TheVileOne Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not the most eye-popping card, but IMHO not every UFC event needs to be must watch anyway. I like the Castro/Fili match-up and Nunes/Bayszler at least. Not expecting fireworks from Maia/La Flare, but I do think LaFlare is a decent prospect.

Guest Edwin Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Main card isn't to bad. You get Pepey/Fili, Durinho, Leo Santos, Erick/Kos and Maia, so that's pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Amanda Nunes vs. Shayna Baszler is the fight I'm most looking forward too but I'm also interested in the Main event and co main event as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Brazilian Athletic Commission needs to fucking step in and save itself from further embarrassment. Herdy should be barred from refereeing big fights ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Brazilian Athletic Commission needs to fucking step in and save itself from further embarrassment. Herdy should be barred from referring big fights ever again. Apparently, he is six fights deep into his UFC ref career. Looks like we'll be seeing more Camila Albuquerque and Wernei Cardoso. The latter is the same guy that missed the headbutt in the Formiga/Jorgensen fight last March. He also had a shitty stoppage in the Rony Jason/Siler fight. Lets just say Brazil has a very mixed bag when it comes to referees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 John Morgan @MMAjunkieJohn 41s41 seconds ago Just confirmed with @danawhite that @drewdober will be receiving his win bonus tonight. White also believes result should be changed to NC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Burns probably should be the fighting guys outside of the top 20 before stepping up to Josh Thomson. The Oliveira fight showed he still has some stuff to work on and tools to develop. Let him fight guys who will give him different looks like tonight, and he will be better for it.

Guest Edwin Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Still can't believe Pepey sub'd Fili and that Burns comeback armbar was awesome. Trinaldo maybe the first time I remember hearing Brazilians boo one of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Amanda Nunes post fight interview was longer than the first 3 entire fights together. My favorite Nunes post fight interview was after the de Randamie fight IIRC where she totally ignored the questions just to go off on her own tangent. Charisma transcends language barriers. Also, it gives you a valid excuse to completely ignore questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 95% of the fighters ignore questions and get cutoff by Rogan. Counterpoint: Anyone who drops the "I will fight anyone", which is roughly 95% of the active roster, deserves to get cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 not sure what to think about a UFC card in Brazil where the main event starts before 2am Local Time. Guessing the non-decision streak is in risk for the main event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 not sure what to think about a UFC card in Brazil where the main event starts before 2am Local Time. Guessing the non-decision streak is in risk for the main event? That's pretty much every UFC card in Brazil though. There was one card last year where guys where getting into the cage at about 2:45 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Wait, LaFlare is a purple belt and he was talking that shit about wanting to grapple with Maia? Maia may be the best grappler in the history of MMA, and this douche thought it was a good idea to grapple with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 so, Maia is just gonna lay on top of LaFlare all night? because LaFlare is not exactly promising on the mat so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 LaFlare should probably be fighting the Sean Spencers of the world. It is what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
