Main Card (Live on FOX, 8:00 PM ET) Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Brandon "The Truth" Vera Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida vs. Ryan "Darth/Master" Bader Joe Lauzon vs. Jamie Varner Mike Swick vs. DaMarques Johnson Preliminary Card (Liveon Fuel TV, 5:00 PM ET) Cole Miller vs. Nam Phan Phil Davis vs. Wagner Prado Josh Grispi vs. Rani Yahya Phil De Fries vs. Oli Thompson Manny Gamburyan vs. Michihiro Omigawa Ulysses Gomez vs. John Moraga Those are are my picks. Machida is still my favorite :grin:. Let's discuss.
Shifting from the Olympics and MMA, boy do I miss MMA/ screw the Olympics, these are real athletes right here...
yea it looks like it huh he isnt the same, a prime Shogun would have pulled that sub in a heartbeart And he is gassing a lot more in the UFC
Machida was well...Machida. I, like everyone here, is impressed with his performance. It was funny for a bit when Varner forgot his mouthpiece after he was punced by Lauzon. That's how intense that fight was. I take my hat off also to Vera. Although not enough, he brought the fight tonight. These matchups were better than the previous UFC maincard fights. We all got a show!
I was wondering if Vera finally found "it" or if Shogun just wasn't in the best shape, making it an even fight. Great back and forth, reminded me of Bonnar-Griffin
Just paid attention to the names and oh my god: Ryan "Darth/Master" Bader This is the best two-punch alias ever.
Machida's KO was like it came from a Bruce Lee or Sonny Chiba movie without the extreme graphic violent stuff :grin:
Machida the Karate master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna see Machida fight Cung Le, yeah I know Le is old now but I don't give a ****, it's gonna be like a karate movie, HIYYYAEEAH!!!! Karate chop!!!!!!
