Who needs trash talk
When you’ve got jazz hands?
That's like making fun of a maniac because his brain isn't completely right, because he isn't in the norm.

What about the Ed Herman fight?
No way he dropped from 185 to 155.
When a Texan decides to take his chances, you know chances will be taken.
damn that's the superbowl weekend card
I guess silva is still ducking the fight against sonnen
Statistics show suicidal people are a hundred percent more likely to kill themselves.
You know, some days I forget that I have a memory.
anderson ain't ducking shit
Its sonnen who is ducking reality
NICK DIAZ.... champ early 2012

Silva said today he wants to fight sonnen.in brazil but the ufc have not given him a time and place yet.
UFC 139 Main Card Predictions:
Shogun Rua def Dan Henderson by 4th Rd TKO
Cung Le def Wanderlei Silva by 1st Rd KO
Urijah Faber def Brian Bowles by UD
Martin Kampmann def Ricky Story by UD
Kyle Kingsbury def Stephan Bonnar by SD
Chael sonnen is a cheating douchebag.

takes two fighters to make a fight exciting so people need to consider that before criticizing GSP
Diaz could be the fighter to put on a great show with GSP

I for some reason see this fight similar to gsp/fitch
Gsp is nothing like anyone diaz has faced before, he’s always avoiding his opponents strengths and attacking his weaknesses. No way he stands infront of the cage and takes a beating like diaz’s last two victims. I really don’t think gsp is in much trouble on his feet and feel most underestimate his stand up with diaz. This is a very tough fight for nick style wise, but anything can happen.
If gsp stands with Nick I’d be ecstatic but diaz wouldnt have too much trouble with gsp on the feet. Diaz isn’t like the stand up fighters gsp has faced. Diaz is a combination puncher and wears his opponents out he doesn’t have that one punch you need to look out for. If gsp stood with diaz I don’t care who gsp has training him he wouldn’t be diaz on the feet

This is the first UFC PPV i’m going to miss in years, shame too because it’s going to be great to see Condit KTFO Kos live but on principle I can’t support what Dana did to Carlos so i’m boycotting this card.

thats what i waS thinking
This card is weak but the ME is a spectacular match up.
If fans who supprt the product by buying ppv send a cleaf message to the ufc by boycotting 1 or 2 cards because of this internet fiasco it would make a huge impact. Im sure this has been mentioned already but it would be nice to see fans come together and make their thoughts nown
by dia mette on Jan 23, 2012 10:33 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Too bad Lesnar retired cause that's a perfect card to boycott
Something needs to change tho. Its rediculous that we pay $45-$55 a month for ppv n then when its done if we want to see it again we have to buy the dvd. They should almost make accounts on UFC.com n once you buy the ppv its saved in your account or something so you can watch it whenever you want. Plus on top of that having to pay for fuel to receive shitty commentating. I understand why they get pissed at streaming. But I also think Dana has forgotten who helped him and the UFC get to where they are today. That’s why his comment after the Valasquez/Dos Santos fight pisses me off so much. “No I don’t give a shit what the hardcore fans think!” Well you should Dana.

Raker
Your aware that Condit isn’t fighting Koscheck anymore and is fighting Nick Diaz for the interum title right?
by KCmmaBadBoy on Jan 23, 2012 10:43 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Diaz vs condit FOTY especially if it goes all 5
I got Diaz, but close call. And on UFC.com it says jorgensen vs barao is a prelim _ if so, that’s just ludicrous.
I think this will look a lot like Nate-Cerrone. Nick will outbox him until either a late finish or a dominant decision victory.
Here do I swear fealty and service to Choro, the mightiest and most hung of all Maniacs. In trolling or absence. In living or dying. From this hour henceforth, until my Lord release me…or the banhammer…take me.

definitely a misprint, clearly this is a middleweight fight

one digit is wrong, I think that qualifies as a misprint relax

I saw that too.
I don’t know who the other guy is, but Herman would have to cut an arm off to make LW.
When a Texan decides to take his chances, you know chances will be taken.
What a ridiculous card... Can't. Fuckin. Wait.

As in terms of match ups or are you striclty referring to the ME?
"To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." - William Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3)
I'm super excited for a lot of those matchups, Werdum-Nelson is intriguing, Barao-Jorgensen is a great matchup, Koscheck Pierce should be good also.
Main event is as good as it gets. Poirier and a new and improved Bruce Leroy both on the under card. Starks-Herman could bring out a new top guy at middleweight.
Fuck, this card is just overall amazing.

I wish I had your enthusiasm. I don't expect a lot out of this card except for the ME.

Bara-Jorgensen is going to be epic.

Oh hooray!
A bunch of guys I used to be able to watch for free. This is a PPV? Fucking bullshit.
Fighters fight. Snitches Snitch.
That's how I see it, too (except for the ME).

I thinks werdum vs nelson will be a good fight. This card isn’t too bad
by zesotheclown on Jan 23, 2012 1:48 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
undercard is not bad
but the main card bleh…
Clifford Stark’s debut sucked.
Mike Pierce hasn’t beaten big enough names yet and doesn’t have much star power yet .
Big Boy Roy and Werdum match up just seems kind of random
"When you believe in something and you're a good person...things happen" - Junior Dos Santos
roy vs werdum could be really good
but werdum is on real thin ice with me if he loses and looks like shit they need to fuck him off back to shark fights . I think he’ll come out looking to make it a good fight though because he knows after that last debacle he’s hanging by a cunt hair .

Idiot doesn't know what weight divisions the fighters are in, definitely needs a pay dock
Tim Elliot had the best knockout of the year. FACT
Really though
Jorgy/barao @145?? Ed Herman @ LW? Terrible, get your shit right ya know? Lol
Diaz, Werdum, Barao, & Kos FTW
Except due to the last two Koscheck fights, I’m really havin doubts about his striking ability/defense, not that it was ever top knotch lol
they start at 7 on the west coast so 10 on the east so that should help
