Cyborg makes her MMA return this weekend against Marloes Coenen in a rematch of their 2010 Strikeforce showdown.

I don’t see why they can’t be on the same card. Double title fights are fun.

 

[I'm Batman.]

TJ Grant has suffered a concussion. Pettis vs. Henderson II is happening.

 

[Project862006]

Weidman/Silva II set for UFC 168 with Tate/Rousey II as Co-Main Event

 

[I'm Batman.]

Best event ever, this should break one million buys.

 

[TheVileOne]

Really hope that card stays intact.

 

[Project862006]

is GSP Next???

 

[I'm Batman.]

If Weidman wins the rematch, they’ll get Belfort into a title match ASAP. Even with his problems in Nevada, he’s such a Brazilian celebrity that it could mean big bucks for the company if he’s got a strap.

I read somewhere that she has interest in the UFC.

Speaking of the TUF 18 female cast, if she gets a UFC contract, Revelena Berto could make UFC history.

 

[Project862006]

yeah and she fights at 135 and trains at jackson's and her boxing coach is mike winklejohn hope she continues to have success

Ellenberger and MacDonald really stunk.

 

[TheVileOne]

Fights were pretty good tonight. Main event was great and Demetrious Johnson continues to look better. Glad he went for the finish even though he was ahead on the scorecards and it was late into the fight. He didn't just coast to the decision even though he had it in the bag.

MacDonald/Ellenberger was so disappointed. Both guys just didn't engage or show up to fight. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to this fight too.

 

[E-Man]

Mighty Mouse with yet another great performance. That celebration was pretty damn cool too. He's really coming into his own in that weight class. Speed kills.

Really disappointed in Ellenberger. Still a big fan of his, but he should have tried to go for takedowns since it was clear Rory's reach was too much for him. I don't like when he limits himself like that because he's a very good wrestler with nice ground and pound.

 

[Project862006]

i blame it all on jake rory was just being smart why change a gamplan of just jabs if it is working

 

[E-Man]

Ellenberger has too many tools to be one dimensional. This is the second time he's baffled me on the gameplan. First time was against Kampmann. Still scratching my head wondering why in the hell he just rushed with no abandon like that, and last night I am wondering why he didn't use more takedowns since he's very good at getting guys to the ground. Like I said before, I'm still a big fan. He needs to work on his gameplanning though. He's got all the tools to be champ, but he hasn't molded himself getting past that contender hump yet. I don't think he's mentally deficient like some fighters though. He'll definitely be back on another streak, but I hope he doesn't choke, for lack of a better term, again if he gets up in contender status again.

 

[CrypticOne]

I turned my TV off during the Ellenberger fight. Man.... What a letdown.

 

[I'm Batman.]

Dana White talking about Robbie Lawler vs. Rory MacDonald. If Lawler could stay up, he'd have a chance in that fight, and that fight would likely rocket him to the top of the ladder. I'd love that.

 

[CrypticOne]

No way Rory takes the risk of standing with Robbie for any amount of time. Look at the Rory/Mills fight. As soon as Mills was letting off with his stand up, Rory took him down and ended it. Rory needs to fight the winner of Condit/Kampmann. Winner of that gets title shot.

 

[Warhammer]

Wow, Korean Zombie's shoulder got fudged up.

 

[Project862006]

aldo is a bad ass he fought entire fight with a foot like this he broke it in the 1st round

 

[I'm Batman.]

I don't see how Machida got robbed...he ran into a guy who wasn't stupid enough to engage and get punched. Davis just stole rounds with a few takedowns, and if Machida wants another title shot, he might want to actually engage a lot more than he does. Davis just needs a lot more work on his standup...it was better last night than it has been, but still nowhere near where he needs it to be if he wants to compete at the top.

 

[B]

Damn, I completely forgot about this event altogether.

 

[CrypticOne]

I really have to see Shogun take on Sonnen?! I thought Sonnen retired?! Shogun is gonna run through him so bad.

 

[I'm Batman.]

Can you imagine if they combined the next four events into one?! Would be obscene. Shows how much depth there is nowadays in every division, there was a time when they were running less fights on less events.

Main card:
Anthony Pettis vs. Ben Henderson for the Lightweight title
Chael Sonnen vs. Mauricio Rua
Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
Glover Teixera vs. Ryan Bader
Urijah Faber vs. Yuri Alcantara
