Flyweight: Darren Uyenoyama vs. Alptekin Ozkilic


Would love to see Joe Lauzon come out the winner and start making his way back towards top 10. He's an entertaining fighter to say the least.

I except (hope) Faber to get the job done and see him get another shot. Can't see how he doesn't get a shot with a win here.

Overall, a lot of really good match ups. Excited for this card. Predicting Barboza by leg kicks

If I remember reading right, there will be a total of 33 events by the time the year is out. Dana wants to do 55 next year

That's more than 1 a week ffs!

Everyone will be a headliner!

Dont think Urijah Faber's heart is in the game as much anymore. He has lots of other projects outside UFC nowadays. I think Michael will have his number and his hunger to win more will prevail. Not to mention his talent as a young rising star.

gutted matt brown got injured, was so excited to see
if brown could have made another big step forward

mac for me to beat uriah but I wouldnt be confident
main event, toss a coin
i'm saying benavidez by split

What time in Ireland are the fights on between Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez and Urijah Faber and Michael McDonald

SRFC

Cant wait to see Barboza big fan of his expecting an explosive early K.O.

great offer even though im not with them anymore myself

was enough giving them around 60pm and then to lose
the ufc to another crowd
I said i'd lose sky instead (well, kinda;)

Yeah your right my mistake forgot it was on fox so its on earlier better off that way imo won't have stay up past 5am to watch the main event

mailburner

quiet thread for what looks like a good card

trujillo bowling should be a war after the rematch where
it was a no contest
really looking forward to that one and no doubt another
stand and bang type fight

really rooting for court mc gee also as i think la flare is
very one dimensional
think mc gee will be a bad match up for him

joe lauzon the legend will surely take care of danzig
hope he does anyway

scudzilla

Wow, Trujillo looked good

He handed some SERIOUS strikes, taught it would have been stopped sooner!

El Guapo!

Unusual to see a fighter with no sponsors names on their shorts.

Cody is a sorry sight.

I can't believe he's still in the ufc
credit to him for lasting this long

the fight between him and mendes was without doubt
the biggest gulf in class between two fighters ive seen
before and after any fight

ASOT

Very good round from bobby green there!

ASOT

Nice little treble on Green, Zach & Trujillo that last round had me worried after green seemed gas! His movement was anderson silva esque at times!

themandan6611

some survival, he'll win now

ASOT

Barboza with an amazing recovery.

themandan6611

he'd give facekicker a good fight

adamski8

Thought green was a bit lucky really, he did a lpt of avoiding strikes but wasnt very aggressive.

adamski8

Edson just got that win as i thought as did one judge that the first was a 10-8. No way the second was a 10-8 as rogan was elluding to though.

Cody looked in terrible shape, dont know how he is in the ufc at all.

Was just reading about herb dean removing codys price tags from his shorts mid fight. Wtf? Arent refs meant to check them prefight

SRFC

Dunno how edson survived that, some leg kicks outta him ive a feeling his chin will stop him going to the top just cant take a bomb at all,his Kicks are unreal though great to watch.

user2011

A bit tough to call the second a 10-8 but I can understand it, although Edson didn't rock him he battered his leg when this was happening in his other fights I was tapping for the guys after a few kicks landed they are something special.

Great spirit from both guys to push through to the end, enjoyable fight to watch.

mailburner

lauzon danzig next

surely this will mean danzig gets the boot should he lose

3-7 in his last ten in the ufc now

somebody must like him
I don't think he has a hope of beating lauzon myself

ASOT

I love mendes

mailburner

lentz has some chin

couldnt see him getting past the first myself

mdwexford

Closer fight than I expected.

mailburner

credit to lentz there or maybe mendes
had an offnight
not sure which

SRFC

Not a great card is it really bar the edson fight its not a classic really hopefully the main event is decent.

Lenin Skynard

This McDonald/Faber matchup is absolutely perfect. I hope it's a good fight. Rooting for McDonald.

mdwexford

This should be a great fight, looking forward to it.

mdwexford

Wow how good did Faber look there, quality.

Ahhhhh its grand

That was impressive from Faber.

Lenin Skynard

Can't complain about that. Faber looks seriously good lately. Good win for him.

SRFC

Sick performance form Faber,very disappointing from mcdonald didnt /couldnt let his hands go at all.

mdwexford

New champ here I reckon.

mdwexford

Lol or not.

Wow.

Ahhhhh its grand

Did not see that happening. Brutal knockout all the same.

MrStuffins

What a KO! Was NOT expecting that.

Really good night of fights! Barboza v Castillo FOTN for me!

SRFC

Main events were sick,now to stay up for broner maidana or not

Lenin Skynard

Fantastic to see the flyweight title being won by a knock-out.

Man that was easily the biased Joe Rogan we've ever seen during the Mendes fight.

Mendes absolutely dominated Lintz - Almost finished him in round 1, 8 takedowns, and dropped him with a flying knee in round 3.

Rogan really bugged me in that fight.

Mendes wasnt the typical mendes wev seen before, he had a problem breathing apparently thats why he wasnt as aggressive after the first few minutes!

I agreed with more or less everything rogan was saying, he wasnt doing his typical ground and pound assault when he took lentz down.

Mr. Manager

What a performance by Faber - loved it. Sick knockout by Johnson too.
