Please check out youtube and watch a clip that is titled "George foreman punches heavy bag." Preternatural power. With MMA gloves on a single punch from Foreman could have killed a man. Boxing over MMA honestly. I wouldn't want to fight a guy trained in either discipline though. I hope to take some boxing classes soon. I'm a decent athlete, shouldn't be too hard to pick up.

Shlemenko/Cooper on Bellator was absolutely bananas. Try and catch a replay.

To Shlemenko, there's simply no place for the wrestling-centric point-fighting prevalent in modern MMA.
"This type of ‘fighting,' if you wish, is sport. I can call it that: ‘sport.' It's not fighting," he said with a deadpan that would make Ivan Drago proud.
"A fight should be brutal; it should be a fight, a war. This is not fighting.
"This type of fighter, they're slowly killing MMA," Shlemenko continued. "They just kill the interest of people to mixed martial arts. People in the audience pay money to watch battles, to watch wars. Not to watch this type of 'sport' thing. I don't like this style at all and if I'm doing my best for my fights, they will be remembered, even if it's a spectacular loss."

Shlemenko definitely went for points in round 5 there. I don't mind tho. I like all aspects of the game and after 4 back and forth rounds with Cooper that probably shortened their lives and definitely their careers, I can't begrudge him locking up the fight in round 5 with a few takedowns.

Evan Tanner Documentary: Once I Was A Champion
Powerful movie. There were times were my eyes welled up. It's a shame someone like him died so young. If he had written a book, I would've bought it.
This is a must-watch for even the most casual of MMA fans.

UFC finally gets it. Jones took one last night but in the long run he knows this is better for his career and UFC. Jones is a beast. The rematch should be a much easier win.

The fight revealed that Jone's reach has indeed been a huge part of his success.
I'd love to see Glover Texieria get a crack at either Jones or Gustaf. If he ends up having to fight Gustaf then the winner should get a shot at Jones.

There was never any doubt that Jones' height and reach were simply insurmountable obstacles for his previous opponents. He was able to maintain distance, yet successfully strike his opponents with his hands or feet. Gustafsson was actually the superior striker in this fight - his hands were faster than Jones anticipated. He was able to successfully defend Jones' takedown attempts, while being the first to take Jones down. He nullified every advantage Jones usually enjoys over his opponents. He graciously admitted that he needed this kind of challenge, because he never REALLY knew what he had deep down within himself. When they read the scores, you actually didn't know who the winner was going to be. Matches like this are always great for the individual fighters AND the sport as a whole.

Good card last night
Diego Sanchez vs Gilbert Melendez was one of the most exciting fights I have seen. When Diego dropped Gilbert in the third Buffalo Wild Wings exploded and people were going nutts, including myself. Epic fight Diego has always left everything in the ring.

Diego is one of those guys that could lose 3 fights in a row and still not get cut

I have gone mano a mano with George St. Pierre in Montreal three times now.
Nightlife wise.

Hendricks got screwed over, I feel bad for the guy, and the Nevada Commission really need to get their s*** together, there is no way GSP should of won that fight, I just hope GSP doesn't retire and gives Hendricks that deserved rematch.

All in all that was an great card.
Loved Lawler putting it on Rory. Bad night for Tristar.
Enjoyed Kos getting ko'd aswell.
First card i had watched in ages. Womans MMA and all these little men had drained the fun. Dana and co really overestimated the womans MMA aspect in my opinion, They have damaged the brand with it. I dont want to be associated with that makes it more trashy then it already is.
