TheVileOne Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Poor Raphael Assuncao. Got screwed over big time there. I know it was close, but he won six in a row plus got a win over Dillashaw. EDIT:USA Today report says that Assuncao is apparently injured and wouldn't have been ready for UFC 173. So I mean, take it for what you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 C.B. Dollaway vs. Francis Carmount is the co-main event of the Berlin card. A fight that will surely set MMA audiences on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Watching TUF Brazil, Chael's mockery of Wanderlei is hilarious. Chael chuckling "This is the greatest day of my life" after winding Wanderlei up was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I don't know when this happened....but Fight Pass suddenly good really fucking good. They added a ton of PRIDE, WEC, Strikeforce, and EliteXC shows. I didn't check if they were full or not, but there is a lot of quantity there. So if you were on the fence about it before...I dunno, maybe it's worth a show now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epwar Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Wow, quick turnaround for Henderson to kill that Shogun momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's a bigger fight for Cormier than Feijao at least. Henderson's in the twilight of his career, might as well put him in a fight like this while you still can and he's coming off a win. For Henderson, he's signed a 6 fight deal and wants to get to the title again, so if he seriously wants to make another run he has to beat someone like Cormier.

keith_h Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Seriously... Cormier, KO, RD 1. Dan moves in slow motion now and his chin is gone. I love Hendo and he's a legend but he should have hung them up after the Shogun fight. That was his chance to go out with a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Plus, Dan'll have to go without TRT, so he'll have to roid up like the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 And then Shogun came within an inch of putting Hendo away. I like Hendo a lot, but he's old, can't rely on TRT, and he doesn't have the chin he once had. Cormier is a better wrestler and a better striker.

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 So Cormier will hold Hendo against the cage for fifteen minutes then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 So Cormier will hold Hendo against the cage for fifteen minutes then. I was about to post the TL;DR version of this, but I thought I was being too contrarian. I see people all over Twitter saying Cormier is going to smash him, but the one thing I give Shogun over Cormier is that Mauricio is a more dynamic finisher. The reason for that is he is willing to completely sell out for a knockout or submission. That has been his MO for his entire career. This guy use to roll for kneebars and leglocks without hardly any setup at all. When I thought there was a possibility of this fight in Strikeforce at HW, I saw it as a tepid 30-27 Cormier win. There has been little that has happened since then to change my mind. If you think Cormier is going to fight Henderson like he did Cummins, apparently you haven't seen the rest of Cormier's UFC run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yep. I think it's bad for Hendo because like was mentioned earlier he had a chance to go out on top in some way if he left now. I don't see Cormier knocking him out but I do see him making Hendo look terrible for an entire fight. Hendo is still strong but he's not fast by any means. If Cormier decides to utilize his wrestling ability there's really nothing Dan can do about it. Jake Shields controlled him for an entire fight save for a few minutes in the first round. Cormier will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
