Edgar got that.
I love when wrestlers go Derp a derp going for TDs and BAM!
The card is so good that even the translator is cute.
I liked this card, but I think the last UFC Rio card was better because of the Big Nog KO. Also, looks like training with Maynard helped. Aldo's Back should have lost a point for the fence grab though.

I went 8/10 with my picks. Would've been 9/10 if not for Yamasaki.

Edgar vs Aldo is fight of the year if it happens.
I have no comment on the pick 'em pool for the foreseeable future.
Aldo would fuck Edgar's world up.
And this.
I think I went 5/10 but my boosts were terrible.

That was a fantastic card and good on them for not padding with prelims so the crowd wouldn't have to wait around longer at such a crazy hour.

Is the after-event show on FX or Fuel?

Fuel, if I heard right. No idea what channel that is.

I have a headache just thinking about the knee to Chad's noggin.
Fuel...and I wish it was aired in some way on Canada! Sportsnet is crazy not to pick it up. They air everything else MMA, why not give Canada's own Ariel Helwani his due?

If Aldo got Frankie hurt, it's over. Gray was an idiot both times.
And I do love me some Frankie.

aldo is untouchable @ 145.
Probably would be at 155 too.

Showdown Joe has a monopoly on Sportsnet!
Not even close. That had one of the best single fights, but the whole card? Not even close to todays.
Today delivered, on almost every fight.
I can understand where you are coming from friend, but some fighters are finishers see jose aldo for example, but there other fighters who couldn't finish a piece of pizza see gray maynard or GSP. Aldo is a killer and if he hurt Frankie, he would finish him.
Some guys have the killer instinct, other guys don't.
I will take Mr. Edgar over smooth Henderson tho.
i know. i've been championing her beauty to all these guys.
Hendo vs. Shogun blows this card out of the water on its own. I've never felt like that during a fight before and probably never will again. Shit was pure MMA heroin.
First of all, the prelims were garbage.
Second, Finishes =/= Good fights.
This was like one of those old style Strikeforce cards where you've got legit fighters matched up with cans who get destroyed.
Tebow vanquished

well he did ref that fight pretty horribly.
Yeah, I've been meaning to bring this up. A lot of the dullness from the latest Strikeforce cards is from the new matchmaking. They aren't putting squash matches on anymore.

That's the problem though. I can make excuses for A level fighters stalemating A level fighters. Sometimes I like it when A level fighters destroy C level fighters. But Strikefarce is now having C level fighters stalemate other C level fighters and it hurts our souls to watch that shit.
did everyone forget Luke the Rock vs Jardine?

Today was a good day period. The Niners won, Tebow sucked off Tom, and Aldo the killer is back.
