What a brilliant event. Barboza's kick was amazing. Etim looked like a statue falling over. I have looked at the KO a load of times.

Very happy with the Belfort and Aldo finishes too.

Erick Silva got screwed. Thankfully I did not have money on my above predictions

Wow, that was some knockout by Barboza... Highlight reel for him.

Joe Rogan actually woke me up shouting "knock-out". It was an awfully boring fight before that.
:lol: the exact same thing just happened to me!

Hope Etim's ok. The way his arm stuck out is something called the "fencing reflex". Usually means a serious concussion.

Just read up on that, very interesting..


John Terry (the famous "Kick racism out of football" picture incident) at 2:40, but check out the one straight after Terry.. He keeps swinging his arms.. crazy.

The greatest team in history
Munoz out of his fight with Sonnen on the 28th.

Bisping will take his place with the winner getting the next shot at Anderson Silva.

Shame they don't have more time to hype it as I have a feeling the trash talking will be more interesting than the fight.

Bisping looked shit and tired against a shitty fighter in Mayhem Miller. Hope he's upped his game considerably or else he'll get bitchslapped by Sonnen.

Good fights last night. Next up for Miller should be Barboza. Guillard was doing quite well until it went to the ground. Same with Ludwig.

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.

Well worth watching in the end. Delighted to see Barry get the win and it was a superb KO but he's still showing few signs of developingthe requisite ground game to advance into the top ten heavyweights. Miller did superbly well to weather the early storm and submit Guillard.

Not too long now until Cormier-Barnett. Easily the fight I'm most looking forward to other than Overeem-Dos Santos, although in fairness my man crush on Cormier borders on the inexplicable.

I know you need to register but I'm not sure what the restrictions are for different regions. I thought the prelims and main card was free online for the UK.

Im watching.

the prelims were pretty good

I reckon Evans v Davis will be a bit of a snore but Evans will win via decision

Sonnen will destroy Bisping

Bisping landed 40% more strikes and loses unanimously including 27-30 :houllier:
