Leben really surprised me, I was rooting for Ortiz (because I don't like Bader, but I didn't see that one coming), Condit really surprised me, I also don't like Melvin, but he looked twice his size and holy shit Wiman was robbed!!!!!
I knew Leben was gonna win. Dude's head is like a cinder block. Condit's flying knee and mounted punches were awesome! I was hoping for Faber to kick some ass. Cruz's herky jerky style annoys me. Oh well... I had no real favorite going into the Ortiz/Bader fight. Not a fan of either fighter. But it was entertaining that Tito gets to fight another day. Great PPV overall.
who caught up with Josh Barnett at Grasshut? Dude is super cool and actually a real geek. Loves the Japanese robots...!! Talking about old Super Robots with Josh Barnett was pretty surreal. Props to Kiyoshi Nakazawa for bringing him in. Josh Barnett by toybot studios, on Flickr
Hendo is such a supreme beast ! But that stoppage sucked: Hendo got Fedor with that sneaky uppercut and he was out for a second but he came to, turned to his back and was about to pull guard. Plus i didn't like what seemed like two clean blows to the back of the head when fedor went down. In Pride they woulda kept it right on going...but Fedors brain may thank Herb Dean in the future.
My brain refuses to allow me to believe Fedor has legitimately lost. First it was a freak submission, then a lack of a good cut man, and now an early stoppage.
^ Its just the statistical probabilities catching up to him, it's just about impossible to go 30-0 in MMA ...Even Dana White apparently thought it was a bad call by Herb.
Scott Smith looked like a Zombie. Terrible. Paul Daley looked like a joke. waste of time. Hendo vs Fedor was pretty awesome, but Fedor looked like he was out. Herb Dean stopped the fight, as he was doing that, Fedor turned over. too bad.. I would have liked to see it go another round or two.
I actually agree with the stoppage, herb is to protect the fighter... I believe Thts why he did... I was scared for Hendo though because I thought he was about to have the stoppage on him... Fedor was out if herb didn't pull him off the next 2-3 hits would of definitely did the job... Hendersons contract is met now with strikeforce... Stay... Or go back to UFC hmmmm
Sweet pic! I had heard lot's of talk of Barnett's nerdier side, but this takes the cake! I wouldn't mind having some of his toys from Pride and his NJPW stint.
ha ha.. I just watched this and was coming here to post about the chest hair! ha ha. Also, what's up with Hallman's speedos!?! bold.
I really like Ben Henderson but Jim Miller is representing NJ. Let's go Miller! Miller is on a roll and he's super tough. Some nice fights on the card. I like this free show better than the last PPV.
No love for Rory MacDonald on here? That kid is looking pretty amazing. Training with GSP is obviously paying off, and if he is already showing these mad skills, I can only imagine what might come from continues development.
He seems to have all the tools, but he isn't fighting today is he? I was actually rooting for Diaz when he beat him so I wasn't too happy at that point, but he continues to win and in pretty good fashion so I think he will be a pretty big name before too long if he keeps it up!
Sorry, I should have clarified. That was from 133; being in Japan, I am a bit slow on the uptake, so just got to see the fights this week That was a tough battle to choose between terrible chest hair and speedo though (I only wish that was a Buta tribute, then I might actually forgive it)
