JustSmile=) Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 ^ Well that was about the exciting part of that fight.. and yeah, the slam.. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ben "Smooth" Henderson - New UFC LW Champ! Hmmm.. Pettis won decisively on the same card.. A rematch perhaps.. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Great job Bendo! It took someone with who could match Edgar's pace and cardio. Kicks kept getting caught but Frankie wasn't able to do much other than that so thought it was the right decision. Overall, the card wasn't as exciting as some of the other recent events. Have got to watch that event again though. Looks like there might be some controversy again as far as the judging goes, but what if the mindset was more "Pride" than "UFC?" Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) ^ True, and Joe Rogan pointed out the same thing. That and the fact that Frankie didn't do too much despite the fact that he was using some pretty good throws on Smooth. In contrast, Ben also pulled off some good guillotine and kimura attempts (too bad none resulted in actual finishes. Guess all those body kicks would also have had some effect on Edgar's spring and cardio, but not really noticeable in the fight itself. Edited February 26, 2012 by joseph1 Quote Link to comment

joseph1 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^ True. That's something Dana White pointed out at the start of the broadcast and injured or not, IMHO the performance hurt Rampage's legend and it happened in front of the fan base that created that legend in the first place. Was trying to come up with a "big fight" that could would have interested him more, but am drawing blanks (Gustafsson maybe). Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 TUF possibly headed to Philippines I think that this is a first step for a UFC event in PH.. If UFC can acquire a number of talents after this, then they can probably host an event afterwards.. Quote Link to comment
CharlesOngSy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hope our PXC and AFX talents can go to the UFC. Quote Link to comment

If UFC can acquire a number of talents after this, then they can probably host an event afterwards.. Best news I've heard all day. With the inclusion of the lighter weight classes via the WEC (and upcoming flyweight tourney), our physically smaller fighters now have a fighting chance. There also isn't a collegiate wrestling community in the Philippines (AFAIK) but Wushu, Aikido, Karate, Judo, and Muay Thai have been popular for a long time so skills wise, there should also be a pretty good base.

frankee Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Brandon Vera Vs. Mark Munoz as choaches @ light heavy weight would make sense for a TUF Philippines. They are the most recognizable mma fighters from the Philippines Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 ^ They fight at different weights though. I'm thinking this might become more of a mixed country TUF rather than a pure Philippines/Australia/India series. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 WTF!! Ian McCall won that fight! First flyweight fight in UFC, first stupid decision.. Quote Link to comment
SaintPeter5858 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Randy couture is really amazing! Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 It's always fun watching Kampmann fight.. Another come from behind win by Hitman by choking Alves.. Though he lost, Alves looked really good in that fight.. but makes me wonder what's next for him in WW.. Quote Link to comment
