Bader went from looking like a contender, then gets stopped 2 fights in a row.

Yeah. Losing to Jones is one thing. Getting stopped by a way past his prime Ortiz like that is a real career destroyer. It'll take a LOT for him to be taken seriously again and he'll probably be on the "cut list" soon if he doesn't win his next fight.

Wow @ Tito beating Bader. There isn't much else to say about that.

Leben looked great. I knew someone was going to get ended quick in that fight.

I thought the main event was a draw myself but the champ is always going to win when it's that close.

Lyoto Machida and Chael Sonnen being rumored for UFC 136 in Houston. Also rumored on that card are Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard 3 and Jose Aldo vs Kenny Florian, that would be card of the year!

That would be a huge card, 2 title fights and a few big names like Machida and Sonnen.

Sonnen has been calling Machida out, can only imagine the trash he would talk and how he would hype the fight.

Would Sonnen come up to 205 for that fight? I don't think that would be the card of the year for me but it would be good.

Granted he did own Silva for most of that fight but damn don't talk shit now. The next time they fight it may end in a minute with a kick to the face. I hate when a fighter does that kind of shit. Here is what he should say. "I would have won but I tapped out."

I am ready for the Brazil card next month but I am also pretty pumped for the Fedor/Hendo fight.

Silva and Machida are very different fighters, I would be surprised if Sonnen could even take Lyoto down once.

Yeah, I wasn't comparing Machida/Silva. I was referring to Sonnen talking shit about how he could have finished Silva or whatever he said.

He has been absolutely trashing Brazil and their fighters the past few months, I don't like the guy because he's a cheater but he is hilarious and can sell a fight. He has lost his realm of reality, "the only guy who would have finished him quicker is me" referring to Wanderlei this weekend. LOL Chael you don't finish anyone let alone in under 30 seconds.

Looks like it will Chael Sonnen vs Brian Stann instead at UFC 136, not a good matchup for Stann imo

I think sonnen has underrated stand up. Not much finishing power but can definitely hold his own. Also think he'll plant stann on his back and pound away. Only problem is he's not a finisher which just gives stann more time to pull off a triangle or arm bar.

I like Stann but he better work on his wrestling. I only see Stann winning by a one punch KO. I expect Sonnen to take the fight to the ground and control all 3 rounds to victory.

They did offer it to Tito but that looks like a no go:

Just make Bones and Rashad fight and be done with that!

Tito has now changed his mind and will take the fight with Rashad at UFC 133. Machida's camp reportedly said they would take the fight if they paid him Anderson Silva type of money.
