Just posted one. Should be a great card

 

[Catherine B]

Some of the best fights of the year this weekend... glad to the see the hype matched the performances. Lawler/Hendricks was tough to decide...I couldn't fairly judge as I found myself rallying for Hendricks not just on his performance this weekend but his performance and professionalism to this point in his career (it's so hard not too!!). Have a feeling the judges aren't absence of that weakness at times either.

Feel free to kick me out for interrupting but if any of you are happy to help out a fellow mma fan and research student (UBC, Canada), please have a go or share my survey which looks at people's commitment and involvement in their main loves/interests - it's all completely confidential and there's more info in the link. People who have taken it so far have told me they enjoyed taking it so hope you do too:

When is the Shogun/Hendo card - tomorrow?

Yep. The weigh ins were only a few hours ago. One guy (forget who), missed weight by 4 pounds.

Fight pass is live now.

 

[bkozican]

very early stoppage

 

[Quivorir]

Such a tough rule. If you're falling it is instinct to grab something to stop you falling.

 

[bkozican]

Shogun or Hendo ???

Im picking Shogun. Not on any basis really, just like him better.

 

[Quivorir]

Still don't get why the person with the most points doesn't get declared the winner :S

 

[bkozican]

WOW

 

[bkozican]

at least 12-15 hard shots before the ref steps in.

 

[Quivorir]

* me, take a phone call during the fighters walk out and come back to see a replay of the fight.

Now the long wait til the main event.

 

[bkozican]

There is nothing worse

 

[bkozican]

Shogun looking good in the 1st

 

[the_interloper]

Hendo looks in a bit of trouble here, don't think he's recovered properly from the first round.

 

[bkozican]

He is taking some big hits

 

[the_interloper]

Holy s**t!

 

[Quivorir]

Wowee. What a hit.

 

[bkozican]

Shogun looked so good to. Hendo still has the power

 

[bkozican]

Gotta feel for Rua. I hope he continues to fight but realistically he doesn't have much time left

In MMA noses are optional.

2 H-bombs, yeah that's about right..

Weidman has injured his knee and now won't fight Machida until UFC 175 on July 5th.
