I forgot that Shogun vs Hendo is tomorrow. It's weird having fights on a Sunday. Hopefully this fight is as good as the last one. I always look forward to seeing Maldonado fight too.

It was a pretty good card. I didn't put any money on the fights, but there were a lot of upsets.

captain TRT


wow, shogun was lighting him up in the first two. had that punch landed on his jaw he may have recovered. maybe not, but it landing on the nose made it that much less fun

either way, that was two old men fighting in there, lol. dan is just old, and shogun just isn't the same after the two knee surgeries. that and all the battles is taking its toll

Underdogs went 9-1-1 on the card. That's pretty much unheard of.

Shoguns nose.



Maldonado has the best body shots in MMA I think.

It was shoguns fault. He played it way to safe. He had Dan out 2 or 3 times And let him fully recover. It cracked me up how the announcers were saying over and over how all it takes is 1 punch from Dan. 1st Dan rocked Rua, then Dan rushed in and was over aggressive and got caught. I though it was over. Then when the 1st rd ended I thought maybe there was still a chance. Dan looked terrible in the 2nd and 3rd rds. He looked out on his feet, but he was still throwing bombs with that overhand right. I was so happy when that punch landed .I just wish it was on john Jones's face!

anybody see Lion Fights yesterday?

Cris Cyborg lost her third thai boxing match.

Goes to show technique trumps power. Her opponent is like 33-0. You can't expect to only have 2 fights under your belt and think you can challenge the best of the best. that chick had a mean reach and excellent knees and kicks. first time ever seeing cyborg in trouble
