sorry for all the consecutive posts...i don't usually do that...:D haha

ceg and leafs...just wanted to let you know that spike is replaying the silva vs. irvin fight night tonight at 9 your time, and again tomorrow at 4 your time.

edit: also, i saw the pictures of anthony johnson today, post eye surgery. he had to have damage to his retina and a laceration repaired after the eye poke (s) that kevin burns hit him with. he said he's planning on appealing the "tko loss" with the NSAC. i hope he gets either a no contest or a disqualification. a no contest is more likely, but in no way should he have a loss on his record, in my opinion.

+1
agree completely, no way he should have a loss on his record for that fight.

i agree mookie, that andrea arlovski (sp) was great. fight of the night for both cards indeed. I wish he had fought like this in his last couple ufc fights. I still don't understand why they dropped him but what's done is done.

Believe it or not there are no parlay bets on ufc in vegas. I can't remember why, the teller told me but i forget. Anyways, only straight bets on mma and they only had 4 fights to bet on for the ufc card and 6 for the affliction card. The pyle bet wasn't offered unfortunatly.

that's weird, eh? strange that the pyle bet wasn't offered. the farm, i tell ya, the farm!

yup you are right. Johnson had that fight in the bag and then gets a tko loss because of an illegal move? That was a joke. I have to say Burns did look pretty good, he just needs to really work on his wrestling and sprawls/takedown defence. I was sitting beside a guy in the flamingo that was training with burns and flew down with him. Even he was saying that burns lost the fight. He also said that burns only works on maui thai and bjj, so i told him to give him a message to train hard on his takedown defence and he could do well in the ufc.

that's right on. i hear stories like this sometimes, especially when events take place in vegas and i picture it being kind of small...if you know what i mean. it seems you're almost bound to run into or have a good conversation with someone directly related to a fighter or event going on. that's cool that you had a chance to talk to him about it.

wish i saw it, i missed the dream card and forgot to dvr it :(

i think i can find it elsewhere though

indeed. not as good as hansen vs. alvarez...i think that's still possibly my fight of the year choice (torres vs. maida being a close second), but still WELL worth watching!

i would reply to your other posts, leafs, but we're in agreement on most things. we need some animosity up in here! just kidding, man. we don't always all agree on things here, but it's so cool to talk about mma the way we can here. so refreshing after trying to wade through the crap on mma sites looking for information and news. you really can't have a reasonable discussion in most of those places...but that's our friendly neighbourhood interweb, i guess.

they are especially WAY out of hand right now with all the fighting about affliction vs. ufc and who is the best "pound for pound" fighter, etc. all just opinions...and some of those people just need to relax and enjoy the sport. there's enough people outside of it who don't like it that they don't need to be hating each other! haha

anyway...looks like i'm rambling...that's new!

i'm running on fumes at the moment, hoping to stay awake for the whole show...the showtime and cbs broadcasts...i think once it gets going i might get a second wind.

anyone watchig the undercard on showtime / the fight network? anyone watching the cbs show? anyone? anyone?...beuller?...

p.s. go shayna! go Pezão!

good first round to start the night. i was really looking forward to seeing reis as i'd heard good things about him, but he looks like he's pretending in the stand up and it looked like every punch that caraway landed really hurt him. he was able to dominante position on the ground though. looking good so far.

mookie blaylock 10

slower second, but caraway lands a big knee!

man, there is a ton of blood on the mat from one of the pre-lims. :eek:

mookie blaylock 10

few good scrambles there in the third. caraway started getting "carried away" with the knee and was throwing it every time he stood up, then he would get taken down EVERY time. i don't know why he didn't throw his hands in the third. he could have dropped reis pretty easily.

don't know who got this one...maybe reis?

yep, reis wins a unanimous decision. not an overly impressive showing, though. his defense on the feet looked very porous.

mookie blaylock 10

i feel bad for travis. he didn't really stand a chance there. feijao definitely looking more and more like anderson silva every match. those knees he was throwing looked just like anderson's. he landed a bunch of them at the end, a couple of flying ones, ithnk...couldn't tell from the camera angle and eventually travis drops and feijao finshes with strikes. this guy is only going to get better and better training with anderson and big nog. scary thought!

also, what is wrong with this crowd?!?! they're booing everything. hope it doesn't continue like that all night...

mookie blaylock 10

looks like antonio is pacing himself. he taking it easy on eilers but still, easily his round.

bullshit point deuction from herb dean for shots to the baclk of the head (they weren't) though, so could be a 9-9 round.

mookie blaylock 10

Pezão!

he lands an immediate left hand, knocks eilers' mouthpiece out and swarms him like a bear! pounds out the win for the HW belt!

mookie blaylock 10

CBS show starts in half an hour...

mookie blaylock 10

great first round! both fighters fighting their fight well.

chicks fighting is hot to me

wow whata a punch to finish it

mookie blaylock 10

whoa! what a fight! i totally underestimted cristiane coming into this one. i was completely wrong about how i thought this fight would go. wow! cristiane has improved dramatically and is WAY more accurate. what a smart fight and she ended up totally dominating after shayna got tired going for the knee bars in the first. cristiane looked fantastic!

indeed....the punch, i mean.

i have seen cristiane's previous four fights and she was wild and sloppy wit her muay thai and just overwhelmed her opponents with her power. man, has she improved tenfold! wow! i can't wait to see gina carano vs. cristiane santos now!
