Elsalvajeloco Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 15 minutes ago, Hail Sabin said: UFC 46: His next fight was on January 31, 2004, a rematch with Randy Couture for the UFC Light heavyweight Championship. Despite agonizing over his sister Priscila Belfort, who disappeared on January 9, Vitor won the fight in 49 seconds after a seam from his glove cut Couture's eye, leaving Couture with a corneal abrasion that prompted a referee stoppage thus Belfort won the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. I remembered this cause I bought this DVD paired with the famous Trigg vs. Hughes PPV UFC 52 and was like WTF when that happened. I remember seeing people get gloved by the thumb of the glove in boxing and the laces covered up with tape (in Jersey, they often used duct tape). That Belfort vs. Couture thing was like a once in a lifetime (or fighting career) type occurrence. I've seen many (usually female) fighters in like lower level MMA, boxing, and kickboxing turn their back when they caught either a knuckle, a toe, or the side of the foot to the face. It's a very bad stereotype of female fighting that should have been gone a long time ago. Leave it to Cat Zingano to bring it to the highest level. I know it's a scary feeling, but you can't turn away in a fight like that on a legal blow. If it's that bad you got to indicate to the ref that they need to wave it off. If this was two guys and Megan Anderson was like Rumble Johnson or Thiago Santos, that would not have ended with the defenseless, injured fighter standing up. If you're gonna quit, you need to make it readily apparent to the ref so you won't get badly concussed because every opponent ain't that nice. That could be Razor Ruddock vs. Michael Dokes level of nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Ryan Hall and Alexander Volkanovski are tremendous and I never want them to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 He needed Aaron Lewis to get him hyped up before the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Corey Anderson vs. Dominick Reyes next? That would be a good test for Reyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The Condit/Lawler war took a lot out of both. Condit losing by split decision when he won that fight. A fight which needed an immediate rematch. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Can't decide what I want here. I like Cyborg remaining dominant. I also like the idea of Nunes adding Cyborg to her collection. Been looking forward to this for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 This time two years ago before UFC 207, the new UFC owners didn't know who Amanda Nunes was. I think they know now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 THE FUCKING BEST. That image of Cyborg joining Nunes on the ground got me in the heart. Love seeing that kind of respect. Nunes flipping out when she got the straps was gold. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Well that was disappointing following their first classic and Cyborg vs. Nunes. Fuck Bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Should have booked Nunes vs Cyborg as the main to have the fans leave happy with the win. Sorry wrestling guy talking again. Although I am sure Dana White is fucking ecstatic that Jones won with all the coddling he has done for him So who is the starting the pool on how many days before Jones is stripped of the title for drugs again. I will take 15 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Amanda Nunes has finished Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey and now Cris Cyborg. The latter two in 99 seconds. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 So wait is the UFC argument ( by way of their announcers who always tow the company line) is that Cormier should fight Jones because you wanted to fight Brock and we all know he is on steroids. Maybe even more than Jones so what is the big deal right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Cyborg needs to be on the Jon Jones plan, obviously. Cyborg can go disappear now. Jon Jones needs to disappear too. Both of these cheats being coddled just hurts the sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
