He's supposedly fighting Woodley in May so it looks like 170.

Cool. I like Nate but I wish he didn't choke so much in the big fights.

starseed1981 · 02-24-12, 08:57 AM

So who does everyone have on the big event this weekend? I'm gonna roll with:

Bendo
Rampage
Hunt
Shields
Okami
Hioki
Lauzon

...I gotta a feeling I could be going 3 for 7 there.

aktick · 02-24-12, 09:14 AM

So the PPV is on at the normal time, but what time is it actually happening?

And are they airing more fights on the PPV than normal?

It's live, and there's 7 fights instead of 5 on the PPV. Prelims start on FX I think at 8EST.

I'm going with

Bendo
Rampage
Kongo
Shields
Okami
Hioki
Pettis

Thanks...so it probably won't be over until midnight or later our time?

MrX · 02-24-12, 11:34 AM

Yeah, I thought I read it's scheduled for 4 hours in case all 7 fights go the distance.

Thrush · 02-24-12, 11:45 AM

I'm done picking against Edagar. That little bastard always seems to find a way to win. Bendo is great but we've seen him struggle in the past with good strikers (Pettis).

MrX · 02-24-12, 10:38 PM

Least shocking news of the weekend, Rampage weighed in at 211lbs.

Thrush · 02-24-12, 11:47 PM

Wow, he wasnt even close. I wonder what happened.

Bader by UD

Chadm · 02-25-12, 04:11 AM

Frankie Edgar
Ryan Bader
Mark Hunt
Yushin Okami
Hatsu Hioki
Anthony Pettis
Takanori Gomi

I'm really looking forward to this card.

Said after that he was hurt in training and couldn't do his cardio until recently.

Aiii....I'm starting to think thats exactly whats gonna happen. The longer the fight goes the better for Ryan. Sigh.

MrX · 02-25-12, 09:21 PM

Damn, what a kick by Pettis.

That was great. Louzon just can't ever hang with the top guys.

MrX · 02-25-12, 09:37 PM

Hioki looks about 1000x better than he did against Roop.

And of course after I type that Hioki decides to stand with him and struggles in R2.

MrX · 02-25-12, 09:50 PM

Hioki is such a badass on the ground. Hope they put him against Aldo soon. That will be a hell of a fight as long as Hioki doesn't do something stupid, which is a possibility with him.

MrX · 02-25-12, 10:23 PM

Hell of a comeback by Boetsch

BravesMG · 02-25-12, 10:33 PM

Rogan's on-air orgasm about Boetsch's comeback was OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING... OUTSTANDING.

OUTSTANDING.

That has to be the greatest Rogan highlight of all time.

MrX · 02-25-12, 10:44 PM

This is going to be a fascinating fight to see how it's scored.

BravesMG · 02-25-12, 10:45 PM

If there ever was a draw, this was it.

I do think they should have taken a point away in the 3rd. But I'd probably go 1st round - Sexy, 2nd - 10-10, 3rd - Shields.

Edit: 30-27 across the board seems a little nuts, Sexyama really wasn't doing anything, but he was doing more damage.

MrX · 02-25-12, 10:48 PM

Wow, all 3 judges with the 30-27

BravesMG · 02-25-12, 10:54 PM

In retrospect it's funny, Shields would have been better off staying in Strikeforce.

BravesMG · 02-25-12, 11:02 PM

HA!!!!!!!!! God, I love Mark Hunt.
