Just watched the early prelims from last night...

[+] Spoiler: Krylov's knockout of Walt Harris was fucking ridiculous

Especially considering

[+] Spoiler: he was giving up weight massively, 241lbs vs 218lbs

. Ridiculous.

Cruickshank/Rio

[+] Spoiler: Fantastic fight, thought Cruickshank had fucked himself when he took it to the ground, but faaaaaaaaaark, the break out of the heel hook from Rio and the combo to finish was incredible

Future contender right there.

Hernandez/Viana

[+] Spoiler: Fucking boring, crowd started booing halfway through. Was like watching a boring boxing match, even Hernandez got fucked off at the end with Viana constantly backing off

Main Card (PPV)
Ronda Rousey vs Sara McMann
Patrick Cummings vs Daniel Cormier
Rory MacDonald vs. Demian Maia
Mike Pyle vs. TJ Waldburger
Robert Whittaker vs. Stephen Thompson

Preliminary card (Fox Sports 1)
Alexis Davis vs. Jessica Eye
Raphael Assuncao vs. Pedro Munhoz
Lucas Martins vs. Aljamain Sterling
Zach Makovsky vs. Josh Sampo

Preliminary card (UFC Fight Pass)
Rafaello Oliveira vs Erik Koch
Ernest Chavez vs. Yosdenis Cedeno

People giving the card a bit of shit now that the Evans fight is dropped, but you've got a main event that is virtually guaranteed a stoppage and Cummings/Cormier for two guys who genuinely don't like each other after the comments the other week.

Rory MacDonald vs. Demian Maia

Rory has to prove himself since the Lawler fight and Maia is serious. Looking forward to that.

Wear a mask already

Honestly think Cummins is going to get the living shit beaten out of him.

hubb · Post by **hubb** » Fri Feb 21, 2014 1:28 pm

Well that is the point. But this looks instructed. Look at Cormiers eyes, why would he be uncomfortable at being angry, unless if it was to put on a show?

No idea...they're obviously playing it up a bit but I can't help but feel that Cormier is genuinely pissed at the guy.

Fair - going to watch it no doubt. But I bet he is pissed at guys in general.

Be interesting to see what the buy rates are...Dana is going on with such fervor about how great Rhonda is and WMMA in general, wonder if people will actually take it.

It's weird isn't it. I feel like his decisions have been quite bad the last few years, but at the same time he made it what it is now. I think it's more about the spectacle for him unfortunately. Sonnen and Overeem being examples of this in a way.

If he stopped going on about Rousey was a female Lesnar it might be more palatable.

Not a bad main card, missed the prelims though.

Glad DC beat the shit out of Cummins, he deserved nothing less. Herb Dean fucked up twice, IMO...not stopping the Pyle/Waldburger fight 30s earlier when it was clear that TJ was already out or on his way;

and then stopping the main event before McMann had chance to recover from the liver shot;

Hoping McMann gets another shot as Rousey, she should be due a rematch as this one was over so quickly.

Herb Dean needs to take some time off though...after these and stopping the Faber match @ 169 too early, he's fucking up a lot.

He'd better bring some rude manuwas or he'll end up having no ikea how it all went down.

Hoping I can see the prelims, Luke Barnatt should be a good fight

Like that guy yeah.

It was funny the tuff season he was in, he seemed like a bloke whereas the rest of them were completely retarded ken dolls.

I actually have an old mate in the ufc, Martin and he told me some of these guys have people to tie their shoes and have fits in training constantly.
Like pageant children basicly.
