Who's excited for UFC 137?

Yea. He kinda has a history of bad sportsmanship. He's hit a few guys after the bell. He even lost a championship because of it

I gotta say it's a shame that Pride rules aren't in the UFC. It would have change alot of fight outcomes and helped cut down on dry humping wrestlers. I wish they would have brought yellow cards over from Pride for stalling.

 

UFC has some stupid rules like no 12-6 elbows. What the difference between a 12-6 elbow and a regular elbow?

 

The story behind it is, before the unified rules came into effect there was a fight in a NJ where a fighter took the back of another fighter and was trying to sink in a RNC. When he couldn't sink it in he started using 12-6 elbows to the back of the opponents neck and head. The doctor that was on call during the fight had a conniption about it and said he would never support a sport that allowed that type of dangerous strike. So they made it illegal.

I gues the arguement now si that they're worried that a 12-6 elbow would be more of a brunt force hit vs a arcing elbow which has more of a chance of "glancing" off? I think 12-6 elbows look more dangerous then they are.

Either way MMA is having a tough time getting acceptence as a legitimate sport so they have to have rules and regulations to protect the fighters while still allowing it to truly be MMA. Can you imagine how crazy the politicians and oppenents of MMA would get if they started to allow soccer kicks, stomps and 12-6 elbows?

 

12-6 elbows cost Bones Jones a fight against Matt Hamill. He's the only one to "beat" Jones.

 

Yeah, that was bull shit. No warnings or anything, just straight disqualified his ass.

 

Anyone catch the weigh-in? WTF was that shit about? Penn better murder that douche...

X2
Not a huge Penn fan or anything but Diaz seems like a jag-off

and looky what showed up just in time in the mail....


... yeah, I'm a nerd

 

Yeah how weird. Fighters wanting to fight!?

 

That's not my point ... Just seemd like a douche bag thing to do considering all the so-called "respect" Diaz has for Penn. You would think he would act professional and not like a wannabe thug...

 

if ya watch you can see Diaz throw a short little punch Penns way.
Diaz looks quite a bit bigger then Penn.

 

yeah you can see it better from this angle
plus you get to see Roy Nelson in his fat suit. I maybe rooting for Mirko but at the same time I don't want to see Roy retired.

Hioki and Donald Cerrone both win. Cerrone looked pretty good as always.

 

Cro cop goes.down by tko once again

 

Is it just me, or does that arena look a little on the empty side?

 

Link for the fight?

 

Well looks like Diaz will get his sho at the title back. He looked good.

 

Yep. Condit is still next in line, I think. I liked how he called out GSP after the fight lol.

I didn't see him winning a unanimous. Bj clearly won the first round IMO.

 

I meant after Condit unless he gets bored and wants a fight. He usually fights every three months so he may take another fight.
Bj def.win round one and the judges scored it that way as well.

 

I think Dana should just give Diaz the title shot and let Condit fight the winner, give the fans the fight they wanna see. Plus, a Diaz/GSP fight will make a lot more money that a Condit fight.
