All I gotta say is at least we got to see a title fight end in a KO (as it should be) :banana:

It's hard for me to pick a favorite between Shogun and Machida, but Shogun sure did earn his new title!!! Best knock out I've seen in the UFC in a long time. (But still have mad respect for Machida)


Kimbo's fight was like watching 2 amateurs with the combined IQ of 50 battling it out after a few cases of beer. Not only was it sloppy but neither of them could put up a decent fight against anyone else in their weight class. Kudos to Dana White for actually cutting Kimbo this time after countless pathetic performances.

And the Oscar for best actor goes to .... Josh Koscheck!!! Obviously it was Daley's intent to knee Koscheck when he was down, but for Koscheck to ham it up the way he did when no contact was even made... Freakin WOW He should be entertaining to watch on next seasons Ultimate Fighter noway

And for Daley's post fight antics... say bye bye to your UFC contract... smooth move! slaphead

OH and thank you to Joe Rogan for the best comment of the night "Someone should show Koscheck that replay so he can get up and get back to the fight" rofl

Woah where do you get off talking about Mitrone ? He is a top heavyweight prospect. His wrestling is probably his weakest skill "which will cause huge problems if he fights Cain, Lesner, or carwin" but his striking is solid working with Pat Berry and his ground game is decent and the biggest thing he has going for him that most large heavyweights don't is he has stamina. Fights aren't about who looks pretty its about who lands their shots. As for Kimbo he is an aged street fighter and his body has taken a beating thru his life "He use to live out of his car for christ sakes". He has come a long way and looks good now as a complete fighter but he is starting this game way to old to be running with the top heavyweights now. But either way he deserves respect.
Josh Koscheck is a clown and a blanket. Skilled yes but do I really want to see one guy just hold another one down for 15 minutes ? Not really. Can't really comment on Paul Daley except seeing him throw a cheap shot "which only hit Josh's hand" after the match made me laugh. He must have been frusterated getting laid on for 15 minutes.
I wasn't impressed with Shogun or Machida I don't know what Machidas deal is but he fights way more stationary now then he use to moving targets are much harder to hit. Shogun should never given up those takedowns, if he doesn't change that he won't be holding his belt for long. Too many solid wrestlers on their way to a title shot at LHW.

Um, did you WATCH the fight? I can't wait to see his next fight... When he fights someone with anymore skill than Kimbo (which is EVERYONE) hes gonna get his a$$ handed to him. AND he needs to take his training a little more seriously and cut back on the cheeseburgers.

His wrestling is probably his weakest skill "which will cause huge problems if he fights Cain, Lesner, or carwin"


So then explain how he's a top contender.... anyone of those guys would have him tapping out in the first round (as much as I dislike Lesnar he would kill this guy in his face in 2.5 seconds)



but his striking is solid working with Pat Berry and his ground game is decent and the biggest thing he has going for him that most large heavyweights don't is he has stamina. Fights aren't about who looks pretty its about who lands their shots.

Got that, just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean I don't understand how it works. Stamina is good, yes but hes just not QUICK enough to be a top contender as you suggest.


As for Kimbo he is an aged street fighter and his body has taken a beating thru his life "He use to live out of his car for christ sakes". He has come a long way and looks good now as a complete fighter but he is starting this game way to old to be running with the top heavyweights now. But either way he deserves respect.

Yes he totally rocked as a street fighter, and no offence to the guy but it seems like MMA is too much for his brain to process. Every time he gets in a jam is freezes up and can't seem to figure out what his next move is. MMA is NOT for him.


I wasn't impressed with Shogun or Machida I don't know what Machidas deal is but he fights way more stationary now then he use to moving targets are much harder to hit. Shogun should never given up those takedowns, if he doesn't change that he won't be holding his belt for long. Too many solid wrestlers on their way to a title shot at LHW.


I don't even know how to continue responding someone who thinks Kimbo and Mitrone deserve respect but Shogun and Machida don't...

I never said Shogun and Machida don't deserve respect - im just not impressed - I have seen better from both of them.
Kimbo is a novelty, a great guy, and a fighter at heart. His body just isn't cut out for MMA. Stop hacking on the guy.
Mitrone is a top prospect not top contender yet, with the right training he might be a top contender. By the way I'd say Mitrone would have a good shot at beating Kongo, Mir, Noguerra, or Nelson.

Kimbo isn't cut out for MMA, I never said he was a horrible person. It's not a personality contest, just facts.

Not sure why you think so highly of Mitrone, but I do NOT see what you see in him. I saw slow and sloppy. Guess we will have to see how he does in his next fight.

Shogun knocked Machida the fawk out, what more do you want? I suppose you prefer Silva's capo era displays in the cage as opposed to actual fighting?

The lady knows her MMA, gjcraig however should probably give up sniffing glue before he posts. I agree Mitrone has some possibilities and seems to be improving but:

" By the way I'd say Mitrone would have a good shot at beating Kongo, Mir, Noguerra, or Nelson. "

That's just insane Mitrone would get owned by any of those guys. Dos Santos, Karlos Vemola and Todd Duffee are prospects. Mitrone is a prelim fighter who has only beaten 2 TUF competitors and remember he quit like a dog when he was on TUF.


Kos is a punk with a glass jaw, he beat Daley because of his superior wrestling skills now he's going against GSP who already out wrestled him and would kill him at standup.

You don't agree? I'm not a huge GSP fan but I have respect for his technical skill and the way he packs all that muscle into 170lbs?!? I just dont see Kosckeck beating him... at all.

On top of GSP's wrestling skill he's also freakishly strong for 170lbs. I think he will man handle Koscheck for sure.

I didn't even address his comments about beating "Kongo, Mir, Noguerra or Nelson" because it's just ridiculous. Um Hi Mir and Nogueira were UFC CHAMPIONS and really who even cares about Nelson anyway LOL. Yes, he won TUF but we will see how he does against some real competition (aka not amateur hour)

Re: Nelson. What is it about that guy, He has talent and a good record, but I still can't stand him. I think maybe it's his crap personality plus his appearance that make me want to see him get his butt handed to him everytime I see him step into the cage. LOL

actually I was AGREEING with you. but GSP bettering not take him too lightly, anybody with that much speed, talking about Koscheck, is dangerous.
