terrible. i was so excited for it to be that quick, too good to be true as usual.

[Rhyis.]

Guess they want time to hype up Cain. Lame.

[archibaldcrane]

I hope Lesnar doesn't make a pattern of letting his opponents school him in stand up and GnP until they get tired and then beating them.

[Kyo]

Make Leben fight the whole card, Im sure he would.

Modern day "Rope a Dope!?"

[archibaldcrane]

If Carwin had tagged in Leben with about 1:30 left in the first round, there would've been none of this arm triangle nonsense.

god i hope not, hope the fight is in at least october. cain has been off since february. 3 months is plenty enough time to build that fight, especially with all the buzz brock just created.

Cain just had knee surgery. Probably want to be sure he's 100%.

oh shiz i completely forgot about that.

UFC 119 is the card of the Nogueira bros.
Mir vs Big Nog 2
Bader vs Lil' Nog


I'm pulling for a Nog sweep (ha), but I don't see how Lil' Nog can put Bader away unless Bader plays it stupid. Mir vs Big Nog should be much better then the first imo.

Is anyone else having trouble loading the Post Fight Coference? The only source i can find is the one on the UFC website but it wont load passed Chris Leben talking, it just freezes up there. I really want to watch it but wont work. Doesnt seem to be any other sources.

Anyone else have this trouble?

been having problems since fight night, on firefox and chrome. what the fuck =(

I actually found out that you need Microsoft Silverlight installed i think, havnt done it myself because i lost interest but apparently thats the issue

[Oreth]

Has this actually been posted yet? Seen it on the Fedor vs Fabricio fight so was hoping they would do one for the Lesarn vs Carwin fight.

[Quixon]

So Little Nog was interview and basically said Anderson Silva was going to smash Chael Sonnen.



Here's Chael's Response lol:

"Lil’ Nog…..I read your appraisal of the upcoming fight betwixt your pal Anderson and yours truly and, I’ll be damned, you are one sharp dude…. about as sharp as a bag of wet mice. Do yourself a favor: have your mouthpiece permanently installed in your mouth so you can’t speak at all. Have them feed you with a tube like a coma patient. You’re not doing Anderson any good and you’re sinking your own ship too. You say I’m not qualified to fight Anderson…Which means that the UFC brain trust – that thinks I AM and are also YOUR BOSSES — are idiots. It also means Ed Soares – Anderson’s manager and YOUR MANAGER TOO – doesn’t know what he’s doing, either. Smooth, guy. Very smooth. Do you have any other brilliant ideas or scathing critiques you care to impart to the UFC Brass or your own manager? Maybe that shot Sokodjou hit you with was worse than it looked (if that’s even possible). You seem like a nice enough guy, and I have no real beef with you (Oh, and speaking of beef: If you can turn your disk over at the Rodizio once in awhile and get down to "185," there’s gonna be a new sheriff there in less than a month who’ll be happy to ride you right back out of town on a rail). So please see this as the kind of well-intentioned advice I would give to a friend or training partner. And if you lose a few (you looked like Roy Nelson in a Frankenstein mask for that Brilz fight… which you lost, buddyboy), we can scrap in the Fall."

Nog's should stay out of it all together. They don't have the trolling chops of a republican.

[Krandor]

If I lived in Oregon I would so vote for Sonnen.

He didn't look good at all. Throwing punches from his ass and even got caught a couple times standing up with good shots. He will never be a factor in MMA...should just stick to K1.

[wyrmtung]

Awesome fight by Jake O'Brien. That dude gave it his all. I'm sure he's already signed up to fight in Dream 16.
