Bisping kicked his ass.
This current fighting is sorta boring.

Jones forces a tap in the 4th to retain belt. Was dropping nasty short elbows as well!

Wow. Not a lot of updates and sounds like it was a real boring card overall. Anyone care to spice it up a bit for me?

I thought it was a pretty good card actually. The Facebook fights to start the night were all one rounders with some good finishes. The prelims on fx were solid especially the Dunham fight. The main card started off with a bang by cub Swanson. The hamill fight was the most boring of the night. Stann vs Bisping was a decent fight with Stann landing a solid punch late in the first that hurt bisping but he missed his chance to finish him. After that it was pretty much all bisping using wrestling. The Mighty Mouse fight was pretty damn entertaining. It's amazing at the pace they can fight at for five rounds. He also escaped a good submission by basically wiggling out. The main event was a beat down but Belfort almost pulled the upset with a picture perfect arm bar that jones survived. I wouldn't be surprised if his elbow has some serious damage to it.

The card as a whole was actually pretty good, the Flyweight fight was a lot of fun to watch (lots of action and very technical).
Jones actually got his arm messed up by a Belfort armbar in the first (definitely hyper extended, possibly torn ligaments) but he refused to tap (even said after the fight that he figured it was about to break and the ref would stop it with a technical submission).
His right arm was numb the whole rest of the fight, and eventually scored an americana to submit Belfort.
The Stann/Bisping fight wasn't that exciting to be honest, which is surprising because normally they both come to fight.
The FX fights were interesting, and as someone said before, the FB fights were all 1st round finishes.

I really thought Belfort was going to beat him. I just don't care for the flyweight guys. I mean it's kind of exciting but I think it's my least favorite division to watch. I was also hoping for Stann to lay Bisping out but the fight was just alright.

Same here. A couple pf my buddies went to BDubs for the fight and I guess hardly anyone was paying attention when that fight was on. I remember hearing Joe Rogan talk about how exciting the fight was. To each their own I suppose.Raw Dawgin' it;1279038 wrote:The lighter the guys get the less interested I am.

I like 155 a lot - but unless Aldo is fighting i don't care about 145 and i have no interest in 135 or 125. Dominic Cruz is a douche bag.bigdaddy2003;1279054 wrote:Same here.

There has to be something done about cards getting cancelled.
I enjoyed the flyweights fight. I think it amazing to watch a guy like Mighty Mouse be able to float across the ring. Their ability in the scrambles is amazing you might see 2-3 submissions and reversals in a matter of 10 seconds. I would much rather see a flyweights fight then a wrestler who just wants to lay and pray.

I love the little guys myself, lots of nonstop action!! I agree as well on cancelling of cards, I mean yes you can refund ticket prices but what about the hotels people book, their travel costs, etc...for already arranging to come to the event? Also the area businesses that were counting on the visitors for the event.

That's not the UFC / Strikeforce's problem. The hotels, travel costs, etc. is however.Fab1b;1279455 wrote:I love the little guys myself, lots of nonstop action!!

I know its not their problem persay but cities will not want to host the event if this keeps happening because the local businesses will not support it

Anyone watch the FUEL card? Watched online during the Buckeye game. Wasn't bad, I continue to doubt Struve but yet he proves me wrong!

That was a great card last night, Struve continues to improve, still high on Miocic but he seemed to gas a bit in the second.
