Yeah i saw those things. I am so excited for Reem vs JDS!!! I can't wait that long!!!

Mir-Cain is a very good matchup stylistically, and should be entertaining. Neither is primarily a standup fighter, but both have improved a lot on their feet. Mir has had a weakness with strong wrestlers in the past so this will be a huge test for him. This may finally be a wrestler he can hang with "strength wise" though so it could be interesting. Also Velasquez's sub defense hasn't really been tested, so it will be interesting to see it Mir can catch him with anything. I dislike both fighters personally, but it should be fun to watch.

I really don't want to watch Tito and Forrest again...

idk I can see cain winning this fight fairly easy. its titos last fight so might as well make it appealing.

I see Cain winning also, because of 1 thing: CARDIO

Cain's relentless pace will wear down Mir quick, and Mir has had questionable cardio since he has bulked up. Especially against Big Country he looked really bad towards the end of the fight. But early on, he could catch Cain with a sub. Mir is the most dangerous BJJ guy in the division (except maybe Werdum) and we have no idea what Cain's BJJ defense is like.

Maybe I'm just saying that because I hate Cain. I don't really like Mir either but I will pull for him in this fight.

It's pretty fun. I had the chance to go to Jones Vs Matyushenko and had tickets for Velasquez Vs Lesnar but had to get my refund last minute. You should enjoy it.

Idk what it is but UFC events attract lots of hot women lol.

Bummer , besides not having Fuel TV I also have class tomorrow night.

holy crap that was awesome!!!!!!!!

we sat in the front row of the first section that was not on the floor. right next to where the fighters came out and when they would leave the octagon we got to slap their hands as they went by.

i also met Houston Alexander who was hanging out most of the time right next to me taking pictures with fans and meeting people.

the energy in that place was amazing when Jake ellenberger fought.

boy am i kicking myself for not bringing a camera.

was easily one of the best times i have had at a sporting event ever.

cant wait until i go to another event, i am hooked now!!!!

[ebsoria]

How many of you guys caught this?? Just... sick....

[jc13]

wow UFC 144 is gonna be off the chain mayne!!

Pettis
Hioki
Okami
Akiyama
Hunt
Rampage
Henderson

those are my picks.

If there was to be any surprises then id say that Mark Hunt will KO Kongo. Akiyama will finish Shields , and Bendo - Edgar will go 5 rounds.

I absolutely love the Japanese crowd. Some of the most respectful fans in the world.

[jc13]

Anthony pettis is a beast

[InElwayWeTrust]

One of the best cards in a long time!!! Great fights all around!!!! And all the fighters I wanted to win, won! Except Rampage, god he looked awful.

Anyways, loved this card, and the fans were great.

Oh, and I'm listening to the post fight interviews.

Frankie Edgar is high on some strong stuff

He just got absolutely WHOOPED and somehow thinks he got robbed??

[jcdavey]

edgar got screwed

when you're a champ you only lose when you get ko'd or dominated, and there was no dominance that fight

total BS

and benson needs a haircut

the only thing henderson did was an upkick and an almost guillotine

edgar caught his leg all damn night, and even stunned him near the end of the fight

that was a draw at best

I seriously hope you're kidding!?!?!?

Let me ask you a question. Pretend that fight didn't just happen and answer this completely on its own, and tell the truth.

You and I get into a fight (over Tebow and Rivers ). I punch you 5 times, but none really hurt, or effect you in any way. They you hit me with one punch and it shatters my nose leaving me in a bloody mess.

Who just won that fight?

it doesn't matter how the fighter looks at the end of the fight, edgar was messed up but actually in better shape stamina wise than henderson

edgar as a champion, did nothing to lose the title, and had nothing done to him to lose the title

that's just fact


you have to tko, ko , submit, or thoroughly dominate a champ to get the title, or it's bull****


henderson excelled at getting his leg caught , that's it
