Anyone watch this? Results give the lie to D2KV's idea of all main events being decided by punches in the first round. Basically, Sonnen gave Silva a four and a half round thrashing yet got caught by a submission out of nowhere. Gotta feel sorry for the guy as I doubt any rematch would be half as good. Fitch gave Alves a masterclass in mat wrestling over three rounds. Hughes put...

For US MMA fans: Do you know who Alex Reid is? For UK MMA fans: Do you know that Alex Reid is an MMA fighter? Suffice to say the constant trailers for Alex Reid: The Fight Of My Life (which, coincidentally, isn't the fight to gain some form of credibility as anything other than the current bloke knobbing Jordan) and the claims he's the UK's best-known cage fighter bug the shit out of me...

Alright guys. I would like anyone who watched this OR wanted to watch this to respond. Dont say anything about the fights. Just let me know if you did see it or where interested in it. This is basically a "are you into MMA" thread right now. Guys?

Anybody gonna watch the fight this weekend? I have to TiVo it because I won't be home, but I'm gonna watch it. The big question is will Fedor be able to top Kimbo Slice's ratings from Elite XC. I say, yes, in a heartbeat.

The following is from the official website of Jackson Thoughts, reactions?

Done as the fights happen/end. First fight on the televised card was Nate "Rock" Quarry vs. "Crazy" Tim Credur. Both men came out and where clearly ready for a war. This bout started as a fight but quickly turned into said war. Tim's striking technique was clearly sharper and quicker then Nates. Eventually it paid off for Tim as he dropped Nate and then surpisingly quickly he was on Nate's...

WOW! shocking news... Ortiz resigns with UFC!! I didn't see that happening but what I don't understand is why the number one ranked MMA fighter in the world Fedor has turns down a deal with Dana White and the UFC over a contract clause that would highly benefit his management team more then Fedor IMO. Fedor could have been a bigger star then what he is now if he would have sign with UFC. I heard...

I'm on my phone so this is just a quickie to get possible conversation started: strikeforce now has a womans mma champion. In a HEADLINING fight on tonights ppv. The fighters: Gina Carano and Chris Cyborg something. In a pretty dominating fashion, thanks in large part to bein clearly bigger and stronger, Cyborg was able to defeat Carano via first round TKO. Gina put up a hell of a...

This has all the makings of FUCKING AWESOME! Seeing fights I, and probably many of you, have never gotten to see on tv. I kinda wish I had cable now.

and from IGN THis has to be posted in current news because its just too damn funny. SIgh, ''Not a real sport'' .... Bad Business move EA. Somewhere in the gaming industry...2K sports is doing the happy dance.

I've been following MMA (99.9% UFC) for quite a while now and I've seen some pretty interesting discussions about MMA on WP. I'm curious just to see how many of you guys are followers of the sport, I think it's cool because it's growing at a phenomenal rate. Here's a great channel I found on JTV for a UFC fix! http://www.justin.tv/mma138g

I came in late, so I could only catch the Lesnar/Mir fight. But everything Brock did was the Brock Lesnar WWE fans saw around 2004. The guy was cocky, and he played the heel so well. Lesnar is now one of the most hated men in UFC. Is this a good or bad thing? Does a company like UFC need a "bad guy", or can it survive on strictly fair and respected fights. I understand MMA is different than...

I told you. No offense at all from Bob Sapp. God, he sucks... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXBut55bfkk

By old ass Ray Mercer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-MKBfKz35U&feature=player_embedded Want a biscuit with that? A ha LOL!

Well, Dana just got royally screwed over. Thoughts?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHwIqD3bRPk Video doesn't show Cook in the Lucha Mask but the cocky little shit deserved to get owned that quickly. I used to not like Lashley in WWE, but he is growing on me.

I thought I seen it all but apparently not. Canseco in MMA? Wow baseball sure gets you ready for that. So whats your thoughts?

Dang, this sucks. I hope they don't strip him of the title. Yeah, you're not supposed to grease but I think taking his belt would be a little extreme. However, if you want people to know you're not gonna tolerate it then taking the belt will show you mean business.
