I feel bad for Faber's future health. If he keeps taking leg kicks like that, by the time he reach the age of 40 he will be walking with a cane. Seriously.....

Faber should definitely drop way back but if he wins 3-4 fights and Cruz is there...give him another shot.Comment

No he won't. Thats soft tissue damage. Those kicks aren't breaking bones or even damaging ligaments.Comment

Them Nova Uniao guys not only have really good takedown defense but they also have legit, scary, world class ground games. What makes that camp really special though is that all of them are homegrown talents; not taking some guy and fine tuning him, but rather building something out of nothing. Helluva camp.
With that said, I thought Urijah could've won this fight (and picked him to do so) by mixing up the strikes and trying to keep Barao guessing with the threat of the takedown. Problem is he couldn't close the distance and he's just not that good enough of a striker to beat Barao solely in a standup fight. It was a decent technical battle but it wasn't the type of war that I was expecting. Just goes to show you how good Renan Barao is though in my opinion because the only other guy to completely outclass Faber was Aldo.
Rest of the card stunk and Ben Askren + Dan Henderson's tweets summed up the 149 main card (outside of Clements - Riddle) very well.Last edited by XFactah416; 07-22-2012, 01:17 AM.Comment

Matt Riddle killed the post-fight press conference with his rant about a fan spitting on him lol. Dan Hardy is gonna take him out, but I want to see that fight now.Comment

thank god i didn't pay for that. As much as i love the UFC the PPVs just never seem to be worth paying anymore these days. Add to that the fact they want people to pay for a new PPV every month its just a bit much. There are so many guys in the UFC that maybe it's starting to become overkill between the many different fighters and tv shows they have on. It's hard to get amped up anymore because it's always on.
But i feel bad for whoever shelled out money to watch that last night.
As for Faber, he's basically a gatekeeper for now. He's gotta win at least 3-4 fights in a row before getting another shot.Comment

They also need to bring in the yellow/red cards. No reason to let Kongo rest of the cage for the 3rd round.Originally posted by MoJust once I'd like to be the one they call a jerk off.Originally posted by MoYou underestimate my lazinessOriginally posted by Mo**** ya

I love when people say that its "overkill." Those are going to be the same people that complained in March/April when there wasn't a card for like 6 weeks. The same folks who will complain when there isn't a card for almost a month in October/November.Comment

Lavigne is just a horrible ref. Kongo is only exciting when he gets knocked out. With the exception of the Barry fights, his wins are always boring.Comment

I went out to a sports bar with one of my buddies to watch this and the only thing I have to say is there were more people watching the shenanigans going on in the bar than the main event. But hey, at least I learned that there's a legitimate 1%er biker gang in Denham Springs, LA.

Well safe to say I made a good decision going out last night instead of watching. I heard the Lombard/Boestch and Kongo fights were awful and Barao just pretty much outpointed Faber so I don't even really have a desire to go back and watch the fights.
Safe to say that Pederaneiras and his crew at Nova Uniao could be called the best coach/camp in MMA now. 2 UFC champs in Aldo and Barao and a Bellator champ in Dantas.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

The last three PPV's IMO have been awful on paper and awful in reality... not anyone's fault, just fact.
Good news is the next three PPV's look good on paper, barring injury. And IMO the Fox card will be solid too.Comment
