***The ol' Dixie outlaw will be pullin' for GSP, Cote, Cruickshank, Dillashaw & Roop.

 

[Liverlips]

Decent (and very white-friendly) card.

 

[Liverlips]

George Roop is 6'1 and dropped down to 135. Looks like a scarecrow. Hope he doesn't gas or get KO'd as most do when dropping a weight class.

 

[Liverlips]

Roop earns the UD :israel:

 

[Liverlips]

Wow - very sweet takedown by Dillashaw.

 

[Liverlips]

Very impressive KO win by Dillashaw!

This guy could be a champ one day with his wrestling and heavy hands.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I like Jordan mien I think he has a bright future in mma.

 

[Liverlips]

Jordan Mein becomes the first man to stop Dan Miller. Only 23 so another white young gun to watch.

Hope Dan does not get cut and that he goes back up to 185. Really looks emaciated and drawn at 170.

 

[Liverlips]

Darren Elkins with the KO. 5-0 at 145. He has great wrestling as well.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I actually think the Carvolho stoppage was a good one and the reason I say that is because I've seen his past fight and he has a glass jaw despite not be knocked out much. What usually happens is a handful of punches stun him and then he spends the rest of the fight stalling.

 

[Old Scratch]

I like Jordan mien I think he has a bright future in mma.

Rory MacDonald and Jordan Mein could be a big rivalry in 3-4 years.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I had Voelker defeating cote but it was his hometown, so what did you expect.

 

[Hawkeye2]

TUF men and women is stupid.

 

[Old Scratch]

Can Nick Diaz stop the takedown Dana White wonders.

I don't think he can, nor would he want to...

 

[Old Scratch]

I had Voelker defeating cote but it was his hometown, so what did you expect.

I thought Cote won round 1 but didn't think he would get the nod since he was on his back the last 2 minutes.

 

[TBProdigy]

Would like to see Hendricks win this, he is the way more exciting fighter!

 

[TBProdigy]

That and I love his country music entrance

 

[Old Scratch]

Would like to see Hendricks win this, he is the way more exciting fighter!

I don't agree with that, Condit has like a 95% finishing rate in his wins with a more varied technical attack.

 

[Old Scratch]

This fight needs 5 rounds.

 

[Old Scratch]

Carlos probably ain't getting that decision but I'm very confident that he would have finished him if he had 2 more rounds.

 

[Old Scratch]

Awesome fight but it's a real bummer it's only 3 rounds.

 

[TBProdigy]

Yeah Hendricks gassed in the 3rd but won the 1st and 2nd, probably the 3rd too.


The only thing I didn't like about Hendricks was the takedowns purely for the points, you should do some damage after the takedown!

 

[Old Scratch]

How was that not a point deduction? He swung at him well after the bell rang.

 

[Old Scratch]

GSP seemed to look a lot leaner than usual, especially at the weighins.

 

[Old Scratch]

The way they show rankings is really dumb. The champion is "C" and the #1 contender is "1," so Jake Ellenberger was ranked #7 at WW but he was shown as "6," the 6th contender.
