super bummed out that dominick cruz had to pull out of his fight this weekend
cruz vs renan barao was one of my mostly highly anticipated match ups of the year
jose aldo vs richardo lamas should be a good fight as well

Cruz is done. Too injury prone

but he's sooo fun to watch and him and barao would have been an amazing fight
none stop

[bagley920]

I'm not a fan or him or Machida, that style just doesn't sit with me. It looks like strategy to some but to me it's just avoiding

Having said that, Barao would have whooped his ass and will do the same this Saturday

Idk bags. Im not a huge Cruz fan either but the man does have skills and its not like he runs away from the fight for 15-25mins. He still throws. Just very evasive in his stand up. I think Cruz/Barrao would have been good for sure. Better then watching Uriah get the shit kicked out of his lead leg anyway

I'm hoping Faber gives a much better showing this time now that the deal with his sister is gone

Can someone tell me why John Makdesi still has a job? He obviously can't make weight. Didn't Anthony Johnson get cut for the same shit? Makdesi has missed weight like 5 times now

He made weight yesterday, and I think he's only missed weight twice (not recently, though)

[bagley920]

Sorry, I meant Lineker. Both Johns notorious for missing weight, got them confused. Has missed weight in 3 of 5 UFC fights and almost missed it yesterday. Batting .500 isn't gonna keep you a job, nor should it IMO

I can only guess that since he won his fights, he was able to apologize and do some negotiating with his contract. Anthony Johnson was let go b/c he missed weight in two weight classes. His last fight was at a catchweight of 197 (supposed to be 185), which he lost against Vitor. He now fights at 205 and is being considered for a return to the UFC.

Rumble will be back but it's funny how Dana picks and chooses to enforce stuff on certain people and now on others

Depends on how much $ people are willing to pay to watch you fight. No one likes a boring ass winner (jake shields) but will pay to watch an exciting loser (lenard garcia). Also depends on how many waves u cause. Dana loves dudes that say YES to him all the time lol

[bagley920]

None of my friends like Cruz and the way he fights so I think Dana is probably happier with this matchup $ wise

i love watching cruz fight
the odd ball combo's he strings together short circuit my brain

[bagley920]

Eddie Munster just doesn't do it for me haha

[natehate]

I love watching Jose fight. Technic as clean as his makes me happy. It's not perfect in a strictly stand up way. But it's as close as you get in mma

[bagley920]

What do you guys think? Early stoppage for Urijah?

[natehate]

definately an early stoppage but he wasnt gonna win either way

[bagley920]

Tell that to Abel Trujillo haha

I dont think it was early and i think every stoppage is early lol. Herb gave him a great chance early on to recover and he did. Then the second knockdown all he did was hold Rennans leg and cover his head. He knows the rules, you cant just turtle and stay stationary like that. Was he getting hurt? Nope. But he did it to himself by turtling like that (GOTTA MOVE!!hear that shit every damn fight)Upsetting way to end a potentionally good fight
