Amazing new and fresh MMA thread.

Walls loves Faber or something like that.

MMA needs more roundhouses.

Count me in. And speaking of GSP, Nick Diaz is filing a complaint over GSP's weight at 158 and is using that as leverage to get a rematch:


In the circumstances, Mr. St-Pierre remains legally and ethically obligated to fight Mr. Diaz at 170 pounds or else vacate the belt in favor of those prepared to fight at welterweight.

I love Nick Diaz but he really comes off as a whiny bitch lately. He bitches that he never gets this and that and then barely ever shows up to the shit he is scheduled for. You can't really rely on him to do what every other fighter can seem to muster up the balls to do, which is unacceptable at the end of the day and he does get special treatment from Dana, without question. Then he was bitching about GSP's hand wraps before the fight and now this. It's getting rather annoying. You lost, son. You got dominated by a guy who was sick and had a leg injury, on top of that and the second fight wouldn't go any different. Let it go. I mean fuck, Chael could have made a giant deal about the knee Anderson landed on him but he didn't, he took his loss like a man. Unlike Diaz.

Tonights episodes was great. Looking forward to next weeks episodes. This entire season has been SPECTACULAR thus far, probably one of the best (Y)

Kelvin Gastelum is probably my second favourite fighter this entire season next to Uriah Hall. He's only 21, and his wrestling is spectacular, but if he works on his striking a bit, he could be a legit contender in the UFC. Really reminds me of Cain Velasquez for some reason, and has the same potential, and same background. I see big things for both Kelvin and Uriah in the UFC.

Dylan really surprised me though but he really has powerful hands the problem is Luke is such a long dude that is hard to get. He couldn't do damage even though he was on top %80 of the fight. Good fight by both fighters. Uriah, Kelvin or Dylan could win this but honestly those three deserve to get in regardless.
 
#2,453 ·
By the third round, both were pretty gassed out. Personally, I never saw anything in Luke. Just because he's tall and lanky, doesn't mean he's a great fighter, and that showed tonight. Got taken down repeatedly and striking wasn't all that impressive.

Really like Dylan though. He was the last pick and really just swept up the ranks. I think it'll be Kelvin or Dylan vs. Uriah personally for the finals, leaning more towards Kelvin.
 
#2,457 ·
I was VERY impressed by Kelvin tonight. Dylan too. Great episode. One fight had a spectacular KO and the other was a war. The third round was great. Was like hacking down a tree, you could see Luke taking more hits and struggling more to shrug them off until eventually, TIMBEEEERRR! I'd say Kelvin/Uriah is the final. Both deserve to make it to UFC but rooting for Kelvin. Seems more humble.

Also, LOL at Bubba! Cocky when things go his way but bitched up when he knew he was facing Uriah and seems to be legit scared of him judging by this episode. Imo he's one of if not the worst of the people (inc. those already eliminated) and got lucky with the wildcard (which he obviously used Jones to get)

What shocked me about Kelvin was the visciousness of his striking. Chael really hit the nail on the head with his assessment before the fight. What's scary about this kid though is he's very good at striking, wrestling and submissions. At 21!? Imagine when he hits his prime! He and Uriah have the potential to make a serious impact in the UFC.

Indeed.

Bubba is a pussy. He thought he was going to beat Kelvin and he got choked, beat Casey cause of kidney failure and ran his mouth and then once his fight with Uriah is announced he doesn't even have the balls to look at the eyes of the beast. Rumor is that Clint Hester gets back in. Is it possible dropped out of the fight?

Edit: Nevermind just saw the preview on YouTube

Last week, Bloody Elbow passed along the information (via Dave Meltzer of MMA Fighting) that early estimates of the UFC 158 buyrate were in the 800,000 range. That was drawn mostly on the back of the main event fight between the company's top draw Georges St. Pierre and the enigmatic Nick Diaz. But according to at least one other MMA reporter, the number could be much higher.

Yahoo Sports writer Kevin Iole was asked on Facebook what the buyrate was for the show, and he responded with this nugget of information:

"A bit under 1.1 million."

That's obviously a huge jump from the number Meltzer originally reported. It has been a week since Dave's original report though, and he did specifically say that the buyrate "will top 800k", so it's still technically correct. He might have more updated numbers now, but nothing has been released as of the time of this writing.

So what does that mean? Well, it probably means that Nick Diaz is a bigger draw than most expected, and a lot of people bought into the hype down the stretch. The last card to get one million buys was UFC 148, where Anderson Silva met Chael Sonnen for the second time. If UFC 158 did indeed break a million, it would be the eighth UFC card overall to hit that number.

It should also be noted that the UFC doesn't release their official numbers, so this is all based on what industry sources have to say.
Jesus Christ. If UFC 158 did a little under 1.1 Million then...holy shit. I was expecting it to be around 800,000, but that just blows it out of the water, if true of course.

GSP isn't quite "John Fitch Boring", but he hasn't finished anyone in years. Wrestlers make such boring MMA fighters, laying on top of someone isn't entertaining even if you win on the score cards. I hope Anderson crane kicks GSP in the fucking face. We all know who the best P4P fighter is, hope it happens this year!

I hope you're saying the lay and pray style is boring and not fights that have alot of active grappling on the ground, some fantastic fights out there were most of it takes place on the mat.

GSP is a huge draw so no suprise at those numbers.

Exactly. It's why John Fitch was released despite his record.. LNP artists don't draw and GSP is far from a LNP artist.. Not a finisher either though so I'm not his biggest fan.
 
#2,468 ·
I'm surprised as hell with that buyrate. Usually GSP fights do between 700,00-800,000, and I was expecting about the same with Diaz if not a little more because of Diaz, but was not at all expecting 1 Million.

Diaz for sure added between 200,000-400,000. DEM WOLF TICKETS

Frankie Edgar Vs. Charles Oliveira is set now, I shit you not. What a giant mismatch, Edgar is going to smash him. And Dennis Silver Vs. Cub Swanson has been added as well, both for 162. Why not do Edgar/Swanson like they originally wanted? Edgar/Oliveira is one of the biggest mismatches I've seen in awhile. That's the problem with Edgar at 145, he's head and shoulders above everyone else in the division not named Jose Aldo.

Ok guys. Is Roy going to beat Kongo?

And how easy will Frank Mir be for Daniel Cormier? DC for a title shot next year!
