February 16, 201412 yr Author You have to love the John Williams score underneath the Cormier-Cummins sizzle reel.
February 16, 201412 yr Internet currently being flooded by the "Machida's fights are always excellent chess matches" guys. That's my cue to bolt. I'll do the totals tomorrow.
February 16, 201412 yr Am I a bad person for wishing Mousasi would have knocked Machida clean out with that illegal upkick? Damnit. I miss you crazy Japan
February 16, 201412 yr This show ties the record for most decisions at a UFC event with ten, shared with the recent UFC 169!
February 16, 201412 yr I'm sorry I was channeling my inner Chris Berman when I decided to hand out the following nickname: In the blue corner ... Nicholas "I'm Proud to be an Okie from" Musoke!
February 16, 201412 yr I was working, anything I need to watch or should I just forget this card happened and watch the NBA All Star weekend instead which featured a hideous Slam Dunk Contest again from what I heard?
February 16, 201412 yr Well I guess there's no reason for me to check this one out. I keep wanting to get back into UFC but it never seems to take any time I actually watch UFC.
February 16, 201412 yr Don't bother checking anything from this card out, you're wasting your time. Here is all you need to see from the dunk contest http://giant.gfycat.com/ShinyOpenFossa.gif and watch the All-Star game tonight.
February 16, 201412 yr so the first two "performance of the night" awards go to the guys who got the only KO and the only SUB. funny.
February 16, 201412 yr I actually watched UFC 169 instead. Damn that Trujillo/Varner fight was great. Recorded this show and will watch it eventually. How was the Jacare fight?
February 16, 201412 yr So the purpose of Cormier talking shit about Cummins on Fox Sports 1 (shown last night) was what? I mean if there is some "beef" between the two then maybe 5% of the MMA community know about it and/or care about it. Still think it is weird that in MMA they actually like to use terms like "heel" when describing people. Thank god nobody is trying to call themselves a "babyface" in MMA
February 16, 201412 yr Author I actually watched UFC 169 instead. Damn that Trujillo/Varner fight was great. Recorded this show and will watch it eventually. How was the Jacare fight? I thought it was interesting. It was more like a couple of his longer fights in Strikeforce. I thought it was pretty clear (before and early on in the fight) Carmont wasn't going down easily. Jacare still has some improvements to make in terms of technique. Carmont is very good defensively as a striker and easily evaded some of the punches Jacare was pushing. Jacare made a couple good adjustments, but clearly should not take a fight with Machida. Jacare is an orthodox puncher who needs to get inside on people to hit them. His reach isn't that good. Machida would be a stylistic nightmare for him unless Jacare could land the best hooks of his career. So the purpose of Cormier talking shit about Cummins on Fox Sports 1 (shown last night) was what? I mean if there is some "beef" between the two then maybe 5% of the MMA community know about it and/or care about it. It reminded me of the stuff HBO used to do in the early to mid 90s. It was.....different. A little bizarre but different.
February 16, 201412 yr Honestly I want to see to Jacare get the next title shot. I think he deserves it more and it would make for a more exciting fight. Book Machida vs. Rockhold next. At this rate though, I'd say there's a good chance of Weidman or Belfort getting injured, so someone might have to step up for that spot anyway.
February 17, 201412 yr Internet currently being flooded by the "Machida's fights are always excellent chess matches" guys. That's my cue to bolt. I'll do the totals tomorrow. Chess isn't as boring as Machida's style.
February 17, 201412 yr Machida's style uses countering a ton, so it will always be dull against other counter strikers. Mousasi did eat a helluva head kick from Machida, guy just kept walking forward.

Thank god nobody is trying to call themselves a "babyface" in MMA 'Heel' seems to have been a pretty common slang term in the past in America. It's used to describe a bad guy, a jerk.
