TheVileOne Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 The Rio card next is one that didn't hold up, but that was suppose to a smaller, "get people fights" card anyway. They really can't throw good cards at the biggest markets in Brazil until the domestic talent really starts producing again. Even though Brazil is a huge market for them, they may end up scaling the number of cards back the same way they did for Canada (went from 8 cards originally to 3 this year IIRC). The guys who usually bail those cards out (sans Pezao who may be on his way out) will be fighting on numbered PPV cards like this instead of numbered Fight Nights at some humid Brazilian gym. Better a stacked PPV than a free Brazil card. However, even the injuries that tore apart UFC Fight Night 60 ended up giving us Henderson vs. Thatch which was one of my favorite fights of all time.

You liked it that much?
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 De Randamie looked good and tuned up Pacheco like I expected. Joe Duffy was straight up Jesus Christ resurrected against Lindsey. It was mentioned on the broadcast that Firas Zahabi said Duffy was moving down to featherweight.
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Sergio Pettis is so good at hitting people. The problem seems to be when they...ya know...hit him back.
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 And a big left Hook ends Hands of Stone's Night. Now to go buy the PPV before 10.
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 So before the co main for the Predictions contest if Joanna wins do I get a point or do I need JOJO to win the Strawweight belt this year?
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Roy Nelson got one of the worst knees to the junk I've every seen in the UFC. Need to remember next time Overeem fights he is 3-0 when I've seen him fight live.
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 So before the co main for the Predictions contest if Joanna wins do I get a point or do I need JOJO to win the Strawweight belt this year? Just new strawweight champion is good enough.

Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Carla and Joanna have a great chance to win fight of the night since no other fight on the main card has earned it before their fight.
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Round 1 to Joanna stuffing 7 takedown attempts.
Shadow Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I've never felt so bad for a champion like I did for Carla Esparza. She was just no match for Joanna in her first title defense. Joanna Jedrzejczyk was just too big and her strikes far too devastating.
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Carla went 1 for 17 with takedowns. That's basically why I went with Joanna. There was very little in the way she (Carla) could win without takedowns.
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 That was my main problem with her in the Ultimate Fighter house (not the Finale she was much better and more well rounded) all she did was wrestling leading toward other things leading to boring wet blanket fights but to her credit no woman could stop her takedowns thus the wet blanket approach. For her next camp nothing but striking training 24/7.
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Will Dos Anjos vs. Pettis finish like TJ vs. Barao or Chael vs. Silva 1?
Guest Edwin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 RDA vs. Khabib 2 after Khabib steamrolls Cowboy in May.
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 That was....unexpected. The UFC lightweight division is some Game of Thrones shit. You either win or you die. John Morgan @MMAjunkieJohn now Want to be more amazed by RDA? According to @AliAbdelaziz00, dos Anios tore his MCL three weeks ago.
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Dos Anjos was a fucking beast in that fight! Glad I bought the PPV.
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 MMAFighting.com @MMAFighting 4m White: No rematch for Pettis. Cowboy-Khabib still gets dos Anjos next.
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Mike Bohn @MikeBohnMMA 2m Dana White to @ArielHelwani on FS1 post-fight show: "(Pettis) has a concussion. He said he didn't feel right after first hit of the fight."
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 30s White says you can count on Cejudo fighting in Mexico City.
