I would love to see Joe Rogan commentate on the finishes of fights super slowed down! I was watching this fight between Renen Rarao and Brad Pickett and their movements are so fast, much like most MMA fights, but the slow mo is awesome to watch in the replay, I think some slow commentary along with the fighters movements and position would be fucking AMAZING! How they got into this position, why, and what technical benefits it has over the opponents position, that shit would be priceless! And I know Rogan would love to do it! Get the fuck on it Dana!

The finish is particularly awesome

Cant watch vid on phone for some reason, but yea a slo mo breakdown would be sweet, and prolly help new fans understand what's happening better..
But I'm interested for the next PPV, I think gustovson just might be able to hit jones with a good shot...also, Shaub/mitreone should be a great slugfest..and I don't know why but I like mike Ricci, that arogant prick is pretty good

Finally got caught up on my mma.

Hyun Gyu Lim is definitely on my watch list, dude has 2 fights and two bad ass finishes.

Didn't see the Pettis/Bendo fight ending that way, good for Pettis. I wasn't picking him, but I always like to see the belt change hands every so often to keep the division fluid. Barnett lived up to his hype, I've felt like he was the best hw not in the UFC for years...don't think he'll win the belt, but there are some good matches for him. Koch/Poirier was amazing, just like I thought it would be when they tried matching them up in wec years ago.

Strange card, but some good fights. As for the Fight Night...still not sold on Glover, good fighter but Jones will destroy him if he gets past Gus.

I agree with all but Wineland, I think Barao will take it. Good fight though, I think it will be better than Jones/Gus personally. And the Nurmy/Healy fight, that's a tough one...I think Nurmy can take it, but I'm not confident picking either guy really.

Healy/Nurma has fight of the night potential for sure, ricci and jury too..but I think jones is gonna dominate Gus tbh, but I'd love to see a upset

I also thought JOnes lost......was surprised when he got the unanimous........How about Barao, that kick he landed on Wineland was impressive,I didn't see that coming.

Goddamn, what a good fight! That was one of the best battles I've ever seen! Gustafson should've got the nod for sure! I don't trust the judging one bit. Not when there's potential to make so much money. Jones/Gustof 2 + Silva/Weidman 2 would be the "Don King" super-card of a lifetime.

I thought jones lost it too, but I guess you have to beat the champ decisively...gustovson in inhuman tho the way he ate those elbows and kicks....barrao looked good, but I think cruze will still beat him, if he ever fights again....

Haven't seen the fight yet, but I read an article, and everything positive was praising Gus' technique and TDD. Looks like I'll definitely have to check it out, I knew he was a contender going in

Just got around to watching the fight.

Man, I knew Gus was good, but I didn't think he'd make Jones look so bad. I scored it 3-2 Gus, felt he had the first 3 rounds pretty solid. I can't believe one of the judges scored it 49-46 Jones, that's a travesty of a scorecard for that fight. I thought it was going to be a boring fight, couldn't have been more wrong, that was amazing.

Barao looked pretty good. At this point, UFC needs to strip Cruz and make Barao the real champion...they stripped Frank Mir way earlier when he had his motorcycle accident. They're just holding up the division and making Barao look like less than what he is. I don't think Cruz can beat this guy.

Nurmy impressed me, against a tough grinder like Healy. Definitely a name to watch at LW.

How many of you guys read mma blog/reporting sites? Sherdog, Bloodyelbow, MMAmania, etc...?

Can't frickin believe the UFC cut Yushin Okami...dude has been a top ten MW for years, was one a three fight win streak, and he lost to Jacare, and Jacare is no joke. Wtf UFC? Way to build mma as a real sport by cutting one of the top ten guys in a boring division.

I think reason why he was cut was because he showed he will never win the title or be a top contender again but he still good enough to beat some fighters who could rise up the rankings so that made okami a risk to the UFC.


Also here are my UFC 166 picks

My heart says Cain but my mind tells me JDS via TKO head kick
Cormier by 3rd round KO over big country
and I got Melendez beating Sanchez in a WAR of a fight and also FOTN

I think Melendez will whoop Sanchez, also think best fight on the card is big county/Cormier actually pretty stoked for that fight I think Cormier will be a contender for the belt soon, Cain will prolly pretty much do the same thing as last fight, that's why iid like to see Cain/Cormier, I don't think Cain will dominate Cormier wrestling

Cain and Cormier are both good freinds and also training partners. Cormier weighed in at 225 for this fight vs big country with even cormier saying win or lose he plans on moving down to LHW (205) but I think if Cain loses to Dos Santos and DC beats Nelson then Cormier will stay at HW and fight Junior next for the HW belt
