I hope Weidman wins.

And what a victory it was. And then he calls out Anderson Silva! Let's do it in Toronto. Just booked my hotel room on Tuesday for September 22nd.

That was a nice elbow.

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Thu Jul 12, 2012 8:27 pm

That it was, It was pure domination. Count me on the Chris Weidman band wagon now.

In other news...

"Big Country" Roy Nelson and former Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin will serve as coaches on TUF:16. Ross Pearson and George Sotiropoulis will serve as coaches for TUF: UK vs. Australia.

Nice to see Shane Carwin back!

Big Country has sick jiu-jitsu skills.

And he's just there for his beard. The coaches he brings in will do all the coaching.

Really!? I kinda imagine his style just being take a punch while timing it right so you hit back harder.

He's made all his money being that one punch knock out guy, but he got to the UFC because of his ground skills. There's just so many big strong wrestlers in the UFC, like Carwin, he has had to abandon the submission game.

Weird to have a guy that was basically uncoachable in his season of TUF to now be the coach himself.

It'd be tough taking orders from guys you know you'll be fighting in the near future.

I try to. But the new Friday night time slot makes it tough. That's why I got a PVR or DVR to you yanks.

I watched a few of the early seasons and the forced drama was annoying and the fights were never that great. Anything changed?

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:41 pm

Heh no, not really. The production is better now tha they have almighty FOX behind them. But the forced cornyness is still there, just like any other shitty reality show. But the fights are better now, as the fighters are getting better. Problem is, if you're a decent fighter nowadays you're already signed on and don't need to compete in TUF.

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:55 pm

...and the new Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion of the world, Renan Barao!!

Yeah, he'll probably kill Faber.

And I watched the best of Hector Lombard from Bellator, guys a tank. But Boetsch is a big fuck who can take a punch.

Kongo should beat Jordan, if not then Cheick will never be a top 5 heavyweight ever.

Picks?

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 8:03 pm

Rampage says that Chael Sonnen sucks and that Forrest Griffin is a cry baby who knew he lost to Tito, that's why he ran out of the cage.

Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann as the co-main event at UFC 152 in Toronto. The headliner you may ask? The first ever UFC Flyweight title fight between Demetrius "Mighty Mouse" Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez.

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and Middleweight #1 Contender "The Phenom" Vitor Belfort would like to fight either Chris "The All American" Weidman or the winner of Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch vs. former Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lomabrd at UFC 153 in Brazil.

traptunderice · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 8:32 pm

Rampage is awesome. And so is Bisping. You think Bisping could last against Silva?

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:02 pm

No. Bisping would stand and try to strike with Silva. 2nd round T/KO. Would sure as hell be fun to watch though.
