Don't count out James Te Huna. He will give Teixiera the toughest fight he has had yet as far as actually getting hit goes. In fact of the five main card underdogs only Grant has a better shot of winning to me.
Been wanting to see this fight for a long time and so fox sports 1 is a new show? and it's not ufc on fox? and there is now 4 different shows ufc have for fight nights?
Shame... I was looking forward to him returning but kinda knew after multiple injuries it was a long shot. He would have never touched the title but i could see great fights with Nelson, Hunt, and a few more highlight reel Ko's.
Ronda is hot but she doesn't have much of an ass unfortunately. Now Cat Zingano, that chick has an ass. Ronda does have that smile, though. But so does Zingano. Hmm. Hard choice. No pun intended :rogan
And Chael is going to smash Wandi and the build up is going to be fantastic.
Carwin retired? Well, I guess this was the right move for him. I never really liked him but he lost to the best and retired with a great record of 12-2. Much respect.
Smooth motherfucker. He's right though about relationships, if it doesn't come easy then run away. I was with my ex fiance for almost 6 years and it was work every single day. Then I met my current GF and it's no work at all and is very natural, so I know what Mr. Sonnen is saying. Take Chael's relationship advice to pure bliss, kids.
Sonnen is the epitome of delusional. Maybe after he lays on Silva for 5 rounds he can retire with a win and sit at a desk on Fuel TV that way I won't have to see him anymore.
Saw a guy (presumably) break someone's arm in a bar fight last night using a beautiful armbar, best thing about it was the fact the much smaller guy was the guy pulling out the MMA shit. I'm not sure I'd have the balls to pull an armbar out through fear of one of his buddies kicking my face in.
An Arm Bar in a bar fight is very risky, yes. You can snap that dude's shit but you run the risk of his boys stomping your face in as a result. The Gracie Breakdown guys have a fantastic video up about how to deal with multiple guys at once if you're outnumbered. Everyone should check it out.
True, you can give someone a standing Kimura and break their shit. A Kimura is also a great way to stop someone from taking your back while you're standing. Frankie Edgar utilized that beautifully in one of the fights with Henderson. Don't remember which one off the top of my head but Benson would always clinch up with him and move around and take his back and Frankie was constantly going for a standing Kimura for force Benson to let go.
I love Kimura's. I pulled one out in Jiu-Jitsu the other day from guard, and it's the most badass feeling in the world. It won't work against higher level guys, but against scrubs in a bar, it's a perfect way to break someones shit quickly. The littlest of pressure will fuck up their elbow.
He was offered a contract by the UFC iirc. Don't know why he turned it down though. Seems to me like a financial issue between the two, but with the HW division basically being carried by Velasquez/JDS at this point, it wouldn't hurt at all to add some new blood.
He doesn't like the exclusive rights. Under UFC contract he can't compete in pro wrestling and the UFC has to approve any grappling tournaments that he wants to compete in. They probably low balled the shit out of him money wise. This all speculation in my part as I've never read anything from Barnett stating what went wrong the first time they negotiated.
Yeah, I remember reading it was because Barnett wasn't allowed to do any pro-wrestling under the UFC.
