the velasquez vs. o'brien fight just finished here. looks like we may have seen the first win of a possible contender at HW when we were in montreal. cain had another dominating win here. no question about a quick stoppage either.
the ending to the johnson vs. burns match was terrible. they gave a tko win to burns?!?! i was surprised at how well anthony johnson handled that. i don't know what i would have called it, but a tko for burns certainly would have been the last thing i expected after the break. he was warned repeatedly about the fingers in the eye and kept doing it...strange...he says he can't throw a closed jab? then why extend it as far as your opponent's face over and over if all you're doing is pawing with it? anyway, tough break for anthony. i thought he was winning the fight.
My light is back on! And I decided to screw the delay and watch the earlier fights on the card afterwards. So I'm watching the live feed .... Hermes France vs. Frankie Edgar just starting. Should be a great one!
sweet! i thought hermes had that armbar in the first!!!!, but otherwise, pretty much what i expected so far. hoping hermes can gradually start to get the better of the match...
Edgar is pretty much dominating the second round with the takedown and some ground and pound. I didn't want to tell you before the fight, but I picked Edgar on this one <ducks head>

Wow, I really missed talking with you guys!
looks like you made the right call, releash!
man, hermes had my heart racing with the armbar attempt in the third. if edgar had rolled the other way, he would have had it...and then the punches and the big knee at the end. tremendous fight by frankie edgar!

Good win for Edgar. Not the most exciting fight but Edgar was dominant throughout rounds 2 and 3. That knee was pretty close to dropping him. Sorry about Franca mookie
This should be an explosive fight between Silva and Irvin. I don't see it making it past the early second round. Of course I could be surprised but I think both guys are going to let their hands go pretty early.

that's cool. the fight kind of went how i expected it, but i thought hermes would be able to pull something out at the end. he should have shown more effort to get up earlier, but was seemingly content to wait for submission attempts. easy for me to say, eh?
anyway, i like the blue hair. it's still good to see him back. hope he can get the win next time, but kudos to frankie on a good win indeed.

agreed.
i just checked the fantasy league. we're all getting high point totals tonight. all manador is out in front though!
have to agree with joe on this one. a bit of a disappointing performance from vera. he looked great in the first, but wore down as the fight went on. he really could have won that fight in the first or second. i don't understand why he was only initiating with his kicks and some knees. he was only countering with his hands when he could have been using his reach the whole time to keep andy off and land more of those kicks.
should be an easy vera decision.
oh, and you're doing better than my 48 from last event, releash!
we should get at least one prelim, there's plenty of time left.
Irvin's eye is a mess. That gash will need a bunch of stiches, they've got gobs of vaseline in it. Once that heals there will be a bunch of scar tissue so he will be prone to bleeding in future fights (a la Forrest Griffin)
Pretty good night of fights, mookie. It was good to be back. Hope leafs had fun in Vegas. I wish we could all be going to Minneapolis. I can't wait for Aug 9 for GSP and Fitch. I don't know who to pick!!

i know! i wish our ufc crew was going!
not too bad overall tonight...what a turnaround in the markham fight. rory doesn't seem to mind taking a few punches...and then a perfect head kick to end it suddenly!
nice that you're back. i would have been talking to myself in here tonight!

ps How did I miss that Brandon Vera had come down to 205 lbs? He looks great, much more lean.
looks great, eh? he could be picking andy apart if he let the strikes go a bit more.
should be an easy vera decision.
oh, and you're doing better than my 48 from last event, releash!
yep.
my thoughts exactly. not much to it, but all he needs is an opening.
maybe we get to see a pre-lim?

i think i may have been typing when they showed irvin's eye. that doesn't sound good. ouch!

at least it was close, j bully...i would say you're not quite in the basement, but rather sitting on the staircase on the way to the main floor.
