Bendo Jackson Hunt Shields Boetcsh,
I hope Boestch wins, Okami is irrelevant in the division.
Who knows? Who knows, who knows, who knows?
these guys aint no bullies -
Japs are dominating tonight for sure
wow racist much?
not racist – true… Feel bad for yamamoto dang!
um i pretty sure “japs” IS a racist term
it is.. but some people will never learn.
japs is notttt racist….imagine if everytime you wanted to talk about a japanese person you didnt know you had to keep spelling out japanese because some over sensitive american retards feel the need to whine over any amount of racism because we have been brainwashed growing up to defend everyone…however…america is the most racist country in the world…no country is better, theres no better place to live, theres no better group of people on the planet…if you really want to defend someone who needs it…take a look at what american government is doing to our bill of rights, or what is atleast left of it, instead of whining cause someone said *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***….sorry…my ***** made keyboard geeked out
Well Andy very impressive use of more racist shit, to amplify the point of your racist ignorance. I clearly see why saying `Japanese` would be complicated for someone so simple. You probably think the bible was written in English too.
diek, i think andy has issues. hope he gets the help he sorely needs..
Gomi got this
Andy slaps *** sperm in his nigget ass
Hope Kid Y gets another fight and I think Dana will give him one more chance…let’s see if Gomi can get the first KO of the night
AK, first KO was the 1st prelim fight. Tamura ko’d Zheng..
My bad forgot somebody got KOed earlier..looks like it will be between that dude and most likely Rampage for KO of the night
Gomi in the House!!!
Will there be fight breakdowns for these, or just results?
anyone think Mizugaki got robbed in his fight? I know it wasnt a totally exciting fight, but thought he won that fight easily. never leave it to the judges, i guess. lolz. If the judges can find a way to screw up a decision, they will…
@Krafty11
I feel ya on that one, Mizugaki won that one in my eyes. He had Octagon Control, more takedowns and more strikes.
unreal at Pettis, that was a major fluke – Joe didnt event get a chance to get started, thats unfortunateI was really looking for Lauzon to start rising through the ranks!
****ed up!
He will learn and come back stronger. It just pissed me off how fast it happened, but that is how it rolls some times.
no doubt, joe will be back.
to be honest i wanted to see the ground game of those 2
I’m hatein not gettin these fights
SHOWTIME BABY!!!
Props to Lauzon for keeping it standing LIKE HE SAID
……Condit could take some notes from J-lo
It would fun to watch a standup fight with Pettis and Frankie.
Hioki doin work!!!

Boto suckah vote for pedro
where did my posts go?
TIM BOETSCH VERY NICE COMEBACK
Outstanding comeback by Boetsch, unbelievable.
Tim Boetsch JUST DID WORK
Yeah there’s no better place to live…. let’s drop your retarded ass off in one of the countries in Africa that embraces cannibalism and let’s see what you think then. And I am American and don’t find the word Japs racist. To me honestly I could careless of what part of the world your from or race. In the end only the smart will survive when the world turns to shit. Stupidity isn’t race related its your blatant ignorance towards the obvious.
I wonder if they will set up Pettis vs Henderson 2 if Bendo loses tonight. Pettis probably will have to take 1 more fight..maybe the winner of Nate Diaz vs Jim Miller..or loser because that fight is I think the lightweight title elimiinator…this kind of puts Pettis in a little bit of a limbo now since all other top contenders are coming off of a loss..at least the ones I can think of..
makes sense mang
lmao @ joe rogan cryin bout 2 fence grabs.
Should have taken a point i agree. But I had yama winning 2 rounds to one.
Man I hope the power doesn’t go out on Kauai, thunder is rumbling over here. Not looking forward to seeing how underpaid Ben Henderson is for this fight regardless though.
Go jake
Jake will submit him easy.
GO RYAN “MASTER” BADER
Wish I could watch this fat bastard fight dirty
Damnit, all my picks so far have been wrong. Missed the Shields fight, was it as lay n pray as it looks, or did he actually work for it?
akiyama was doin g but jake was being a blanket most of the time. 3rd round he had akiyama in trouble on the ground. i thought akiyama had rounds 1 and 2.
And I’m not watching it, but I’m keeping up with it and it sounds to me like the Japanese fighters aren’t doing to well tonight.
they were doin g in the prelims!
sucks for rampage – damn
Goldberg’s mic blends in with his jacket lol
omg lots of up sets tonight i love it
Another pick of mine wrong. I expected Bader to make it a ground fight, was hoping he would have the decency to put on a good show for the fans. I knew there was a reason I didn’t like him. EDGER HAS TO WIN or I’ll finish 0-7 on the main card.
I think Bader has to probably be my least favorite fighter of all time. I was so happy when he got choked out twice in a row.
Damn…I knew there was a reason why I didn’t bother making picks on this card..Boetsch and Bader upsets are rather big ones..especially the Bader one..Rampage only loses to the absolute best..BIG WIN for Bader.
Ryan bader is a bitch.
Big Win for The Darth
+win bonus +20% or purse from jackson
Honestly I think Jackson slept on Bader like he did Grifffin
I’d rather watch Diaz-Condit over and over again than watch another wrestler fight. They’re just so damn boring.
I thought it was Jon Fitch dressed up in a Ryan Bader costume. When is MMA going to outlaw “FITCHING”
Rampage needs to retire
Bendo destroyed Edgar. I would say bendo added about 5 more concussions to Edgars already countless concussions. Edgar is goimng to be brain damaged for life if he doesn’t stop fighting now and its already prob too late. Tim efor Edgar to drop to 145. He takes way too much punishment
Youre an idiot, Henderson far from destroyed frankie. He cracked him like twice and only the up kick dropped him
^probably his biggest fight purse 2..Bader might be someone for Hendo to fight..its what they’re both looking for..I’m sure Bader would love this chance to break into top 5 perhaps (at #5) and this is somebody coming off of a big win and somebody Dan should be confident against…BATTLE OF THE OVERHAND RIGHTS.
Whos winning Edgar or Benson?
Fight will either go one of two ways, they’ll either dry hump each other the whole fight or Henderson will knock Bader the **** out. I’ll take the latter. Hendo has the better standup and the better wrestling.
terrible decision…frankie won that
Maybe you should go down to Japan and explain.
not one scratch on Bendo’s face..Frankie’s face is all fudged up. Its not how many lil shots you land..but who does more damage and who controls the octagon.
Props to Bendo
I thought Fe’s speed would give him an edge, it didn’t
…I was wrong.
(now hopefully BJ comes back and gets that belt!!!!!)
p.s. Frankie to 145 vs Hioki for #1 Contender? Sounds good to me.
I dont want to see BJ fight Ben, that would be extremely difficult to watch, but it sure would be ONE HELL OF A FIGHT!
Really damn so does it look close enough for Edgar to get immediate rematch?
YUP, IMMEDIATE REMATCH
-1
Thats it baby!!! & anybody that thinks Frankie won the fight is a fckn retard to say the least!! Just look at their faces and tell me who won… WAR Bendo!!!!
Bendo vs Pettis 2?
+1 if Frankie doesn’t get rematch immediately
he wont. that fight wasnt even controversial…
I think Pettis could pull out another upset
Nm wonder if frankie will go to FW or maybe even BW
GOTDAM BIG UPS AND MAJOR CONGRATS TO BEN SMOOTH HENDERSON! YOU DESERVED IT!
FRANKIE YOU A BEAST BUT CMON MAN YOU GOT YOUR ASS BEAT TONIGHT, HOW YOU SAY YOU THOUGHT YOU DID ENOUGH TO GET THE W? FACE IT.
Where did you see him get his ass beat? Frankie had way more take downs and landed way more strikes. He got hit by an up kick and a knee that’s the only reason his face looked so bad.
Wow. I had it rds. 1, 3 & 5 Edgar. Since when do judges score based on genetics. Main reason his eye was so bad was from the upkick and a knee.
Damn Edgar took one hell of a beating as usual. How anyone actually thinks Edgar won thta fight i will never understand. Bendo had Edgar pinned upside down and was dropping elbows at end of 2 rounds. Edgar was saved by bell at least twice. Edgar look like he ran out road an d tried to stop a bus with his face. Frankie you can’t steal every decsion.
Thats my nigga, close tho
Edgar’s biggest mistake was walking into that upkick. That took a piece out of him for the rest of the fight. He was looking great until that point. I thought he was going to steal that round until Henderson did that.
