The fight of the night in my opinon will be the diaz and cerrone match i honestly cant see nick making it to the ground to get a submission other then getting dropped by cerrone numerous times.

Yeah times 2 on that. Nates a little bit like nick, great ground game but doesn't have the best takedowns minus that slick judo throw he hit on...Pelligrino((spelling)might not have been him either) Cerrone's been on a tear as well. Don't know how close to a shot he'd be in Bendo won seeing as his lost to him twice.
 
You're probably right about that one but judges value position over sub attempts. Looks at torres vs mighty mouse. Johnson was on top the hole time not doing a lot except for defending sub attempts. Edger vs cerrone would be a killer fight as well, cerrones never in a boring fight so be good to see how it all pans out.

Lesnar to wrestle Overeem away.

I tend to agree with this, although i was wrong with my last heavyweight prediction so who knows. Overeem's striking is superior so all he needs is to land one or two good ones and it's goodnight Brock, but i see Lesnar just overwhelming him on the ground.

As with any of the Diaz brother's fights, I'd like to see Nate get smashed. They rival Serena Williams for the biggest tools in sports. Loved it when Rory McDonald rag-dolled Nate with 3 body slams in a fight a while back. I think Cerrone will be too good.
 
Try mmashare.com or mmatko, they both seem to put up the fights straight away. Or you can pay X amount at mmashare and get the whole stream.

**KIND OF SPOILERS**
I made 3/4 of my picks. Surprised with the Hendricks/Fitch fight. Won't say too much incase people are going to download it later but ill be back on tomorrow or later today to discuss.
 
Finch- wow I did not expect that,
Diaz is the man, made him fight his fight and had pin point accuracy, cowboy was scared,
heavy weights- shit as always- although the next title fight with jds will be a good one

With GSP out for a yearish i thought this would be the only time Fitch would be able to grapple fuck his way to a title, guess not.

Diaz looked really good, got slapped a few too many times with leg kicks for my liking but out boxed Cerrone no problem.

Overeem vs Dos santos should be a solid fight for sure.
 
yeah I found it odd the cerrone didnt pounce on him after the leg kicks, even his coach told him after the first round to shot for the takedown yet he just seemed to scared to go to the ground with him,
 
Crazy bloody fights, would of loved Lesnar to get hit/bloodied a but more lol...

I wanted Diaz to win, but thought Cerrone would 'kick the crap out of him' but it turned intoa boxing match, not a kick boxing match. Great fight though, knew it would be awesome.

The last two events ahve been crazy too, 139 only had one fight go the distance, 140 was great.
 
To KFG and others.......I reckon we should be free to comment on fight results in this thread anytime we feel like. Don't worry about spoilers IMO. If I see in the 'unread posts' section that someone has posted in this thread, and I don't wanna know the results yet, then I don't open the thread. Simple. If we wait days to comment then half the 'thrill of the fight' is gone.

Anyways....well, pretty disappointed with Cerrone....he looked like a punching bag for Diaz. Why didn't he kick more?

And Lesnar.....shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, he looked mediocre to say the least. He doesn't like getting hit does he? Who does lol, but he has one of the lowest tolerances for gutting it out amongst the UFC fighters I've seen. When the ref waived it over, I saw Overeem raise his hands and start walking around the octagon....he did half a lap before i saw in the background Lesnar get to this feet. It was a similar finish against Velasquez, curl up against the fence without much comeback, like he's waiting for the ref to rescue him, rather than deperately fighting back. Oh well, sayonara Brock.

To be fair to Lesnar though, I think his health problems really set his UFC ambitions back. I got the feeling from his post-fight comments that he couldn't really focus 100% on victory and nothing else....I think he had one eye on the finish line and making sure his health doesn't deteriorate further. I'm not saying he would've beat Velasquez or Overeem without the problems, just saying he had distractions.
 
Here is what the fighters got paid, not a bad little retirement bonus for Brock considering he has had only 8 fights, oh well he must sell fights,
Diaz vs Edgar in my opinion would make one hell of a 5 round battle, both guys have great boxing and both guys have one hell of a tough chin

Pay-Per-View Bouts
Alistair Overeem ($264,285.71+$121,428.57=$385,714.28) def. Brock Lesnar ($400,000)
Nate Diaz ($37,000+$37,000=$74,000) def Donald Cerrone ($30,000)
Johny Hendricks ($26,000+$26,000=$52,000) def. Jon Fitch ($60,000)
Alexander Gustafsson ($16,000+$16,000=$32,000) def. Vladimir Matyushenko ($40,000)
Jimy Hettes ($8,000+$8,000=$16,000) def. Nam Phan ($8,000)
 
Gee wizz the heavies get a nice sum. Not a bad payout for Brock there!

GSP would have to be one of the highest paid i'm sure? Will be interesting to see what the title fight gets.
 
Inclusing sponsorships etc then yeah l think GSP would take in more then brock possibly but if you just go on the purse that the UFC discloses then Brock would take more.

Just checked it out then, GSP got 200k to show and 200k to win against shields so you're probably right.
 
No, not surprised.....I described her as a she-he in another thread awhile back...something had to be going on, she was so manly in appearance.

I'm pissed off actually. It's unfair to the other fighters, such as that very rootable darling of the octagon, Gina Carano. They should reinstate Gina as champ so we can see more of that awesome smile of hers.

She said in an interview lately that she 'may' be going back to training/fighting soon'ish' since she just finished 'Haywire'

Gina Carano vs Rhonda Rousey would be bonerific.
