Any MMA fans?
 

Watching tonight's UFC on FX/Fox.

Some great fights so far tonight.

Figured I'd start an MMA discussion thread.

Yup Benson vs. Diaz about to start I think Benson is going to take the win.

bj should have stayed retired, or at 155.

Agreed. Lately, everytime BJ has come back and said "I'm in the best shape, I feel like the best BJ", he keeps looking worse and worse.

Yeah Rory really beat the crap out of BJ, to the point where I almost felt bad for BJ (he started to look very defeated mentally by mid 2nd round). I felt the same way when he fought GSP...and his corner finally threw in the towel.

Went to the fights this weekend and it was amazing to actually be there in person...well worth the money to see it live. Sucks to see so many of my favorites like BJ and Shogun (PRIDE FTW) getting owned by this new breed of fighters but the sport keeps evolving and the old school guys are becoming too one dimensional and can't keep up.

BJ said after the fight he was done but who knows that may have just been post fight depression or locker room rumors. If he does fight agian it will be at 155. Even then though Ben Henderson looked DOMINANT against Diaz and I don't think BJ would've done any better.

I watched the entire card, Facebook to the main event. This was overall the best card I have seen this year. It is messed up that the UFC expects me to pay $55 for a PPV card with one big time fight, but gives away a great card like this.

The UFC is having too many events and their fight card depths have become paper thin. This is why I only pay to watch a couple PPVs per year and don't feel bad streaming everything else.

Even at 155 lbs Penn never looked huge or ripped. I don't have anything to back me up on this, but I think he could make 145 lbs if he took his nutrition seriously and really tried to cut weight. He looks like a naturally soft 170-175 lbs when not getting ready for a fight. He looks like he cuts 10-15lbs for 155 lb fights. I have never seen him after a weigh-in looking substantially bigger. Guys like Rory Mac, Forrest Griffin, Jones, Aldo, and others look a lot different from their weigh-in.

Penn is still one of my favorite fighters, but he needs to $hit or get off the pot, 155 lbs or retire. It is sad to see him end his amazing career by getting his butt whooped. With Edgar gone from lightweight he could make another run for the belt. I would love to see BJ Penn vs. Nate Diaz: the revenge.

Agreed, it's been a long time if ever that I've been so thoroughly entertained by a card top to bottom.

They should've combined the heavyweight title fight with this card, and then would have been KILLER!

Also would be kind of nice as it's the sequel to their first fight which was on Fox, so seeing the 2nd one on Fox would be good for casual fans.

Heads up tonight is the TUF smashes finale on FX, and tomorrow is the regular TUF finale also on FX.

Only watched the Lombard vs. Palhares fight. Lombard looked like a monster, but Palhares is a headcase. Too bad because I thought Palhares would be fighting for the title someday. Obviously I was very wrong.

Still need to see the Nelson vs. Mitrione fight.

Any of the other fights any good? Didn't really want to watch the TUF guys fight. They are always disappointing.

UFC 155 tomorrow. Facebook prelims starting at 3:30 PT, then FX prelims, then PPV (free for me). Hope I get to see all the fights. I want Cain to win, so he can beat the crap outta Overroid, but can't see him beating JDS.

JDS vs Ubereem is a better match up in my opinion. It would be the first true striking test for JDS.
