Yaass, two of my teammates won tonight, both first round, one by RNC, one by guillotine. The club's own event is tomorrow night. Here's hoping!

Good performances by our team tonight. Only 2 losses for our guys and lots of finishes. Includiing a first round TKO by leg kicks. Edson Barboza eat your heart out!
Did anyone see the highlights of Chinzo Machida's (Lyoto's older brother) fight from Friday night?? He caught his opponent with a knee to the face, just as the guy was shooting in for a takedown. The guy laid on the mat for about 10 minutes, and had to carried out of the cage on a stretcher. I've never seen anyone leave the cage like that.

Anyone watching the chick throwdown tonight? Gotta go with Rocky, but I think Juliana takes it in the finally on Saturday.
I'm not big at all on this season's TUF. I've enjoyed the chick fights better than the "men"
. The guys are having enough trouble beating the scales this season, and they're fights have basically sucked IMO, although this last fight should be good with these two.BTW, I'm picking Maynard over Diaz also. (just because lol)

Provided Gray doesn't knock himself out again.

Still can't believe that guys that want to fight in the UFC fail to make weight, in fact anyone that wants to turn Pro fails to make weight.

Shows how bad they really want it
.Man the chick fight sucked last night. Good boxing by J.R. though, but what a boring match.

That KO is brutal. Haven't seen something like that probably since rampage did the old power bomb KO. I'm always in two minds about the women fighting. Sometimes they are awesome and really great fights other times they are appalling.
As for all the making weight issues fighters are cutting so much now to avoid fighting in certain weight classes and have as bigger possible advantage over there opponent all to trying and climb the ranks as fast as possible. I always use Frankie Edgar as an example of this, the guy walks around and fights at roughly the same weight, has such a minimal cut. Although he might walk into a fight a fair few kg than his opponent he's nowhere near as drawn out as them. I can see loads of people moving to welterweight now GSP seems to be leaving.
Hope the Maynard Diaz fight is actually interesting Diaz tends to bore the hell out of me but being the third fight between the two both are really going to want to win it.

I was telling someone that I think the best thing that could happen to the welterweight division would be GSP retiring. He's been dominant for a long time, his retirement would really open up the division. The same could be said for the light heavyweight division, as there's talk of Jon Jones moving up to heavyweight next year.

That should have been stopped about a dozen punches before it was. Maynard was completely out on his feet and not defending at all.
Terrible judgment by the ref IMO. (and I was picking Maynard btw)

Fight of the year IMO. Way better than Jones/Gustafson.

Just when I thought Bigfoot was done....he did some real damage on the ground in the 2 round. Those guys fought with every ounce of life in them....my hat is off to them both!
