Free UFC Fights On FOX Starting NOW

[Bwana]

Just a heads up.

[stonedstooge]

Hope its better than the last attempt FOX had with UFC. Match only lasted a few seconds

[Bwana]

It should be, if not, the price is right.

[KCTitus]

Good call...thx, forgot about that.

[Bwana]

Good call...thx, forgot about that.

No problem, been there.

[stonedstooge]

It should be, if not, the price is right.

Yeah hard to beat free

[stonedstooge]

No problem, been there.

Would these guys fighting be like a pay per view undercard fighters? I follow boxing, but don't have much experience in the UFC system

[Bwana]

In some cases, but some are mainstream, like Evans for example. Sound be some decent fights.

[Shogun]

No, these are main card fighters.

The winner of the main event fights for the Light-Heavyweight title.

And the co main event decides who fights for the Middleweight title.

The third fight is between two top 10 guys.

Yeah, the lucky winner gets to take on Bones Jones, ouch.

[stonedstooge]

Thanks for the answers

[Rasputin]

Yes. Hope this is a good fight!

[Titty Meat]

Thanks for the heads up.

[KCTitus]

Yeah, the lucky winner gets to take on Bones Jones, ouch.

heh...yeah, I wouldnt call them exactly lucky.

[SPchief]

Weidman looks decent on such short notice

[stonedstooge]

Looks like he's going to walk into a left if he's not careful

[Shogun]

Maia should drop out of the top 10. This is very embarrassing for him. He's had plenty of time to get better striking and cardio and hes still the same old Maia,...Best BJJ in the UFC hands down, all the tools. Don't know whats stopping him, maybe hes stuck in wanting to roll all the time. He should just stick to ADCC

[SPchief]

Weidman up 2-0 IMO

[SPchief]

Both guys completly gassed

[Shogun]

I'm calling my sources after the event. Maia is getting cut, I know it.

[Bwana]

Bisping is such a douche. I hope he gets curb stomped.

[SPchief]

Should be a good one here

[Titty Meat]

Who's the Main Event?

[Rasputin]

Should be a good one here

so far pretty good, thought bisping was going get taken out early from the start but he has fought back.

[Shogun]

Who's the Main Event?

Rashad Evans vs Phil Davis

[stonedstooge]

Does it score points for trying a takedown or getting one?

[SPchief]

Could go either way, but I think Sonnen gets it.

[Rasputin]

That needed another round

[alnorth]

Bisping should win that fight

[Shogun]

Does it score points for trying a takedown or getting one?

getting a takedown does.

retarded rule though, a lot of fighters do takedowns and do absolutely nothing with it. I'd like to see a point for getting the takedown and then doing something advantageous

[stonedstooge]

[Shogun]

Good call. won rounds 1 and 3

[alnorth]

Sonnen must have scored some crazy points in that 3rd round.

[SPchief]

LMAO

[Bwana]

Anderson is going to abuse him.

[SPchief]

Sonnen must have scored some crazy points in that 3rd round.

I don't think it was 30-27 like one judge scored it, but I think the right guy won

[Shogun]

Sonnen must have scored some crazy points in that 3rd round.

First 2 rounds were PRETTY DAMN EVEN. Just a lot of dirty boxing and cage stalling, Sonnen pressed more in the 1st with his pace before slowing it down. Definitely lost the 2nd. and the 3rd was complete domination and 2 sub attempts. Pretty clear cut

[jab0450]

That was some straight up WWE shit right there. Sonnen is an idiot.

[Shogun]

Anderson is going to abuse him.

Have you watched the 1st fight?

[KcMizzou]

Sonnen's such a tool. This isn't pro wrestling.

[TrickyNicky]

I guess we know why CM Punk was going to walk out with Sonnen once upon a time now...

[Shogun]

That was some straight up WWE shit right there. Sonnen is an idiot.

Sonnen sells the shit out of some ppv's.

[KcMizzou]

Have you watched the 1st fight?He presumably wont be all roided up this time.

[Bwana]

I hope the last fight is decent, because the first two sucked. Just the way it goes some nights, at least I didn't pay for the damn thing.

[Bwana]

Have you watched the 1st fight?

Yep, I saw it live and think it was a fluke.

[KC_Connection]

He presumably wont be all roided up this time.
It's more likely that he just gets some better masking agents next time.

[alnorth]

First 2 rounds were PRETTY DAMN EVEN. Just a lot of dirty boxing and cage stalling, Sonnen pressed more in the 1st with his pace before slowing it down. Definitely lost the 2nd. and the 3rd was complete domination and 2 sub attempts. Pretty clear cut

I thought Sonnen narrowly lost the first 2 and maybe the 3rd round wouldn't be enough, but I admit I'm not an expert in how these things get scored. It was close enough that I wouldn't have thought anyone got robbed, so I'm fine with Sonnen winning.

[Shogun]

He presumably wont be all roided up this time.

lol @ all roided up. it was prescribed TrT from his doctor and the issue was not reporting it to the NSAC. Dan Henderson is on the same thing.

[BigCatDaddy]

Didn't see this thread so I'll repeat my comment.

Was Rogan watching the same Sonnen/Bisping fight I did? I didn't see anything controversial about that one. Bisping did pretty much nothing while Sonnen was taking him down the entire fight. Good call by the judges on that one. Could have been 29-28 or 30-27.

[Rasputin]

Cool, 5, five minute rounds. Should be a better fight.

[Trevo_410]

who's the underdog here?

[Shogun]

who's the underdog here?

Davis

[alnorth]

well, I think its safe to say Evans won that round.

[jab0450]

The only thing keeping Davis off his ass right now is his reach.

[Shogun]

The only thing keeping Davis off his ass right now is his reach.

And being a d-1 level national champion wrestler?

[Captain Obvious]

Unless he pulls off a big shot, somebody is receiving his first loss tonight.

[alnorth]

Davis is not going to win a decision. He'll have to take Evans out in the 5th

[jab0450]

And being a d-1 level national champion wrestler?

Hes a great wrestler. Just saying Evans is much better on his feet and thats where this fight has been the whole time. He just cant get in on him.

[Shogun]

Oh, I thought you meant literally on his ass from getting taken down. lol Yeah Evans striking game is much more complete, rashad is actually a really really good boxer. He looked Lethardic tonight

[alnorth]

stupid question: what do you have to do, short of being knocked out or submitted, to survive a round but fight so poorly you score only 4 or 5 points in that round? If no one ever scores fewer than 8 points per round, they may as well have a 0,1,2 point system.

[kcxiv]

Them fights were lame for free tv. He needs to fuckign put a Nick/Nate Diaz fight on fox. lol

[ArrowheadMagic]

Jones will destroy Evans. You cant finish off a gassed Davis? Evans wont see rd 2.

[Shogun]

You'll either end the round with a 10-10, 10-9, 10-8

10-10 would be a draw

10-9's are the most common, means losing the round, thats like what you'd get in most of this fight, rashad dominated but he never really had davis in trouble for an entire round.

10-8's would be somebody completely dominating the entire round and the other fighter basically not even landing a punch, its pretty uncommon, but they happen. You basically have to beat them to a pulp without finishing to get a 10-8

[Bwana]

I want the last two hours of my life back.

Fighter A wins round 10-8 plus fighter B gets a point deducted during the round for something like a kick to the groin, round becomes 10-7, plus any other possible point deductions (just listing a possible scenario, not probable scenario).

[ArrowheadMagic]

I want the last two hours of my life back.

lol.. thanks for the heads up.

[KCTitus]

I want the last two hours of my life back.

well...at least you didnt pay 59.99 for that...see the last half dozen PPV's.

[jab0450]

Im watching the X-Games now to make up for the fights! Much better...

[alnorth]

oh, ok that makes sense. Realistically, the worst you should do is a 10-8 "wow, you got your ass kicked but somehow did not get finished" but they leave plenty of room for deductions in case someone is racking up penalties.

Another question, if someone was hypothetically fighting so dirty that he racked up 8 deducted points worth of penalties, wouldn't the ref end the fight and throw his ass out long before then, or not?

[BigCatDaddy]

Yeah, he would get DQ'd after the few points were removed I would guess.

[HoneyBadger]

Never watch free fights. They suck. Unless they are bum fights

[morphius]

I've learned to just record fights when they are on. Can watch what seems like 4 hours worth of fights in 35 minutes. I don't care about the fighters life stories, blah, blah, blah.

[LocoChiefsFan]

I don't think it was 30-27 like one judge scored it, but I think the right guy won

Apparently Dana White feels the same way.


@danawhite
Dana White

30-27 is soooooooo bad it's insane. That judge should never be allowed to watch a fight again!!!!!

[KCUnited]

Curt Menefee needs to light himself on fire while Cassel is in a deep sleep.

[BigCatDaddy]

Apparently Dana White feels the same way.

I thought 2 was close, but I would say it's a coin toss on who won that round. Maybe I missed something and would have to watch it again. Sonnen won 1 IMO and 3 was a no doubter.
