MMA Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Machida_vs._Anders
I’ll take Machida and Shevchenko
Roll Tide Eryk !!!
I’ll take Anders, Santos and Means.
Thanks for the reminder! Roll Tide, Mr. Anders!
I’ll take Anders and Shevchenko.
Bummer about the Dodson fight getting scrapped.
Let me on, I love this stuff! Johnson Green Shevchenko Anders!
Screw Dodson. Last time he fought he came out under aFilipino flag. He was born, raised and went to school in America. His mom is Filipino and his dad is American. Which makes him as Filipino as I am Irish. If you lived with all the advantages of being an American and are too embarrassed by America to carry the flag you are no friend of mine...
I’ll take Machida
You’ve been added.
Main event time! If anyone is still up.
That was the longest 5 minutes of that poor womans life...lol
We met Rafael dos Anjos in November, at Laguna Beach, a friend of our son at their church. Nice guy!
Machida wins by Split Decision, a little home cooking?
Machida calls out Bisping, that would be a great matchup for Bisping’s final fight.
Dana White apologizes to Priscila Cachoeira for ref Mario Yamasaki not stopping the fight sooner, calling Mario’s officiating “disgusting”.
News
Bad news, Featherweight Champ Max Holloway was injured in training and is out of his title defense against Frankie Edgar at UFC 222 March 3rd, the fight had already been postponed in December when Edgar was injured. UFC trying to keep Edgar on the card with a new opponent.
Not surprising, Ronda Rousey signs with the WWE, looks like she’s done with real fighting, she refuses to even talk about her defeats in interviews.
Cool!
He might add his name to the list of 2 division champions soon as he’s expected to face Tyron Woodley for the Welterweight belt.
Older kid, her husband and I all thought Machida deserved the win. Anders did a lot of chasing and following but seemed reluctant to pull the trigger. Even is corner was yelling “you go first!” because of his lack of initiative. It was the proper decision, in my opinion.
As for Machida versus Bisping, I’d like to see that fight. Not a Bisping fan, but I think he’d probably win it.
And Shevchenko’s demolition of Cachoeira was as impressive as it was lopsided. Yamasaki gave Cachoeira WAY too much credit for her toughness. She had no answers for what was being done to her and it should have been stopped sooner.
Bisping should retire, get his eye fixed, and enjoy the rest of his life as a coach/commentator/etc.
Rhonda should have rounded out her skill-set, but she didn’t and hence her current situation.
