]

Jeff is going to be psyched about Gomi...

You goddamn right I am!!!

Fuck, I couldn't be more happy for Gomi, man. He deserved this.

Also, this should remind people that Gomi has without a doubt the most powerful punches in the Lightweight Division. It's not even a debate. That haymaker he throws is so devastating and beautiful. Nick Diaz calls it a "Hadouken Punch" and that's exactly what Griffin got hit with tonight.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Ha Guy, that was just Howard's haircut, the flames were shaved in, not a tat like Bam Bam!!

 

[Via Armbar]

Gomi should never be counted out. Putting out somebody who has never been put out is pretty rad.

 

[Mr. Truth]

Gomi should never be counted out. Putting out somebody who has never been put out is pretty rad.

I've liked Gomi since I've started watching fights and never really understood why people did count him out.

 

[Via Armbar]

The memory of mma fans are the worst. After one or two losses everyone sucks.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Howard's eye is jacked

 

[Mr. Truth]

Boooo. Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssss.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Damn Doctor, that was about to be a 10 pointer for me, now its just a 8 pointer!

 

[INDYjon22]

Fuck.....John Howard's eye is messed up.
