Have any of you ever been to a live UFC fight. I'm thinking about flying down for one in Feb.

I think he is already a confirmed fight for the finale. Most are speculating Houston Alexander. Announced tonight on the show.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/16970/spik...fight-card.mma

I'm shocked, White looked & sounded quite disappointed. I guess he's not ready to say goodbye to the ratings boost yet.

Feel bad for Big Baby. Hate Rampage. What a douche.

Yes, been to two so far. If you have great seats it's cool. Spendy these days though.

WTF r u talking about?

Did u even watch the show?

I will edit this by saying I'm glad he knocked that **** out last night. I got no respect for someone who picks on those they perceive to be weak.

Same - I liked seeing Roy knock that cocky grin off of James' face.

Especially when he stuck his chin out like Nelson couldn't hit him.

I thought it was pretty funny when Ole Limey stuck his chin out to taunt and got in knocked off. that said, I don't like the fatboy at all.

I thought bigbaby had shaub ready for a nap when he got full mount. Couldn't believe that he got up and KO'd him.


Bigbaby is fighting Matt Bitchrione saturday. I hate that guy too.

Fatcountrys weight will catch up to him sooner or later, he'll be huffing, puffing & unable to swing his heavy hands.

they have been talking about the Kimbo/Alexander fight for awhile now.

Dana gets down on Big Country who has earned his shot, but embraces Kimbo who hasn't earned anything. As long as Kimbo can make some money Dana will give him fights.

Thats true, i actually read it here but forgot.

Still, even had i not known that, White looked like he'd basically given up on him. He's always acted somewhat skeptical about him.

Houston Alexander is the closest thing White could give Kevin Slice to a stand up, back yard slug fest.

That actually is an appealing fight as a fan because I think someone is going to get their head taken off of their shoulders in about 1 minute. It's not going to be a ground match...it's going to be 2 guys coming to the middle to throw bombs. I like those fights.

Dana just wanted him on the Ultimate Fighter. He will get his chance now.

This is the first time i've actually watched an entire season and I dont know why I did. All the fighters are garbage and are going to get murdered when they fight legit competition. I kinda hope nelson wins so I can watch some real heavyweights dismatle that fat f***

Dana ****in hates Roy Nelson, he'll probably pit him against Carwin or Velasquez soon just to get him smashed.

Imagine that? It would be the first death in MMA.

Yep, just as long as he can keep the PPV buys up

Looking forward to the finale tonight, Slice/Alexander will be a Mad Minute at the least.

Here we go...

I have nothing against "Big Country" but he thinks he's exciting to watch and that's just crazy...lol And while not fair to some of the other fighters why wouldn't you wanna see Kimbo at least one more time :) Should make for an interesting night of fights.

yeh the cocky Brit got cold cocked. I also wanna see Bigbaby kick the shit outta Matt. I must say I underestimated Matt due to all his whining and bitching.

Go Big Baby.

Roy Nelson is fatter than I am...and he's fighting for TUF title...WTF.

I cant stand him and his BS

Big Baby...needs a stand up game. He's too big not to have a punch

Wow... so much for that.

So awkward and slow.

It was bad...I think he gassed halfway through the first round and should have been KO'ed with all those sad attempted takedowns that were ripe for a knee to the head.

He needs a lot of work if he's going to be serious MMA contender.

I'm looking forward to seeing Matt Hamill again, i havent seen much of him since he was completely robbed & jobbed against Bisping in England a few years ago. Maybe a fight after that, but otherwise bupkis.

He can really swing a brutal looking meathook to match his wrestling.

Hogan is a total ****ing wreck in this interview... Brother!

He looks coked up & stupid, even as that chick looks on with a worried expression, 'dont BLOW it you coked up moran?!...'

WTF is Dana White doing messing with that stuff...seriously, I wouldnt want that taint on the UFC

Kimbo vs. Alexander next....

Watch it end up being a ground battle..lol

That would be funny...I'd like to see Kimbo succeed. He'd be a good draw for UFC and it would be good for him.

One thing is clear, he's not getting a free ride into the UFC...as it should be.

wow this is boring.

This tells me that Alexander is afraid of Kimbo

AAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

KIMBO! THE SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if he thinks he's going to win by injuring his front leg he's wrong. Kimbo has a chance to finish this round.

Kimbo obviously doesn't have submission down yet. just beat the shit out of his face and finish it.

alexander doesnt want any of Kimbo...none of him.

not impressed by either fighter, but I'd give it to Kimbo based on the 2nd round

I went into the fight not knowing who I wanted to root for.

After watching Alexander circle the whole first round, I was rooting for Kimbo.

Alexander wanted no part of standing toe to toe with Kimbo.

(And I hope BJ ruins Diego)

Alexander struck me as the kind of guy that wasnt afraid of anyone...and he went 100% puss against Kimbo.

Anyone who wanted to actually fight Kimbo would have gone in there and most likely whipped some Slice ass...

Instead we got what we got...Dana has to be happy. best of both worlds

Yeah, I'm pretty shocked that Alexander wasn't willing to stand and bang. That's pretty much the only way he ever wins.

I only tuned in for Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter, tbh.

I find choreographed fighting more enticing than tedious Greco-Roman hugfests. Though, I mark for the occasional uppercut decapitation.

Mother of God, Bones Jones is for real...

Amazing quickness & brutal style.

Holy shit... that was a brutal beating.

How embarrassing/disappointing...that was just awful

WTF? DQ?

I love Hamill (who doesn't)... but Jones got ****ed over. First they were taking away a point... then it's suddenly a DQ?

Bullshit. Even without the illegal shot, he won that fight.

In any case, I love Jone's style. I'm looking forward to seeing him fight again.

Pullin' for Schaub here.

Big Country already has an MMA career. He'll be fine.

OMG...

Roy comes out to Weird Al's "I'm Fat".

I may have to reconsider. LMAO

LMAO

Wow! Didn't realize he had that kinda power.

A rather unorthodox person to win TUF...but, ok...lets see him further himself in UFC just like Kimbo Slice.

that was fast lol

Damned entertaining for a free show.

Big Country is the new Tank Abbot.

I've seen Nelson fight a few times on HDNET... he was a bit of a ringer going into the season. He's a legitimate MMA pro fighter, looks aside.

Dana may try to give him bad matchups... to prove that the UFC is just that much of a higher level.

Of course it's also possible that a guy like that who's legitimately a good fighter, is good for business.

wow, I lost a lot of respect for Brendan's overall boxing skill, as well as his chin, that may have been a thump with some gut behind it but that wasn't pinpoint accuracy by any means... He'll get those routinely in the big boy cage, better learn to deflect them better or toughen up... Damn that's disappointing I've been pulling for him this whole show and every fight after that lucky slip tap against Demico I thought he was showing overall improvement... shows how much I know...

I think he'll be fine. I was rooting for him too.

Roy Nelson is no chump. I know he looks like he just drug his ass off the couch... but that's not the case. The dude's a talented, and very experienced fighter. No shame in losing to him at this stage.

Roy Nelson is awesome and hilarious, that's all. Loved seeing him KO Schaub's cocky ***.

Mazzagatti is the worst ref in the history of MMA and a disgrace to the sport...the guy has no clue what he's doing and almost every time he refs a fight, there is some kind of controversy.

Why on earth does he go to take a point away from Jones to DQ'ing him??? If anything, it's a No Contest. The reason it was a ridiculous decision is because Mazzagatti didn't even have the cut checked out by a doctor to see if Hamill could continue, which more than likely he could've continued.

All he did was ask him if he was done and stopped it on his own....Hamill couldn't continue because of his shoulder, not because of the cut. Mazzagatti being the idiot he is just assumed it was because of the cut and therefore gave Hamill a DQ victory.

He should've took a point away, had the doctor check the cut out, and then the fight would've continued.

The guy is just beyond terrible.

Anyways, Jones is the truth. He absolutely manhandled a great wrestler like no one has ever done. The dude is only going to get better with age, he will be the UFC LHW Champion one day...bank on it.

I was definitely impressed with Jones. And that strike shouldn't be illegal anyway.

Good fights last night! I was expecting a better return to the cage for Marcus Jones, but was exposed as a very one dimensional fighter. Even his take down skills are subpar. When he can't overwhelm fighters with his size, he is dead in the water.

Kimbo looked like a much improved fighter. He still needs a lot of work, but always has a punchers chance. It's nice to see Kimbo go in with a game plan, and stick to it. He closed the distance with Houston, and lowered the boom. Impressive win as not many people in the "know" ever thought Slice would beat Alexander. I heard all about Alexander's striking ability and Muay Thai skills that would end Slice fast....not so.

Nelson had so much more experience than any other fighter in the house. I watched Nelson fight a ton in the IFL, and drove a couple of fighters around when the IFL was young. He's fat and out of shape, but can take a punch and is quick on his feet. He will smother you on the ground. Nothing has changed about Roy since his IFL days.
