Exciting card this weekend. Machida/Jones should be exciting. Also really looking forward to seing Makdesi fight again, it's great to see TKD in the octagon.
Can't wait to see The Nog's in action! Big Nog is perhaps my personal favourite HW ever so any time he is in the cage is exciting for me! Lil' Nog vs Ortiz is a bit late, but an interesting fight anyway. I am genuinely stoked for this card
A bit of Lyoto doing Kata http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/12/07/lyoto-machida-ufc-140-open-workout-video/
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs2988d1BNM"]Dana White UFC 140 Vlog Day 2 - YouTube[/ame] Dana White Blog....should be safe as I didnt hear any swearing. Man how does Jones make weight? I had to cut 7kg last week for a comp, took me 3 weeks and no food.
He has mentioned of going to Heavyweight in a few years. Quoted as saying "not wanting to suffer the (weight) cut at 30 years old". Which will be interesting as he finally wont be the big fighter, but still have that crazy reach advantage over everyone.
Spoiler Jung KO Hominick 7 fricking seconds!!!!!! ISANE!!! Spoiler Lil' Nog busts up Tito - suprising to me the manner of victory (I picked decision to Nog), but at least i got the winner right Spoiler DAMN YOU FRANK MIR!!! Mir submission R1 - In fairness he showed again why his jits is world class - as much as I love Big Nog it might be time to hang up the ol' golves
Spoiler re: jones - machida: twas a nice fight, lyoto landed some nice punches, jones nearly split his skull open with an epic roundhouse elbow, and then staggered him with a face punch and guilliotined him into unconsciousness. gg machida, but you got pwned
Spoiler How predictable was it that Mir broke Nog's arm? You put a guy who's already broken someone's arm against a guy who never taps. Fantastic BJJ display.
Spoiler Haha, I agree but thought that it was really, really slack of nog to be caught in that. The way he lost position and then failed to take Mir's back just made him look very... old. I thought that period on the ground (before the americana escapes/reversals) was really scrappy. LOL at Mir's standup too :hat: Jones owned machida but wasn't as one-sided as I imagined it to be until the shoot. First time I've seen a standing guilloteen finish a guy in MMA if I'm not mistaken?
Spoiler Was very happy to see Mir get the win and I loved the battle on the ground that led up to it. Feel like Nog was trying to show off by going for the choke though, thre was no decent reason not to just keep pounding on Mir. He was within a few seconds of winning quite easily.
Oh my god. THIS GODDAMN CARD Spoiler Nog getting his arm snapped by an unconscious Mir. Lyoto blitzing Bones before getting guillotined to Ragdolltown. I'm not even going to mention Jung vs Hominick because DAMN
There was another couple of years ago....though I think it was in a TUF fight. Also... POP SNAP Ewwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spoiler ..And yet another fight, Reffed by Herb telling Mir to stop breaking a guy's arm
