Destino Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ronda beat the ever living **** out of that girl. Jeebus Girl was fighting the ref for a good while after the fight ended. Ronda beat dat butt. ... in 16 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) The craziest thing about that fight comes from Machida, actually. Going in to the 4th, everyone and their grandmothers thought Weidman was going to finish him. But Machida turned it on and won the round. Weidman was gassed like crazy, but Machida showed some major heart, and kind of snapped, to be honest. Good for him, Machida is great. Weidman still has a gauntlet to go through, and could see Machida again on the other end of it. Rousey vs. Davis was embarassing. Get Cyborg in there ASAP. Let her take whatever she wants, she'll still lose. At 135, and being on the shelf for so long (minus the kickboxing match with Baars), I think Ronda will toss her down and have her way. Cyborg's only chance is to Wandy her, I don't see it happening. I sense Dana making it rain for Gina next. Boy oh boy. Women's bantamweight is truly a wasteland.

#98QBKiller Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 That was a great main event. I hope Dana has some extra money for Machida/Weidman and for Urijiah Hall for helping keep this card together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Hall was game and landed some sweet shots, I thought he lost that fight. Santos' kicks were the difference IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogan & Goldie really got on my nerves that fight. They didn't acknowledge anything Santos did. It was all "look at how Uriah moves on a broken toe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I am rooting heavily for Penn tonight. Love the guy. If he gets a finish I may look like Anderson after Nog knocked out Schaub . Definitely will bring the chills. Penn at 145 for the first time, but will it rejuvenate him? It will have to. Frankie is a beast, a notch under championship level. Think he takes another decision, will just be too quick, same story as the past two fights. C'mon BJ and land that Sherk knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Although Hall was game and landed some sweet shots, I thought he lost that fight. Santos' kicks were the difference IMO. I had scored it for Hall but could see an argument for Santos too. I was more referring to the fact that he and his corner didn't allow the fight to be stopped by the doctors after round 1....imagine losing the Struve/Mitrione fight, having the Hall/Santos fight stopped after the first by doctors, and the Rousey fight only lasting 16 seconds....and this is after the card lost the Wand/Sonnen fight to begin with.

artmonkforHOF Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I find myself saying that about so many UFC fighters nowadays. Your not alone, with around 45 cards thus year, say 12 fights per card, that's over 1100 fighters a year, if they fight twice per year on average that's 550 fighters. Across what will be 10 divisions, that's 55 fighters per division. No wonder they expanded the rankings to top 15. Missed Rousey, trying to find a clip, heck a gif should do it. Had no idea Struve was cancelled, so I got to my boys place, he didn't notice the fight was missing & Machida Weidman got pushed up. I said we got plenty of time, won't start until 12:15 at the earliest & sat outside smoking & drinking on a nice night. Get back at 12:12, middle of the 3rd round. Machida looked good in the 4th, but I guess that was it. Good on Weidman, let's see him smoke Vitor next, them someone his own age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Vitor's cheating ass can go to the back of the line. I would rather see Rockhold, Kennedy, Jacare, or Mousasi get the next title shots. Let Vitor fight clean a couple of times to see if he really deserves the shot. I give Rockhold the best shot at dethroning Weidman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGoonie55 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Weidman earned the belt, finally, in my eyes. No fluke KO, no busted leg, straight 5 rounds to earn it. Man, we were going crazy yelling and screaming thinking Machida was going to knock him out in the 5th during that flurry. Weidman is tough. It's going to take someone with punching power to take that guy out, hes a beast. Rhonda is not going to lose anytime soon. I was concerned going into the fight, as Davis looked game and poised to give her a rough time. ....16 seconds later, I got up pissed because it was a scham. Good for Ronda, and I'm a HUGE fan, but cmon find this girl some competition. Great fight card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Dana has some extra money for Machida/Weidman and for Urijiah Hall for helping keep this card together. and the other Urijah didn't look to shabby either.....he was certainly a bright spot on this card, and made his case that he certainly doesn't belong on the prelims any more Edited July 6, 2014 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) I don't think it's a sham, but outside of Cyborg...these are literally the next best women available. That is why you also see Dana looking into bringing in champs/former champs of other combat sports to see if it will make for better challenges. If Ronda was in fact not in MMA, some of these women would be putting on entertaining fights against each other, think Meisha vs. Kauffman, Meisha vs. Zingano, etc etc.... The best way I can describe it is Ronda is the woman's version of Gracie in a sense in that she has been doing this since birth. At least Judo-wise. A lot of female fights in the current generation picked it up in their 20's because maybe they dated a guy who did it, or they saw it in their gym and took a liking to it. No matter how well they picked it up, A 3 month training camp is not going to sufficient in stopping an Olympics caliber skill set. If you are looking at Women's MMA in the long term, the hope is young girls see Ronda and other fighters as inspiration to get into the sport and become lifer's themselves the same way that it happened with guys after they were inspired seeing Royce Gracie choke out guys of all shapes and sizes.

Malapropismic Depository Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 How did one judge score the Weidman fight 49-45 ? Did they score either the 4th or 5th round as an even 9-9 for both fighters ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's lost all title fights in the UFC, now his stablemate is the champ at 135. Another stablemate is next in line at 145. He's still good enough to beat just about everybody else at 135, but you don't want a guy who won't be fighting for the title knocking off contenders. I was actually more impressed with Bruce Leroy last night. I never thought he would amount to much, but he gave Faber a much better fight than I imagined. I expected him to be steamrolled. How did one judge score the Weidman fight 49-45 ? Did they score either the 4th or 5th round as an even 9-9 for both fighters ? One judge gave Weidman a 10-8 for the 3rd round Edited July 6, 2014 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Bruce Leeroy moving down a weight division benefit him definitely. He is very lean and was probably going to get rag-dolled too much at 145. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Looking forward to seeing Justin Scoggins more than anyone else on the card. He's the future at 125lbs. He will now proceed to get Alexis Davis'd tonight because of this post. Edited July 6, 2014 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
