MMA Megathread - UFC / Strikeforce / Bellator

[Black Ant]

Chael has always failed when it counts

in MMA and in Wrestling

he has always fallen short

[Black.]

All that talk

You could see he was humbled

[Medic]

Finally, all the f*ck*ng fanboys will be put to rest. Anderson GOAT.

[time_bomb]

so pissed, fell asleep after the dude injured his rib

[Francis Coquelin]

lol @ silva greasing himself up like hakan

[Kompressor]

Was a certain sense of anti climax,

Felt sorry for Chael in the end, what is true is that he has provided the fans a whole loaf of entertainment.

Quality quality first round for the man,

[Black Ant]

In the midst of the hysteria i forgot that Chael got Anderson in full mount...

surprised he didn't go for it there

[Kompressor]

He did,

Accorfing to Dana, after the fight Chael was full of admiration, saying that he felt Anderson's will break in that first round and he respects anyone who cam come back strongly from that.

Anderson is capable of taking a he'll of a beating, he's proved it in both matches. True champion.

Hope he retires in a couple fights so he can go out on top, he deserves to.

Don't wanna see him losing to inferior fighters who just happened to be younger in a few years time.

This Steven Segal stuff has me baffed as well, I go from believing the hype to thinking it's all a practical joke everytime I hear of it.

[Black Ant]

If Anderson believes the hype, I do.

Great marketing either way though

edit:

Did you see The Sensei at the open workout?

[Kompressor]

Munoz vs Wiedman tonight.

A win for Munoz = tittle shot?

Match B: Lombard vs Boetsch coming up,

Vitor vs ? Depending on when he's fit again, throw him in against the winner of match B or Bisping, (terrible match for Bisping) Stann still lingering about as well

Alternatively Bisping could face Rich Franklin.

A lot to be sorted tbh. Good 6 months to come imo

[Black Ant]

185 is hotting up.

Wiedman>>>>>

The elbow was beautiful

Completely dominated Munoz

The stoppage was crazy late though...

took way too many shots on the ground

/

Give Wiedman Anderson Silva.

[Medic]

He needs at least two more impressive outgoings before getting Silva.

[Black Ant]

two!

youre crazy...especially after this performance

maybe one but defo not two

[Kompressor]

a win against the right person now, and he should get a shot,

he's been pretty flawless so far,

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

any ufc on 2nite?

[Medic]

any ufc on 2nite?

Theres a Strikeforce event I believe, Rockhold vs Tim Kennedy. There's a couple other recognisable fights on the card also; Marquardt vs Woodley, Masvidal, Jordan Mein on the undercard.

UFC 149 is next week, Renan Barao vs Faber.

[Medic]

Main event just starting

http://www.sportsbun.com/mma-fights/strikeforce/watch-live-strikeforce-rockhold-vs-kennedy-stream-online-hd-hq-streaming/

[Medic]

One sided victory by Rockhold, no surprises. Wins via unanimous decision 49-46.

[Kompressor]

Strikeforce is pretty much dead to me withe the exception if the 2 relevent heavyweights, the ladies and Melendez.

[Medic]

Don't you think Rockhold is a top 10 middleweight?

[Kompressor]

He's irrelevant whilst in strikeforce sadly,

we'll only find out for sure when/if he makes the move over.

Jake Sheilds looked top notch till he made the move over, now he looks pretty average

[Black Ant]

So much for "Business as usual"...

[Kompressor]

This monopoly situation is good for the fans as generally all the top fighters are in one place,

But I feel for the fighters who aren't in the UFC. or the ones who Dana doesn't like, as theres not a lot if money available to them.

Strikeforces gradual decline has been sad.

[Kompressor]

Strikeforce have announced that Tim Sylvia is the man to be fed to Cromier.

in important news, We get to see if the Lombard hype is justified. Faber vs Barao to.

[Kompressor]

Is he or isn’t he?

He isn’t.

Despite earlier reports, including one from us at MMAWeekly.com, former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia is not going to be facing Daniel Cormier under the Strikeforce banner on Sept. 29 in Sacramento, Calif.

UFC president Dana White on Thursday said that Sylvia was not headed to Strikeforce, but an initial Friday report by MMAJunkie.com, which our sources backed, indicated that Sylvia was indeed headed into a fight with Cormier.

Late Friday evening, however, White talked to MMA.tv, who reported that “White said the signing was never announced, and that ‘long story, but yes, Tim is not with Zuffa.’”White commented on Twitter, shooting down the Tim Sylvia signing.

There were apparently negotiations going on, at least according to our sources, but regardless of the details, the fact remains that White is sticking by his original statement that Sylvia is not going to be fighting under the Zuffa umbrella at either the UFC or Strikeforce.
