I'm only interested in the 2 main events and the Koscheck fight.

That and Dan Henderson. He can KO you

[b1adesofcha0s]

So predictions? I think Rousey wins by 1st round armbar and Machida wins by TKO.

Agree on Rousey.

Dan Henderson TKO though. Machida fights scared and too cautious. He never engages at all. Dan will charge him and put the beat down on. Second round.

I can see Hendo landing an H-bomb and KO'ing Machida, but I think Machida will catch him with a counter punch like he did against Ryan Bader. I'm assuming that Machida will get back to his old ways a bit and not be overly cautious. There's also the possibility Hendo gets gassed in the 3rd round and doesn't connect with a good enough punch.

Great fight for Urijah

Can't stand Machida. Fights like a coward.

Ronda with arm bar. Got to love it. Merry me?

Machida is a karate fighter, he doesn't have to charge like a bull lol. Everyone style is different, no coward can join and fight in the UFC man

Yea but do something that applies effort. See how many people boo him, There's a reason. See what happens when his contract is up. He wasn't like that at first.

[b1adesofcha0s]

I don't think he's a coward, but actually an expert counter-striker. That's just his style and he's very good at it. He caught Hendo with a lot of knees and kicks to the body when he would try to charge. He went on the attack at the end of the fight when he knew he had to become the aggressor and landed some good shots.

Rousey with the 1st round armbar was just amazing. I was more surprised that she survived the submission at the beginning of the fight with her face all purple.

Disappointing for Hendo. Now Machida can get choked out standing up again. He will be scared in this rematch. That is why he was going to drop to middleweight before this fight and becoming the number 1 contender.

The main event was good. I thought Carmouche would at least get it out of the first round. But nope another first round arm bar. You only have to defend one thing. Don't give up an arm bar. I wonder if she has to buy Rousey a hamburger now.

And what is this BS about Aldo ducking Pettis? He didn't duck Edgar saying he didn't deserve the fight coming off two losses. Get in there and fight. Quickly losing respect for Aldo.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Yeah that was definitely weird for Aldo, didn't see that one coming.

yeah I dont get that.. i mean pettis is on a tear and he is more than deserving even if its at a class below what he normally fights at. hr ended the WEC as champ defeating a current UFC champ and never got the UFC shot he deserved as he fell victim to the edgar rematch fiasco and the he got guida(ed) out . thats not were you loose but where guida frustrates the **** out of you for 15 mins and you end up down on points lol. but since then man he has looked awesome and on of my favs of the lower weights. I think this will still happen in the end and it will just add to the storyline as fighters dont pick and choose but yeah thats weird that he would refused to fight someone especially when the competition at 145 is a bit shallow at the moment

[b1adesofcha0s]

Dana White already said the fight is happening regardless of whether Aldo wants it or not. I don't think he'd be willing to get stripped of his title over it.

I mean it's one thing when Anderson Silva says he doesn't want to fight someone like Weidman because he only wants big fights. He's getting close to the end of his career, he's cleaned out his division, and the only really big fights for him are super fights with other champions. Aldo vs Pettis is pretty much a super fight with the potential to set up another super fight with the winner of Henderson vs Melendez. There's too much money to be made there to not have this fight.

Who's ready to see GSP pick apart Diaz? GSP been having a problem finishing people but in this case I hope it goes the distance with GSP putting the pounding on his face like he did with Josh K. Put it would be nice to see a submission.
