Isn't it supposed to have started by now?

It started over an hour ago. Keep hitting the power button if it says it's off, or if you have to just get a shitty stream from atdhe.net or p2p4u.net

Holy shitttttttttttt at that round

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #363 on:** July 03, 2010, 11:45:26 PM »

No cardio at all but especially none for Akiyama. 2nd fight in a row he gassed in badly.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #364 on:** July 03, 2010, 11:49:41 PM »

They were pummeling each other pretty badly, though. Leben pulled that out of his ass. Entertaining fight.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #365 on:** July 03, 2010, 11:51:20 PM »

WTF

Chris Leben submitting Akiyama was about as unlikely as Fedor losing to Werdum.

edit: I don't remember Akiyama gasing like that against Belcher -- or at least certainly not as soon. But then that was a year ago, so maybe I'm wrong.

True. I just kinda hate to see fighters gas that badly as all technique tends to go out the window. And Akiyama is really bad on that count. Good fight though. Good card and we haven't even got to the main event yet. Leben is absolutely silly trying to call out Silva though. Dude already whipped his ass and would have dusted the Leben of tonight too.

EDIT: I now realize Leben was probably calling out Wanderlei Silva rather than Anderson Silva. My bad.

How strong is this asshole, goddamn. He's like the Hulk.

He took a beating, and still had the monstrous strength to choke Carwin.

LESNAR IS A FUCKING MONSTER

Cain looks shit scared

Best UFC show I've seen in YEARS. Almost as good as the WEC PPV this year.

Leben v Wanderlei could be amazing

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #382 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:28:11 AM »

Well now Velazquez knows the plan.

Lay and pray baby, lay and pray. If a dude with the power of mjolnir in his hands can't finish the hulk, don't expect your puny human hands to be able to do it.

You just gotta...pray son.

On the contrary. What I saw was that Brock reacts ridiculously poorly to getting hit. What failed Carwin was his gas tank, as he punched himself out.

We know Velasquez has good cardio, and that his striking technique is very good, crisp and fast. Cain's path to victory very well could be in outstriking Brock, if he can shrug off a few takedowns.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #384 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:51:50 AM »

It's amazing to think that a couple of years ago the heavyweight division was a real albatross for the UFC and now their most lucrative fights coming up are probably in that division.

Indeed.

Though we probably wouldn't have been saying that if Carwin won tonight.

In his first appearance in almost a year, Brock Lesnar left the Octagon with the undisputed heavyweight championship around his waist and hefty lump of money in his bank account.

Lesnar submitted the previously unbeaten Shane Carwin with a second-round arm-triangle choke in the UFC 116 “Lesnar vs. Carwin” main event on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The victory, his first since an intestinal disorder nearly ended his career in late 2009, earned him a $75,000 “Submission of the Night” bonus.

Carwin had Lesnar on the run in the first round, after his heavy hands put the champion on his back. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar weathered the attack and tired Carwin in the process. At the start of round two, it became clear Carwin had little left in the gas tank.

Meanwhile, Chris Leben and Yoshihiro Akiyama pocketed a $75,000 bonus for “Fight of the Night,” as did “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 1 finalist Stephan Bonnar and Krzysztof Soszynski. Leben finished Akiyama with a third-round triangle choke in the co-headliner. Bonnar put away Soszynski with a second-round knee strike and follow up punches in a featured light heavyweight attraction.

Finally, Carwin’s Grudge Training Center teammate, Gerald Harris, banked a $75,000 bonus for “Knockout of the Night” after he rendered Dave Branch unconscious with a powerful slam in the third round. Harris, 30, has rattled off 10 consecutive victories, nine of them finishes.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #387 on:** July 04, 2010, 01:32:53 AM »

"This isn't about me tonight," said Lesnar, who made his first appearance in nearly a year. "This is about my family. This is about my doctors. This is about my training partners, my training staff. I am blessed by God. Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you a humble champion. And I'm still the toughest SOB around, baby."

What a narcissistic idiot. I hope someone knocks him the fuck out soon.

Doesn't change the fact that he got knocked out by an old and crippled Steve Austin.

Once a jobber, always a jobber.

chronovore · « **Reply #391 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:58:06 AM »

Man, that card absolutely did not go as I'd thought. I'd have lost on almost every fight, except for betting on Lytle just because I like him.

Yep. If Cain can avoid the mat and get Lesnar running scared a la Kalib Starnes like Carwin did, Cain is gonna beat that ass. I was pretty surprised at how mediocre Brock's striking defense still is. Guess that's just not something he's gonna excel it

chronovore · « **Reply #401 on:** August 01, 2010, 10:57:12 PM »

It looked like Munoz took the 2nd round and Okami was clearly dominant in the 3rd. I bet both fighters wish they'd turned it up a little more in the first. Does Okami's ground game look that bad compared to Munoz'?

Either Anderson Silva knees the fuck out of Sonnen's face in the first ten seconds, or we get five rounds of the Silva Dancing Clinic. Either way, Silva wins.

I detest Sonnen which is rare for me when it comes to fighters. I hope Silva crushes him tonight.

chronovore · « **Reply #406 on:** August 07, 2010, 10:17:31 PM »

Silva's deadly, and Sonnen's got a big mouth. I don't think his expectations are realistic, but after the weird showboating and rules-lawyering (win 3 rounds, coast 2), I'm hoping to see Silva ousted.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #407 on:** August 07, 2010, 10:39:56 PM »

I admit it. If there was one dude I would be gay for it would be Randy Couture. Dude always looks like a pimp.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #410 on:** August 08, 2010, 12:06:43 AM »

Alves needs to move up a weight class. He can't beat Fitch. He can't beat GSP. And he struggles to make weight.

chronovore · « **Reply #411 on:** August 08, 2010, 12:10:17 AM »

Alves seriously looks like he's in the wrong weightclass. I mean, even when he does make weight, he looks like he showed up at the wrong fight.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #418 on:** August 08, 2010, 12:46:57 AM »

I hate Chael Sonnen as a human being but there was no doubt about this one. He completely decimated Silva in this one. He talked the shit and he backed it up. That's what you are supposed to do.
