Indeed, I thought she had the neck-crank!

There's no defending that armbar against someone who has been woken up by her mother since 6 years old, constantly running drills. Craziness.

Or Carmouche-Faber?

Cyborg is the only matchup for her that makes sense now, or maybe even a rematch with Meisha if she beats Zingano.

Cyborg will tear her up on the feet with ease if she can keep it there.

^ Exactly! :D

I know, what a silly decision though. It's the only match-up that makes sense.

Tito needs to get it together. No way she'll die if she cuts to 135. :rolleyes:

Yeah it does seem like an odd decision, not sure why she would choose going back to the small shows over dropping 10 pounds and fighting in the biggest spotlight in the world.
 
Some good fights post fight interesting - Good chance the Diaz will be cut from his GSP fight due to missing so many commitments :(
 
Bellator 90 was packed full of awesome stoppages. I especially enjoyed watching King Mo's slow motion collapse after eating that back fist!

Been following Bellator for a while, they have some really good talent in the promotion, I can't stand the way every fighter has a vignette portraying their sob story before the fight though. I couldn't care less if you grew up on the 'streets of Brazil', your Mother died or your house set on fire last year.... Seriously, just show me the fights.

On the topic of 157, the girls really turned the event around after the lacklustre co main event. Rousey looked in real trouble and managed to come through, really enjoyed the fight but it's been interesting watching her rise through the ranks of Strikeforce to the big leagues. I wonder how long it'll take the UFC to set up Tate and Rousey again, they hate each other so much it'll be a very easy to sell fight?
 
Has anyone ever seen Faber and Carmouche in the same room at the same time??? :D

Decent event imo - except for the Hendo vs Machida "fight" - you could tell Hendo just wanted to bang but as good as Machida is technically, he simply doesn't have an exciting style!

I'd much rather have seen Hendo get the "W" as I've no desire to see Bones destroy Machida again!
 
Despite a few initial reservations, it appears UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (22-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) will indeed face Anthony Pettis (16-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC).

Really looking forward to this fight, with a win Aldo will get a shot at the lightweight title

Should be a good fight but it just reinforces my opinion that they have introduced too many of the lower weight classes!

Theoretically one guy could win all 4 belts (only ranging from 125lbs to 146lbs!) and dominate the lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight and flyweight classes leaving us with fewer title fights! :(

They should have just left it at the original 5 weights in my opinion! If they felt they had to add another class then add one - not three!!!
 
what's the consensus on GSP v Diaz. I want GSP to win because I like his style ethic and behaviour, plus if Diaz loses he might go boxing and there's a little part of me that would like to see him smash Mayweather. But there's a part of me that wants Diaz to win as I think him and Anderson would be a better fight than Anderson v GSP. Just gotta hope Diaz doesn't step on too many toes between now and 158

Don't really see Diaz standing much of a chance. He doesn't have the KO power to hurt GSP like Condit or Serra did, and the moment GSP feels he's in trouble on the feet he's just gonna close the distance and take him down on pin him against the cage.

I'm a Nick Diaz fan, I like the way he fights. However the bit I just bolded is a jaw dropping over estimation of Nicks ability. In a proper boxing match Nick would get destroyed by Floyd, it wouldnt even be close!

Personally I want Diaz to win, but I see GSP taking it by simply doing his blanket routine for 25 minutes.

oh i don't think it's a cert, but with Mayweather having to fight 6 times in 2 years with his new deal, and Diaz being a big pull, plus Diaz is so unorthodox it might be enough for an upset. It was just a thought and the only way it happens is a Diaz loss to GSP.
