I'd back him to beat Cruz at this point seeing as his knee means his career is fucked. Unfortunately Barao gets the first shot at Cruz and he's going to win easily.
Yeah, even when Cruz was healthy their fights were really close. It's a toss up between them too really. I don't see faber getting the better of Barao though.
A great KO by DJ. Sucks for Benavidez though because if (and thats a big if) Cruz beats Barao, he'll have lost twice to both the bantamweight and flyweight champ and it would be very unlikely for him to get a third shot at either of them.
Wonder what was up with Mendes... he was so gassed after the FIRST ROUND and usually he's in tremendous shape.
Would make sense. The change was pretty drastic though. I personally thought Lentz' body kick must have hit Mendes in exactly the right place. Flu would make a lot of sense though. Just completely drains your energy.
I thought the bodykick had something to do with it too, and it probably had. Must've really kicked the air out of him because Mendes was really blown out at the end of first and second round.
I think everyone was at that point... Weidman was given a punchers chance but I don't think anyone expected what happened. Even Silva haters expected him to walk away with the title unscathed.
Looks like Condit/Woodley (yes, Woodley) has been confirmed for UFC 171. Dana did say during the post-fight media 'scrum' that Tyrone Woodley was texting more than anyone so he probably just got annoyed Interesting match though because it's a huge jump for Woodley to be fighting Condit, especially knowing the winner of that match will likely get the next shot at the UFC Welterweight Championship. Division just got seriously interesting.
My mouth just dropped open when Weidman knocked Anderson out. It's alright, though. Anderson is going to fucking murder him in the rematch. As far as Condit/Woodley, Condit is going to pick him apart.
I think Condit/Woodley is an interesting fight. And closer than a lot of people are giving it credit. I will be picking Condit come fight time, but I don't think it's going to be a walk in the park.
Fuck I hate Woodley he is going to lay n pray like a mother fucker. He will do nothing but try and bury his head on Condit's stomach and do nothing. Woodley has no other game plan for guys who threaten him on the feet. I hope Condit breaks his jaw then runs out of the cage and KO's his mom.

I just had a mental vision of Condit finishing his post-fight interview and then saying to Rogan "Now, where's this ******'s mom?", finds her in the audience and then just lights her up like an Xmas tree :lmao
Big Foot failed his post fight test with elevated levels of testosterone due to TRT. He had the go ahead to use it but still fucked up the levels apparently. That's twice now.
If he got the clearance to use it, fair enough. BUT not having appropriate doctors to oversee it or whatever and someone to maintain the levels has led to this. It's either super careless or deliberate and he;s a cheat.
so Hunt got Silva's bonus as well as his own, add that to KOTN bonus vs Struve and FOTN bonus vs JDS plus certain to have a got a big extra locker room bonus for the Bigfoot fight and thats a pretty damn nice financial year for him. Should be a good christmas round that house.
TSN.ca is reporting that UFC fighter Chael Sonnen had several inches of his colon removed during emergency surgery on Nov. 15 - one day before his first-round loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 167.
Sonnen confirmed that he had the procedure during a taping of TSN's Off The Record on Wednesday, after host Michael Landsberg revealed that a source told him about it.
"It's a little bit of a surprise that you had that information," replied Sonnen when asked about whether he had undergone surgery.
"When I sign a contract to fight, I'm agreeing to fight a guy on a certain day at a certain time and in a certain venue. It's my job to feel good when I go out and do it and if I don't that may play a hand in the fight."
Despite the medical emergency, Sonnen did not withdraw from the scheduled matchup in Las Vegas on Nov. 16 and was defeated in a first-round TKO.
Sonnen is gangster as fuck. No matter what you think of him, you have to respect that.
So sonnet had time to get colon surgery, make weight in time for weigh ins, and wasn't questioned by any governing body about any incisions or stitches on his body? I call bullshit.
Plenty of words you can use to describe Landsberg.
