Yeah, but I hope they don't try to discredit Mike's victory though. I hate when fighters fight injured because they always have an excuse.
And the Franklin vs. Silva fight was insane! The best part was the last 15 seconds of the fight!
I'm glad I didn't order this event. UFC 99 was pretty meh.
Rich vs Silva was a good show. I'm glad Rich won, but I'm sad Silva lost. I like them both, but Silva may need to consider the future of fight career. It's obvious that his old "Axe Murderer" style isn't there anymore, but his new found defensive approach isn't getting very far either. On the other hand, at least he took down Jardine when his more aggressive style.
Crocop vs Al Turk- I for one had no idea Crocop was even fighting at this event. 😂 Assessing Crocop is complicated here. Yes, his win came from an accidental eye poke that the ref didn't call, but I'd venture to say that Crocop looked similar to his old self. He's still not the guy who fought Fedor quite yet, but he looked better. He used his old spiral defense to toss the larger Al Turk aside, and his boxing looks much improved. Hopefully, he'll return to where he isn't relying on that single technique, his left high kick, to win his fights.
That said, it looks like his fight deal with the UFC was for only one fight. He is going to DREAM where he is signed for 3(I believe) fights. It's strange he would do that, since he claimed he wanted to make another, genuine run for the UFC HW title. I guess DREAM is going to pay more. Crocop is huge in Japan, and I've noticed that the Japanese audience cares a little less about win records. Over here in the States, you're irrelevant after like 2-3 losses.
Shame still, the fanboy in me really wants Crocop to return the way he was. Maybe he's going to Japan to tune up his skills?

Ray Mercer KO'd Tim Sylvia in 10 seconds!Thank you God. So happy.
Now two of Fedor's "big" wins have been replicated by a washed up, bald boxer who is almost 50 years old and a fighter who noone knew before like a couple of days ago.
I do wonder how Dana will respond to two former champs going down to Ray ****ing Mercer and Brett Rogers.

In his most recent interview he said if Barnett beats Fedor he wants Barnett in the UFC.
Barnett will NOT be in UFC then. He ain't winning.

Originally posted by Dr. Leg KickDamn! Tim done fell off big time. What type of fight was that? I see pics of it on Ray's page, but I don't see the results there or on Tim's. That's ****ed up. Even Kimbo made Ray tapout

They agreed before the fight that no leg kicks will be thrown. Sylvia threw 1 leg kick, and you can see the "what the ****??" in Mercer's reaction. Couple seconds later, Tim-berrrrrrrr.
Originally posted by I-DropI dont know if the kick was habitual, but I just saw pics of him. He was 310+ pounds, and was clearly out of shape.
😂 Punching power is always the LAST thing to go. You think Tim did the kick on purpose or was it force of habit?
And he just got kicked out Affliction 3.
Idiot, horrible management. Monte Cox is gonna get fired.
Has anyone seen this preview for the Ultimate Fighter 10

It was. TUFinale on right now. J.Stevenson was @his best 2night. Did some really cool takedowns. Still not one of my favorite fighters tho.
I felt like Diaz, I wish he would have actually gone out to fight and not just lean on him for 3 rounds.
