Mixed Martial Arts... Any Fans?

You don't know much about Hendo? He's a legend.

He normally fights at light heavyweight or middleweight, so he will be small compared to JDS, but Velasquez was small compared to Lesnar. Hendo has experience, a granite chin, heart, and most of all power. But, Dos Santos has age, speed, size, equal if not greater power, and a lot to prove. I'd pick "Cigano" to win, but everybody fears Hendos right hand.

Tompa

Wow, that was insane. The atmosphere and crowd were amazing, and the fights were great! And Gus won against a very dangerous opponent. That much fun should be illegal.

Suga/Bones for the LHW title this weekend, who wins?

juannaman

rashad's hand speed will probably catch jones of guard but i think his head movement will be the determining factor whether he can get on the outside and he has to avoid the clinch if he wants to avoid ( jon jones's greco roman background prefers clinching) and if he succeeds in doing that Jones will probably succumb to evans by the 4th

DevotedWalnut

As much as I hate to admit it, but I think Rashad will just be another punching bag for Jones.

Anybody interested in the co-main event? I really like MacDonald, future champ I think. Che Mills better be ready.

Tompa

MacDonald is an awesome fighter, I wish he'd fight someone more merited than Che Mills... Especially as a co-main event.

DevotedWalnut

They fed Mills to Rory so all the people tuning in to see Jones beat up Evans, can also see this GSP trained machine in welterweight. I agree it would of been nice to see him fight a bigger name guy, but take what I said into account as well as the fact Rory hasn't fought in almost a year prior to 145. I think he should get the winner of Koscheck vs. Hendricks. Winner gets a title shot, or is a win away from a title shot.

I want Joe Silvas job so bad.

Tompa

I'm guessing they don't wanna match him up with contenders just yet because they already have GSP-Condit and GSP-Diaz lined up. If MacDonald comes up and starts destroying the other contenders, they'd have a hard time selling everyone on anyone else than MacDonalds fighting for the belt.

juannaman

they should give macdonald martin kampmann as i really see hendricks having a good chance against gsp and think about it guys gsp and rory are close training partners it's too soon for a evans jones storyline

Yeah Kampmann would be an excellent matchup, he's a very tough guy and a gamer.

jonnypunk

Wow! i'm so excited to know whose gonna be his opponent.

DevotedWalnut

Hector Lombards UFC debut will be against former WEC Light Heavyweight champion "The All American" Brian Stann. Targeted to be on UFC on Fox 4.

Also José Aldo will look for his 4th title defense as he will defend against Erik Koch, who like Aldo, is undefeated in the UFC.

And lastly, former PRIDE Grand Prix champion and UFC Light Heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will take on Thiago Silva at UFC 149 in Calgary Alberta Canada.

All added to my ever-growing list.

Also, UFC on Fox 3 is this Saturday night. Picks? Got Rousimir Palhares vs. Alan Belcher, Pat Barry vs. Lavar Johnson, Josh Koscheck vs. Johnny Hendricks, and lastly Nate Diaz vs. Jim Miller.

I got Palhares by sub, Barry by TKO, Hendricks by decision, and Diaz by either sub or decision.

DevotedWalnut

UFC on Fox 3 tomorrow night, picks? Will be a good card.

I've got Diaz, Hendricks, Barry, and Palhares.

Tompa

What the fuck, didn't realize Hendricks was the favorite in the Koscheck fight.

Anyway:
