UFC Live 4 - "Queen Kongo" vs. Barry


***The ol' Dixie outlaw will be pullin' for (mulatto) Barry vs. (coal black) "Queen" Kongo, Grice, Lentz, Attonito (vs. ******* Roberts), Gamburyan & Brown (vs. "afflete" Howard).
 
The winner of Mitrione-Morecraft should enter the top 10 for heavyweights.

I do not expect much from Matt Brown. Every time I see him he gets tapped.
 
Ugh ... not our night.

Grice got tooled by Lamas and Lentz tapped to Oliviera (though it was an illegal knee and may get changed to an NC - Nick was getting owned anyway).
 
This card is so pro black it's not even funny, I'm not going to bother wathing the card. Micheal Johnson's opponent had only two wins in his career. Matt Brown was released from the UFC and Daniel Roberts is facing someone with no wrestling skill what so ever. I'd love to see Roberts and Askren.
 
and yes I know Atonito wrestled at Hoffstra, but his style isn't good for mma.
 
Well, Atonito took the first round so maybe he'll take at least one for us.
 
Does seem like a lot of black prospects taking on white journeymen (or no hopers in the case of Brown).
 
Attonito -like Grice before him - was going down a weight class as well and bragging about lost weight and feeling faster and stronger. I've never seen that strategy work (Carwin, Rogers and Brock are recent examples).
 
Well, looks like Attonito won all 3 against Roberts (surprised they didn't stop it as Roberts was almost out on his feet).

At least we won the only black v. white fight of the night so far.
 
don't nickname yourself Ninja if you have no striking. Robert is a lay-n-pray guy that doesn't get called on it because he's black.
 
I just read something about Edward Faaloloto, apparently when he was seventeen after his highschool graduation he was shot by a black gang because he is a mix of Samoan and Italian, seems like a nice guy a navy vet and English teacher. I think his UFC days are over.
 
They should call him "the Gas Man" as he gassed out after the first minute.

Still not really sold on Attonito but glad he beat the black hype tonight.

Who knows, maybe Brown will land something early against Howard as well.
 
Mitrione looking very good. I hope he fights Kongo next as he will destroy that hype job.
 
Did an alien suddenly inhabit the body of Matt Brown? The dude looks awesome and is toying with John Howard. He even showed some ground game.

Very pleasant surprise (so far).
 
I had brown winning a 3 rounds. the reason i gave him the third was because he was winning the strking for the first half and Howards takedown atempts left him open for long periods getting punched in the face.
 
Both white but would rather see Story win as he is close to a title shot and is very well rounded.

Brenneman is basically just a solid wrestler.
 
...Any of ya'll fellers have a streaming link? We 86'd the cable last year, and this is the (rare) time when I miss having it (when MMA's on).

Dixie - that link is gold. I get all the UFC, Strikeforce and boxing through it.
