not exactly a great card :/
you lads watching on TV or streamed? gonna find a stream myself
the prelims are on spike atm

Caffrey · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:26

Stream yes

Great first prelim. Munoz won.

crunchman · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:30

Agreed very nice opening fight, Munoz is a hell of a worker

Not liking that ref, he stood them up very early twice, would hate for him to bugger up a match later.

Gotta add that Simpson is an absolute beast taking that head kick on the chin !

cainer · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:34

matt brown to win this one by tko

Zip · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:41

How long til the Joe Lauzon vs. George Sotiropoulos fight?

cainer · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:44

not sure what order they are fighting in, program starts in 15 mins

cainer · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:48

nice one, he punished him for kicking him in the nads

Caffrey · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:50

What a top lad, good choke to finish too.

crunchman · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:51

hehe well and truly punished him !

Brutal fight there, loads of transitions on the ground reminded me a bit of the Sanchez/Thiago fight a few weeks back

Is this cup check night?

Amnesia · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:51

nice fight and yeah good payback for the dirty kick

crunchman · 21 Nov 2010 at 02:58

Wow Karo

no eye gouging, no fiddling with the gentlemans area, no head kicking on the floor, no punching back of head, no holding cage, no holding shorts, no head butting

Amnesia · 21 Nov 2010 at 03:02

you missed the no biting ears off as did Mike Tyson

im hunting down machida and putting that whooping on
lol love it

crunchman · 21 Nov 2010 at 03:03

I'm gonna go for Machida, his only stop has come from a combo of speed and leg kicks, Rampage isn't known for either really anymore, I want Rampage to get the W though

^TANK^ · 21 Nov 2010 at 03:21

Sod it can't sleep, I'll watch it.

Ahleckz · 21 Nov 2010 at 03:31

I watched some of this, first UFC fight. I expected it to be faster and more brutal. The kicks especially don't seem particularly strong. Is it 'real'?
