There are certainly some weak cards lately. The all heavy weight card (145?) was the best overall card of this year I reckon.

As for 150. Apart from the top 5 fighters, I don't know any besides Jimmy Hettes, Charlie Brenneman, Kyle Noke and Matt Hamil. 3 of which are prelim fighters lol.

You're missing it again - they refused Sonnen for a fight in 8 days time. They accepted Belfort for a fight on a completely different card, in a month's time on UFC 152.

How fast is edgar going to be at featherweight... :eek:
Click to expand...

He should be little quicker but everyone at featherweight is fast as fuck... l think it might be similar to the Mike Swick situation, he was stupidly fast at middleweight and it was a massive advantage then when he dropped to WW hes still fast but its not nearly as big of an advantage.... Could be wrong though.
 
Yeah, I'd tip Aldo to win. Edgar has a chance, he'd need to use his speed and catch Aldo off-guard with a few fast punches, like how he clocked Maynard.

l hope Aldo does to Frankie what he did to Faber is Sacramento just on a more brutal scale. Dislike frankie....

^this! lol

can't fucking wait. good match up, but I hope frankie gets ruined lol.... Hope Aldo destroys him for a few rounds then goes for the finish.

I'll be pretty pissed off if Frankie dances his way to a UD win.

Pretty sure Jones will tear Sonnen a new arse if and when they meet.

Jones right and very fair to decline fight with Sonnen on short notice.

Sonnen is with Team Quest and was training with Hendo for the Hendo v Jones fight. Sonnen would have been privy to all/alot of the pre fight analysis Team Quest would have done, ie. Sonnen prepared for a fight with Jones but Jones prepared for a fight with Hendo NOT Sonnen.

While this isn't the early UFC days no more, the old adage is still somewhat true: "styles make fights". Jones's strategy (and to some degree style) would have been directed to Hendo a righty NOT Sonnen a southpaw. A totally different fight for Jones.

I can tell you, Southpaws (like myself) get much more trainng against Righties than do Righties against Southpaws.

FUCKIGN ALDO INJURIED AGAIN!!!

Haven;t seen him fight in ages, fuck, so devastated now. Wanted to see him wreck Frankie. Think its minor though, so hopefully its just a delay. As long as he doens't get fucking hurt again.


Hope they set up some sick replacement fights.

Who? Anderson Silva vs Stephan Bonner? Are u fuarrrrrking kidding me???? That's laughable. Har har. Even Mark Coleman beat Bonner FFS. If it gets past the first round I'll do a naked moonwalk on the Sydney Harbour Bridg with arms outstretched twirling hoola hoops.
