Craig H 14,663 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm so stoked for Brown vs. Silva. That fight is going to have mushroom clouds rising from it. Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin 5,270 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Horiguchi/Montague is the fight I'm looking forward to the most from this card. I'm particularly looking forward to see what Horiguchi's flyweight debut is like. I think had he not signed with the UFC and made the drop, he'd probably win the current VTJ 125 lbs. tournament.

TheVileOne 2,908 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I like the Silva/Brown fight, just not the booking. Seems like a step down for Brown on his current win streak and Silva being inconsistent throughout his UFC run. Link to post Share on other sites
LethalStriker 66 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Larkin/Costas and Koch/cruick could both be entertaining fights. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Spanish Waiter 2,640 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Is Ed Herman the worst fighter under ufc contract? I suppose Natal is now Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 5,270 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Great prelims and then Herman vs. Natal happened. Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin 5,270 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm a little out of touch... Who am I forgetting? Not including the wimmin 95% of the UFC WMMA fighters are better than both Herman and Natal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hammerva 5,136 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 And yes, that is a real thing. Best tweet about the mascot: Marc Raimondi @marc_raimondi 18m You guys are laughing, but that Chuck Liddell mascot is going to fight Tito Ortiz in Bellator in the fall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin 5,270 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 One of the highlights from the prelims, Johnny Eduardo knocking out Eddie Wineland: Also Kyoji put on a nasty beating on Darrell specifically in the second round where he pulled a Pat Barry and stumbled to the stool at the end of the round.

Elsalvajeloco 9,323 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Dave Galera, the guy who lost to Royston Wee, may be the worst fighter to enter the UFC since the late teens. I'm pretty sure he would lose to Reinhardt. Not a doubt in my mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Spanish Waiter 2,640 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 George Roop too Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 5,270 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ricardo Funch is worse than both. Link to post Share on other sites
Elsalvajeloco 9,323 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Roop beat a UFC title contender by KO. Funch was a decent prospect (New England standards at least) at one point. He got put in the woodchipper though. Plus, Funch isn't in the UFC anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 5,270 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ah yes, I forgot he meant currently in the UFC. Yeah, Galera is the equivalent of Funch. Undefeated, local prospects. Those guys from TUF China are pretty horrible too. Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Spanish Waiter 2,640 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ruan Potts is up there Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 5,270 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Potts has the worst chin in the history of MMA. Link to post Share on other sites
Elsalvajeloco 9,323 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Potts has the worst chin in the history of MMA. Vinny Magalhaes got knocked out like 3 to 4 times by Anthony Perosh. Link to post Share on other sites
