Doesn't seem like a very exciting card, but sometimes they surprise you.

I'm meeting some friends at a bar to watch it.

Yeah, not worth buying, but I would watch a stream if anyone posted it. (hint hint...)

The bar usually go to shows the fights, Looks like this one will suck though.

Yeah, I'm just hoping that at least one or two fights will be worth watching... you never know.

It will show up when its time for the fight.

I'm buying it because Rashad is my favorite fighter and it will be interesting to see how he reacts after a loss.

Hopefully he will react by losing again.

I cannot stand that mouthy m'fer.

Hopefully Silva's BJJ is better than Rashad's wrestling.

Mouthy? Well when you back it up 95% of the time why not? Rashad is one hell of a striker for being a wrestler. I don't understand all the Rashad hate. He does showboat a little bit but so what thats entertaining.

I kinda like Rashad. He talks some, but he is no Lesnar. Maybe if he got a big dick tattoo on his chest he would be more obnoxious.

Its the showboating and the shit talking he does that bothers me. Nogueira is my favorite fighter at the moment. He is a beast on the ground and is humble about it.

That said, I enjoyed watching Evans on TUF despite all the smack talk. He really cared for his fighters unlike Jackson (why the hell isnt he in jail yet???)... made me hate him less. Don't get me wrong, I still want to see him get smashed tonight... just hate him a bit less.

Coaching against Rampage Made him look like a saint. Rampage would turn his back and storm off when one of his own fighters got KTFO, while Rashad went into the cage to help and console the guy.

I gain a ton of respect for Rashad (and lost a ton for Rampage) during that season of TUF.

All i know is that 'J-Lau' is THE gayest nickname any fighter has ever had.

And yes, i'd say it right to his face... me & my ax handle.

ROFL

Sweet!

I'm watching the Sopcast feed right now. It's pretty good right now. It might degrade once more people start watching.

Not sure how long it will stay up,but it'll give you another option just in case.

one more link

Dos Santos is 'bout to get kilt

Isnt it about time Rogan stopped dressing like a total bum? its always that same ****ing shirt in a different color.

This the Big Leagues, Joe...

0-1 on the night for me

Yvel looked like shit

Yeah, he looked slow as shit. Maybe he just got out of bed.

Alright time for Miller to get me back to even and then I'm taking Hazlett, Lauzon, and Silva

That was one hell of a shot!

that was the easiest call of the night

My link went tits up, who won and how?

Miller knocked him down and submitted him with an armbar when he tried to escape

Nice, which link are you using bud?

Same here.

:LOL:

this one is still working too (just checked it)

http://www.atdhe.net/5282/watch-ufc-108-evans-vs-silva

Sub Evans in there and you have my picks.

That one works for me, REP!

I like to call UFC Fight Night at our local wing bar, "Affliction T-shirt Night"

taking apart computers as a kid just to put them back together......that woulda earned my kid an ass whooping
toaster OK, other small stuff, no big deal, but even a trash CPU was a lot of cash back then

WOW!

Best fight I have seen in a long time.

ONE HELL OF A FIGHT!!

Very nice fight. Gotta got to stout though.

missed teh last two rounds, my link kept dying

I've got it on COX in HD.

Thanks muchly for this. Not the best audio/video quality, but at least there's no apparent lag or freezing/skipping.

Indeed. I hope it hangs in there to the end.

WHAP!

what a freaking knock out.

I called this about 30 seconds beforehand, Hazelett was standing far too straight up & open against a guy with his power crouching & obviously waiting to spring.

Those short kicks werent gonna hold back that explosiveness for long.

hell, I've gotten as many wrong as right tonight. If Silva doesn't win, I've got a losing record on the night for the first time I can recall

Silva is a complete idiot.........wow.

I think he just ran out of gas

unless I missed something after the fight. I clicked off of the feed after the decision was announced

Silva didnt have anything else to give. He was just gased.

It's nice to see Rashad use some strategy. He hasn't used his wrestling in quite a while.

My first time viewing a UFC event and what a wild night it was. I was highly impressed with Stout and Evans.

Seemed like a better night of fights than the card looked like at first glance. Hard to watch as closely in a bar, though.

Silva should have kept pouring it on in the third, rather than playing to the crowd. He had to know he was down 2-0 and needed the KO.

Yeah, I was rooting for Rashad going into the fight (but only slightly)... started pulling for the underdog in that third round.

I completely understand wrestling, takedowns and body control, but a wrestling really isn't my favorite style to watch. It leads to Lay n' Pray much to easily. I'd rather watch a banger or a slick submission artist any day.

That's not a knock on Rashad, (He's shown he can bang when he wants to)... just a general comment.

I wonder why he was calling out Rampage and not a shot at the title. He must really hate Rampage.

dissapointing main event. wanted to see a knockout.

We all do but you have to give Rashad credit...he has gotten by on his boxing and speed for so long that he forgot about his superior wrestling abilities that helped get him where he is. Thank Machida for helping Rashad get his head right and get back to being a balanced and more dangerous fighter by combining ALL of his skills. Rashad is a smart fighter and even though this wasn't that exciting to watch he fought a smart fight. Easy win for Rashad (for the most part).
