Yikes

 

Gaaaaaaaaaaah Silva Deja vu. Sounds like a fucking ruler coming down on a desk.

That’s the stuff nightmares are made of.

 

not a good weekend for main events

 

So instead of responding to Max Holloway’s post, Ferguson tweeted alluding to taking out Jon Jones at 205. In case you think it was sarcasm, he ended it with “Say I Won’t.”

Sounds like Daley’s up on MVP through three.

 

I hope tomorrow’s UFC card is bonkers because these two Bellator cards have been rough.

 

Scored a handful of decent takedowns, and had one decent flurry while he had him pinned. Semtex literally did not throw a single strike the first round. MVP also took his time, but still was kicking him and keeping the distance. Every 3 minutes or so in fight, if it wasn’t on the ground, MVP would land something small.

All in all, a huge snooze fest grappling match between two strikers who were really afraid to lose to each other because of all the trash talk.

 

Thank god Elimination Chamber is so shitty I can watch the card

 

Also I can't believe Cain actually survived training and is fighting, so exciting. I was preparing myself for him to have to back out.

 

As of now, unless I see both men physically standing in the cage with Bruce doing announcements, I refuse to believe any fight is a guarantee after Whittaker dropped out morning of. That push notification I woke up to crushed my soul.

 

MVP vs. Daley was pretty underwhelming

 

I don't ever mind a grappling fight, when the guys are good at grappling. Neither guy took any serious damage nor could they advance their positions.

Askren kills me

 

I was looking forward to seeing Jessica back in there. Hope this doesn't cause her to be cut but 3 losses in a row, a usada violation, missing weight and now this seems like it would warrant something like that unfortunately.

 

Cro Cop made this post on facebook (and reddit translated it)

"Thanks for the messages you sent me before and after the fight, from my heart thank you. You saw the fight and I won't commentate too much. Nelson is a hard and tough opponent for everybody.

After the fight he made an unnecessary circus, but it is what it is. He complained about anything and everything. He even told the commission that my legs were greased?! So the representatives of the Athletic commission came into my dressing room and checked me?! Even though from me getting into the arena, all until the end of the fight I had a representative follow me around, even to the toilet, non stop and I was checked before the fight.

They though smiled and one of them even told me that Nelson simply is like that, constantly some kind of circus with him; "At one show he is saying that we are the best in the world and at another we are the worst trash". After that Nelson started threatening around and he even said that he will bring a gun with him. I don't know to whom he said that, but the police came and searched through his room. There is no fucking around with the police here.

After all that he actually sent me a message congratulating me and asking for a rematch. My answer was: "Why not?", but that isn't dependent on me... I'm not sure about his status in Bellator after all that.

And one more thing. In the match happened the most bizarre thing in my career. In one of the clinches as I was holding him on the fence the guy bites my finger!! The bite was over the mouth piece which, of course, took away from the strength of the bite, but that somebody can think of that I didn't know before last night. Greetings!!"

 

What the fuck Roy.

 

I wonder if Cain wins if Cain/Brock rematch is even a consideration

 

UGH wish DC was commentating come on

 

Quite possibly cornering Cain?

 

Yeah thought about that right after I posted

 

They should totally just mic him up anyway!

 

time for a knock out

 

I know! My one friend was like, they don't want him to commentate because he will play favorite, i was like THAT SOUNDS AMAZING

 

or do I have to wait for the main event

 

wow
