GSG Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not a terrible card. Noke-Brenneman could be good. Oliveira is a solid guy, and Cub Swanson seems to either surprise me or disappoint me. Matt Hamill comes out of a 1 year retirement. Always fun to root against Bisping. How can you not like a guy like Brian Stann? We'll crown the first ever UFC Flyweight champ. The big question is: Does Vitor stand a chance against a much taller (6'4" vs 6') and much longer (84" reach vs 74" reach) Jon Jones? I don't think he does, but I'll be rooting for him. Thoughts?

This fight probably shouldn't have happened. Belfort is way past his prime. Jones should be willing to fight the best fighter's out there. Total fail by UFC. Quote Link to comment

It's pretty much all on Jones. They offered him opponents and he turned them down because he's a spoiled little punk. Yesterday he was trying to say that Dana should apologize to him for the things he said about Jones. He just signed his deal wit Nike and now his ego is even more over-inflated than it already was. I'm just hoping for a decent fight, but I don't see that happening. Jones is very talented but he is a Grade-A Douche Bag. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 IT IS FINALLY TIME!!!!! I have been waiting so long for UFC to come back.... Split Decision(My MMA podcast) has a preview we will post today and i will link that on here when we do. We will also have our predicitions up later as well. Quick look: Jones out matches Belfort in almost every phase of the game but MMA is a weird sport where you just never know. Great card.. very good from top to bottom. Very few "no-names"... I think this card will be enjoyable. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Bisping looks great fit wise. I like how jacked they both are too fight! LETS DO THIS! Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well, we were pretty close to having a new LHW champ with that armbar Vitor had. Just never got it locked in. Anyone else think Dana looked a little upset that Demetrious Johnson won the Flyweight belt? I thought he was shaking his head like maybe he thought Benavidez won. Quote Link to comment
