It was pretty surprising how Maia basically dominated Fitch like that. Although GSP would probably jab him to death ala Koscheck and Shields.

"I just told Cain Velasquez I have some good news for ya and some bad news for ya. Good news is you're undoubtedly the greatest fucking heavyweight in the world, bad news is you lost a lot of money "

So true, but weird to hear Dana just flat out saying that

Damn did Overeem look nervous as FUCK before his fight with Bigfoot. Weird how he seemed so nervous hugging Rashad and all, and then getting stupidly overconfident and get KTFO'd. It seemed like Overeem was shedding a couple tears there as well. Almost feel bad for the guy, but he deserved to be knocked out after getting cocky like that.

That line from Dana is gold. Plus anything with Chuck automatically gets +10.

Speaking of gold. This might be the best Goldie fuck-up video yet. So many of these lines are ingrained in my memory.



Magnificent Mauy pie.

Don't care what anyone says, I love Goldie

He trains on his own... he's single

For anyone keeping track of the Eddie Alvarez saga, Ariel Helwani had Bjorn Rebney live on his show and Eddie called in, Ariel told Bjorn and asked to put him through and Bjorn declined and said he would be happy to discuss things off the air.

Even Dana got involved and tweeted AH asking him why Bjorn didn't accept to talking to Eddie live on air.

Kind of feel for Eddie, there's no way that Bellator can match the UFC's offer, they aren't a PPV modelled company and since Zuffa have offered Eddie PPV percentage he should be walking straight into Dana and Lorenzo's office with a pen in his hand. I can't help but think that Bellator are creating all these hoops to jump through as a marketing ploy for more publicity. With their version of TUF and the new TV deal, it's an excellent way to bring casual viewers or the "UFC only" guys into their product to atleast check out the show.

I used to hate Goldie but now I love the guy. I just learned to accept that he isn't very good and turn it into comedy gold instead of being pissed off by it.

UFC 155 did 600,000 buys apparently. Jesus christ, they're REALLY missing Lesnar. I didn't realize how much he actually meant to pay-per-view. You could pit him up against anyone, and you could've gotten a million buys guaranteed.

Not really. He was an insane draw but look who Lesnar got paired with in a bunch of his cards

UFC 81 - Lesnar debut, did okay, 600k buys with a main of Sylvia/Nog
UFC 87 - GSP/Fitch title fight, KenFlo on the co main, Lesnar a bit further down the card, got 625k buys. Pretty standard.
UFC 91 - Lesnar's first title fight and Couture's first fight in the UFC since his dispute with them. Was always going to go huge. Did over a million buys. First main event but had the help of Couture's return.
UFC 100 - This card was STACKED. Did 1.6 mil. Can you put it all on Lesnar? Sure he had a part but GSP/Alves title fight, rematch for Mir in the HW title fight with Lesnar, Hendo/Bisping + Sexyama which will always help boost a bit with Asian fans.
UFC 116 - He carried it, i can cop that one.
UFC 121 - Shields debut, Ortiz, Sanchez, CAIN. He helped carry this one but again it was a pretty decent card.
UFC 141 - Very similar to 155 in that it had a very solid co-main in Diaz/Cerrone and the title fight. That "only" did 750k

Compare those to 155, you think the casual fan knows that Lauzon/Miller was going to be a fucking sick fight? I was so pumped for that fight but a bunch of my mates didn't have a clue. It was all about JDS/Cain.
