dunno if I will be going to the bar tonight for this one, so I might have to watch the matches here.

did you guys ever set up that group on here?


I am going with Couture for this one. I saw Nog had 11 pounds on him though

Looking forward to this, though will have to discuss it with you guys after the show, as I've got mates coming round to watch it (So I won't be on the comp).

good to see couture not looking like a starving ethiopian this fight

I wish Spike would air UFC stuff today. It's another Rocky marathon

they had the countdown on earlier.

also, i hope vera gets his ass kicked. i hate him so much.

Wish I was still in Portland for this...

What's a good website to watch it?

yea, I saw that. it was at like 2pm here and was only an hour. they should be doing UFC all day

any streams? or should i just stick to justin.tv

Everyone getting shut down...

ROFL Marquardt just destroyed Damian Maia's life.

ROFL. Like 20 seconds.


Maia throws a kick and as he did Marquardt crushed him with a punch and Maia was decleated.

order the PPV you cheap peice of craps.

Its pretty good so far. The Vera fight was like any other Vera fight where he does just enough to win, but still bore the hell out of you.

And Marquardt probably just got the knockout of the year lol.

lol :'( fucking card. they're all dying early on or having borefests.

Duffee is my new favorite Heavyweight besides Brock LOL

Pretty much everything is a knockout right now. Its awesome. Jardine got knocked out by Thiago. Damian Maia is still dead i think.

I literally though Leben was dying in the ring after he got choked out. He tapped but the ref wasnt paying attention and Leben went unconcious and started twitching and shit. It was scary.

Rogan made a techno Viking joke when Jardine came out. lol

If Nog wins, I shall be very happy.

i wish whoever lets people into that stream group would let me in

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT WHAT A 1ST ROUND!!!

THEY"RE THROWING!!!

Holy shit Randy got out of a choke hold that was sick


They stood and threw punches for a good 2 minutes of the round.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

That was a fucking amazing first round!

I want Nog to win, but I give Randy all the credit in the world for getting out of that choke.

Randy has escaped submission death twice


WHat a fight!

Randy busted his ass in that fight, and by some miracle survived, but Nog is the fucking man.

I don't see Nog winning, but I want Nog and Lesnar, now!

Nog looked like one of the best fighters in the world tonight

If he keeps fighting like that, he MIGHT have a chance against Lesnar.

Can't wait to see Nog vs Lesnar.

His striking was outstanding and he submits 98% of the other fighters in the world with those submissions. Randy was very very crafty getting out of those 2 chokes. Lesnar would be submitted.


Nog has height for Lesnar. He also has an really good striking and Lesnar does not want to be in Nog's incredible guard.

I think Nog would win that fight tbh.

Wow, that was a really good fight. Couture and Nog both left it all in the cage. I was really impressed by Randy's textbook escapes from the D'arce Choke and the Arm Triangle. Simple stuff, yea, but impressive as shit nevertheless considering who he's fighting.

I really thought Randy was going to be able to pin Nog against the cage more though. :-\

Nog was at the top of his game in everything tonight. If this Nog faced Mir and not the Nog with staff, we wouldnt even be talking about this fight.

who won?

damian maia

Maia finally got the reality check he needed: that it isn't 1993 anymore and you can't be Royce Gracie and rely only on jiujitsu.

nog or couture?

Nog. Decision.

WHAT A FIGHT

best ppv i've bought. Definetly made up for those weak ass Anderson Silva headliners.

yeah it was a really good card, although when everyone started getting knocked out double quick i was starting to wonder.

Good show.

Nog/Couture was incredible. The boxing was great and that was awesome when Randy got out of that choke. Both guys went right at it.

Brandon Vera fights always bore me and this was no different. the crowd booed a bunch of times during this crap

lol Jardine. hate that guy. Glad Thiago knocked him out.

And wow at Marquardt. fucking superman punched Maia's head off

Great show all in all
