I almost forgot about Babalu not letting go of that Anaconda choke, couldn't he have killed the guy?

[tyven]

joe daddy lost a lot to BJ

[Hitoshura]

I was so drunk and high last night, I had to keep asking myself if what I was watching was real life.

I would def love to see Dos Santos fight his way up for a rematch, until then I hope it's Overeem or Werdum against Cain next, those are some very cool/new exciting match ups.

It wasn't that bad. 3 or 4 seconds isn't killing anybody, or messing up their brain. People lose more oxygen to the brain having a seizure. Which has happened to me just 'cause.

Wish Babalu hadn't done that, he was fucking fun to watch man.

Goddamn. So glad Cain won. LOL

[Brill Weave]

The thing that impressed me the most about Cain was when JDS actually DID hit him with some good shots Cain just walked right through them. That dude was on a fucking mission.

[AidenCarby]

My nigga Aoki got that tko, good shit.

[Rhyis.]

Which Yakuza owned promotion is he fighting in now

[Gryffes]

Dream, which is owned by the same yakuza group as pride.

[Rhyis.]

Being facetious. Shinya made a funny comment months back about not wanting to fight in the States because of "the family", instead of "his family". Was amusing.

[Matthias]

are there people trying to continue dream or was this pretty much a one time thing to continue their new year's events traditions?

[Andalusian girls]

FEG went bankrupt as shit, but Glory bankrolled this morning's thing. dubbed a "revival show". was half MMA, half K-1 style kickboxing (Glory is a kickboxing promotion)

they look dedicated to succeeding K-1 as the preeminent non-Thai kickboxing org in the world but don't know of any plans for another MMA show

[Rhyis.]

Hero's 2.0

[AidenCarby]

Dream still owes people who fought back in 08 lol.

[Matthias]

cain's manager anticipating what we talked about here, that cain & jds very well may be trading victories back & forth for a while. damn the thought of an extended rivalry between those two, two of the greatest heavyweights ever, is damn exciting.

[Rhyis.]

two of the greatest heavyweights ever.

Slow your roll son.

[noblemountain]

Yeah, little early for all that. They have the potential...but not yet.

[Matthias]

ahh i may have worded that poorly. didn't mean greatest as in their legacies are cemented, more in terms of their current skill. hard to imagine anyone right now or in the past beating them other than each other.

[Andalusian girls]

heavyweights in MMA traditionally have sucked the dicks they're both already top 10

really you got

Fedor
Big Nog
Cro Cop
Barnett
Sylvia
Arlovski
Mir

then a lot of pioneers who are painfully limited and couldn't evolve with the sport (Severn, Coleman) or light heavyweights who did some damage but never really ruled the weight class (Couture, Rutten)

throw in that the current UFC heavyweight division is the best heavyweight division ever assembled and yeah you can say they're two of the best heavyweights already. they've got a long way to go to knock Big Nog or Fedor off the top rungs but they've surpassed or are just a little behind everyone else
