Kenny Robertson looked great. I'm an hour and change behind on the DVR.

Also, mma fantasy site never updated last event and never gave stuff to pick this one. Safe to say it's a lost cause. Stupid Sherdog...

Yeah that sucked for Siler, ref jumped the gun when he saw the 2nd punch land. I don't totally blame him but Siler never went limp or anything so he should have been given the benefit of the doubt for another second or three.

edit: "All three judges score the fight 30-25"

Ouch.

That is a lot of dicksucking of Fabio Maldonado considering he's a power striker couldn't put away a guy that didn't block a punch for 8 straight minutes. Walk up, 1-2...let him circle away...repeat. Yeah, that was fucking pathetic. Throw a fucking hook while he's circling to your power side for an entire fucking round!

All I was thinking that whole fight was how old and bad Hendo looked. Then KABLOOEY!

Yeah, no doubt. I was watching it thinking that Dan should retire after this fight, as clearly he had nothing left...until that shot of course. Now that being said, he still slow as shit and only has that right hand power to give him a shot at winning, so he won't ever be relevant again.

That last fight was unreal.

Did you all see Shogun's nose close up after the fight? Looks like he got skulled with a sledge hammer.

That right while he was on his knees right after the big hook was right on the nose and at a weird downward angle.

BTW anyone notice Hendo's new logo?

I caught the preview for the next Ultimate Fighter Brazil, any idea when that is? I'm assuming we'll have to get it online

I think it is already in its 3rd episode via Fight Pass online... bleh. The only way they make this Fight Pass thing a real draw is if they start including PPV's.

Yup. Otherwise I will just continue to stream the fights that they show only on Fight Pass, and download episodes of TUF if I want to watch it.

There's been rumors and speculation for a few years that the UFC would/should do a specific PPV subscription. Makes sense to me, fuck spending like $800 a year to watch all the PPV's.

Also, new Jack Slack

Jack Slacks Best Of: Body Shots | Bleacher Report

After reading his articles I think I'm some kind of expert for like a week and constantly want to point out what fighters are picking good angles and shit. Then I feel like a dipshit.

OH SHIT! You guys remember that Russian 2 on 2 MMA stuff that was talked about last year? Well they did a season of it I guess. And people liked it. And it's coming to the US(with a few more rules).

Next Friday on AXSTV at 10pm. Duuuuude.
Did any of you end up watching this 2 weeks back? Just catching up on my DVR, what a clusterfuck. But awesome=P 2 on 1 with submissions is ludicrous, one guy goes for an arm and one for a leg every time. They show clips from season 1 and it was even awesomer. There was a cage around the arena and kicks/knees to the head on the ground were apparently allowed.

Upkicks!

edit:TUF 19 cast announced, and there's a couple names I recognize right away.

Dhiego Lima: Here might be your winner. He's a killer. His brother Douglas is probably the better fighter, but he's still awesome.
Lyman Good: Seemed pretty good in Bellator. Lots of real MMA experience.
Cathal Pendred: Was a lot of hype about him fairly recently, partly due to the success of Conor McGregor. I suspect the UFC would love another Irish guy to hype.
