ufc 168 the ultimate ultimate ultimate

[Kris P Lettus]

Silva vs Weidman 2 Middleweight Title

Tate vs Rousey 2 for the Womens Bantomweight title

As Tommy Toehold said, the only way this could get better is if RP got to touch a boob, not hisown .

[weather vane]

Massive card. I hope they fill out the rest with some big money fights as well.

[seapig4]

I want a card as stacked out as UFC 100 was

[Kris P Lettus]

RP showing what a truely misrable virgin he really is

[MoFo]

UFC 164 way better than this...Bendo/Pettis, Mir/Barnett, Mendes/Guida etc

[Next Big Thing]

Can't wait. Silva/Weidman 2 is the most intriguing fight in UFC history b/c of Anderson's performance in the first fight. Did Weidman capitalize on Silva's arrogance or has Father Time finally caught up with Anderson?

[Next Big Thing]

Miesha is hot. I've been a Rousey fan from Day 1 and think she's great for the sport, but I'll be cheering for Miesha on Saturday. Would love to see the underdog get the upset. Plus Ronda would probably have a meltdown.

Great card all around.

[Kris P Lettus]

I am pulling for Meisha bc she is hottttter

plus, if tate wins they will have rubber match and will give the UFC more time to develop more 135 talent

Heard that 2nd pic was just a lookalike. I'd bang the hell out of both with equal pleasure.

I read somewhere that Dana was interested in the women's 115 division next. Looking forward to seeing it.

gonna do another womens tuf

[Krimzon7]

FIrst and foremost. Tecia Torres is a monster. She spent about a year here in atlanta training. I nicknamed her the tiny tornado. she was using the little bitch from hell or something stupid. Glad she's living her dream out.

Secondly, Is TUF ripping Bellator right off with this idea?

[Kris P Lettus]

Nah man

Dana has to build the divisions and tuf is the easiest way to do it

Juliana Pena will be star bc of tuf

so motherfucking pumped for this fight card. i love anderson silva, but i wanna see him lose again, for chael.

get the feeling we're gonna see anderson silva throw a fireball or something.

Diego Brandao missed weight by 8 pounds and Dustin Porier let him know something about it

I ordered it on my PS3 since I'm at my moms and that was my best option. Only SD cause of the wifi but it was only $50.

We'll see how this goes

[Kris P Lettus]

Silva
Rousey
Barnett
Miller
Porier

[Kris P Lettus]

DOOMSDAY

[Kris P Lettus]

woooooo michael johnson

[Kris P Lettus]

:(

leben

[Next Big Thing]

Wow. That's it for Leben. Kind of feeling a Miesha Tate upset. Silva is either going to KO Weidman in epic fashion or get grounded, pounded and submitted.

[Krimzon7]

Holy shit what a great night so far.

[Krimzon7]

Wait did they have that mid prelim presser? Was that for fight pass? Or was it for brock?

[Kris P Lettus]

Browne is fucking legit

I see him ruining Verdum

[Kris P Lettus]

no word on brock vs carwin/fedor yet

ufc fight pass is exciting enough for me

[Krimzon7]

Man...browne will hammer anyone in the heavyweight ddivision. ..EXCEPT VELASQUEZ

[Heisenberg]

barnett got his shit elbowed to fuccccckkk

[Kris P Lettus]

barnett got his shit elbowed to fuccccckkk

Brown did the same thing to Gonzaga

As he said, with his height and speed, he can create a huge amount of force from there

He needs to start throwing those Jon Jones type standing elbow jabs

wouldnt surprise me with winklejohn as his coach

[DaveBrawl]

I thought he was out before the elbows even started.

[RoXer]

That Travis Bronwe fella is very scary man

[Kris P Lettus]

I thought he was out before the elbows even started.

he def got rocked by the knee and went down to his knees but I think he did it out of instinct and was still trying to take him down

knee did the damage, elbows put him out

[Kris P Lettus]

ronda has the best judo i have ever seen in the ufc

way better than karo

[RoXer]

heel heat

[Kris P Lettus]

meisha is cute and all but ronda is a fucking killer

#heelronda

[Kris P Lettus]

"one of the finest fighters on the planet"

[Krimzon7]

Ronda rousey feeds on boos and the tears of babies.
#embracethedarkness

[Kris P Lettus]

meisha is afraid she is gonna get cut

she is a huge baby face star

kat z will do well in that role in the build up to the next title fight

[Krimzon7]

Meisha wont get cut. But shes at the back of the line.

[Kris P Lettus]

is normal

[Kris P Lettus]

man this is gonna be awesome

[Kris P Lettus]

this stupid ps3 feed is horrible and lags like a mofo so I will be back post fight

[Vastardikai]

I feel like Judo should be utilized more in MMA.

Nothing more to really add of substance. Just that.

[Frank Drebin]

What was Silva's entrance music tonight?

[Krimzon7]

Omg

[Innovator]

OW

[Krimzon7]

End of a career right there

[DaveBrawl]

Don't even know what to say to that.

That was sickening

[Innovator]

Think LT and Joe Theismann

[Next Big Thing]

Shocked and saddened by the end of that fight. Silva is still the GOAT though. It's just not his time anymore.

Rousey/Tate was fun to watch. Plus Ronda went full on heel and embraced it. Miesha became an eternal fan fave too.

[Next Big Thing]

Nah. Rousey's A legit Olympian and there isn't anyone in her weight class who can really force her away from it.

Most judokas get their asses kicked or are really marginal.

[Kris P Lettus]

this presser is gonna be really weird

[Kris P Lettus]

Nah. Rousey's A legit Olympian and there isn't anyone in her weight class who can really force her away from it.

Most judokas get their asses kicked or are really marginal. I dunno the technical name for it but the inside hip throw into sidecontrol is mos def under utilized. all you need is double under hooks.

[Next Big Thing]

Poor Weidman still didn't get his legitimizing win in a fight where he came in the underdog. Not sure if there's anything he could say worth hearing, BUT Tate and Rousey should make the presser worth tuning in to.

[Kris P Lettus]

all of it

danas reaction

three dudes i grew up watching could retire

barnett (he wont)
leben (he might)
silva (he might have too)

crazy emotional night of fights for me guys

[Next Big Thing]

I dunno the technical name for it but the inside hip throw into sidecontrol is mos def under utilized. all you need is double under hooks.

But again, Ronda is so much more experienced and probably naturally stronger from her years of practicing it compared to most other women fighters. It's like her use of the arm bar. I think most high level male fighters are strong enough to thwart it and/or experienced enough to avoid it.

I would love to see her fight Sara McMann who I believe has an Olympic wrestling background. She might have a skillet and strength to make Ronda do something different.

[OssMan]

Was rooting for "Rowdy" Ronda Piper... huge heel... jawsome

Leben and Silva should. I feel like guys sleep on Travis Browne and get caught. There are way too many potentially good match ups for Barnett to retire.

I'm definitely down after this and don't really want to hear Dana's hyperbolic promoter spin, whether it's him writing Anderson off or laying the groundwork for some triumphant return.

Uchi Mada.

[Krimzon7]

I became a fan in the era of Anderson Silva. I love the guy. sucks to see him end it like this.

If he were to try to come back he'd be 40-42 before his leg could legit handle taking and receiving a kick. He may as well walk into the octogon with taped ribs.

[Heisenberg]

I'm not a fan of Silva, but I wish him well in recovery. Thanks to DVR, my friend played that break back 5 times, each time was painful as hell.

[Vastardikai]

I just think upper body throws in general are under utilized, and they shouldn't be.

[Kris P Lettus]

im sure there are already like 1000 gifs of it

[Kris P Lettus]

[Krimzon7]

I just think upper body throws in general are under utilized, and they shouldn't be.

well Rousey showed you why. Meisha got off a lot of upper body throws, and Ronda usually ended up in the dominant position. They are high risk and low reward ventures...

Unless you're Ronda Rousey. She's an Olympic caliber Judoka. She's playing chess while the women she's fighting is playing checkers.

[The Mask]

fuck when is this conference starting.

the brazialian woman reporter's questions have gotten a million times better

"will this fight (weidman vs belfort) be fourth of july in vegas" which is exactly when it prolly will be

he was a dick to some random home and gardening reporter asking about their favorite room in the tuf house and about how to decorate yr home gym

his biggest dick move was having a poster ready for 170 with ronda vs sara and meisha is sitting right there

[Fignuts]

Seen the Silva injury in kick boxing matches here and there. Brutal.

I don't keep up with MMA that much anymore, and the fact that more and more of the guys I actually do know are leaving, makes me even less interested. So many different fighters and classes now, it can be daunting to try and get back into it.

Already hard enough for me to keep track of what's going on in the world of soccer, with all their leagues and tourneys.

I'll still probably follow the Light Heavyweight division as it's always been my favorite, and the women's division is great, but with Silva and potentially St. Pierre gone...fuck

[Kris P Lettus]

fighters get old and retire

just watch fights, i dont understand what you mean about it being hard to get back into

[Blitz]

jfc

I really hope Silva can grab one last fight, at least. What an awful end that would be for probably the greatest MMA fighter ever.

[James Steele]

UFC is no different than boxing or pro wrestling. The average viewer watches for specific fighters/personalities moreso than for the sport itself.

[Black Widow]

Miesha/Ronda was pulling for tate but Ronda is a Bad Bitch.

Silva/Weidman wish his 2 wins didn't have question marks (i want Silva to have one last fight)

You're welcome.

[Kris P Lettus]

Zuffa, LLC, owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship®, released the following statement regarding Anderson Silva's injury.

"Following Saturday evening's UFC 168 main event, former champion Anderson Silva was taken to a local Las Vegas hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a broken left leg. The successful surgery, performed by Dr. Steven Sanders, the UFC's orthopedic surgeon, inserted an intramedullary rod into Anderson's left tibia. The broken fibula was stabilized and does not require a separate surgery. Anderson will remain in the hospital for a short while, but no additional surgery is scheduled at this time. Recovery time for such injuries may vary between three and six months.

"Anderson is deeply touched by the outpouring of support from his fans and the entire MMA community. There has been no immediate decision about his future, and he would kindly ask for privacy at this time as he deals with his injury and prepares to return home to recover."

three to six months...that's an awfully kind assesment.

He'll be out of a cast and walking in 6 months but wouldn't be able to train or fight for over a year I'm sure. If we see him again, it will be in 2015 or beyond.

Dana is over it. Otherwise he would just put them on free tv like he did Henderson during his 155 title reign. Or at the very least it wouldn't be their 2nd time main eventing a PPV. He also wouldn't be adding a 115 pound women's division.

[owenbrown]

those fans make me sick

basically the short version:


Silva fans: Chris Weidman beating Silva twice is a fluke and Vitor Belfort is gonna kick his ass. or Machida, or (insert other MW contender here).

Weidman fans: Silva fans are all butthurt that their hero lost.

[owenbrown]

when did Machida change weight classes anyway?

[Kris P Lettus]

He has had one fight where he ko'ed Munoz at 185

[Kris P Lettus]

Here is the deal about Weidman's wins over Silva. The first fight he specifically train to gain distance and to charge in when Silva was dropping his hands. For people to say it was lucky is absolutely ridiculous. It was a technique that Weidman trained because it was a trait that Silva had shown for years. Weidmans team figured out a counter and he executed it perfectly, KO'ing Silva, dethroning him, and taking his title.

No more luck involved than say, Silva fainting push kicks to Belforts midsection then when Belfort dropped his hands, Silva went high and KO'ed him. It was something Silva trained for and executed.

Now onto last night, same deal. Silva tore up Weidman in July with brutal leg kicks so Weidman worked on that hole in his game, used perfect technique, and caught the shin with his knee. It was a picture perfect check and cause a serious injury, ending the fight.

Again, a trained MMA technique was used, cause damage, and ended the fight. Silva didn't break his own leg, Weidman broke it.

I'm sure all those Silva fans were saying the exact same thing after the Patrick Cote fight. (look it up)

No, they count that as a win for Silva just and they should count last night as a win for Weidman. The only difference is, Cote's was a "freak injury" where, kick boxers break their shins all the time.

Well Weidman/Belfort should be interesting. I'd give Vitor a chance in Brazil because he would go trt crazy.

Ronda/Mcmann is a better matchup than Rousey/Zingano. Can't see Rousey losing either one though

[Next Big Thing]

I thin McMann will be a great matchup for Rousey and the first time where she'll be facing an opponent who you could argue matches her athletic background.

Seems like a hella quick turnaround though. After a full training camp seems like she's only getting a couple weeks rest before she has to start grinding again.

[Kris P Lettus]

She got hit a few times but looked fine in the post fight presser.

It is kinda fucked up IMO that they already had the booked with a poster and everything

That is fucking stupid, and I hated it when Rogan mentioned it too.

Also hate that injuries like that get called a TKO rather than a no contest. How is throwing offence resulting in a freak injury "getting knocked out".

I can't agree with that at all. Silva tried to clown Weidman and got caught with a solid punch. Weidman isn't the first guy to try to throw at Silva, he's the first to connect. He didn't train for shit like that because up until that point, he was whiffing like every other Silva opponent.

Yes Weidman checked the leg kick. That's just good fundamental technique that most coaches should tell their fighters to do. Fabre got fucked up off of leg kicks and Diaz would have beat Condit if he checked his. Don't try to tell me he did it with the intent or knowledge that it would break Silvas leg.

Weidman's wins weren't luck, but they damn sure weren't the result of some kind of magical gameplay that predicted those outcomes either.

[Kris P Lettus]

Weidman found distance and KO'ed him. The clowning is something Silva does every fight. I just dont see how KOing a guy is "lucky". Or how checking a leg kick perfectly where it breaks yr opponents leg is "lucky".

Total bullshit

[Krimzon7]

That is fucking stupid, and I hated it when Rogan mentioned it too.

Also hate that injuries like that get called a TKO rather than a no contest. How is throwing offence resulting in a freak injury "getting knocked out".

I can't disagree with you more sir. If a leg kicks can stop a fight, then so can a kick check. Rogan pointed it out before the fight to demonstrate the focus and the commitment to being great that Wideman's camp has. For it to be a prophetic monolouge makes Rogan even more epic.

Dude, there is only one way to make a man stop kicking you: Check that fucking Kick. Bone on Bone hurts both people, If Wideman broke his leg checking that kick how would you respond? and fuck that no contest shit. Nobody wants to win like that but if you can't continue, you lose.


I think people are really really missing the point of this entire fight because of the injury. Anderson Silva was never, AT ANY POINT, in control of that fight. he was getting hammered all night. He was almost finished in the first, and the leg kicks he was throwing was to keep wideman away from him.

[Kris P Lettus]

Weidman talked about it in the presser that checking kicks is supposed to hurt the kicker not jut nullify the leg kick.

He said Longo has broken a guy's leg in the gym using the same technique

[Kris P Lettus]

Essentially, a proper "check" is a knee to the shin. I don't see how this stoppage is any different than a knee so a shooting opponent and breaking his orbital. Same deal IMO.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

I'd say it's closer to knocking a rushing opponent out with a jab that was intended to "keep them at distance". One of those moves that is intended mostly as defence, but of course it can sometimes do damage.

Landing it isn't luck, because he intended for the contact to take place. The fact that it broke his leg was just one of the less likely possible outcomes, so some might call it luck.

[Kris P Lettus]

But that is the misconception. Checks arent meant just keep leg kicks at bay, they are meant to damage the shin of the opponent. It was perfect technique with a devastating outcome. No different than catching someone with a punch and KOing them

[Kris P Lettus]

Have you ever seen Muay Thai kick boxers kicking bamboo?

The are strengthening their shin bones so they won't break as easily

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

I would suggest the #1 objective of checking the kick was to avoid taking damage, which is why I called it "defensive".

Most people are understating the intent behind the technique, and overstating the "luck" of it, so I agree with you there.

[Kris P Lettus]

In fighting, offensive/defensive isn't that cut and dry

The guard is both offensive and defensive

A double wrist lock (not Kimura, WAR Barnett) can be used offensively to make someone tap or defensively to sweep position

Never heard of this knee to check kicks thing, I've done it a few times myself by accident and it has fucking sucked, seems a quick route to arthritis and shattered kneecaps.

The reason you check a kick is to stop that person from kicking you. That person stops kicking you because kicking your kneie or shin hurts the kicker as much as it hurts the kickee.

The first time you have a kick checked, you rethink a lot of things, including gettnig in the ring in the first place. It hurts a lot. in some cases, it breaks your leg.

In every case, you stop kicking. It's amazing ot see a wrestler get so good so quick at checking. Carrot topping(as that form of a check is called) is a more advanced, brutal type of check. actually, it hurts less than the traditional high check.

Muay Thai isn't a pleasant sport. Respect the people that do it for your entertainment.

[Krimzon7]

I'm a south paw, so my right leg is often a very healthy target for people. I used to take a lot of inside leg kicks because of that. I started using that carrot top instead of the 'traditional knee to elbow' check...motherfuckers stopped attacking my leg.

This is the OFFENSIVE part of checking kicks.

The DEFENSIVE part is the lifting of yr leg so it's not planted as it takes the blow. It allows your leg to "roll" with the strike

Jabba's agreeing with you Krispy. There's a slight nuance in his type than yours, but essentially it is the same.

[Kris P Lettus]

i know

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

I just compared it to the distance-keeping jab because, while it is definitely an offensive move, I believe the defensive aspect of it is more prominent. The offensive potency of the defensive moves is what makes them a deterrent.

Nobody wants a sore shin, or a punch in the face, and you're doing it in an attempt to stop them attacking in a certain way.

The reason you check a kick is to stop that person from kicking you.
Yes, this is why I'd put it on the defensive side of the scale.

The Werdum fight will be for the next title shot (when Velaquez comes back from his shoulder surgery) and I kinda see him running through Werdum.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Honestly, Weidman knows how to make Silva uncomfortable, put the pressure on and beat him to the punch. It was evident from the first round of the first fight. Silva has very good takedown d for a guy who's not a wrestler... in the first roudn of this fight he really did well in beginning fending off Weidman, he only ended up on the ground because he got drilled. The problem is, he has to worry about defending the take down and constant pressure and can't find his striking rhythm. Chris throws him off his game and has his number, it couldn't be anymore clear.

Dana was even saying, Silva actually cracked his shin on the first check, and then threw another leg kick and broke his leg. Those checks were designed to hurt, and this fight, much like the first, was no fluke.

I have thought this before like Chuck getting KO'ed, or Royce getting choked by Hughes, but this is never the case. Now when I think of Chuck, I think of him as a dominant champ and the face of the UFC from 2005-2008. Gracie, I think of UFC 1, 2, and even 3 (his fight with Kimo).

I def see what you are saying though.

Plus anyone who tries to knock the career of someone who has dominated combat sports for as long as Anderson did because he finally lost to someone 10 years younger has a personal grudge or is a moron.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Surely every dominant champion should keep going until he declines and somebody comes along that he can't beat. Passing the torch and all that. There's no shame in losing after dominating for that long.

[James Steele]

Yes, there is. His wife should disown him and his children kill him and feed his remains to the stray cats in the streets. Dana White should disavow his name and act as if he never existed in UFC or MMA in general. He has brought an eternal shame to his family and spirit animal. May Anderson Silva forever weep and die a thousand deaths through drowning in his tears of failure.
