Randy looks like he's really packed on some weight. He looked pretty big in that suit.

 

[onebigeric]

He'll have no problem dieting down if it becomes necessary. He's always occupied a lower weight tier in his division anyway, but I wouldn't like to see him cap 230.

I thought it was pretty funny how Rogan and Mike tried to talk Sinosic up as some kind of 'gatekeeper' for the UFC; he's 1-6 now, that just means he sucks on the big stage. Even so, the way in which Bisping straight up dominated him was truly impressive.

 

[onebigeric]

Good event.. I called gonzaga to win just b.c this seems to be the year of the upsets.. Im so sad that CroCop lost... dana must be pissed! haha

Dana was pushing Gonzaga before he signed Mirko, so I'm sure it was pretty much sixes for him. I'm sure he's just glad Crocop didn't seriously break something with the way his leg folded up underneath him.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

i hope we can see Cro Cop vs Arlovski now, or maybe Cro Cop vs Vera...or even Cro Cop vs Nogueira...by the way, even though it was boring as fuck, Arlovski owned Werdum, he proved hes not a flash in the pan, i hope they keep making the top HWs fight one another, id rather see a good fight with 2 tops HWs than whats supposed to be a squash match (Bisping vs Sinosic)

I knew I saw a slap.

 

[Natureboypkr]

i was very surprised

 

[Minchinator]

I knew I saw a slap.

I believe Rogan even mentioned the open hand slap when it happened during the fight, kinda funny. I could not believe that Gonzaga won in the fashion he did, I thought he could win the fight if he got it to the ground and it looked like he would have won it from there pretty easily - I thought that stand up was shit, Gonzaga was elbowing the crap out of him - but whatever, the high kick was a surprise to me but it was freaking awesome and made sitting throgh Arlovski's bore fest worth it.

Hey now, it wasn't Arlovski's bore fest

That was all on the head-slapper himself. Andre has proven time and time again that he's a finish type of fighter, but it's hard to do that when your opponent is constantly giving ground. Chasing down a heavy in BJJ is a sure ticket to disaster; gave me my only loss to date, via a kneebar, and I've sure as heck learned from that.

true, it may have been boring, but it was the plan that AA needed to execute to get the win, props to him for that

I agree, I look forward to Arlovski's fights, I blamed the wrong man.

That was a crazy fight but i think The Count got close to losing but he just didn't get finished off

 

[onebigeric]

I feel Bisping was surprised by Sinosic's little jab, especially considering the fact that he was nearly finished in round one. He never really was in any danger there though; just another black mark on Elvis, seeing as how he couldn't do a thing with a hook and someone's back. The way he drop-rolled into guard was smooth and controlled; his g'n'p during the first round was exceptionally brutal as well

I thought it might have been upset city though when the knee dropped him in the 2nd round

 

[CaptainCharisma]

if Bisping lost to Sinosic THAT would have been the biggest upset of the year, i mean Sinosic doesnt even have a winning record

 

[Tech]

I know you guys have all probably seen this, because its old. But I just refound it and thought I'd post it.

Fedor talking shit about Crocop. Calling him a faggot and pussy.

[CaptainCharisma]

ya i remember seeing this, id never seen Fedor getting pissed like that before

 

[fallen]

yeah and he still wasn't all crazy or anything, still was straight faced

 

[CaptainCharisma]

thats why Fedor is the man, i think the best example of his control was when Hunt had him in that Americana and it was fully extended and his face is completley plain, like hes relaxing on the beach

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Mirko arrived to his hometown today, he was limping a bit. He said: I deserved that loss because of the way i was fighting. I fall down every now and then, i was twice in this situation, after Randleman and after Fedor and i got back up again, i will be back this time too, that is a part of my career. I have 4 more fights to come and i will do them all.

That's the Cro Cop i wanted to see, even he knows this is his fault, he'll be back like a bat out of hell

true that is something very few people can do
