        cyborg. rousey can't take a punch and fights 10 pounds lighter than cyborg.

          yes, i feel so bad for him because that was the best shape i have ever seen him in, and he was winning. one mistake, and jones was all over him. can't turtle for that long. if he rolled or grabbed at a leg or anything beside turtle then big jon would have given him the benefit of the doubt. that was a good stoppage, and at 38 pride isn't worth your mental capacity for the rest of your life.

            Wow, Dana pulled the GSP fight from Woodley because of that shit fight - giving it back to Bisping... that's interesting.
            this is a bad decision in my opinion. the only way for woodley to headline a card now is with a gsp fight, and i think it is his only chance to show what he can do. after cowboy beat lawler they might give him the shot. i also think that the company likes bisping and wants to give him a big money fight. gsp-bisping in toronto or montreal is huge last fight for bisping to cash out on.

            • Cormier became one of only 5 fighters in UFC history to bank a $1M fight purse ... I feel less bad for him. That's proper recognition there. Plus with the PPV money, dude probably made like $5M last night. He's good.

              • How did anyone think Cormier won two rounds? You could make an argument he maybe, maybe barely won the second round by a nose but Jones was landing at will and controlling the fight. Jones' reach advantage was just too much. And that fight should have been stopped earlier. That ending was painful to watch.

                It actually was a disappointing card. The Cyborg fight was a total farce. That soup can they put in there with her looked like they threw her on a bus the night before and paid her $50 and a $10 meal voucher. I loved how the announcers were trying to sell that fight while that poor woman was being used as a punching bag. UFC should be ashamed and the roided out "Cyborg" has nothing to celebrate.

                The Woodley-Maia match was a joke. Both fighters were fighting not to lose but at least Maia had the excuse he had one eye for 95% of the fight. I do not like how Woodley fights. I get that he wins with defense but the constant back to the cage stuff and his staring matches are not interesting to watch. Not sure who he fights next and I don't care. It's really too bad McDonald ran into a rejuvenated Lawlor. He would have been a terrific, exciting champion but the Lawlor fights really killed his mojo.

                    Considering I read the cheapest seats were $3,500 it's totally understandable.

                    Still not sure where I'll be watching, but I sure as shit am not paying $100 to order the PPV.

                        We considered taking a client down to the fight but the tickets are outrageous. We were looking at $30,000 US for 4 seats! We're doing a client event at a bar instead and it is cheaper for us to rent out the entire place, pay the licensing fee and have an open bar than it was for 4 of us to go to Vegas....

                          Do you know how UFC calculate the license fee? Are they looking at fire code limits?

                            Haven't been involved in the organizing to that level of detail. All I've seen is the all-in cost from the venue. Venue does the rest including setting limits on number of people, etc.

                              • free card this week is one fight deep. pettis/moreno should be good. moreno should win with another rear naked choke. pettis could take it with strkes or decision.

                                i like jouban but everytime i watch him he loses.
