Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)

DHK would love that fight imo because its a big name even though he has lost two in a row

Hendricks vs GSP will not be like GSP/Kos i promise.
Koscheck never once had GSP in danger when Hendricks will most certainly throw his looping big left hand with all hes got to finish GSP.
just one punch and GSP is out cold. did u see hendricks KO of Kampmann? he barely tapped him and kampmann flew backwards with his head slamming the mat.

heres the gif. looks like he barely touches him yet he flys backwards. insane power

Lol yeah I saw it. Moving straight backwards with your chin straight up and pawing a jab is asking for trouble. That and the Fit h KO are remarkably similar. Hendricks is deceptively quick.
 
Love the Rousey v Tate/Zingano winner idea for next TUF coaches. Should make for a MTV RW/RR type of atmosphere in the house.

April is going to be some good/great matches too.
 
Tate/Zingano was a barnburner. They were a little off technically (especially Miesha's boxing) but the ground scrambles were fun to watch. And Zingano's knee strikes were crazy, even if Miesha was ok she was getting smacked good by them. No use in messing up a pretty face any more than it already was. As for Zingano's next fight, her reach will only be a problem if Rousey cant grab it for an armbar. Should be an interesting TUF show coming up.

Faber/Jorgenson was a pretty good fight. Its kind of sad that he (Faber) likely will always be the bridesmaid in the UFC to finish his career. If Cruz comes back and beats Barao to unite the BW title, Faber has a chance because he has beaten Cruz once before. I dont see him beating Barao. A victory over Cruz for the title would be a good way to go out for him though.
 
Can't wait for Saturday, LW title on free TV and it's going to be awesome with two guys like Bendo and Gil. Plus we get Cormier/Mir.
 
A couple of things stood out to me having watched tuf finale this weekend...
Clint Hester is fast and has devastating power when channeled correctly
Josh Samman has huge heart, determination and composure under pressure, as well as remaining dangerous even when it looks like he's losing the fight.

The ultimate fighter guys really showcased their skills, except Uriah Hall.

Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano was a war, those girls can throw down. Whoever thought women shouldn't be in the UFC......

Hall was screwing around too much. He had an 8" reach advantage which he did not use and that is what cost him. He apparently learned nothing from watching Mousasi beat up Iltifi with his jab last weekend. Disappointing. Still though, if he cleans that up he will wreck some dudes in the MW division.

Dana is definitely having the women in the UFC at the right time. So far these women are very very good and have, at times, been better than the men (Rousey v Carmouche). Like him or hate him, White is pretty damn smart about knowing when to expand the product the UFC puts out.
 
yeah, definitely was awesome seeing him koed for the first time.

so next week jon jones vs chael sonnen.
i really dont see what chael could possibly do. he's all wrestling and i dont see him taking down jones. pissed the ufc gave chael this fight.
 
He has nothing for Jon his striking and his grappling are worse. It's a complete waste of a defense and on top of that the UFC made them do TUF so it put the belt on hold for even longer. I want Lyoto to get another shot.
 
I'm not sold on Gus yet I wish the Moussasi fight had happened. Machida just needs to make a few adjustments and I think he has a great chance. In the first fight Jones was just waiting to counter the left straight with a left hook, which he nearly KOd Lyoto with when he did land it. Lyoto is still better at managing distance and is faster than him.
