Now that is a goddamn poster. Although his first two title fights were against a brazilian....and theyre doing an american vs a brazilian in brazil for TUF...but hey, 'MURICA!!!!

[Kris P Lettus]

Weidman is hurt and has to pull out of this fight

FUCK

Were you asking about Cung Le because you want him to fight Machida?

[Kris P Lettus]

Let Machida fight Souza

[Jura]

No, it's just been a while since he last fought and I didn't think he was injured so that's why I asked.

[Kris P Lettus]

Oh

I noticed this pic after you asked and assumed.

He was taking time off after the Franklin fight and then TUF China came around. I think they are using the fact that he is Asian (Vietnamese) and his movie star power to help open the doors for UFC in China. I remember reading somewhere he is like an acting ambassador for the UFC in Asia.

didnt see that one coming

[Kris P Lettus]

I didn't watch the fights because of work but it seemed like a legit card.

Happy for Dillashaw and Alphamale. Good way to see Bang leave.

[Impact!]

This was a really good card. Sucks about Varner, but damn he's tough as nails. Cormier was crazy dominant, but it's kind of hard to tell where he actually stands, as Hendo has clearly slowed down in the past year. Ruthless had Ellenburger running after those first two kicks, awesome performance. Also utterly amazing performance from TJ Dillashaw, still kind of can't believe it.

[Reavant]

and anyone saying hendo has "slowed down"... he is a middleweight, fighting a HEAVYWEIGHT. He needs to fight people his size. He weighed 196 for christs sake

[Impact!]

It's not like he's looked amazing for his past few fights. He has clearly slowed down...though I do agree with you that he should be fighting middleweight...

[Kris P Lettus]

No more trt

[Reavant]

its not even the trt. His last fights were machida, Robo-vitor and cormier.

Only jones looked good against machida, vitor turned into a roid monster, and cormier who is 10x the wrestler dan is, was also probably 30-40 lbs heavier than dan at fight time

[Kris P Lettus]

He was super gassed in the shogun fight
