Just looked at the FX card. Yikes.

The prelims for UFC on FOX 2 are better than the main card for the FX Card.

EDIT: Even the Fuel card is better.

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.

This, my friend, is why ProElite is the new Strikeforce. Rich Chou, the old Strikeforce matchmaker, is now booking scraps on the big island.

did everyone forget Luke the Rock vs Jardine?

Haha, true enough. I remember some of the betting lines from the old Strikeforce cards being over -1000.

Longest wait between the main event and a press conference? In my mind Aldo and Dana are doing lines of coke as we wait for it to start.
 
I will refer to my tweet from earlier

Sorry #tebow, jesus is with #barboza tonight #ufcrio


I liked that even with all the fast finishes they didn't bother with much filler, guess they took the local time in Rio into consideration

I think I agree with you. D level pro fighters vs drunken bar fighters is always fun to watch.

aldo grabbing the fence to avoid the takedown and coming back shortly there after to finish the fight was very fedor-esque ala the fedor/linland fight.

This press conference is terrible for english speakers. The translator is translating live but it is broadcast at 1/4 the volume of the Portuguese.
 
when you watch the gif of the Barbosa KO you can clearly see Etim bracing for what he thought would be another spinning back kick to the gut. But nope, heel to head and lights out. Very nicely done by Edson if he intentionally set it up that way.

i hope aldo's next match is a squash match with hioki. it would be pride quality, maybe we could convince hioki to wear a mask in the cage.

This press conference is a fucking joke. They should have a website for Brazilians and a website for English-speakers. Dana's answers are muted by the translator and the translator's volume is muted by the Portuguese speakers. Oh well, the Brazilian crowd killed it and they can have this special treatment tonight.

love on your sleeve
So there's no point in watching the presser I guess. Portuguese translator is talking over Dana for fucks sake.

That was painfull ... but i laughed out loud of how he fell .... and then i feel bad about it =x

This song makes me picture the Burnout Paradise title screen.

Totaly ! Me too


I love how the judge enters in front of the face in the exact moment of the punch ... it looks like that Sin City punch where he only stops when feels that he is punching the floor xD

------------------------

Also,while in my HUGE knowledge of ufc says to me that it wasn't a reason to disqualify, i found it hilarious how Erick said something along the lines of "I really didn't meant, but those punches connected ...." and the translator translated something like "I really didn't meant, and those punches were not even close"

And .. my curiosity ... how the international gaf people know Vitor's wife ?
Because she was pretty famous before marring him as one of those girls who are famous just for being hot

Whoever is in charge of the audio levels of the post fight presser should be demoted to Strikeforce with Rumble as well.
