General UFC/MMA/boxing discussion - Bute vs. Pascal?

Et le But · 12-08-2012, 05:59 PM

At least Eller is back to tweeting about fights and not the lockout.

So who is watching JMM/Pac 4 tonight? My expectations are low.

Maybe stick to boxing or k-1 if you don't like the ground game?

This has been an awesome card so far for the UFC. One fight was boring but the rest were crazy.

That Yves KO was great.

yes it was. Also that Martinez Cruickshank fight has to win FOTN.

Rory is impressive so far!

gunners14henry · 12-08-2012, 08:03 PM

Rory was just toying with him that whole fight. He could've finished it in the 1st/2nd round, but I really think he wanted to hurt Penn more than knock him out.

He's a huge welterweight fighting a past his prime retired lightweight. I can't wait for someone to knock him out..

HankyZetts · 12-08-2012, 08:35 PM

Is no one watching Pacquiao? I love both fighters but pulling for Manny!

I'm just hoping for a controversial ending so I can lash out at the boxing universe once more.

He challenged Condit for a rematch... we'll see how he does against someone his own size.

Kenny Powders · 12-09-2012, 12:12 AM

Pacquiao got knocked!

Much more entertaining than I was expecting, Pacman was beating in JMM's face and them BAM!

Manny is basically finished as a top tier fighter though.

Myron Gaines* · 12-09-2012, 12:32 AM

Marquez deserved this outcome.

Respect for Manny, but it's over man.

NewHabsEra · 12-09-2012, 10:26 AM

I say justice! It was Marquez time! Should have won at least 1 more against Pacman..

Did I ever say I disliked the ground game? Nope. I actually like it. It's just not that exciting watching a GSP fight and being ~90% sure of the scenario of the fight, which is how I feel with the next matchup. What would be awesome is if he'd pull a submission or would finish him by referee stoppage, but it seems unlikely. That's all.

And I find your message quite stupid.

For instance, you didn't find his fight against Condit exciting?

It was a superb fight because of the matchup. I don't see the point of GSP facing Diaz, after having defeated Condit in a reasonably dominant fashion. Diaz's last fight was against who? Condit! And Condit won it.

I believe Hendricks should've been GSP's next opponent, but I suppose White wants to 'hype' him up more before giving him a title shot, so what could possibly happen is Hendricks facing off against Condit.

Seems Dana White feels the same way about Silva than I do.

anyone who thinks GSP is in the same class as Silva is smoking some good ****, Im not saying GSP could never beat Silva but it would take a lot of luck.

Uh, about 99% of the people feel that way not just you.. sorry to ruin the party.

Rory will lay a tune job on Condit the 2nd time around

I'll make that bet! Condit wins the rematch.

Nope, Rory dominated for most of the first bout and he gained a lot of experience since then. It will be like GSP-Hughes 2 IMO, with all due respect to Carlos.
