Yep and Rampage too....so much for his tv show.
 
I haven't seen Rampages TV show, but I saw a trailer where he meets up with Warren G. The two bars Rampage offered were enough for me to not tune in. I like Warren G, but Rampage can't rap.
 
I watched a little if it last night and this one scene where he was talking with some buddy of his...they had to use subtitles at the bottom if the screen because the more they talked the more their speech degenerated into some down home,backwoods/ghetto dialect.It put me to sleep.
 
a little disappointed in munoz

he didn't engage at all and stayed on the outside. was eating kicks to the body and not answering back and that setup the head kick. I expected Machida to win but I expected a better fight from munoz. it was awesome to see Machida hold back more blows as he knew the fight was done.

middleweight just got a lot more interesting
 
After I saw the body kicks, I knew the head kick was coming. Great KO.
Vitor, Mousasi, Weidman, and Silva are all good fights. I think that he runs through the rest of the division though.
Mousasi already called him out. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/10/...t-middleweight-against-lyoto-machida-mma-news
I didn't really agree with the Guillard vs Pearson outcome. I thought that Melvin should have got the win. I will be surprised if Melvin can duplicate that performance in the rematch.
 
I'm on the fence with the guillard knees. i think the issue is with the rules, not what Melvin or pearson did. won't be the last time there's controversy because of the no knees/kicks to the head of a downed opponent. I agree with the rule, but the definition of a downed opponent need to change. I say if at least one of the fighter's knee is down, that's a downed opponent. one hand touching the ground should not be considered a downed opponent.

do you guys ever watch the post fight shows?

I record every post fight show, I love watching it to get the fighter perspectives. i'm not a huge fan of Dominique cruz as a fighter, but his analysis is top notch. I love his breakdowns of techniques and fights and what not after the event. he's may favorite analyst on the show. the other guys like cormier, sonnen and Kenny florian are good too but dom's my fav

I totally agree.

Drysdale, is out of his fight. He tested at 3x the legal limit for his test/epitest ratio. Most guys take a couple of losses before they apply for TRT, but he's jumping right in. He might get the boot without even having a fight.

Anybody catch Alvarez-Chandler 2?
 
I felt that chandler edged it but it was close

from what I read what other people said, in eddie's new contract, had he lost to chandler he would've been out of his contract and free to go fight anywhere. but since he won, he must take a rubber match with chandler and then he is free from his contract win or lose. he wants to win so that he can have more leverage when negotiating the cheddar with the ufc, because we know that's where he's headed.

it was interesting what concluded last night. the 3 main faces of bellator all lost. king mo, chandler and curran. not sure if this will hurt bellator
