d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 That's exactly what I immediately thought. Bigfoot tested positive for that fight. I know there aren't a lot of fights to choose from Dana, and yeah that fight was insane, but perhaps you could rep another one. Matt Brown weighs in at 172.5, athletic commission won't let him cut any more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Update from twitter, doctor advised Brown to stop cutting weight. Brown thought the doctor was preventing him from doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 UFC signed 2008 Olympic Gold medalist Henry Cejudo. Should inject some talent into the 125lb division. Hopefully his head on right, he has a long history of flaking out at odd times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I can't recall a gold medalist ever being in the UFC. I know Rulan Gardner fought in Pride once. Have a feeling they might break Ronda/Gina news during the fights tonight. Seems like perfect timing. Give her a ringside seat, have Ronda there, interview them together...

I  Kevin Jackson went 2-2 in the UFC, I can't think of any other gold medalist who have fought in the UFC.  When they do announce Rousey/Carano, it will be interesting to see how they promote it. Carano's highlights might not even be in HD lol.   as for tonight:  Lawler over Brown by (T)KO: I know he's on a run, but I still can't get behind Brown. He has shown improvement, but I think his run is more about fortuitous timing and matchmaking than anything else. Lawler is better just about everywhere.  Rumble over Lil Nog by (T)KO: Nog gets the moral victory of not being forced to pull out before this fight. Rumble has pretty good defensive wrestling and if Nog can't get him down, its going to get ugly very fast.  Bermudez over Clay Guida by Unanimous Decision  Josh Thomson over Bobby Green by Unanimous Decision Edited July 26, 2014 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Good call on Kevin Jackson...and this time I'm picking the same guys you are. Gotta switch up my tactics from time to time. Picking the opposite of you doesn't always work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked pretty good, still needs time to develop. Took Kingsbury down a hell of a lot, but Kyle kept getting back up. Hope they don't throw him to another wolf. He needs to fight more guys in the lower tier of the division. Kingsbury is basically the Glass Joe of LHW. Give him Von Keiser, not Mr. Frickin Sandman.

I caught the first couple rounds, then had to drop a deuce in the 3rd. He got dropped badly early in the first round, but recouped quickly, and had a strong 2nd round. He won the decision.

That shot he got hit with in the 1st looked like a kill shot, but he bounced right back up a half second later. Even won the rest of the first round. Clearly won the 2nd & 3rd on the strength of his grappling. Very good well balanced fighter. I doubt he ever fights for a title, but he's a tough out for anybody.   8 in a row for Bobby Green, never saw this kind success coming for him, especially within the UFC. Edited July 27, 2014 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Clay needs to get off the coffee, Red Bull and cocaine, then move to Thailand for a couple years, and hire Rickson Gracie. Or just retire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Clay has always relied on his bouncing around like a Q-Bert character as his main defense. It looks like age robbed him of some speed and now he's got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 They usually don't do high profile fights with one guy coming off a loss, but Glover vs. Rumble would be great as long as it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I can't see any outcome that isn't Lawler winning fairly easily tonight. Not sure how powerful that immortal crazy trance thing he does is but I think he's catching a beating tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
