Craig H Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Gonzaga is about to get lit up. Good card though, looking forward to it.
Craig H Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Didn't Gonzaga drop Cain? No. The two have never fought.
keith_h Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Didn't Gonzaga drop Cain? You're thinking of Cheick Kongo I think. 1
Zero Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Didn't Gonzaga drop Cain? You're thinking of Cheick Kongo I think. ah yes! my bad.

The Natural Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Looking forward to watching Bendo and Cerrone's first fights of 2014. Be interesting to see Benson coming back losing the UFC Lightweight Championship to Anthony Pettis early by submission. 1
Antacular Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Only recognize 4 of these fighters, so I'm going to take your words here that this is worth watching.
The Natural Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 "Here's the reality – if Thomson wins, he's the next in line," UFC president Dana White told FOX Sports on Thursday. "Obviously Ben Henderson just lost very decisively in his last fight with (Anthony Pettis) and should Benson Henderson win, we'll see what's up with Gil (Gilbert Melendez)." Melendez has not booked a new fight, but now he may have an even bigger opportunity awaiting him if Henderson defeats Thomson on Saturday. Currently, the former Strikeforce king is negotiating a new deal with the UFC, but once his contract is complete then the promotion can move forward with his next fight. "I met with him not yesterday but the day before, it went well," White said about Melendez. We like him. We're working on re-signing the kid. We had a lot of contracts that needed to be re-upped and we're getting them done." It appears Saturday night's fight, while not a title bout on paper, definitely has championship implications on the line. Credit: foxsports.com Sometimes this happens while other times it doesn't.
Guest Edwin Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Only recognize 4 of these fighters, so I'm going to take your words here that this is worth watching. Hugo Wolverine/Hernandez, Wineland/Jabouin and Little Pettis/Bruce Leeroy should be awesome fights from the prelims and all 4 top fight from the main card are decent.
Antacular Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Who am I kidding, I'd probably watch a free UFC card if it was 4 matches of BJ Penn v. BJ Penn.
Zero Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Looks like everybody is going with Henderson by DEC in the picks thread. Thompson has the ability, his fights with Gil were super close. 1
The Natural Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Looks like everybody is going with Henderson by DEC in the picks thread. Thompson has the ability, his fights with Gil were super close. I think I gave Thompson two of those fights, including the last. 1
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 4-1 Henderson, what a fucking joke. Can't wait til someone destroys that cocky twat.
Zero Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I gotta tell you. I also had it Henderson 4-1. Josh had takedowns and got back control, but was doing no damage or efficient striking. I'm betting the striking numbers are HUGELY in the favorite of Benson. Having a leg triangle and being on a guys back is great, If you actually do something with it. edit. Yeah, I was right. https://twitter.com/MikeChiappetta/status/427283396260151296 2
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I thought 3-2 Thomson. Thomson 1,2 and 5.
epwar Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I said to my buddy I could see it being 49-46, but figured the judges would go 48-47.
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I said to my buddy I could see it being 49-46, but figured the judges would go 48-47. 49-46 Henderson?!
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 4-1 Henderson, what a fucking joke. Can't wait til someone destroys that cocky twat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmG45mTxRR0 1
TheVileOne Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I can really see it 3-2 either way. Thomson got some good positions but did very little with them. Henderson got the better of him standing up. I guess this means Melendez vs. Pettis is probably next. Also, Henderson should fight TJ Grant. Also what about Cerrone vs. Nurmagomedov? Also what is Rafael dos Anjos doing next since he racked up a nice win streak?
Randy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I had it 3 rounds to 2 for Henderson, but I could see giving Josh 1, 2, and 4. 2
