A friend of mine sent me this video of the Machida kick, thought it was pretty funny. Unfortunately it's not on youtube. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81489332/?lt=em

SU, thanks for the gif of the Machida kick. Loved all the fights but the GSP fight. I give props to GSP and his team for being able to correctly gameplan his fights, but they always tend to be boring and he never even attempts to finish his opponent anymore. I loved that flying triangle, the bar I was at went nuts when Garza did that.

I personally hate how much a takedown has influence over a fight. Jardine took him down 4 times, but did nothing else at all in the fight, which mousasi t'd off on his face.

Agreed, he tapped at the end.

Don't really have much else to say other than Jon Jones is amazing. So glad I bought tonight's fight. He could hold that title for a long time.

Just got back from watching it, and holy ****. I would have never expected a fedor loss a min in. Kinda stupid for him to jump into guard like that. Cung Le looked very good. And, the thomson/healy fight had a great ending. Good overall card.

I just got the chance to watch the last episode of TUF 11. I thought the McGee/Tavares fight was one of the best TUF fights I've seen. Awesome TDD, with a last second RNC to put him completely out. The other fight was decent, but McKray needs a ton of work, but he's got the wrestling skills to win fights. I think the new coaches made a HUGE difference in his game plan and fighting. I doubt he would have won the fight with Ortiz still coaching him. I got McGee winning the show. I'm slightly annoyed they are giving Yeager a piece of the main card for the show, even though he quit in his last fight.

I wouldn't give him that title just yet, but he is absolutely in the conversation. Outside of his fight with Griffen and his horrible fight with Coleman, he's been top notch.

Even thought I'm not happy with the results. I gotta give props to Shogun. He definitely learned from the last fight. Machida will be back against him soon, unless Silva takes him out first, lol. So, WTF was Daley thinking? Is he that much of a moron to do that. Looks like he's already out now, kinda like babalou, **** up once and you're out for good. Sad my boy lost, but excellent card overall.

I actually have a site where I can get a torrent for it fairly quickly without knowing who won. I just have to stay away from the comments, and well, any of the other MMA sites I normally visit during work. This is one of the few fights that I really want to watch live, with my buddies, and a bunch of beer.

So, I have a dilemma now, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. If you've seen my other posts here, I'm a pretty big Machida fan. I've been looking forward to this match since the last one. However, I have a new job now and I work overnight this Sat night, so I have to decide if I want to buy the PPV and take "lunch" right when the match starts, or hold off and pray I don't find out, and download it when I get home. I can't call off as I'm the only one that covers overnights right now. As for the fight itself, I'm pretty ****ing nervous. I'm one of the few that believe Machida won (I score fights as I see them, and if I thought Shogun won, I would say so). I had Machida winning by a very very slim margin. I hope Machida ends this one early so there is no controversy, but I can see Shogun ending it too. As for the other fights, I got Mitrione over Slice, Daley over Kos, Belcher over Cote, and Stephens over Stout.

Yeah, that kinda sucked, I think it grazed his head, but nothing bad enough to stop fighting. However, that GIF does show him hitting his hand pretty hard, maybe that's what broke it.

Yup, that was a sick choke. I didn't realize he had picked him off the ground until the replays.

I really like Maia, and I believe he is close, but this is going to be one tough fight for him. He is going to have to figure out a way to bring it to the ground. This one will be interesting to watch cause I like both fighters.

God I hope Henderson wins. I hate Varner so much.
