is it me or is ufc heavily advertising this more than usual for boring ppv's?

edit:
with 20/20 hindsight, do you think GSP made the right move to retire as Welterweight champ?

 

[smackababy]

GSP didn't retire, but left on hiatus. I believe he cited doping as one of the main reasons. Also, if they don't hype these ppvs, nobody will watch them.

And for what it's worth, having lesser names on a card doesn't mean it will be a bad card. The big names of late haven't been performing up to their pay.

This is a typical fight night card, not ppv worthy. If Lawler fights like he did in the condit fight, woodley will run him over in the first round.

Rose looks like that little spatan kid from 300.

I don't expect many to be watching this one, hell I even forgot about the Holm freebie last week. Every card has a chance to be awesome though.

What was wrong with how Lawler fought Condit? It definitely wasn't his most effective fight, but he wasn't hurt as bad as he was against McDonald and others either. Condit is a great fighter - combos, kicks, knees, great movement, and strong ground game. To his detriment, he doesn't have natural knockout power, but he is a very intelligent fighter and extremely difficult to time. That shouldn't take anything away from Lawler, who [apparently :\] did enough to win.

I think Robbie is due for a loss, and Woodley seems just like the kind of guy that might deliver it...

 

[Demoralized]

Woodley wins by KO if and only if a bus drives in the octagon and hits Ruthless. No other paths to victory for Woodley.

I'm with this.

 

[smackababy]

This Ukrainian dude looks really good. At 24 years old, this guy may be good later.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I have a great stream going, love my Kodi. Its probably good because the fight isn't in Vegas.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Split decision in the Rose fight? Give me a fucking break, she lost, one judge was on crack.

 

[UncleWai]

It would have been a good fight only if rose and karolina were fighting naked and eating each other out. They need to get rid of wmma in a ufc card.

 

[JEDI]

wow.. Woodley is barely a underdog according to odds makers

 

[smackababy]

And it's over. Woodley did exactly what people expected.

 

[smackababy]

Yeah. I guess hype counts for points? She won the first round and that's it.

 

[smackababy]

All that silliness about McGregor going up to fight Lawler just got shut up quick. He wants none of that speed and power.

 

[UncleWai]

Called it.

 

[JEDI]

Just...like..that!

new champ!
congrats woodley

 

[JEDI]

I have a great stream going

yeah.. 1080p HD!
smooth, no choppiness

I, indeed, stand corrected.

 

[smackababy]

I, indeed, stand corrected.

A bus did come through and hit Lawler. That bus was a perfeclt (lucky, but nobody will admit that) right hand.



This card wasn't terrible. It wasn't the best, but having such low expectations ended up not disappointing.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Yeah. I guess hype counts for points? She won the first round and that's it.

I didn't even give her the first round, but it was close enough that it could have gone her way in some peoples eyes.

 

[smackababy]

I didn't even give her the first round, but it was close enough that it could have gone her way in some peoples eyes.

I think she was more busy, and since it was pretty close, I edged her for it. The other two, she is lucky to get a 9.

 

[Miramonti]

Darn, missed it. What an unbelievable division.

Next up, has to be Thompson vs. Woodley.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I think she was more busy, and since it was pretty close, I edged her for it. The other two, she is lucky to get a 9.

I thought whats her face landed more shots over all, but the right person still won, which is fine, but it should have been unanimous.
