Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Per popular demand, UFC now has its own news and discussion thread for those who don't want to sift through information on foreign and smaller companies. A few tidbits to start us off: -Gray Maynard is tired of beating people he's expected to beat, and has called out the winner of the Florian/Gomi fight on the 31st. -Frank "Nutso" Mir claims that Shane Carwin is a more dangerous opponent than Brock Lesnar...but says he'll beat Carwin. -Charles Oliviera is the newest UFC signing Plus we're still not sure what's up with Randy, Chuck, Tito and Rich.

Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It's looking less and less likely that GSP will try out for 2012 Olympic wrestling. The UFC fan in me is happy but the Canadian in me is sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UFC fan in me is happy but the Canadian in me is sad. GSP's wrestling is very much tailored for MMA though, it sounds weird, but I think the guy may struggle in olympic competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think he'd be able to adapt given enough training. Which is why he'd have to start right after the Hardy fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Pfft. Back at UFC 100, I was only exciting more for Lesnar and GSP than for Bones. Plus Vera's bland as fuck. Should be a fun night though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Kiniski Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Doesn't the 10 second delay apply to cable/satellite as well, or is that just basic television? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Kind of a poor way to start, although I do think it was a fair stoppage. It seemed like Alessio was getting the better of the striking, then he landed that punch right to the eye of Irvin. Since it wasn't a poke, there was no reason for the referee to stop the action except to protect Irvin from eating punches on the ground.

Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I wouldn't say that. Most of the winners I expected (Irvin/Sakara was a fluke), and the fights were exciting enough. No barnburners, but that's to be expected with the evolution of fighters to the point where the most boring fighter picks the pace in every fight.
