UFC 156

This would be an epic Brazil card , wonder if they are doing this on purpose to get them all healed at the same time for the next UFC Brazil

Overeem is an idiot for being so ****y ... and I picked him! 

Listen, I don't care how good of a striker you are, when you hold your hands that low against a guy as strong as Bigfoot, a guy with fists the size of lunchboxes .. you deserve to get knocked out.

Rashad did the same with Jones. I wanted Rashad to get knocked around a little because of the disappointment he caused, but to turn around and give another half ass performance pisses me off. 

What a ****y event! Such a stacked card and so much potential to be one of the events of the year, I'm so disapointed. It had it's moments some big upsets, Maia was very impressive, I was happy for Bigfoot and the Aldo/Edgar fight was ok, but just overall boring. I think my expectaions were to high aswell.

I thought the event was pretty good . Yeah i went 1-10 but aside from the Rashad fight we saw great KO's by Silva and Woodly , Great sub by Bobby Green and that leg kimura thing Dustin attempted was sick . We saw that the strikeforce guys are legit. the Tibau / Dunham fight was meh but we knew that . Figueroa and Rivera were tossing leather . Pretty good in my book aside from my % lol. 


Edit: also epic ground war by Maia and Fitch. I dont think anyone will sub Fitch again and Maia is BACK!!!

Very good not great event. Between the lack of finishes on the PPV and the rash of upsets ruining future big fights, expectations may not have been met but this was still a very good event imo.

Rd by rd scoring sucks but we have to use it but that doesn't mean you can't also consider the fight as a whole. Rd 1 was close but clearly Aldo's. Rd 2 was close. Could be argued for Edgar but I gave it to Jose as well. Rd 3 was even closer I thought so went to Edgar because he had made it a close fight by that pt. Aldo was clearly slowing down and as biased as Rogan can be he was right on that point last night. Imo it would've been wrong to give Aldo the 3rd unless you had given Edgar the 2nd. Should've been 2-1 going into the 3rd. I believe that more strongly than I believe either fighter won either of rds 2 & 3. Clearly 4th was Edgar so 2-2 going into the 5th but with Aldo having the slightest advantage on my card so if either truly won the 5th, they would win the fight. Thought the 5th was very close but Aldo had a slight advantage so 48-47. People who want to say this fight wasn't debatable need to have a more open mind and accepting of opinions that differ.

I disagree with you. I think it really only debatable due to the flawness of judging not because the fight was debatable.  If you went purely off point fighting, yes edgar could arguably be given the win, but if you factor in damage, it all aldo. Aldo did significantly more damage. He was winning the fight. He was landed many more head shots. Many of Edgar strikes were leg kicks, and he still did less damage to Aldo leg then Aldo did to him with throwing  not even haft the leg kicks.

This is the worst I've ever done on a UFC event. Overeem/Evans... is this real life?

@cal1

Same here. 

Ian McCall only made $9,000 this past weekend.  That's some ****.

McCall made more than $9,000. He said last fight he made close to 80k. He also put on a great fight with Benavidez, so he probably got hooked up.
