It's beyond asinine to claim otherwise. JDS is an excellent Boxer but he was exposed when he fought Nelson. JDS is very one-dimensional with his strikes (barely throws leg kicks and knees).

I like Cain but he was nearly obliterated when he decided to stand and trade with Kongo. Velasquez's manager and training staff have already stated that they want no part of Overeem's stand up in a fight.

just a funny video of hector lombard talking about nate being cut. i like the end where he talks about his motivation.

 

[CrypticOne]

Huge surprise tere with Nate getting cut. It's gotta be something serious like him on some sort of drugs. He's been busted for PEDs before, and that doesn't seem like the thing that would get him instantly cut the night before an event. I'm very curious as to what it is because I liked Nate.

They said it wasn't PEDs this time. And apparently the UFC has known about this since Monday. I wonder what the hell it was that got him cut.

Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission will be meeting with the media at 4 p.m ET/1 p.m. PT today to address the UFC on Versus 4 card. The rep is apparently going to shed some light on the Nate Marquardt situation

Hope Kongo puts on a good show.

It sucks that the Lentz/Olivera fight had to end like that.

Spoiler

Really bad reffing, even though at that point the illegal knee from Olivera was just one move in many that were leading to Lentz getting knocked out. I don't think it was a dirty knee either. Just him being too aggressive. The ref should have at least give Lentz some time to recover. Still, I just love Olivera's style. He goes for submissions and sweeps all the time instead of just laying there and whining about wrestlers.

UFC commentator Joe Rogan announces that the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission will review the fight due to the obvious foul.

because that was ********. Chip Snider needs ****ing glasses.

 

[El Bastardo]

Man, I can't wait for Nate to come clean.

 

[E-Man]

Holy ****!

 

[El Bastardo]

Wow, what a ****ing main event.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

YEAH!!! He's lucky it didn't get stopped sooner

 

[E-Man]

Barry has a legitimate claim to be pissed. With that said, I'll just repeat what Craig and Smokey said to Red...

Dayummmmmmmmm!

 

[El Bastardo]

The only reason Barry should be pissed is that he threw caution to the wind.

 

[Iron_Stark]

That was crazy!!

Barry got too crazy and didn't place his shots well, that's why Kongo wasn't out and why the ref didn't stop it.

[misjuevos]

my favorite fight was the oliviera fight, regardless of end. it was the most exciting.

It has been a while since I can last remember not only a UFC Main Event, but an MMA Main Event period that has had such a good finish as Kongo/Barry.

I've read comments on MMAFighting.com, people saying Barry should be pissed because he had Kongo beat. Bull' ****ing' ****. If Kongo was out cold the ref would have stopped it, fact is Kongo was still intelligently moving & trying to survive. He was hurt badly, but he wasn't finished. Now Barry was finished, he was out cold & took 3 or 4 shots after he was out.

What an exciting fight between those 2, I like Pat Barry & his savage leg kicks alot so I hope he comes back from this, I wasn't a massive fan of Kongo after a few lacklustre performances & the chance he let slip to knock Mir the **** out.. but hes definatly redeemed himself with a good show of heart.

I've yet to see any of the other matches yet, however from what I hear it was a very good card so I can't wait to sit down & watch it later.

 

[misjuevos]

the oliviera fight was great. i love watching jiu jitsu, and the counters or reversals or just scrambles and rolling for position. some of the most exciting attempts. i am happy it got fight of the night.

 

[kane9321]

great fight card lastnight ...kongo wow. Olivera fight awesome..I can watch jiu jitsu all day

 

[Bubonic]

Just starting watching last nights card now.
It's damned brutal to see em big boys go at it, just the amount of damage they inflict with each blow...

Mitrione showed a lot of class walking away in the end. With the mouthpiece out he could of murdered that kid.

If Mitrione wants to be a serious contender he's gonna have to sharpen up his cardio and keep those ****ing hands up. Obviously he's got a good chin but any of the top heavies would exploit that confidence and drop him.

 

[TheVileOne]

Come clean Nate Marquardt. Your future career is at stake. Dana White says you will never fight in the UFC again.

Hey guys, I thought you may be interested in this article about what the author is calling a 9 year prime career by most MMA fighters:

Also, what are the hopes and predicitions for this coming weekend's UFC event?

 

[Bubonic]

Really nice little war between Brown and Howard, continuous scramble, a really dynamic fight... Really hate the inbred ******s in the crowd, how can we be in 2011 and still have crowds this ignorant about mma?

They don't recognize the sweet reversals, transitions and takedowns and takedown defence, as soon as there is a 5 second pause in action they're booing, or even when there is some legitimate ground work happening they are booing... Wish they could get a brick in their collective faces, really no better than Roman times, bunch of ignorant bloodthirsty idiots.

 

[Paroxysm]

Those half fans just want blood and knockouts.

Ancient Rome we are not.

 

[Bubonic]

Hard to tell sometimes, and being from Montreal I know.
Our mma fans are as classless as they get at times.
