Welcome to the MMA thread. Glad you found us.

Why do we have only one thread to post under? why not make sections like other sports forums do? It would be better than having to go through multiple replies instead of making one thread for a particular subject.

Anyways, Anderson Silva has admitted no current "Brazilian" can beat Johny Bones. Wow, so looks like Silva has admitted he can't beat Jones.

"Jon Jones is having a good phase, he's improving a lot. He's getting more and more experienced, he's very young, but he's getting more experienced," Silva told Portal TV.

"He's making his opponents fall into his game. He knows how to use his size very well. There's not much to say about Jon Jones.

"I don't see any Brazilian in conditions to face him, even more so because Brazilians don't tend to completely study what happens in there, there needs to be more studying done by the Brazilians in that division so that they can understand what really is going on in there.

"But it's hard for me to say this, because I'm Brazilian and I wish there was a Brazilian with the conditions to beat Jon Jones, but, this is a personal opinion of mine, I don't see anyone in Brazil that can beat him, at least not for now."

i think it's for simplicity, as it's a SHAVE/GENTLEMAN'S forum. like you already said, there are SPORTS FORUMS for that.

i like 1 thread, as it sees action before/after the events and is easy to find and search.

Another exciting prelim card that nobody saw followed up by a terribly boring main card on Fox.

Maia looked awful. Sonnen looked awful. Evans was dominant but he sure looked rusty.

[brucered]

just watching the prelims now...that "knee lock" by Olivera was INCREDIBLE. one of the best finishes i've seen in a while. it's up there with that body wrench a few month ago by the "korean zombie"

[AFCBradyfan12]

Anyone saw UFC on Fox last night? I gotta say, the main card put me to sleep. Rashad Evans was painful to watch, not as irritating to watch as Davis' huge deformed muscles. Jesus, they looked like they had implants inside of them.

[SmoovD]

I caught the replay online....not very compelling entertainment. Way too much time alloted for 3 fights. There is no way that I would have wanted to watch that show live.

[Neognosis]

I recorded it and watched it yesterday.. that is, until my DVR stopped recording in the middle of the Evans/Davis fight...

[HBK42581]

Aside from the Sonnen/Bisping fight, the other two were pretty sloppy and in no way represent the best of what the UFC has to offer. That's two lackluster FOX events in a row. Hopefully, the third times a charm.

Condit/Diaz will be an early favorite for fight of the year, guaranteed. The rest of the card for this weekend isn't too shabby either. Werdum/Nelson should be an interesting fight. Nelson has a stand up and wrestling edge and I think they push in the grappling. Nelson is a very accomplished jiu jitsu practitioner so I don't think he will get subbed by Werdum. Koscheck and Pierce should be a barn burner, too.

[ouch]

Listening to Sonnen makes me want to hear Bisping speak.

I feel honoured to even be able to listen to Chael

[HBK42581]

Chael is awesome. It'd be one thing if he said all of this and didn't back any of it up.

We're not even worthy to watch the guy.

kinds hoaky, but hey...it adds some humor to it. i don't mind it. guys a goof, but he's a better interview then Chet Kongo or Jake Shields. you might as well interview a bag of hammers, you'd get more life out them then those 2 guys.

[rockviper]

Sound familiar ???

[brucered]

Sound familiar ???

Dusty Rhodes, Rick Flair (greatest of all time), Randy Savage, Steven Austin, The Rock, Roddy Pipper...they all had great interview skills. and look at what it did for their careers and notoriety

Ahhh, those were the days....Classic Wrestling...NWA, UWF, AWA...doesn't get any better.

I see your Superstar Billy Grahmam (awesome by the way) and raise you one "Four Foresmen"

[ouch]

I'd have to add the late Ravishing Rick Rude to that list.

Diaz (hoping for Condit)
Werdum (hoping for Nelson)
Koscheck
Barao
Starks

After that not really that interested..... UFC primetime (http://www.ufc.com/media/143-PRIMETIME-EPISODE1) is very good and the interviews with Nick Diaz and his trainers are more fascinating to me than the usual

just went to watch the prelims, my PVR didtn't record properly

[Sullybob]

I enjoyed the Prime time episodes leading up to this fight. I thought that it showed a positive side of Nick and helped to explain why he acts that way that he does.

Diaz rage quitting doesn't help his image at all.
