Jiji Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Musasi vs. Hall could be interesting, probably not a tonne of fireworks though. I hope Horiguchi can get back on track after that ass whoopin' Demetrious put on him. Have you been watching the Road to UFC Japan stuff? Are any of the featherweights any good?

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Not yet, but I probably will watch some of it later this week. I saw Hirota and Wicky's names among others and got interested. Just never got around to it when they finally put it on Fight Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I guess this is going to be on FS1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I guess this is going to be on FS1? Yeah, primetime Saturday night in North America and early Sunday morning in Japan. The next Fight Pass card I believe is Dublin. The prelims being on FS2 is most likely due to college football commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonNorin Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 This might be a make or break fight for Roy Nelson. He can't afford to have 3 straight losses. Definitely watching this fight. I have always admired Roy Nelson for dropping that heavy right hand but I hope he will also mix it up with other techniques that will help him win against a veteran fighter like Josh Barnett. I hope it will not be his last fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 He will probably get an extra shot just because he is a heavyweight with sort of a name. I don't know what his situation is or where he stands with Zuffa, but it's unclear how much he would get on the market right now. Three or four years ago, other organizations would be all over him. WSOF would likely go after him. Bellator would probably pass on him because that's not exactly the guy you want beating up your heavyweights, even he has slipped. Unless he knows he can get a lot more in sponsorship, it would probably be best for him to end his career in the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 yeah, i really don't think he's on the chopping block. not enough depth in heavyweight, plus casuals still know him (even if it is only as 'that big fat guy. country something?') now, if they told him to cut off (or at least dye) his scraggly beard and terrible mullet, then i completely agree.

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Reminder: There were no Fight Pass prelims due to KID/Hobar being off the card and the first fight being moved up. Also the prelims are on FS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Kotani-Johnson was closer than it should have been. This should have been a first round knockout for Kajan, but he spent most of his time just moving around and doing nothing. If he can't finish Kotani, he is going to have a rough go at 155.

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 John Morgan @MMAjunkieJohn 2m2 minutes ago UFC official tells me both Mizuto Hirota and Teruto Ishihara will be awarded contracts after their split draw BTW I think we've seen the last of George Roop in the UFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 So I'm guessing Horiguchi will be fighting the winner of Benavidez vs. Bagautinov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 HOLY FUCK! I've never seen that before! How wrong was I saying that this was going to be a boring fight?! I had a feeling that once Hall was snatching kimuras and shit, that Mousasi was ripe for an upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 That was like some Shinjiro Otani shit. Like, damn. Good on Hall, though I'm a Mousasi fan I can't begrudge him a great victory like that. Also builds back some of that aura he had during his early UFC career after that spinning hook kick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 He's going to (and should) lose this decision but Roy Nelson throwing kicks is fucking scary. I'd be like fuck no I'm outta here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Kenshiro was with Josh Barnett tonight. Where has this Uriah Hall been. Obviously, his ground game is still weak as hell, and I would imagine anyone else in the top 5 would take him apart, but hell of a win by Uriah Hall. Diego Brandao looking good again. Good win for Kyoji Horiguchi as well after his loss to Johnson. Awesome finish by Keita Nakamura as well over Jingliang. His first UFC win.
