First PPV I've watched in a while. Though Rousey/Tate went 3 rounds, Tate never had a chance. Rousey was just too strong. Tate would've had to land a perfect shot to even have a chance. Hated to see Silva go out like that, but Weidman looks to be the real deal.

Thought the PPV was amazing but the end just left a sour taste in my mouth, have to think that is a career ending injury. That's not the way I want to remember Anderson. Sucks

Corey Hills leg break at UFC 159 was pretty damn bad!!!sportchampps;1558432 wrote:I've only seen one break worse then that in the UFC and it was a fight for the troops on spike tv where a guy thru a kick and his leg literally almost wrapped around the guys leg after the break.

Yea, Silva's done. I was never a Spider fan, but hate to see it end like that.robj55;1558436 wrote:Thought the PPV was amazing but the end just left a sour taste in my mouth, have to think that is a career ending injury. That's not the way I want to remember Anderson. Sucks

True. It hurts. But it hurt me when he displaced Rich's nose 7 years ago when he won the title from him.Enforcer;1558408 wrote:Agree!! Sucks to see Silva go down like that, Will be hard to comeback from that
He's been a hell of a Champ since though.

Whew that was as good of a card as I've seen live in quite some time. Can't get the image of Silva's leg snapping out of my head. Hate to see it end like that.

Awful way for Silva to go out. Awful. One of the worst injuries I've seen, up there with Stamkos' leg, McGahee's knee, and Theisman's leg. Damn.
After watching the 1st though, you knew it was Weidman's fight. I'll favor Weidman against Belfort as long as it's in the States.
As for Rousey/Tate, other than the Judo which was amazing, what a sloppy fight.

I loved the Rousey/Tate fight, thought Ronda showed quite a few new skills. What a competitor she is, total badass.End of Line;1558477 wrote:Awful way for Silva to go out. Awful. One of the worst injuries I've seen, up there with Stamkos' leg, McGahee's knee, and Theisman's leg. Damn.

I too thought Rousey showed serious striking and control improvement! Miesha fought a horrible game plan. Why she ever kept wanting it on the ground was simply bizarre but I think she was also taken off guard by the striking Rousey showed too!End of Line;1558477 wrote:Awful way for Silva to go out.

I felt like Rousey was practicing during that fight. Tate was never a danger to her.

The thing is Tate is probably the 4th or 5th best woman and Rhonda made it look like she's on a whole different level then her.

Tate looked like she was just happy to be there and to get a huge pay day

Doctors seems to think it'll heal stronger than before since he has rods in there. The rehab will really be the soft tissue they said and getting back full mobility in his foot and ankle.robj55;1558436 wrote:Thought the PPV was amazing but the end just left a sour taste in my mouth, have to think that is a career ending injury.

I think he comes back, but probably out for as long as cruz. Who's the other black fighter with skinny legs who did that? Corey something...I can't remember his name, but this break looked just as bad.

Bones has some of the skinniest legs I have ever seen relative to the rest of his body. He hast to be thinking twice about all the kicks he throws after watching that.

Just can't miss ha. Most guys don't check kicks like that because shin on shin hurts more than a kick to the thigh.Zoltan;1560670 wrote:Bones has some of the skinniest legs I have ever seen relative to the rest of his body.

Cruz out of the fight and loses his belt.
Faber and Barao fight for the title.

Initial reaction is Faber has no chance, but is a testament to how damn good Barao is.Raw Dawgin' it;1564102 wrote:Cruz out of the fight and loses his belt.

Faber is one of my favorite small fighters, but I like Barao as well.
Faber taking this on short notice is not going to bode well for him, that weight cut (his smaller weight class, so more of a cut) on short notice will hurt him.
I see Barao beating him easily, Faber would have a much better shot with a full camp in my opinion, but even then I'd go with Barao by decision.
