Looks like Nate Diaz is going to be on another Fox network card. Guess the bird didn't anger Fox that much and since the UFC on Fox 6 ratings were higher than the UFC on Fox 5 ratings, I guess it didn't hurt viewership either.

Next Big Thing 02-07-2013 03:21 PM

I'm excited for this card. Should be a great night of fights.

MoFo 03-25-2013 01:25 PM

Cesar Gracie gonna be crying into his cornflakes the morning after this.

Bendo to kick Gil's ass, and Thomson over Diaz, COME AT ME BRO.

Dan Hardy has a heart defect and is off this card btw. Replaced by Jordan Mein who destroyed Dan Miller.

Next Big Thing 03-25-2013 02:10 PM

Jordan Mein is an upgrade from Hardy.

I'm hoping for Melendez and Diaz to run train.

Kris P Lettus 03-30-2013 01:54 PM

i love melendez but i dont see anyone at 155 just wrecking Bendo

not saying gil cant win bu henderson is on his own level atm

Jordan 03-31-2013 11:27 AM

I'm going to say Melendez takes this fight.

Does Gil have a shot ? IMO Bendo is a terrible matchup for him, everything Gil does, Bendo does better.

Kris P Lettus 04-14-2013 12:34 AM

I love Gil but I have to agree..

Bendo is on another level right now

he is def an awesome addition to the already stacked 155 division

R U from Cali ? Or just a Team Ceaser Gracie fan ?

Kris P Lettus 04-14-2013 12:52 AM

been a nick fan since back in the day and a nate fan since TUF (bc of Nick)

worked on a movie with Gil and he freaked out cause i was wearing a dethrone shirt and he asked to take a pic with me and he tweeted it

lol

he was awesome and i immediately became a fan of his

h8 jake shields though

Road Warrior 04-14-2013 01:01 AM

Thats cool. I have the same thing with Sean Sherk and guys from Greg Nelson's team in Minnesota. Mostly because I trained there for a while and all those guys were really cool. That's why I have respect for all fighters and people who train. Even though a lot of people hate the Diaz brothers for their "attitude" I know somewhat what those guys have to go through to be a fighter and once you know that you can't help but have respect for them.

Kris P Lettus 04-14-2013 01:04 AM

i like them cause they dont give a fuck

That was a great fight, if you've never seen it, you should watch the series of fights Nick had with Jeremy Jackson.

Kris P Lettus 04-14-2013 01:09 AM

yeah i have seen them now, but i just remember that being the fight that made me a fan of his

personally i like the paul daly fight

Road Warrior 04-14-2013 01:12 AM

Yeah, the Daly fight was great. Nick Diaz or for that matter Nate Diaz doesn't put on bad fights. Always like Nate's fight against Alvin Robison where he triangle's Robinson and flexes to the camera before Alvin submits.

Kris P Lettus 04-14-2013 01:15 AM

yeah

that was him becoming a man in front of our eyes

Road Warrior 04-14-2013 01:17 AM

What's the problem you have with Shields ? He really didn't have a bad or boring fight till he got to the UFC. His dad passed away also, so I kinda give him a pass.

Next Big Thing 04-14-2013 08:36 AM

Nate Diaz fighting on 4/20. Wonder what he'll be smoking after his fight?

I was sitting in the 2nd row for the fight after his dad's passing at UFN 25 when Ellenberger KO'ed him in a minute and a half..

Benson has come a long way from his time as a corner boy and class clown.

UFC on Fox 7 picks

Benson Henderson v. Gilbert Melendez

Daniel Cormier v. Frank Mir

Josh Thomson v. Nate Diaz

Jordan Mein v. Matt Brown

Chad Mendes v. Daren Elkins

Ramsey Nijem v. Myles Jury

Jorge Masvidal v. Tim Means

Frances Carmont v. Lorenz Larkin

Joseph Benevidez v. Darren Uyenoyama

Hugo Viana v. TJ Dillashaw

Anthony Njokuani v. Roger Bowling

Clifford Starks v. Yoel Romero Palacio

MoFo 04-20-2013 05:43 AM

Same picks apart from Larkin over Carmont, and unsure if Jordan Mein is THE REAL DEAL yet. Dan Miller is only a jobber @ 170 so destroying him was impressive but not omgnextbigthing stuff IMO.

If Darren Elkins wins, he is statistically the greatest featherweight in UFC history btw :lol:

Kris P Lettus 04-20-2013 08:09 AM

Carmont is a monster

Next Big Thing 04-20-2013 08:39 AM

I could see those three big fights go either way. The way Cormier has been anointed as the "next big thing" (hell yeah I just went there) makes me think Mir will end up KOing him, although I hope not b/c Cormier presents a marquee matchup for the champ at HW or LHW.

Henderson isn't a finisher and I think Gilbert is a more disciplined fighter than Nate to the point where he can make the fight close like Frankie did on the scorecards. Maybe even land enough takedowns to steal some rounds.

Kris P Lettus 04-20-2013 08:54 AM

I think Cormier wins pretty easily..

Sure, Mir has experience over him but dude is a beast and he did the same thing to Bigfoot that Cain did..

I think dude is ready for the spotlight..

Kris P Lettus 04-20-2013 08:56 AM

for those unfamiliar with cormier
