Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Cerrone still didn't get his bonus money. Lost out to O'Connell coming back and putting Matt Van Buren on newborn giraffe status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimLivingston Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 McGregor being a southpaw could be weird for Jose. That plus McGregor seemed to slip out of takedowns pretty well, but obviously, that's not Jose taking him down. I'd say the spread would be at like...-300 for Jose? Maybe -400?

Hail Sabin Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Maybe Sheamus will teach him a kick like Segal did for Anderson. Cerrone vs. Henderson wasn't as good as their WEC bouts. Conor looked good and since him winning the title was one of my predictions in the Bold predictions thread I will be pulling for him in that fight.

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 He looked good but man Siver was basically just in there to take an ass-kicking an a payday. Aldo didn't seem scared or impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 He tried but like I said in the MMA Talk thread, his window for any type of shocking upset was very short. As soon as that straight left hand started working, it was the end of that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Sunday night’s UFC Fight Night 59 drew an overnight rating of 1.7 and it is projected to be the most-watched/highest rated show in FS1 history according to Fox Sports. UFC Fight Night 59 occurred on the same day as NFL’s Championship Sunday. The NFC Championship game on Fox posted a 29.1 overnight rating which is the highest-rated, most watched show since Super Bowl 48. The peak was a 33.8 from 6-6:30. The AFC Championship drew a 24.2 overnight rating and was off from last year’s AFC game likely due to the blowout. Despite power outages in the Seattle area due to storms, Seattle had a 51.9 rating. According to local information, more than 1.85 million viewers in Seattle area watched Green Bay-Seattle. Interesting enough, Seattle (3.9 rating) was the top market watching UFC Fight Night 59 per Newsday’s Mark LaMonica. Oklahoma City (3.2) and Phoenix (3.2) were next. In these cities, it looks like the UFC promos helped. http://mmapayout.com/2015/01/ufc-fight-night-59-draws-1-7-overnight-rating/ Well there you have it.

TheVileOne Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Greg Savage @TheSavageTruth 2m .@Cowboycerrone says @TeamKhabib is most likely next for him. I don't expect it to be soon as Cerrone said he is taking time off. is Khabib's six UFC wins in a row without a title shot a record? edit: damn, not really even that close. 8 wins: Jon Fitch, Gray Maynard 7 wins: Chuck Liddell, Jim Miller, George Sotiropoulos, Matt Brown, Rafael Assuncao Add Donald Cerrone to the list of 7 now. In terms of the ratings, I know it sometimes takes a crossover superstar for McGregor or a big interesting fight, but I just don't know why UFC isn't getting more support from the Fox networks for more fight cards like this. Is Fox only willing to roll out the red carpet for Chael Sonnen and Conor McGregor types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
